On May 16th at 11-12 in the morning we will be holding a Thai massage workshop in Ithica New York, coming back from 3 months in Thailand and training at Wat Po, or วัดพระเชตุพนวิมลมังคลารามราชวรมหาวิหาร, Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Rajwaramahawihan, bringing you techniques used for over a millennium for helping aspiring yogis push themselves in their practice farther by aiding in the recovery and minor attunements. At the workshop we will go over a basic Wat Kru ( paying respect to the teachers of the past) and then review the basic positions of Nuad Boran, นวดแผนโบราณ, as brought down to us historically by the doctor of Buddha, Jīvaka Komarabhācca (Shivago) and further carried on by King Ramas iii turning Wat Po into a temple dedicated to the Thai traditions or Buddhist medicine. DM for more details if interested.

While antibiotics can be lifesaving, indiscriminate use has serious health consequences. Children who were given antibiotics before the age of two are more likely to have a range of health conditions. Notability increases in allergies, asthma, food allergies, eczema, ADHD, autism, and celiac disease were significantly higher in children exposed to antibiotics. Age of antibiotic exposure, type of antibiotic, s*x, and number of antibiotic exposures all showed influence of the type and severity of these health conditions later in childhood. Interestingly, some antibiotics showed increased risk of autism and some showed a moderate protective effect.
We’re still learning about the interconnectedness of our microbiome and our health. As such, prudence should be exercised when prescribing antibiotics for early childhood illnesses.

Children younger than two who are given antibiotics are more likely to have a number of ongoing illnesses or conditions later in life, a new study finds.

In Fall 2019 we studied singing bowl therapy in Kathmandu. This healing modality is used for relaxation and stress relief. The course also included training on sound massage and hot water massage (the bowl is filled with warm water, it feels similar to hot stone massage). Lastly, we were introduced to a shamanic tradition of exercising negative energy using singing bowls according to the traditions of the instructor’s ancestors.
