Thai massage can do miracles
„It feels wonderful to heal!”
Monika Karsai got to know Thai massage during a vacation. She was so fascinated by this special technique, that later on she mastered is as well. Since then she helped the healing of many people.
Monika Karsai decided to go to Thailand for half a year with her boyfriend about ten years ago. They sold the flat they co-owned, put its price in the bank and headed off East.
- I told my friends there already on the first evening, that I would like to get a massage. They recommended me an elderly woman who visited us the next morning already, but I wasn’t a bit happy about it. She looked like a witch, approximately 1 meter 40 centimeters tall and 36 kilos, moreover, as she smiled, you could see the remaining few black teeth she had. But thanks to the many nice massages, I slowly learned to like her. She massaged me every day, while she introduced me to her knowledge. We felt fantastic with my boyfriend on this special continent, but we had to come home, because our pre-purchased plane ticket expired.
Monika lost so much weight because of the healthy lifestyle that her concerned family sent her to a doctor.
- The ones back at home were speechless when they saw us. We lost much weight. It was due to the nagging of our families that we visited a doctor to examine whether there was anything wrong with us. To our biggest surprise, we were told that we are in perfect health, moreover, thanks to the Thai lifestyle, the healthy eating and the massages our previous problems were gone as well.
They managed to stay home for a month and then they returned to Thailand, this time, for an entire year.
- By then I already knew that I wanted to become a masseuse. I visited the healers and the shamans of the island, and masters from Bangkok, but I also learned a lot from simple fishermen. Although they could not read or write, they knew everything about the life and teachings of Buddha.
Monika learned the guiles in Thailand.
I kept regularly visiting the mommy, of course. Up till today, she is my dearest master.
- We spent several years there and came home from time to time, for longer or shorter periods of time. We could not decide where to live, but we came to realize that we spend more and more time in Hungary, because of the job of my boyfriend, my medical studies and our families. But I do not regret that it turned out this way, because no matter how great it is to live in Thailand, we are strangers there. A white person in Asia will always be a foreigner.
- Here at home at first I practiced on my friends. My first unknown client was a chief medical officer working at an ICU. She made me realize what physiological effects what I do have. Among others, I treated coma patients, paralyzed people, ones with spine problems, infertile women, ones who were weakened or who needed post-operation rehabilitation. It is a wonderful feeling to help others, to heal people.
I feel very lucky that I got to know far Eastern, ancient healing therapies. Soon my dream will also come true, the one about linking the West and the East, combining ancient healing therapies with modern medical science. I am opening my Chi Thai Massage and Therapy Center in the coming days.
