Is there a correlation between Thai ancient massage and chakras

There is a connection.

1, Thai massage originated from the ancient Indian yoga, and yoga "chakras" in the same way.

2, Thai massage reputation, has been many tourists to Thailand must experience one of the leisure and entertainment programs. Thai ancient massage has a long history of more than 2,000 years, not only is Thailand's cultural treasures, but also an important part of the world cultural heritage. Thai massage originated from the ancient Indian yoga. Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, the ancient Indian king and Buddha's royal physician, invented the massage therapy method in order to cure diseases, and Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha was also regarded as the "father of medicine". At that time, most of the people who learned this technique were monks, so with the spread of Buddhism, monks also brought this massage method to Thailand.

3, chakra Chakra word literally means "wheel" or "ring", but in yoga, a more appropriate explanation should be "vortex" or "vortex". "Chakra is a vortex of life energy in a specific area of the body, controlling the circulation of life energy throughout the entire structure of the body. Each chakra is the equivalent of a switch that initiates or turns on certain behavioral patterns, thoughts or emotional responses from the daily subconscious. The chakras correspond to specific areas of the brain, and in most people these spiritual centers are dormant or unactivated. Focusing on these chakras while doing yoga practice stimulates the flow of energy through the chakras and helps to activate them, which in turn awakens dormant areas of the brain and corresponding areas of the mental and spiritual planes, allowing the person to experience the higher realms of consciousness that are normally inaccessible.
