MARMA CHIKITSA: AYURVEDIC ACUPRESSURE-ENERGY TREATMENT
MARMA CHIKITSA: AYURVEDIC ACUPRESSURE-ENERGY TREATMENT
A marma point is a portal of prana or vital life-force. They are junctures on the body where two or more types of tissue meet and act as the access points of the subtle energy body. When imbalances block the movement of free-flowing energy in the body, the result is stagnation. This can lead to physical and mental discomfort and dis-ease.
This science is based on the manipulation of these points to access shifts in body, mind, and consciousness. A light or medium pressure is applied to the points using the fingers, a therapy wand or a tuning fork.
Marma therapy is useful in : pain, stress, tension, energetic or emotional issues, balancing digestion, clearing toxicity, and calming the mind.
