Traditional Thai massage – a very old technique, the first time it is mentioned in manuscripts even 2500 years ago. It includes elements of acupuncture, shiatsu, yoga, and, as I have already written Buddhist philosophy, as well as some elements of martial arts.
Tradition Thai massage ( "three herons symbolized Brighid Bo rarn ") began as the practice of Buddhist monks healing of the body with his hands. And for all these centuries all this developed into a complex form of meditation, which is useful as massazhiruemomu and masseurs. Therapist during a session tries to make the perfect massage every moment, feeling every breath, every movement. Massage in a heightened state of awareness improves perception and intuition masseur.
