SEN SUMANA - THE CENTRAL ENGERY LINE

Saturday, 18th October, 13.00 - 18.00 

​

Thai Massage is based on 10 main energy lines, out of which “Sen Sumana” is known as the central line of the body and directly linked to the “Sushumna Nadi” from the Yoga tradition.

In this workshop you will receive a beautiful, well rounded sequence throughout the entire body, which goal is to balance Sen Sumana – the central line of the body.

The techniques chosen have their origin in Thai Massage and are influenced by Osteopathy and Craniosacral Therapy.

​

ABOUT THE ENERGY LINES: 
As we talk about energy lines, we are dealing with invisible currents that can be felt and experienced, but cannot be found by dissection anywhere in the body. Any attempt to draw these lines is simply creating a concept, something static out of a living and moving flow. That is helpful for teaching purposes and to illustrate the idea, but no line chart will ever get close to explaining the reality of prana.

So, energy work cannot really be learned from charts, but they are a starting point that allows the intuition for line work to arise. As soon as that has happened, the therapist will simply follow his/her hands, his/her feelings and know what is right for the particular patient.

The sen meridians (from Thai Massage) or prana nadis (from Yoga tradtition) could be explained as rivers of energy, with the major and minor chakras or energy centers being something like whirlpools in the river. The

seven major chakras are situated along the centerline or Sen Sumana, while minor chakras are all over the body.

 

 

ABOUT SEN SUMANA
Sen Sumana is the central line of the body and is practically identical to Sushumna Nadi from the Indian ayurvedic system. It is often known as the universal line. Its major quality is that it passes through the seven major chakras. In this way it touches all that one is and all that one has the potential to be.

In a therapeutic approach, working on Sen Sumana can have a positive effect in case of Respiratory Complains (Asthma, Bronchitis, chest pain, spasm of the diaphragm), Heart diseases (physical

and emotional), Disease of the digestive system (nausea, abdominal pain), cold, cough, throat problems, back pain and Charka imbalances.
