Why YESHE?

Although Nuad Borad has always been a healing tradition rooted in buddhist teachings, in the 2nd half of XX century has been often tought as a mere set of techniques under a general name called “Thai Massage”.
Also, although the Jivaka Kumara Baccha tradition dates back to a realized master from India, it has been thought within Thai buddhist tradition, very connected to local customs and habits.

Since several decades in Europe, we have been observing a tremendous growth of awarness of how the mind functions. Various psychological researches point out that body is rather a representation of mind and its shape is strongly influenced by mind states. From this point of view, massage stops being a mere body-technique and becomes a tool that helps to release tensions and therefore experience the mind in a relaxed state. According to the buddhist teachings, the true nature of mind is openess and happyness without limitation. It is also full of “Yeshe” which is an intuitive wisdom, which we all experience in moments when we forget about fixed ideas and expectations.

YESHE NUAD brings together the techniques of the antient massage and buddhist mind teachings. It helps the therapists, clients and workshop participants to be more easy-going and joyfull in all kinds of life situations, and to experience that their mind is naturally beautifull.
