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.)

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.
A Christ-Centered Therapeutic Art and Science developed for the benefit of humanity—the practical expression of loving kindness addressing the issues of pain and suffering.

SomaVeda® incorporates mindfulness, gentle rocking, deep, slow stretching, and rhythmic compression to create a singular healing experience.

SomaVeda® Certified and Authorized Practitioners and Therapists (Medicine Persons) determine the best treatment strategy after intake based on traditional Vedic and Western biologic assessments.

Every session and component of the SomaVeda® Therapeutic Day program is unique and different. Think of the program as not just a treatment but a journey of discovery into the possibilities of healing based on this traditional therapeutic model.

WHAT IS THAI MASSAGE
We offer Traditional Thai Massage/ Thai yoga certifications and Thai Yoga and Thai massage continuing education (C.E.U.s)classes /credits, often blended and called Thai yoga massage in Florida and other states. This combination of skills has become the SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Practitioner Certification program at the Thai Yoga Center in Brooksville, Florida. Our education is geared toward teaching students the proper skills for a long career in healing therapies as well as helping seasoned practitioners by offering both traditional and bio-mechanically correct ways to
do their work.
SomaVeda® Thai Yoga is sophisticated, elegant, and at the same time, intensive practice,
however, the rewards are dramatic and enormous.
Most healing practitioners and massage professionals find this way of working based on a well-developed and ancient practice to be as healthy for themselves as their clients.
Students themselves find positive and beneficial changes happening to their bodies during and after course completion!
It is not unusual for students enrolled in SomaVeda® style traditional Thai Yoga massage courses to experience an increased range of motion, breakthroughs in dealing with emotional issues, and weight loss!
The training is intense and focused on our primary outcomes, which are to prepare you to be able to start or add a productive, profitable practice the next day after you graduate! SomaVeda® Thai Yoga programs are professional and competency-based. We take the time necessary to give you, the practitioner, the concrete foundations to be successful and safe. Unlike other programs which seem to follow the “Tourist” or non-professional model…
If you are already a healthcare professional or Massage Therapist, for example… you will be amazed at the refinements and grace this work will bring to your practice. Additionally, it will likely reduce any occupational or repetitive stress type of occupational disorders you may already be experiencing. One of the several textbooks introduced in the SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Practitioner Certification program, “Ayurveda of Thailand,” was voted the best Ayurveda textbook of 2017 and received the Veda Vasya Award! SomaVeda® system is the modern iteration of several well-established original, genuine named Thai Medical Institutions, and Dr. Anthony B. James directs our school. Dr. James holds over five doctorates and is an award-winning Ajahn, Master Thai Medicine Teacher, and Professor of Thai Traditional Medicine and Yoga Therapy.

SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Certification programs are unique and offer more professional education and growth opportunities than any other similar program.

We offer five levels of certification and five different College degrees, from Associate to Doctorate and Ph.D., based on Thai Yoga Massage as a core modality. No one else offers this.

Adjunct Staff: I have graduated from the SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Teacher Certification program and have been taught personally by Aachan, Dr. Anthony B. James. Every adjunct teacher on staff has between one and fifteen years of in-class Thai Yoga teaching experience. We specialize in small classes and high-teacher ratios.

The most strict traditional Asana (Therapeutic Postures) and Vinyasa (Therapeutic Sequences) are taught. We have a happy balance of didactic, lecture, demonstration, and practice to bring you to the award-winning competencies and skill levels our graduates are known for.
Dr. Anthony B. James was the first western Thai Yoga Massage teacher to incorporate the concept of FLOW as a practice methodology into his certification programs in Thailand and the U.S. in the 80s. Of course, many try to copy our “flow” concept, but after 39 years of practice and refinement, we know how to do it correctly!
SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Therapy is more than technique!
