Bodywork in Thailand is passed down in the family and is considered a necessity for wellness, as a regular thing which family members can offer one another. Our culture is less touch based and doesn't see massage as an essential for feeling good all the time. We go get a massage when we are in pain. What if more people knew how to do bodywork and we had the time and energy to exchange it? I dream of a world like that. What if more people could receive bodywork as a way of staying well, not just to fix something? It not only improves your health and reduces pain, it puts you in a better mood to get a massage. You find your softness, ease and gentleness in approaching the world. You are able to embrace life with a smile and flow more.
A bodywork session is an excavation into the self because our body has messages for us. When I receive a session, I realize places that are tight or have stuck energy that I didn't even realize. Once we relax, we open up to really feeling what is going on. Then we can ask questions like "When did this sensation or pain first occur?"
"What does my body require of me to feel better?" Every sensation and pain in our body has an emotional component as well as an energetic and physical component. We can ask a place in our body “ What is the emotion associated with this?” From there, we may be able to acknowledge and then release the emotion and thus the tightness, pain or sensation in our body and feel freer. It is my sense energy flow and emotional flow all contribute to our body's well being. Thai bodywork unblocks meridians ( lines one energy) that run through the body. Thai bodywork is a collaboration between the recipient and their body and the work of the practitioner. Of course, it doesn't have to be hard work. It can be relaxing and relieving to simply receive.
Bodywork seems to help us get in touch with the emotions and the body, our inner self, especially if we inquire within. After you get a session, you can journal and ask yourself what your body needs, when did you first feel this something in your body, and what is the cause of it? What does your body need to be at feeling its best? You may get images or messages while you are receiving.
Bodywork puts me in an expanded, multidimensional state where I can access information beyond the usual realm as I am tuned inward. It shifts me to feeling better and more awareness. Awareness about our emotions and bodies is what we need to be healthy. A basis for this awareness is touch. Let's create a safe touch based culture of giving and receiving. Every person deserves the tender caring that is through bodywork and massage.
