Powerful Work!

Last night went to check out the Sunday Walking Market. Lots of nice colors at the variety of vendors, street food, and rows and rows of chairs where practitioners where giving foot massages. I never seen so many people getting any kind of massage at one time. This area was packed. I wandered around for about a hour just to check things out. They are open to midnight.

Got a fantastic night sleep!!!

I had the great pleasure and treat to get one on one with the master teacher today. Working with her confirmed my gift of touch. We covered a lot of material today and will have my first exam on Wednesday. I am striving for an "A+" which is above 95. Several students who are in a group before me shared that they got 94's which is an "A", so we will see. I will stay present, breath, study, and practice. I do have willing subjects. Learning this modality has taken me to a whole other level. Her feedback was great and I learned so much. I am truly blessed to have come to this school. During a break I did some TuiNa on her, some Sensory Repatterning on a student teacher and just connected with some of the wonderful students.

In my 17 years of learning I have combined and blended a variety of modalities to make up my sessions. Now that I am really getting into this Thai Massage thing we will have to see which direction my work goes. I am really feeling the power of this amazing work and would say much of my training to date has prepared me for this portion of my journey.

I was observing an advance student practicing points which may be a little confusing for me with my background in Tuina for the number and name of the points seem to be different. If you have any feedback Skip or Rick I am open.
After working with my teacher today I am inspired to come back and do teacher training with her if she will accept me.

My body is changing. The weight is coming off much easier without much conscious effort. Left two pair of pants with my laundry lady today to take in (these were the smallest pants that I had before leaving the states, so it will definitely time for new clothes when or if ; ) I return to the states). I am eating healthier and most days I eat a vegetarian diet. Today's special at the restaurant I went to was stir fry Kale w/mushrooms and rice, absolutely delicious. I have not had any Thai food I do not like yet...even panang which the curry paste has ground peanuts which I have had issues with before now. I still asked for no peanuts on top but will eat the curry.

Game plan for the week two more days of Thai massage class then on Thursday and Friday going to my Jewelry making course, Herbal compress class on Saturday, Sunday go play with the Elephants all day then start level II Thai course.

Stay tuned!!!!!
