🌿 LET'S TALK ABOUT METTĀ — THE +1 IN MY MASSAGE 🌿
Yesterday I shared Helen's lovely review about her experience of Thai Solution Massage and the relief she experienced from sciatica.
But there was another part of her review that meant just as much to me:
“Nang is very empathetic, understanding and keen to help resolve issues. Her manner is considerate and kind.”
These words touched me because they describe something that is very important to the way I practise massage — Mettā. 💚
I am Buddhist, and Mettā — loving-kindness — together with Karuṇā — compassion — is central to Buddhist philosophy and to the way I try to live my life. It is also an important part of the Thai Solution Massage tradition in which I have trained.
My training is based around Nuad Benja Phakhi 4 System +1. The four systems describe the physical areas we work with — muscles and tendons, fascia, the nervous system, and joints and mobility.
But then there is the +1: the Spirit of the Healer. For me, that is Mettā.
Massage isn't only about knowing where to press, which technique to use or which part of the body needs attention.
There is a person beneath my hands.
Someone may come to me in pain, worried about something that has been troubling them for months or years, or simply exhausted from everything life is asking of them.
I want that person to feel heard, respected and cared for, as well as receiving the best treatment I can give them. So when Helen described me as empathetic, understanding, considerate and kind, it meant something very special.
She was describing Mettā without even knowing its name.
And perhaps that is the simplest way I can explain the +1.
💚 Thai Solution Massage — treating the person, not just the pain.
