Details of Thai Massage
In essence, Thai massage involves being gently moved into yoga-like positions whilst lying down on a padded floor mat, fully clothed in loose fisherman pants and a top. Using hands and feet, the therapist follows energy lines in the body and applies pressure with rhythmic movements too. A 90-minute or 2-hour massage is highly recommended for a full-body treatment as an hour is just not long enough to feel the full benefit and enable the therapist to really get to work on every part of the body.
There is no doubt that to the uninitiated Thai massage can seem fairly strange and different compared to traditional Swedish massage, for example. However, to emerge from a wonderful Thai massage is to feel as if you have truly experienced another level of Thai culture and certainly a whole other depth of relaxation.
Mindful Rest
Lying down in a dimly-lit room, the very commitment to a massage is a way of surrendering to the here and now; of allowing your body and mind to flow as slow, methodical movements lull you into a restful, centred state. By disengaging from the hubbub around you and the sensory overload of life, taking a massage in Thailand gives you the space and time to let go of stresses and strains; a meditational therapy that guides you to experiencing the ‘now’ in a liberating way that resonates throughout your whole being. In this respect, TTM can be deeply transformative.
