What is Marma Therapy?
Marma or “vital” points, have been known by Ayurvedic doctors, yogis, and ancient warriors for many thousands of years. Warriors would strengthen these vital points to protect themselves from attack, and thus from knowledge of marmas came armor.
These points connect to the subtle nerves (nadis) and energetic centers (chakras), and serve as switches for life force (prana) to flow through and heal the body using its natural intelligence. At marma sites, toxins, stress and negative emotions get lodged, and are held sometimes for years - eventually manifesting as physical and mental disease.
This means that marmas are important for restoring proper connection and healing the subtle body — our internal energy, moods, and emotions — as well as the physical body, resulting in increased health and vitality. When the body is harmoniously communicating with the subtle body and the spirit - amazing things happen, and the body becomes a channel empowerment, clarity, and vitality of the true self.
Marma Therapy is one of the most powerful and effective methods of bodywork in the world.
It stems from India’s ancient healing science - Ayurveda. A variety of techniques are used to awaken the body’s natural healing capability - and invite life back into areas where stagnation may be present.
Ayurveda describes 72,000 channels in the body that facilitate the movement of vital energies (electric signals, hormones, blood, lymphatic fluid, etc) and allow communication between systems - from the cellular level to the body as a whole. Physical, mental and emotional disease occurs when these channels are stressed or inhibited. Marma therapy allows the clear-communication of these channels.
Marma is unique in its variety of techniques used that gradually open, relax, clear and rejuvenate all systems - ultimately making it a potent therapy for practically any condition or imbalance.
Gain a powerful grasp of the world’s most ancient medical science.
