Thai Reflexology
Who doesn’t like a good foot rub? Reflexology is based on the belief that all parts of the body are reflected in the feet and hands and by applying gentle pressure to these areas can affect the corresponding part of the body and help to restore balance.
In this workshop you will learn how Thai Style Reflexology and Foot Massage can help releases those feel-good endorphins helping with stress-relief. It also boosts circulation and aid the lymphatic system, which gets rid of waste products produced around the body.
This course will be offered on October 26-27 in Toronto and Thai Reflexology Level 2 on November 9-10 in Montreal.

Thia Reflexology
There are millions of nerve endings in our feet and hands. The idea behind reflexology is that through pressure points, the connections in the nervous system can be used to re-energize, stimulate, disperse, unblock and restore the natural flow of prana/chi (the invisible energy) in your body. This will leave the client feeling totally relaxed.
Please enjoy, this quick video, outlining what students will learn in Lotus Palm's Thai reflexology courses.

Transformation
As autumn rolls in Montreal and Toronto, I take in the transformation that seems to be happening right before my eyes. I am amazed how new everything appears to be right now. From the crispness of the air and the cool rain hitting my windowsill, to the bright colours of the fresh fallen leaves that surround my every step, it is all so beautiful!
We all have the ability to transform. Being human we all have made mistakes in the past and we need to recognize them. We will make mistakes in the future, so embrace them. It is the efforts we make in this very moment that can so profoundly transform us whether it is physically, emotionally or spiritually and we can come to be this beautiful unlimited human being.
"Transformation does not happen in the past nor does it occur in the future. It is in the present moment that we can transform by making the effort to be the best we can be."
-Sukha Wong
Owner/Director of Lotus Palm

Chakra of the Month: The Third Eye
The Anja chakra, located between the eyebrows is the sixth chrakra from the bottom. When your third eye chakra is in balance, you are able to tap into your sixth sense. You experience higher consciousness and inner awareness.
Marma of the Month: Sthapani
This point controls the sixth chakra (Anja), it governs the Senses and stimulates the pituitary gland. It is located at the same spot as the Anja Chakra and they both go through the senline: Sen Sumana.
Recipe of the Month: Chickpea Patties with Coriander Yogurt
Chickpeas are high in fibre and protein, have no cholesterol and little fat. These patties are sure to leave you satisfied with a Cajun kick that goes well with fresh coriander yogurt.
Now you know!
A healthy human heart beats approximately 80,000 to 100,000 times a day and pumps almost 2,000 gallons of blood.
That a fact that gets your blood pumping!
Self Healing Festival
Lotus Palm is keen to get involved in some of Toronto’s finest community-oriented Festivals and to that end took a booth at the Self Healing Festival on September 28th, 2013. It was well-attended and a great success, thanks to the hard work of the organizers, Patti and Jane, and their volunteers. There was a steady stream of bodies for our volunteer practitioners, Gilles, Ian, Monika and Elena and a big thank you goes out to them.
The highlight of the day had to be our inaugural Lotus Palm Flash Mob Thai Massage. At 6 PM prompt, the students from Kam Thye Chow’s Level 2 Course, Ryan, Lisa, Bill, Sarah, Stephane, Shpresa, Gregory, Lindsay, Nidhi, Veronique, Alan, Reena and Lauren, along with his Assistant, Tracey, threw down their yoga mats and grabbed a guest to work on, as Sukha commandeered the microphone and shouted out the order of the sitting postures. ‘Cow Face 1’ could be heard throughout the hall! People stood and watched in admiration. It was so successful we called for another one an hour later!
I had a tremendous time taking pictures and videos of the event and sincerely hope to make this a recurring feature for our Toronto community.
Watch out for emails calling all students for Lotus Palm Flash Mob Thai Massage near you!
