Traditional Thai Yoga Therapy also known as Thai Traditional Massage is the fastest growing and most sought after healing modality in the world today. Of course, the best way to learn is in a live class with a Master Teacher or Thai “Ajahn” such as at the Thai Yoga Center in Brookesville, Florida studying with Aachan Dr. Anthony B. James and or his trained and certified SomaVeda® Thai Yoga staff Khruu or Teachers.
However, if you can’t make it to a live SomaVeda® Thai Yoga class either because of scheduling or cost the next best thing is to learn from the Master Teacher at Home!
Don’t waste your time on lessons from untrained and un-certified and or non-authentic teachers?
Come to a genuine source!
Hi everyone and good day!
I am continuing my current project of bringing you new and useful information and content to empower you to Jump Start Your Healing Practice. It’s not enough to just have a goody bag of useful “tricks” and “bits” of therapies to put together a successful healing practice. Degrees and Certifications are fine but in and of themselves do not lead one to a happy, successful and fulfilling life, a intrinsically successful, happy life.

It is good that our traditions have deep and ancient roots with elders and teachers who have lived the life of healers, traditional doctors and therapist for centuries, literally. They are our role models. We do not have to reinvent the wheel of success in what we do by ourselves. Only our current life situations and perhaps cultural considerations are unique. But what we are doing in life is not new or unique. We can learn from our elders and these lessons and qualities I am recommending you cultivate don’t originate with me personally but they are passed down to us by previous generations of healers who chose to practice true medicine as a way of life for their whole life!

NAIC Elders -Jibarro Borekin Taino Indigenous People Join Together
Over the weekend of September 28, 29 and 30th. 2018 Elders and Principle Medicine Men and Women or the Native American Indigenous Church (NAIC) of Brooksville Florida and The Borekin Nation of Jibarro Taino People of Puerto Rico met and formally agreed to mutual affiliation and solidarity. In consideration of the terrible toll on the PR indigenous people following hurricanes Maria and Irma, NAIC has volunteered to support both Medical and Educational missions in Lares, Puerto Rico. (https://todosunidosdescolonizarpr.blogspot.com/2018/10/school-and-hospital-of-natural-medicine.html)
In recognition of contributions and shared ceremony The Estado National Soberano De Borinken has officially adopted NAIC Chairman and Medicine Man Dr. Anthony B. James as a full fledged member of the Jibarro tribe effective September 30th. 2018. Dr. James has been issued all formal certificates of membership and the Estado Nacional Soberano De Borinken official passport and Tribal Medical License (Licensia para Ejercer la Medicina Indigena). http://todosunidosdescolonizarpr.blogspot.com/2018/10/no-one-gets-out-without-hug.html
Dr. James has agreed to bring his system of SomaVeda Integrated Traditional Therapies® Thai Yoga, Ayurveda and Religious Therapeutics to the Taino elders and community. The hope is to restore a complete and functional traditionally based, spiritually based healing and medicinal function to the greater Taino Borekin community restoring a function virtually lost during the colonial period of time. The Taino elders and medicine men and women are open to receiving education in Ayurveda and Thai Traditional Medicine! This is a first and of historical note.
This meeting and affiliation was held under the umbrella of SMOKH (Sacred Medical Order of the Knights of Hope/ Church of Hope)

