Altar within a Massage Clinic

Altar within a Massage Clinic.

As you may already know, part of my training was done in Thailand at Pichest Boonthumme Thai Massage School.

That’s where I learn about Altar within a Massage Clinic

Pichest, as already mentioned in a previous blog post, is a unique way of teaching.

In fact, he doesn’t only share the massage knowledge.

He included in his teaching a methodology of life.

Included in this methodology there is the dedication to prayer and meditation.

Even though I haven’t included the prayer yet in my experience, I did include the meditation.

In order to do so, in order to build a stronger attitude toward those practices, at Melbourne Thai Treatment clinic there is a little altar the clinic.

On the altar, based on the teaching of Pichest, I do expose my offer and memory to the Buddha, to Mamma and Papa’, and to the Teacher.

In addition, I did decide to place objects or pictures that recall for me a special time, a memory o a person that someone, shared with me some teaching.

Furthermore, just below the altar, there are the products that I sell as the Incenses.

But you know what’s the funny thing about the altar present at the Home Clinic here in Blair St?

Well, it was already there. I didn’t have to install it.

True fact is that, when we came for the house inspection, we right away address that room as the clinic, due to the presence of the wooden altar.

A few days after we did move in, I did find out the truth about our neighbour that someone else, before us, already was running a massage studio in the same room. What a coincidence, right?!

In conclusion, I am working on my way to improving my practice, and not as a massage therapist only, by taking the Myotherapy course, but also by improving my meditation practice and my prayer practice.

I can’t define myself as a religious person, but even though I believe in trust and faith.

Thanks again for reading my blog,

Giovanni
