The second goal is to help those who want to delve seriously into the form of massage to practice, accurately understand, and master the techniques seen in demonstrations and courses at home. The two groups for whom the book was written are very different. However, the motivation that leads them to Thai massage is the same: massaging family members, friends, and fellow human beings with the intention of healing and helping. The techniques presented here, when applied with sufficient empathy, attention, caution, and love, have a healing and relaxing effect. The book guides the reader from technique to technique. The description of each technique details the technical steps of execution. It illustrates the movements, points, and lines of the techniques in photos and diagrams. It lists the conditions and diseases in the form of indications and contraindications, in which case it is worth or forbidden to perform a massage.
A 2-2.5-hour "general" Thai massage that moves the whole body can be put together from the repertoire described here. This is suitable for reworking a person's most important energy pathways, joints and main muscles, and at the same time forms a holistic unit. When performed correctly, it induces a calm, balanced state even in our most stressed fellow human beings.
