Abdominal Therapeutic massage training
What is Abdominal massage?
Abdominal Healing Massage is a technique that helps release stress and promote energy flow by directly massaging the navel and surrounding abdominal areas. The abdomen is where the body's most vital internal channels intersect with blood vessels, the nervous system, and lymphatic glands.
Often referred to as "the second brain," the abdomen has its own intelligence due to the thousands of neurons lining the gut and the incredibly populous gut microbiota. Not only is it the center of digestion, where nutrients are absorbed and waste is processed, but it also acts as a storehouse for emotions. Tensions, anxiety, and other emotions can affect the functioning of the digestive system and internal organs, leading to weakened energy flow.
Abdominal Healing Massage can significantly help release negative emotions that can harm your well-being. The massage works on both physical and spiritual planes: physically, by detoxifying your internal organs, and spiritually, by releasing energy blockages and unexpressed emotions.

Abdominal massage Level 1
Abdominal Healing Massage
Abdominal Healing Massage is a technique that helps release stress and promote energy flow by directly massaging the navel and surrounding abdominal areas. It is a technique that helps to normalize the natural flow of energy in the abdominal area by applying pressure to the area where the energy is stuck and releasing the nerve knots.
Your belly is the area where the most important body’s internal channels cross paths with blood vessels, nervous system, and lymphatic glands. Often called “the second brain,” your belly has its own intelligence due to thousands of neurons lining the gut. Not only does it digest food, absorb nutrients, and process the waste, it also acts as a storehouse for your emotions. Any tensions, anxiety, and other emotions you experience affect the functioning of the digestive system and internal organs and as a result, your energy flow becomes weaker.
Abdominal Healing Massage can help tremendously with the release of negative emotions that can cause serious damage to one's well-being. The massage works on both planes: physical, by providing a detox of your internal organs, and spiritual, by transmitting the energy blockages and stuck, unexpressed emotions.

How is Waree’s massage classes like?
In very massage courses we also talk about:
Massage practice
Learn how to observe the body
by interviewing, observing the receiver's movements, pulse detection and symptoms diagnosis of the patients before performing the massage.
This should help the masseur to plan the treatment and massage techniques that are compatible with the symptoms. Each person who comes for massage will potentially have a different treatment even if their symptoms are similar to other cases.
Therapist may need to give some advice on how to treat their symptoms shown by other methods than what they propose, or to consult a more skilled colleague.
Above all, we should also have an attitude to work with morality and ethics at the same time.
As Organs are all connected in the same system, the elements are an illustration of the relationship and balance within the body
It is believed the illnesses create and feed upon unbalance.
Yet, losing the balance of elements in the body also affected by seasons, ages, time, place of residence, certain behaviors, and specific elements of each person.
Unbalance if not properly identified, can lead to illness.
So, we will focus on balancing the body by using traditional Thai medicine such as massage, sauna and herbal medicines combined with behavioral moderation to help to balance the physical and mental health.
It is useful to be able to borrow and combine techniques from both common massage and from the more encoded Royal Thai Massage.
• Chaloeisak or common massage relies on the general knowledge, experience and creativity of the practitioner. There are much less formalities or rituals in the treatment. It is also common use beside the fingers, the knees, feet, or elbows.
• Royal Thai Massage is a form of massage inherited from the palace and high ranking officials in the past. Only fingers and palms can be uses.
The masseuse must be strictly mannered and be focusing on specific points (acupuncture) of each part on the body in order to improve circulation.
Massage techniques
We will focus on the treatment of each of 15 classic symptoms, combined with a more generally relaxing massage in order to balance both the physical and mental effects of the patients.
It is a chance to work on your own symptoms. You could also bring a person to the course for you to work on under the teacher's supervision.
Learn to give advice to a receivers.
Illnesses that have accumulated for a long time, often can not immediately find a solution. Often, a series of treatments is needed.
As much as possible, patients need to change the behaviors causing or feeding the illness and need to properly take care of themselves too. It becomes important to be able to advise specific exercises for those illnesses or symptoms, it is part of the treatment and promote better results.

Be calm and observe your own expectations.
We will practice an important principle in Thai massage therapy:
Should not be impatient, should not set too many expectations.
We are empty-handed doctors. We are here to observe and encourage the beautiful self-maintenance mechanism that is each person's body.
