Also, for me, your playfulness, your joyful manner towards this sacred art is a fine example. And somehow in the lightness is a nurturing softness. Lovely to be around.
Minnie, Special Education Teacher, Czech Republic


You and your Thai seminar deserve some credit because I walked away from that weekend loving and respecting myself more as a living being.
Melanie, CMT


Michael, I am writing to thank you for presenting such a wonderful and powerful workshop. I am really thrilled with the potential for this work-I have been integrating it with varying degrees depending on the client-and the response is very exciting! Thanks again for your commitment and enthusiasm in sharing this work.
Fran, CMT


What an exceptional workshop! I've begun to use what I've learned immediately. Your teaching style and mastery of content made it very easy to absorb a great deal of info in a very short time.
Ginny Mazzei, MSW/CMT


Since that life-transforming workshop (with Michael in June 1999) and going on to receive Thai massage myself on a monthly basis, I am compelled to help him spread this beautiful and heartfelt healing art to as many people as can be reached. Michael is one of the most committed, genuine and natural facilitators of healing that I have ever had the honor of calling my friend. The beauty and magic of his art is infused seamlessly into how he lives his life; authentic and mindful with attention to treating others with the utmost respect and reverence. He breathes humanity into the teachings as is revealed in the beautiful testimonials he receives from participants.
Ellen Joseph, BA, Certified Integrative Yoga Therapist


This card is to remind me of the Tratak candle exercise you taught us! Perhaps while gazing into the candle's flame, we stop time! Perhaps we then see ourselves as others do. I am therefore your student trying to improve on his reflection.
Mike Pearson, Pharmacist/CMT, Jacksonville, Florida


As I look back over my experiences and discoveries over the past year, my thoughts go to you in gratitude. Your efforts as a teacher have brought many positive things into my life. Be well, Michael!
Michealann, Artist/M.Th.


I have been practicing on my clients with a great deal of success. I want more! Thank you for an excellent presentation and a new insight on massage and life.
Dr. Jeff Robbins, Podiatrist


To express our huge appreciation and thanks for a wonderful workshop this weekend. Both Dominique and I are fairly seasoned "class-takers" and we both came away with the feeling that what we had been given was not only fantastic, but also that the whole thing felt very balanced and "complete"-and that you are one of the best teachers we have been exposed to-and that you are just a very nice person! I have to say that I so much appreciated the sense of support and encouragement in my own journey-your comments and praise were very, very welcomed and have helped a great deal...So-more, please. Levels 2 & 3 are very much needed.
Don Thompson, Exercise Physiologist, London


I completed a level one course in Thai Bodywork in London. I was very impressed with your knowledge and enthusiasm of the art.
P. Gospage, Essex England


When Michael Buck placed me on the mat for a treatment, I felt his total respect, commitment and connection just upon his presents in the room.
Gloria Coppola, Ocean Cty., NJ


I was immediately put at ease with Michaels comfortable style and grace.It felt like we had known each other for a lifetime. Michael's relaxed familiar attitude enabled the class to feel like good friends.
Claudia Erde, South Orange, NJ


Once more I want to thank you for your class. I am practicing almost every day and I feel great. I am practicing with others from your class in Vienna. We think of you often!
E. Spielauer, Vienna Austria


I feel like a different person. I am very fortunate to have attended your class. I learned how to better connect myself with my environment as well as boost my confidence. I will forever be touched by this life changing experience.
Victoria Jimeney, Boulder, CO


Thank you so much for the awesome workshop. I am still buzzing from the experience! I can't get enough! I've already practiced on several people. Goodness knows, I have the desire to practice on anyone who holds still long enough for me to do so!
J. Parker, Philadelphia, PA


You demonstrated with ease, clarity and mastery the meaning of this wonderful bodywork; and I left owning an inspiring message which was both physically beneficial and spiritually illuminating. Thank You!
Simon T., London England


I just wanted to thank you again for your course. My work is so much more satisfying and my clients are noticing the difference. I also feel as though other areas of my life have opened up.
Kerry Orr, Wilmington, DE


It was such a profound and fun experience meeting you. I now feel centered and at peace, even with my fast pace work schedule. Thank you so much for all that you've given which is much much more than the Thai Massage Workshop.
J. Bliss, Graybear, TN


When the time comes for me to have my own practice, i will strive to be as kind and grateful to my students and clients as you were to me. Thanks so very much.
R. Vallejo, Santiago Chile

Thanks for a wonderful weekend! It is always a joy to study with you!
Namaste, Marianne Bowman

Dear Mukti,
Thank you for a wonderful weekend. You teach a beautiful art, and I feel fortunate to have been your student. I hope to be at the training in Dec. to learn more. I would also like to have a session with you when you come back to Philly. Do you offer private sessions when you are traveling?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Namaste, Gwen

Mutki,
Just a brief thank you for a wonderful weekend workshop. I attend a fair number of workshops on various yogic and martial arts practices and appreciated your tone, attitude, style and most importantly sense of humor. Success and best wishes with all you do in life –

Adam

Hey Mukti,

Thanks so much for a wonderful weekend! You were great and the class was so inspiring! I can't wait to share my new knowledge with friends, family, and new clients!
Karis

I was calling out to you this morning, asking you to guide my hands to heal.
I gave my first 1 hour massage and the recipient, who is one of my yoga students, was opening up and releasing profoundly. i was very much humbled by the experience and continued repeating your name, my mantra, and calling on all the teachers and their teachers before them.....all the way back to the source.
Thank you for guiding me back home. You make the world a better place.
Jai Sri Sat Guru Maharaj Ki!
Jai Mukti!
Love Love Love
Renata Ranjani

Dear Michael, Many thanks to the teachers who taught you and many thanks to you, who is now my teacher, for introducing me to an awesome way to enjoy bodywork. May you continue to be blessed in life.

