Sticky Rice Institute of Massage

This two-day workshop is the first of a two course series, where we will explore, experience and discuss the essence of Thai Massage, the work on the Energy Lines. Each of the ten lines worked in Thai Massage represents a different quality which can be perceived by receiving work on the line or by working on the line (as a therapist). In this course we will trace and work on two specific lines (one responsible for comunicating the male and female aspect, and another related to the existential aspect of our energy system). Afterwards, we will discuss the experience as perceived both by the receiver and the giver. Contrary to a “normal” treatment where we aim for balance, in these courses we will amplify the work on specific lines to increase the specific aspect. This might lead to feelings of unbalance during the course but balance should be re-gained after completion.
This workshop will focus on Sen Ittha / Sen Pingkhala, representing the Sun and the Moon, Male and Female, the Active and Creative Energy on one day, and Sen Sumana, often associated as the Spiritual Line symbolizing Existence beyond the world of form, on the other.

This course is offered to advanced students and practitioners, regardless of their previous background. You will receive a certificate of tuition after the completion of the course.
