ThaiHealingMassage
ThaiHealingMassage is based on the Asian family of body work which includes Thai Massage (Thailand), Shiatsu (Japan), Tui Na (China), and Yoga Therapy (India).
.
All those systems are based on the concept that there is not only a physical body with bones, muscles, nerves and blood circulation, but also a subtle energy which is the actual support basis for the physical body. This energy is called ‘Lom’ (Thailand), ‘Ki’ (Japan), ‘Qi‘ (China), and ‘Prana’ (India).
.
.
There is no English equivalent, but it can be translated as ‘life energy’. This energy runs in channels which are called ‘Sen’ (Thai Massage), ‘Meridian’ (Japanese Shiatsu), or ‘Nadi’ (Indian Yoga).
Western Medicine does not recognize this energy, but healing methods which are based on this energy have been successfully used for literally thousands of years in Thailand, China or India up to the present day to treat and, more importantly, prevent diseases.
There are countless success stories, and the effectiveness of these healing methods is beyond doubt for millions of people.
Shama has developed ThaiHealingMassage as a system of bodywork which effectively combines Thai Massage with elements of Shiatsu, Breema, Tui Na, yoga and energy work.
.
The body has a need for movement which is largely stifled in western society with our sedentary habits. If muscles are underused or overused they stiffen and shorten, resulting in restricted movement, tightness and pain.
This then results in restricted joint movement, limited spinal flexibility, a lowered immune system, and ultimately disease. Combined with stressful lifestyles, inadequate breathing and inability to deeply relax, the consequence is a long list of symptoms which plague humanity.

ThaiHealingMassage addresses all those areas with regular application:
* The entire body is put through ranges of motions which sometimes resemble passive yoga postures.
* Muscles are being warmed, relaxed, stretched and massaged.
* Blockages are opened and energy flows freely again.
* Flexibility is being restored through stretching.
* Deep relaxation occurs in the body
* Breathing becomes deeper and relaxed
* The body gradually restores its potential range of motion and spinal flexibility
* Muscle tone becomes relaxed, painful tension vanishes, and stiffness disappears
* A deep and profound feeling of well being is experienced
* Life energy circulates naturally again and allows healing on many levels to occur
* The body becomes more resistant to injuries and disease, and energy levels increase

How is ThaiHealingMassage performed?
It is performed on a mat on the floor. The recipient is fully dressed and no oil is used. Minimum length for an effective session is two hours. The Therapist moves with the recipient in a gentle, flowing way which almost resembles a beautiful dance.
.
The tools of the therapist are thumbs, hands, elbows, forearms, knees, and feet. Movements consist of stretching, rocking, pressing, massaging, and holding.

Applications of ThaiHealingMassage
The treatment can either be a general relaxing massage or a very specific therapeutic application on shoulders, hips, legs, neck, or back.
Shama always ends his sessions with part of his Heavenly Head Massage, a truly heavenly way to enter deep relaxation. The recipient can specify the level or intensity of the treatment and the exact area where work is most needed.

“By far the most beautiful massage I’ve had. Shama has incredible focus and presence, and easily detected problem areas in my body. At the end of the massage I felt wonderfully stretched and very peaceful and energized. I experienced a powerful transfer of energy at the end of the session. A truly sensual and blissful experience – fantastic!”
