so, nobody wants to ask me about my smiling declaration of love …; that’s fine, I keep on saying it early in the morning, with excellent results – peace of mind, good mood, trust in life and in the destiny’s decisions …
on the other hand, one more school I went to, the class for beginners at Sunshine massage school, the only school managed by a Westerner. It is here that one of the few Westerners (maybe the only one) considered to be a master in Nuad, known on his Buddhist name Asokananda, taught. Unfortunately, a few years ago he passed in another dimensions.
the school is nice, more appropriate for Westerners, with a 10 days schedule for beginners. Concerning the movements, these are very close to ITM, with a few characteristics. My instructor was brought up in Bangkok, in an official school, under the patronage of the government. At an official level, according to my instructor’s sayings, they try a synthesizing of knowledge in the field of Nuad and its harmonization with the accomplishments in the Western world. It’s hard to say if it’s good or not, time will decide.
and, not to waste time, today I started to train with Mr. Poo, the guy who “tortured” me most during a massage class. As the saying goes, you have to know the movements of the “enemy” to be able to win… The first day was fine, I sat on my knees directly on the wooden floor, half an hour in the morning and another half in the afternoon, sang Buddhist hymns, learnt how to prepare the lotus flowers for the homage devoted to the Master and other divinities; the thing with the flowers is very scrupulous and takes more than half an hour to fold the lotus petals circularly, in three movements until you get in the middle of the flower…
the idea is that, by analyzing the conformation of the fingers and the toes, you can say quite precisely, what are the problems the respective person is suffering with and how old they are – pains in the back, legs, neck, head, etc.
in the near future I’ll try to summarize some of my conclusions and the feelings related to Nuad, resulted from my experience until now……
