herzlich wilkommen - to every buddha body

funny, i never realized that to welcome you "to every buddha body" is to simultaneously address everyone as a buddha body and to include you in the subject of "every buddha body."

i guess that was the original idea anyway: to create a space through the work that i do where everyone is acknowledged as a being of light and made to feel even more like one. the moment of eureka for me was giving a massage to my 94-year old grandma, just a year before her death. i gave her a treatment in her big, full-sized bed. she had never received a massage, let alone one connected to the spiritual traditions of buddhism. she was amazed that her limbs could be moved in the way i moved them and said it was so special to feel her body energized by my warm hands. at the end of my time with her, while i worked on her face, i watched her expression soften into the look of a buddha, shining in a state of complete bliss.

so massage is for everyone who has a body, and thai massage is for "every buddha body." it is meant to be somewhat funny yet it is also completely serious. thai massage began as a buddhist temple practice and i give each treatment with a full awareness of that lineage. it is a moving meditation shared by two.

now that i have introduced you to my ideas, i would like to introduce you to the actual massage (this is the angebot (!) section): for just two weeks (till october 21st) i am offering first-time clients one 60 minute massage (eine probestunde) for 25€. also during this time a single 90 minute session is 40€. and if you are an artist, student or have a low income, one ninety minute session is 30€. this is half the price of my regular rate. please tell your friends! these specials are good at both reichenberger str. 72 and at the moveo yoga studio*, berlin-kreuzberg.

*note: at moveo you can use the sauna for 5€ in combination with receiving a massage.
