What is Vitality?

Vitalology™ is the subject of study; a branch of knowledge, assessment, and practice of cultivating the state of being strong, active, and energetic by building vitality and health through specific wellness, lifestyle, nutrition, diet, energetics, and educational/informational programs. Vitalology™ is a wellness art and lifestyle for the 21st century.

Vitalology™ is the assessment and practice of cultivating the state of being strong, active, and energetic by building vitality and wellness through specific waters, lifestyle, nutrition, diet, energetics, sunlight, and educational/informational programs. Vitalology™ is a wellness art and lifestyle for the 21st century. It is not ‘medicine’ as defined as the diagnosis and treatment of a disease.

Our three vital nutrients are Sunlight, Oxygen, and Water. Food is the stored energy that makes life function and allows our bodies to work and think!

Any imbalance or deficiency of sunlight, air, water, and food will weaken the body and, in time, perish. The fundamental of our philosophy we call vitalology™.

Vitalists subscribe to the use of health-building foods, herbs, minerals, waters, flowers, seeds, barks, roots, and essential oils in their natural state, sunshine, fresh air, bathing, as well as exercise, meditation, sunbathing, prayer, dance, chirothesia, and other vitalistic arts.

All Services performed and consultations are private under NAIC Membership RPG exclusively. No services are offered to the public.

James MSc.(Clinical Herbology), DNM(C), ND(T), MD(AM), DOM(Acu), DPHC(h.c.), Ph.D. (IM), Ph.D. (Hospitaller Medicine h.c.), DMM, RAAP, UTTS, MSGR./CHEV., Ordained Native Monsignor Native Bishop, Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church of the East in Brazil, Dean, Professor, Director of Education and Traditional Medicine

Benefits of SomaVeda with Ajahn Dr. J

The 100 benefits of SomaVeda® Thai Yoga is the title of this article; however, as many of the benefits listed here contain more than one listed benefit? There are many more than a hundred! There are many times more than 1oo benefit. It matters not whether we separate them according to traditional, anecdotal, or scientifically verified or documented literature and studies…

What research and benefits I have collected must be a drop in the bucket! At best, they represent the easiest to find or most commonly observed. In actual practice, the list is endless and ever-growing. Such is the possibility of the vital contribution to the world’s health and well-being that this healing arts and its derivatives represent.

They are also known as Traditional Thai Medical Massage (Ryksaa Thang Nuad Phaen Boran Thai) or slang as “Thai Massage’. SomaVeda® Thai Yoga, as a sophisticated, elegant, evolving, traditional, and well-researched Indigenous System of Natural Medicine, has many benefits.

In today’s questioning and cynical world, it is essential to experience and share this practice’s documented traditional outcomes and benefits with its ancient roots. Developed for thousands of years in the old traditional Buddhist and Ayurveda healing centers of South Asia, Thailand, and Southeast Asia, Thai Traditional Medicine: Thai Traditional Massage and Thai Ayurveda continues to develop as an elegant, evolving internationally recognized traditional medicine.

The primary benefits traditionally were spiritual, psychological, and emotional. They are based on the concept of “Promiiwiihan Sii,” or Four Boundless/Unlimited States of Mind and Being: Love, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity. There are almost too many secondary physical/ structural, practical, healing, and medical benefits of learning Thai Yoga and sharing and practicing as an expert! Truthfully, we can say that learning Traditional Thai Yoga, as a genuine alternative medicine, is an excellent alternative to massage therapy or allopathic medicine in most instances.

Please note: when we say “Traditional Thai Yoga or a style such as SomaVeda® Thai Yoga,” we mean styles or traditional systems that incorporate the whole gamut of traditional remedies, including but not limited to Spiritual, Mental- Psychological, Energy, and Frequency-based protocols, Emotional and physical… including biologic issues with an emphasis on all areas of life such as Mindfulness and Puja, Sacred Nutrition and eating strategies for medicinal food and balancing diets, use of all medicinal herbs and conjunctive strategies using foods, herbs, aromatics, minerals, salts, water & juices accompanied with both facilitated and self-meditation, Yoga (Reusi Dotton), Traditional Thai Physical Therapy (TPT/ TTPT), Traditional Chinese Tuina Massage “Nuad Chin,” hands-on (Marma-chikitsa). One good example of a complex traditional therapy is “Nuat Prakhop Samun Prai,” or Thai Herbal Compress/ Poultice or Herb – aroma therapy Balls conjunctive with Thai Yoga Chirothesia (hands-on).

Please Note! The list below needs to be more comprehensive and is growing daily as new scientific research comes to light!

