〜 Understand healing in a deeper sense, and bring it into your treatment. 〜
Chiharu will guide you through essential physiological and philosophical concepts
which underpin Western knowledge with Eastern wisdom.
This 2-day course, aims to switch off the head and open the door of the heart.
It is a holistic approach to Thai Massage & Osteothai through which you can deepen your treatment practice.
Rather than focusing on only muscles and bones using your head, by being more mindful in your touch,
based on understanding of what “we are” and how the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) responds to the touch,
you can offer your clients richer and more therapeutic treatments.

The two days in more detail are as follows: Day 1: The Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is deeply connected in constantly moving our internal organs and blood, tensing and relaxing our body (and a lot more than that!). Hence, a physiological understanding of how to work with the ANS is of great importance for bodyworkers. We will practise specific ways of working with an awareness of the ANS. Topics covered in the first day will include: - The ANS, Fight and flight, Rest and digest - How the ANS responds to your touch and mindset. - Location of accessing sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system - Use of yoga therapy & biofeedback in relation to touch Day 2: Pancha Kosha On the second day, we will explore the ancient Indian wisdom of Pancha Kosha to help us realise the essence of our self. By being conscious of the interaction and resonance that occurs in deeper dimensions, we will seek to enhance the quality of our touch and presence. We will practise visualisation techniques and subtle approaches to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, through which you will be able to work more effectively and at a deeper level. Through these two days, we will learn the relationship between the ANS and Pancha Kosha and will “touch” the essence of healing. This course will bring a holistic depth to your treatment practice for your clients, as well as create a fuller sense of connection to your self and others around you. This training is open to Thai massage practitioners who want to deepen their practice, as well as other body-workers and massage therapists who want to incorporate these techniques and philosophical concepts into their repertoire. |
