So of course, those who know me from having received teachings from me during retreats or training via Tibetan Energetics will say “but what happens to her when she only swears by the Tibetan system? ".
So this is it. As some people know, I have some problems with my spine (retrolisthesis, disc herniation, stenosis, degeneration, etc. in several areas), and while we were in Thailand, I received a few massages. Immediately, I could see that there was something to explore as the results were very satisfactory in terms of pain relief.
A few months later, we returned to Thailand, this time for several months to train in Thai techniques. For my part, I immerse myself in the Nuad Bo'Rarn massage. One day, in a classroom, my gaze falls on a poster representing a set of drawings of yogis in postures that gives me the impression of seeing Tibetan yoga... I can't take my eyes off and I My mind is then obsessed with this practice which seems so close to what I practice in Tibetan yoga.
My research thus led me to integrate the world of this practice that is Ruesi Dat Ton yoga, the yoga at the origin of the practice of Nuad Bo'Rarn.
Integrating Ruesi Dat Ton was easy due to my habit of Tibetan yoga Kum Nyé which works on the release of pain through muscular engagement in slowness while positioning the mind in a specific meditative angle. The twists are similar to those performed in Tibetan Lu Jong yoga or the practice of Tsa Lung.
As David Wells says in his book: " Some techniques of Reusi Dat Ton are similar or almost identical to certain techniques of Tibetan yoga systems such as "Yantra Yoga" or "Kum Nyé yoga", and the positions are similar to those that we can see on the frescoes of the northern wall of the Lukhang, temple located at the foot of the Potala Palace in Lhasa ”.
He states, “ Some techniques in Reusi Dat Ton are similar or nearly identical to some techniques in Tibetan yoga systems which themselves include aspects of Indian Hatha Yoga as well as indigenous Bon Tibetan techniques which date back several thousand years.
For example, some self-massage techniques, exercises, poses, neuromuscular locks (bandhas in Sanskrit), breathing patterns, ratios, visualizations, and how male and female practitioners would practice the same technique differently are almost identical.
It is possible that Reusi Dat Ton and some Tibetan yoga systems derive from a common source, which they brought with them on their descent from the foothills of the Himalayas to Southeast Asia. There are also Reusi Dat Ton techniques that are quite unique and may have originated in Southeast Asia and were later assimilated into what became the Reusi Dat Ton system in Thailand. »
Hence my immediate and without hesitation attraction to this little-known, even unknown, practice because it was only transmitted within monasteries and families, only recently opening up to foreigners.
Voila, you now know the whole story, and I strongly invite you to discover these magnificent techniques that are thai massage Nuad Bo'Rarn and thaï yoga Ruesi Dat Ton.