Thai Yoga Mastery, The Reformation, Bio-Tapp/ EFT, and Thai Yoga Part 2

SomaVeda Integrated Traditional Therapies®By Anthony B. James

A New Definition of Pain

The common word “pain” describes certain qualities of imbalance or states of being. However, in this new way of understanding, real pain is represented as an impacting interference wave pattern that causes distortion fields in the Matrix Body. This kind of pain does not support the integration of the awakened consciousness. Stated, pain is a certain type of disturbance or distortion in the body’s electrical field. These distortion fields manifest in the machine (Stress Adaptive Transformational Human Biological Machine) as negative emotions that have an infinite diversity of expression and intensity. These negative emotions are complicating and contributing factors in every form of disease and imbalance of a persistent nature. There is no difference between so-called chronic physical imbalance and chronic emotional or mental imbalance apart from the nefarious role of negative emotions. The negative emotions are the symptoms of deeper energetic distortions.

Thai Yoga Mastery, The Reformation, Bio-Tapp/ EFT and Thai Yoga Part 1

Thai Yoga Mastery, The Reformation, Bio-Tapp/E.F.T., and Thai Yoga Part 1

I was first introduced to the concept of “tapping” to balance energy in the meridians by the late Grand Master of Thai Medicine, Aachan Boontum Kitniwan, in 1988. In 1991, I was introduced to a Japanese variation by the master of Shiatsu, Sensei Toshiko Phipps. The initial techniques Toshi introduced to me were performed with a little wooden hammer and probe. We would do a pulse or Hara assessment to determine which meridians and corresponding points would need balancing and then apply the probe and tap it with the hammer. Toshi also told me that it was her understanding that the technique was originally part of Tibetan and Chinese acupuncture. My feeling and sense of what these various masters told me is that the use is quite ancient and was practiced in some form throughout Asia and Southeast Asia.

Khru Leslie Rahn,

SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Teacher in Memorium 2001

SomaVeda® Thai Khruu Leslie Rahn, Thai Yoga Teacher Memorium 2001

On June 8th, 2001, Leslie passed away, apparently due to complications of breast cancer treatment. She had been working with this challenge for some time. For all those who had the privilege to know and to work with her. As one of her teachers and friends, family, friends, and students … we will miss her infectious presence. Leslie was my first “official” apprentice student and a friend for many years. She became the first certified Instructor in the system I developed (Anthony B. James), SomaVeda®, before taking a different direction. Leslie, as always, marched to her own drum! By nature, she was a fierce, loving, compassionate, passionate, uncompromising person who challenged everything in her life. Like a whirlwind, her zest was contagious and tended to sweep up those around her. She was a terrific and technically proficient teacher who always sought to get to the essence of things and communicate this vision to those around her. In her honor, effective immediately, I am setting up a scholarship fund in her name to help others who may need assistance in learning this great work that we do.

Monastic and Christ Centered Traditional Natural Medicine is Functional Medicine!

Christ-centered, Native American Medicine at American College of Natural medicine and The Thai Yoga Center

Jesus Heals the Sick

Jesus, “The Great Physician,” was famous for his healing ministry. We see healing ministry as genuine, spiritually-based medicine’s proper and true function.

You might not like what I am going to say. People are suffering from “bad” medicine or “medicine” which has an agenda other than curing illness or disease. I have a big question for those in the Christian community.

Does your faith-based organization, church, seminary, or church teach and practice Natural Medicine? Those “church” members or “goers.” we like to say that we follow Jesus and his example. We refer to Jesus as the “Great Healer,” the “Great Physician,” and we want to emulate his example, yes? Then why do not Christian organizations, churches, and seminaries not operate medical schools and programs teaching the type of medicine Jesus practiced?

Why do 99% of self-identifying Christians go to Allopathic, Technocratic, Collectivist, or Secular (Atheist) Corporate medical care at the first sniffle, cough, or illness of any kind? For thousands of years, 99% of health care was practiced by the “church.”The term “Hospital” was invented and coined by Christian Monastic Physicians to denote a place where healing was physically administered both in the name of and the likeness of Jesus as a role model.

These Monastic Medical institutions treated every we treat today with functional medicine for a thousand years up to the 1920s and 30s. When this function was abolished, mainly to corporations and governments. The past three years’ health, social, and medical debacles illustrate my point perfectly, as the “modern” medical establishment has not only failed but directly contributed to the failure and ongoing harm to millions.

Ask yourself the question. Why does your church, your religious organization, NOT teach the principles of Health and Health Freedom? Why are ordained ministers, not each and everyone, a minister also of Health, Medicine, curing disease, and supporting the wellness of the physical body as well as the spirit? Why do your ministers and pastors recommend you submit to corporate and social agenda-based health care for your many illnesses, and why does your church not have a medical mission or function?

Jesus, “The Great Physician,” was famous for his healing ministry. We see healing ministry as the proper and true function of genuine, spiritually-based medicine.

We can help correct this glaring absence of function. We can rectify this. We can help you, your organization, your church, and your community create a medical function and eventually an independent medical seminary and school able to prepare ministers for medical practice based on functional and biblical supported medical practice, which is moral, ethical, and in the likeness of Jesus as a role model.
