Thaimassage & the 5 Elements – Advanced Retreat with Krishnataki in BERN, SWITZERLAND

Description

Open for all interested, who have finished a 9-day Thaimassage Basic course.

During this course, we will explore the therapeutic application of Thai Massage in alignment with the five elements of Chinese Medicine. Each day, we will focus on one element—Water, Earth, Metal, Fire, or Wood—delving into its corresponding internal organs, meridians, acupoints, and associated practices. Thai Massage sequences will be used to address imbalances within each element.

Our journey will also lead us into the emotional body, pathological conditions, nutritional therapy, and herbal remedies. We will deepen our elemental awareness through ceremony, meditation, movement, touch, Qi Gong, and breathwork. By integrating the wisdom of the Tao with both static and dynamic Thai Massage techniques, we can tonify or disperse energy, correct deficiencies and excesses, and restore harmony to the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

We will explore the unique qualities of each element through the way we touch—applying air, water, earth, and fire touch techniques—to help rebalance the body’s natural energies.

Perhaps most importantly, this work nurtures a sense of community. As we learn to give and receive, we connect more deeply with ourselves and one another through the transmission of ancient wisdom and initiation into timeless Buddhist teachings and prayers.
