The Sen lines are the energy lines that are believed to run through the body in Thai massage. They are similar to the meridians in Chinese medicine and the Nadis in Ayurvedic medicine. The Sen lines are believed to be pathways for the flow of life force energy, or prana.
When the Sen lines are blocked, it is believed that this can lead to physical and emotional imbalances. Thai massage therapists use a variety of techniques to work on the Sen lines, including: * Pressure: Applying pressure to the Sen lines with the fingers, thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows, knees, or feet.
- Stretching: Stretching the body in various ways to open up the Sen lines.
- Energy work: Using their hands to manipulate the energy flow in the body. It is believed that working on the Sen lines can help to:
- Improve circulation: Increase blood flow and lymph flow throughout the body.
- Reduce stress: Help to calm the mind and body.
- Boost immunity: Strengthen the immune system.
- Relieve pain: Ease muscle tension and pain.
- Promote relaxation: Induce a deep state of relaxation.
- There are many different Sen lines in the body, but some of the most important ones include:
- Sen Sumana: This line runs from the navel to the crown of the head. It is associated with the heart, lungs, and emotional balance.
- Sen Sith: This line runs from the groin to the armpit. It is associated with the reproductive organs and the kidneys.