SomaVeda® T.A.E.L.R.™ Tool Assisted Energy Line Release Protocol
Pronounced “Tayler,”… For thousands of years, the ancient Reishi physicians and Masters of Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy have relied on external tools to assist them in therapeutically managing energy disturbances to the Mind, Spirit, and Bodies of their patients and clients, their friends and family members. We continue this practical approach to healing and therapy today.
SomaVeda® T.A.E.L.R.™ is especially suitable For Trigger Point Syndromes caused by disruptions and or disturbances to energy lines.
The SomaVeda® T.A.E.L.R.™ tool set includes many traditional and modern innovative methodologies to bring harmony and correction for low oxygen significant traumatic and metabolic-induced disorders and syndromes. Reduction of Pain, increased range of motion, and reduced referral pains such as migraines and back pain may be substantial and immediate. Perfect for Sports and work-related injuries and dysfunction. Traditional SomaVeda® T.A.E.L.R.™/ I.A.S.T.M. (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) tools/ instruments include but are not limited to “Tok Sen, Dewy Mai Sen, Gua Sha (Thai Acupressure/ “Jap Sen Nuad, Tok Sen Nuad“), Cupping, Bamboo Stick, Roller, Whisk” etc.
We use all the traditional and modern tools: Wooden, Buffalo Horn, Jade, Plastic, and Stainless steel. T.A.E.L.R.™ Therapeuticians also use various styles of Hammers and Probes in the striking, vibration, and or striking techniques, which are also common.
Myalgia and Myalgia type syndromes (i.e., Fibromyalgia). Any pain associated with or located on an energy line (Meridian, Thai Sen Line, Prana Nadi, or related facia planes that follow or coincide with energy line locations.)
Connective Tissue Arthropathy (i.e., Tendonitis, Tennis Elbow, and the like)
Neuralgia and or Neuralgia type pain syndromes
General Tendinopathy ( impingements, Rotator Cuff tear or adhesion, Golfer’s Elbow, Tennis Elbow, Iliotibial band syndrome (I.T. Band Syndrome), Patellar tendonitis, Achilles tendinitis, Metatarsalgia, Bone Spurs, tendinosis, Shin Splints
Arthritis
Cellulite
Lymphatic Stasis and Interstitial Fluid Stasis. Chronic joint swelling associated with Sprains and Strains, Chronic Ankle Sprains
Ligament Strain injuries
Muscle Strain injuries
Non-Acute Bursitis
Chronic Inflammation, both general and localized.
Migraine Headaches
We are reducing Facial restrictions and Scar tissue, which interferes with healthy and productive functions, such as Post Surgical and Traumatic Scars.
R.S.D. (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy)
According to PHYSIOPEDIA, “Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation” or Simply I.A.S.T.M. is a new range of tools that enables clinicians to locate and treat individuals diagnosed with soft tissue dysfunction efficiently. The technique is said to be a modern evolution from Traditional Chinese Medicine called Gua Sha[1]. However, Gua Sha was not used to treating Musculoskeletal conditions but was traditionally applied along meridians to move the bad chi out through the skin. I.A.S.T.M. is a rapidly growing popular procedure due to its effectiveness and efficiency while remaining non-invasive, with its indications and limitations.”
However, Physiopedia, although correct, is incorrect to ascribe the use of tools in therapy exclusively to traditional Chinese Medicine! Using tools in medical treatment is first recorded in the classics of Indian and Thai Ayurveda … the Sushruta Samhita recorded Ayurvedic physicians using a great variety of instruments to supplement the use of their bare hands over four thousand years ago.
In our traditional indigenous way of thinking, we make no distinction separating the body into physical or energetic quanta. We see no clear difference: Fascial Planes, Energy Lines, and vice versa. Additionally, in the Western variations, there is little or no emphasis on the traditional Hammer and Probe technique, considered vital in our traditional Medicine.
This treatment strategy and protocol is helpful for therapists seeking to use their hands less as the primary tools or expression of their healing arts… Through the various instruments, one may do entire sessions and treatments Hands-Free!
Example of a SomaVeda® T.A.E.L.R. protocol for treating Plantar Fascitis
A derivative of the traditional oriental techniques becoming popular in Western medical psychopathy is “Graston®, Fascial Abrasion Technique®, etc.”
In this course, we introduce and explain all of the traditional tools used in T.A.E.L.R.™ practice and with live demonstration practice exchanges building application competencies. Students improve their understanding of indications, contraindications, and clinical applications for common conditions and issues through lecture and in-class learning environments. Additionally, students are introduced to the protocol as a form of Complimentary and Integrative Medicine Practice in the context of a modern Religious Therapeutic modality suitable for ministers of traditional medicine practice.
In the SomaVeda® T.A.E.L.R.™ Certification Course, the practitioner receives certification as a Certified SomaVeda® T.A.E.L.R.™ Technician.
