DISCOVER THE HEALING ART OF A THAI YOGA MASSAGE

I am honoured to invite you to experience the healing art of Thai Yoga Massage, which is an ancient and sacred system of therapeutic healing with roots in Yoga, Ayurvedic Medicine and Buddhist spiritual practice. It is a unique and powerful system of Yoga Therapy, which combines rhythmic massage, acu-pressure, asanas (Yogic stretching exercises), gentle twisting, energy work and meditation.


I went to learn and studied this healing art directly from the great Master Kam Thye Chow in his Center Lotus Palm School in Canada (Montreal). ‘Lotus Palm’ means “the compassionate touch” which is the spirit of the school.






Thai Yoga Massage stimulates and balances the flow of healing energy within the body, opening the areas which are blocked bringing the person deeper into balance and harmony for health, happiness and wellness of being. This system creates a powerful release of stress and tension, an increase in vitality and well-being and it deepens the connection between mind, body and spirit in both the giver and receiver.


Thai Yoga Massage is performed on a mat on the floor. Both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement and flexibility (loose clothes, the ones you would use for a yoga session).
Every massage is tailored to your needs and can help alleviate many kinds of aches and pains including problems with back, shoulders, neck, hips, legs, headaches, and much more. The Thai Yoga Massage is the best therapeutic massage/bodywork treatment available for chronic pain and sports injuries. It is an outstanding way to help promote total relaxation and stress reduction. Working on the physical body is then the way to reach our more subtle life forces, our emotions, our mind.


You are welcome to experience one of the best things you can do for your body, mind and soul! When I first recieved  this healing art therapy from one of the teachers of the school I  went into a Yoga Nidra State where time and space disapeared and the healig took place in a deep level. I want to share this with everybody.
I will guide you through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy ("Sen") lines and pressures points. Together these actions result in a comprehensive full body treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically.

I will attune myself with a meditative plane, enabling the channeling of superior forms of energy to come through you, and transmit the healing effects. That’s why in the years I could integrate well my yoga practice and the practice of massage, that is now part of my yoga sadhana. Giving a massage is to me a good meditation, a beautiful way to go beyond thoughts, and every time I learn something new.


Thai Yoga Massage is the physical application of metta, loving kindness. (You will may be ask yourself where is the metta of your masseur when you are occasionally feeling pain during the treatment….but some blockages in the energy lines can sometimes cause what in Thailand they call “good pain”, a very momentary discomfort that will reward you with more lasting well-being ).
Lots of Metta
May all beings be happy!

CONSCIOUS YOGA DANCE


CONSCIOUS YOGA DANCE: YOGA & DANCE INTIMATE CONNECTION

The way we move and the way we walk says very much about us, we radiate externally how we feel internally. Movement define who you are.

Dance impulse has been evident since prehistorically times. I would say that Dance is an impulse that begins with life itself.

Yoga is a divine science of life, revealed to enlightened sages in Meditation. Stone seals in the Indus Valley which date back to around 3000BC show Yoga postures (asanas).

Dance can be found also in recognizable forms in the movements of birds and the rest of animal kingdom.

Many of the Yoga asanas have animal names, such as the fish posture and the cobra posture. This is because yogis devised their asanas partly by observing how animal instincts work in the wild.

These two arts and disciplines were intimately united in the ancient past. Today, this direct link of yoga and the arts of dance appear to be lost. Nevertheless, dance continue to be potentially highly spiritual arts, even if in the actual existing practice there is almost no evidence of that yogic link.

Dance is par excellence; it is a devotional activity that purifies, as does yoga. We work constantly with the invisible forces “subtle energy”, transforming the contrast of duality into unity. As in Hatha yoga, one begins with the basics of body mechanics and gradually moves towards the subtler aspects of the art. Conscious Yoga dance is a sublimity of action, penetrating the sacred space entering your body and space with spiritual comprehensive awareness. It is a meeting of two great sacred expressions, Yoga and Dance, both forms are interconnected and coming from an infinite source of Oneness.

The ancestral discipline of yoga, the conscious breathing and the art of dance together create the proper atmosphere and confidence and give pass to give freedom in the expression, connecting with our inner being and the Oneness.

The exploration of the connexion of Yoga and Dance has enriched my life, moving with awareness and dancing my own dance connecting with the whole.

My calling is to bring you to a Sanctuary of natural flow, relax and harmony wich is your true nature and support you in the realization of your magnificence. Consciouss Yoga Dance is way to connect with who you really are. Come join me in this journey.

Conscious Yoga dance is an experimental process that is in a constant state of evolution, so is Life. Within the circle of eternal change we make choices. I choose Dance. I choose Life

MANTRA OM

A Mantra is a mystical energy encased in a sound structure. Every mantra contains within its vibration a certain power. Upon concentration and repetition of a given mantra, its energy is liberated and takes form. The Universal Sound “OM” is shared by many religions including , Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains. In Hinduism, Om is the most sacred of sounds with meaning and frequency that have energy of their own. The monosyllable came to represent the ultimate One, which is eternally unchanging immutable” or “imperishable. In the Bhagavad-Gîtâ (10.25), Krishna says: “Of utterances I am the single syllable.”

