mixing mindfulness + metta

Thai Yoga Massage is seen not just as a mere job, but as a physical application of loving kindness, and there is no doubt that a kind pair of hands can soothe away stresses and strain and help us to feel more connected.

The word Metta is a pali word which means ‘loving kindness’. There is a vast amount of research about the benefits of self compassion, mindfulness and loving kindness practices and how focussing on others increases our own happiness. There’s a zen that says, ‘kindness is the fruition of awareness, and awareness is the foundation of kindness’ from The Lives of Others – and who could argue with that?

There’s no doubt that when times are tough, a kind word, deed or touch helps to make us feel better and loving kindness meditation is all about connection and it’s connection that often makes us feel better and less isolated.

My work as a complimentary therapist at the Royal Free Hospital has displayed this to me so powerfully; and I don’t use that word lightly; but the healing benefits of touch are beyond measurable.

My upcoming workshop exploring mindfulness and the art of Thai yoga massage will offer you an opportunity to experience and develop your mindful practices, offer you hands-on practical techniques to add into your teaching (if you’re  a teacher) or to practice with your family and friends if you would like to learn more about this amazing ancient art.