Sincerely, Christopher Pohl

Lovely Michael,
I feel the need to share with you.
I am watching your DVD (again). I shared how "transformational" our Thai class (with you) was for me. It was, and remains, one of the most transformational weekends of my life!
Lots of people teach massage techniques. You are different. What you brought to our gathering of spirits in Lexington was ease, connection (to spirit and to each other), and a reminder of the beauty of life.
Far too often, we forget what a gift we are given each day. It is in this spirit that I want to express my gratitude to Y-O-U!
In the experience of your day to day life, in case you forget, I want to remind you of what a gift you are sharing. As you have said in your DVD, "clients aren't coming to us to be muscled ... they want to feel your entire being". When you teach you are offering your entire being, and what you are offering is immense!
Thank you for reminding me of what our human experience is supposed to look like ... and thank you for reminding me of the free spirit that I let go dormant. It feels good to be free again!
Even though. I don't need any more CEU's, I think I will take your August class --- just for ME!
Love You Always,
Nancy.

Hi Michael,
How are you my friend? The weekend workshop was amazing for me. Your knowledge, wisdom and energy were such a gift to receive. I feel so much better as a result on many different levels. My challenge now is to maintain that energy and positive awareness of my life, and my surroundings. You exude so much peace and calmness, I admire that. I also admire how much you give of yourself, as a healer, teacher and friend. It is hard to find people with such qualities. Michael, you have helped me this weekend and have touched my soul. You are a special person. For this I am forever grateful. Take care my friend and have a safe flight. I look forward to seeing you again. bye for now,
Cheryl

Hello Michael,
I know you arrived home safely. I have felt your presence these past two days in my sessions, meditations.....I find myself laughing, hearing the echoes of your " training mantras". I have given about eight sessions, some short, and find it only natural to do the Thai massage. I finally have had the chance to watch some of the DVD and am so very grateful to have these for reference. Not quite the same with you in person "but" close. So, I am Happy to say that this is the start of something long awaited, taking my work to a much higher yet deeper level with boundless opportunities for healing and relaxation. I will be training hard to "be like a Ninja!" There is so much to learn and I am dedicated to Honoring your Teachings. You have given me the greatest gift of Inspiration and Motivation and that I will cherish with Dignity and Integrity.
I will be taking more of your classes in the Fall.
My Heart is Shining!
Namaste, Debi

Dear Michael
- just wanted to thank you for the workshop - for the transformation - and for your continued presence and inspiration ... the benefits are spreading to all those around me - and specifically my boys plead for more thai-yoga massage ... I feel like the grinch whose heart grew 3 times one day ... there are those few teachers whose teachings transcend the limited subject matter that they choose as a vehicle - and pervade all aspects of life ... of which you are one ... I look forward to being with you again
- with love
Rebecca

Master Mukti!

your student and servant

Dear Mukti,
Congratulations on your honored position within the Massage Hall of Fame. If there is anyone I know of who deserves such a place, it is truly you! All blessings to you and all those around you who have been your source of inspiration. Your gentle and kind ways have been a beacon of light for me and I thank you for that.
All the best,
Suzen Chan

On behalf of your middle-aged friends from New Jersey, congratulations on this honor. We are both proud of you and happy for you.

It has surprised me a little the scale of what you have accomplished...I did not see that coming. But that you would turn your passion into a life of peace and happiness is something that I never doubted. And that you have positively touched so many...you are a good man, Michael Buck.
Gary Burke V.P. NBC Television

Hi Mukti!

A well deserved honor at that. Congratulations!

I am continually enjoying my new found knowledge of Thai yoga bodywork. It has brought me so much joy in my daily practice and my life. Sending you a million Thankyous. I am looking forward to receiving more valuable information this fall....Are there no Thai on the table classes offered in Philly in the near future?


Much Love,

Debi

Michael,

Congratulations on your induction! Your devotion to your art is only surpassed by your beautiful spirit!

All the best,
Rene' Paige

Congratulations, old friend....you deserve it!

Your work is a shining example of what it means to come from the heart.

Love and Blessings,

Edie

Mukti,
I am so pleased that I can be a small part of your goal to spread this beautiful art to many. Accept my deepest congratulations on the induction to the hall of fame. All of us that have witnessed your love and excellence as you teach. You deserve the honor. See you soon.
Love Love
Jane

Hi Michael,

Glad to see that you are doing well.

Have you heard of the T.H.A.I. association? Not sure their intension is. They had a conference a few weekends ago. Please let me know your thoughts on that. Thanks.

Much love,

Ko Tan

Also, you had mentioned you were curious how my son Ian would respond to the work...he LOVES it. He was a little wary of me working on him for a few days, but then decided to give it a shot and now wants to take a kids yoga class. I am going to look for one we can take together because your class inspired me to pursue all aspects of yoga myself. I have known for years I needed to take up yoga and my mom even used to be an instructor, but I have been putting it off, though that is about to change. I am still practicing as much as I can and continue to feel wonderful. Thank you again for offering such a wonderful gift and being an awesome teacher. The class truly changed my life and I know will continue to do so...

Love,
M. Arney
