Introduction to Thai Yoga Massage

at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach, Fl

27-28 February 2010 / 9:30am-4:30pm

 

Thai Yoga Massage, like other forms of yoga, is a connection between heaven and earth through the recipient's body. The difference is that in Thai, you as the practitioner are helping to facilitate that connection for your recipient, as well as experiencing it yourself. Unlike many forms of bodywork, you do not leave the session feeling tired and depleted; instead the practitioner receives the same healing energy and benefits throughout the session as the recipient. Thai combines reflexology, myofascial release techniques, acupressure, compressions, stretching and energy work into an amazing multi-dimensional session. To experience this ancient modality for yourself and learn basic techniques, join us in this two day class. Perfect for yogis, massage therapists, personal trainers and the curious.

 

Class size is limited so advance registration is required.

Sign up below or by phone at 786.261.6170.

Songkran Festival

(Thai New Year)

 

Thailand's most celebrated festival is the Songkran (สงกรานต์) Festival. It starts April 13 and lasts between 3 and 10 days, depending on where you are in Thailand. The word Songkran is from the Sanskrit meaning “The beginning of a new Solar Year”, but nowadays Thailand celebrates the New Year on 31 December.

The Thai people celebrate this festival with water. Families and friends gather to celebrate by visiting temples, sprinkling water on Buddha images in reverence, and sprinkling water on each other's hands. Traditionally the ceremony was to pour water into the palms hands in order that bad actions, bad thoughts flow away with the water. It was a way to purify. While pouring the water in this manner, people say good wishes and words of blessing for the coming New Year wishing good luck. Everyone gets soaking wet and since it is the hottest season of the year, the custom is quite refreshing. Young people pour scented water into the hands of elders and parents as a mark of respect while seeking the blessing of the older people. In ancient days, old people were actually given a bath and clothed in new apparel presented by the young folks as a token of respect for the New Year. Songkran is a Public Spring Cleaning Day, supported by the religious belief that anything old and useless must be thrown away or it will bring bad luck to the owner.

 

The first day of Songkran period is an important day to make good deeds. People visit temples to listen to Dharma. Also they give alms to monks. During the afternoon of the 13th, Buddha images are bathed as part of the ceremony. When praying and requesting a favor to the Lord Buddha, Thai people take three incense sticks, i.e one pour the Buddha, one for the Sangha (สังฆ - Buddhist community), one for the Dharma (ธรรม - teachings of the Buddha), a flower (ดอกไม้ - orchid or lotus, which symbolizes the Buddhist teachings purity) and a small candle (เทียน - it symbolizes comprehension enlightenment). They lit the incense sticks and kneel three times and put the incense sticks in front of the statue.

Until recently Thailand was almost entirely an agricultural society and this has been a perfect time to take break from the business of earning a living. The rice harvest is in, and replanting has to await the coming of the rains.

It is an old belief that the Nagas or mythical serpents brought on rain by spouting water from the seas. The more they spouted, the more rain there would be. So, one might believe that the Songkran customs of throwing water is actually a rain-making idea, but it seems that the Thais don't really bother about way they celebrate Songkran - they just do it for having a great time!

For Songkran, the traditional greetings are:

o                "Happy New Year" "SAWATDEE PI MAI - สวัสดีปีใหม่  

o                "Lucky New Year" "CHOK DEE PI MAI - โชคดีปีใหม่.

o                "Be happy on Songkran day" "KOR HAI MII KWAM SUUK NAI     WAN SONGKRAN" - ขอให้มีความสุขในวันสงกรานต์.

 

Sacred Bodywork is involved in the Buddhist Thai community's rituals and the joy of Thai Buddhist practices.

To all our Friends, Teachers & Thai Students:

Lucky New Year to all - CHOK DEE PI MAI – โชคดีปีใหม่ …

Much love
 Health and Happiness
 Happy Songkran!

Wat Buddharangsi Miami

Wat Buddharangsi of Miami Temple in Miami, Fla.

Buddhist temples in Thailand have not only sustained monastic communities, but have also served as schools, village news centers, hospital dispensaries, employment information centers, hostel, and community centers; we are blessed to have Wat Buddharangsi in Miami/ Homestead. Buddhist traditions honor the essential freedom of religious practice granted to all. Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and Sikhs have all practiced their faiths without any form of harassment or discrimination in Thailand, so if you happen to visit this beautiful temple in Miami, you are most welcome.

Honoring one of our dearest Thai massage teachers:

 

Mama Lek Chaiya (THIWONG)

at Nerve Touch Massage School- Thailand

 

Sacred Bodywork is honored to introduce one of the finest Thai massage teachers in Thailand: The legendary "Mama Lek Chaiya"-

 

Today, we at Sacred Bodywork honor one of its great Thai massage masters: Mama Lek Chaiya. Lek Chaiya holds a prominent profile in the Traditional Thai massage arts and is a recognized inspiration among her colleagues and students around the world. For many generations in Lek Chaiya’s family, the traditional Thai Healing Arts have been handed down from mother to daughter and Mama Lek began her training with her mother, a revered healer in Jom Thong district, Chiangmai. As a young woman, she moved to Lampang where she raised her family and continued to work in Ancient Traditional Thai Massage.

 

In 1982 she came to Chiangmai to join the staff of The Association of Northern Herbs at Wat Suan Dok.  When the association was disbanded, she founded ‘Ancient Thai Massage Lek Chaiya’, located in front of Wat Suan Dok and remained as owner and director until 1994, after which she operated out of her home until 1997. Then she launched her new venture with her son (Maew, Tananan Willson): Lek Chaiya Nerve-Touch Traditional Thai Massage School with Medicinal Herbs Packs.

 

Lek Chaiya has received many awards and recognitions over the 40 years of her outstanding contributions to the Authentic Thai Traditional Healing Arts. And now she has been appointed Lecturer of Thai Massage by the Project of Rehabilitation for Thai Masseurs), Foundation of Health Development and Staff in Bangkok. (If you go to Thailand and are interested in taking Mama Lek's classes in traditional Thai massage using herbs and Nerve-Touch healing, please visit her site at: www.nervetouch.com)