At least 2000 years after the sacred syllable OM was discovered by the Vedic seers (rishis), there was an anonymous sage who composed the brief Mândûkya-Upanishad who utilized this ancient mantra to expound the metaphysics of Advaita Vedânta. Thus he explained the three constituent parts (mâtrâ) of the syllable—namely a + u + m—as symbolizing past, present, and future, as well as waking, dreaming, and deep sleep also earth, atmosphere and Heaven. He spoke of a fourth part that transcends the other three and concluded his esoteric observations with the statement that om is the Self (âtman), saying, “He who knows this enters the Self with the self—indeed, he who knows this!”

By chanting the Divine mantra OM with your heart open and devotion, and mind alert you´ll feel the vibration throughout your body and notice how it transforms your state of being. The vibration frequency of the mantra becomes the identity of one's consciousness. There is no difference between the two. The vibration of one's consciousness is the same as the vibration of the mantra

SUCCESSFUL YOGA PRACTICE AND RELATIONSHIPS


Success in your yoga practice does not come by how many repetitions you do or how far or how deeply you can force yourself into those "uncomfortable positions" which often leads to frustration.



Success in yoga comes by learning how to be "present" when you practice. You learn to enjoy and respect your body for where it is at the moment and not where you wish it could, or should be and when you don´t try make your body respond as it did when you were younger. Success in Yoga Practice is when you are in the NOW accepting what it is as it is.

With a successful yoga practice, you don't need to be anything, such as flexible or strong or even healthy. You just need to pay attention to "the way things are" and just do it. You learn how to move through life without forcing anything, and as you move forward, you will experience the pure joy of the moment as you move toward balance of body, mind and spirit and your awareness and control increases, both physically and emotionally.

Success and joy in relationships comes not through force or manipulation, but from paying attention to your partner or friend or person you are interacting with and by enjoying their very perfection.

Yoga, can have a deep effect upon your body, emotions, and diet and also can offer you help and insight into your relationships by paying proper attention to the people around you.

You can guide or direct your life and relationships, without forcing anything; just as you learn in your yoga practice. As you pay attention to the "perfection" of your body, likewise, you learn to pay attention to the "perfection" of others and you become increasingly aware or your relationships, taking personal responsibility and being positive and creating loving connections.

THE AMA DEUS HEALING METHOD





AMA DEUS energy healing method  is part of the Guarani Indians culture, natives of the Amazon in South America. The Ama-Deus healing system is a means of tapping into God’s healing love and using that energy to heal.

The Guarani have been using this way of healing for thousands of years. It is rooted in their belief that there is no "illness." In their view, everything is spirit, and outside forces cause imbalance. If the outside force or unwanted spirit or energy is removed; then the effect upon the physical body will be released and balance will be restored. To achieve healings, the Guarani applied a knowledge of working with energy, knowing that the power was coming from a single greater Force.

The Indians word for God and love were interchangeable. It was the Love that was the Power, and they were the "channelers" or the transmitters of this healing energy. The term Ama-Deus itself means “God Loves”. It has Latin roots, coming through the Portuguese language, as this is the most common language spoken in Brazil. The Guarani words for Love and God are interchangeable, indicating that God is Love


In the recent past, the Guarani passed this healing energy on to a Brazilian man, Alberto Aguas , initiating him in their ancient ceremony and teaching him the sacred symbols that activate connection to the energy. Alberto studied healing with the Guarani for 8 years. The Indians recognized Alberto as a man of love and integrity, and a great channeler of energy. With the Indians' approval, Alberto began teaching their way of using Energy in a classroom setting for the last ten years of his life until his passing in 1992and after. It is because of him that the world is learning about Ama-Deus, and it is no longer practiced only by the Guarani tribe.

 
Elizabeth Cosmos,PhD was initiated into the knowledge of the Ama Deus method by Alberto Aguas in 1989. For the next three years she worked closely with Aguas, her teacher and friend. After he passed, Beth Cosmos continued healing and teaching in the manner Aguas learned from the Guarani.


I had the honor of being initiated by Elizabeth Cosmos on Februay 2008 after training of the two levels in which it consists, The Ama–Deus® method as taught by Alberto Aguas, in the manner he learned from the Guarani. I have been certified to acknowledge my ability to receive and channel this high-level energy by a ceremonial invocation that connects one to the flow of Ama Deus energy.

Universal love is the power, and I am simple channel using compassion to help others and to help alleviate suffering, I engage myself in a healing relationship that by its very intention speaks of Love. Without Love there can be no healing.

There are many energy healing systems available, such as Reiki. I am also a Reiki practitioner but I use Ama Deus almost exclusively in my practice since for me, with each calling and contact with the Ama Deus energy I feel another dimension unfolding or opening.  While there are many techniques and systems of healing energies, there is only One Source, so no matter what you call the healing energy , these healing practices are tapping into the healing energies of the source of life. Thus there is only one Healer. No person heals another person as all healing is self-healing. Energy techniques are tools to aid and support in the healing process. There is real depth to this energy and with it I feel the ancient, rooted and connected to mysteries that we in the western world have closed ourselves off from. I feel instantly not alone.

The gift of this energy is, for me, somehow the re-connection with The Source. That I can use this to send love and healing to others makes the gift of Ama Deus energy precious beyond imagination. I am deeply grateful to have the honor of being  a Channel of healing energy and  help others  to understand, recognize and changing what needs to be changed in order to self examination and emotional release. 

LOVE is the force that holds the Universe together. Love is the act that brings hearts to the truth. Love is the act of offering freedom to all souls to be what they already are.
