Thai Massage and Spirituality

Physical, emotional, and mental healing practices have always had a close connection with spirituality and religion. This doesn’t only count for Thai Massage, but basically for all traditional healing arts.

Traditional Thai Massage in Thailand emerged within a religious context, adopting Buddhist and spiritual animistic principles, which is of importance for the practice until today.

Although we can learn and practice Thai Massage without spiritual connotations, a thorough understanding of the healing power of Thai Massage can only come about if devotional, religious, and spiritual aspects are taken into account.

In this book, we explore what spiritual, philosophical and religious practices have influenced or still influence Thai Massage, and how those practices have been materialized in the Thai Massage healing art as we know it today.

Note that this book aims at providing you with a conceptual understanding of the topic and is not a training course.
