Luckily both you and I had the opportunity to do that. I hope I can convey these elements in my articles to those who cannot come here to experience it. The temple excursion is one of those examples - such things generally don't happen in the western world, but they are such an important part of the soul of Thai Massage.

Some of the actual positions can look very similar in yoga and Thai Massage. The execution is different since only one is active and the other is passive. But watching both styles, it is very obvious that they share common roots. Yes, that is the main distinction. Some of the actual positions can look very similar in yoga and Thai Massage.

Hi, Shama,

I teach different styles of yoga – hatha, shadow yoga, ashtanga, sometimes I introduce some elements of partner yoga in my classes, but in it would seem strange to me to use partner yoga elements in Thai massage for the reason you’ve mentioned in your article – in Thai massage your partner is passive, while in different styles of yoga the participants are active.

When I mildly reprimanded him he replied that he can behave only in two ways- either talk or sleep, the latter he had offered at the beginning of the session. As I wanted him to stay awake he kept on talking all the time. Now I know how to deal with him - let him talk.

For me massage has always been much more than a system of techniques. Massage without the energy component is really missing out on what you describe as a "magical connection." I actually created an entire video training course just about this subject: <a href="http://thaihealingmassage.com/info/magic-touch-secrets-for-massage/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Magic Touch Secrets For Massage</a> Phoenix, I feel the same way.

As a (stamped on the fore head) American, I've been cultured and conditioned to think (and worry) my way thru life. If the practitioner can not (maybe doesn't know how to) connect heart to heart with me, there is no way I would be able to relax and receive a multidimensional body treatment and come away saying THAT was truly wonderful! Being a Hands on Transformational Energy Healer, I've received several attempts of deeply meeting me where I reside inside, and am still looking for that magical connection that only the Heart's mystery can reveal when two or more are vibrating in unity... not just science & theory being massaged into/onto the body structure. It's STILL all about Energy!! (and intent). Dear Shama~ Personally, I could care less about ANYTHING scientific!
