Marma Therapy
Marma Therapy is an ancient practice rooted in Ayurvedic medicine that focuses on stimulating specific points on the body known as marma points. These points are considered vital energy centers where physical and subtle energies converge. Marma therapy is a traditional Indian healing practice rooted in Ayurveda that involves the stimulation of specific points on the body, known as “marma points,” to promote physical and mental health.It is a traditional Indian healing system that dates back over 5,000 years in Ayurvedic texts.These points are where the body’s energy channels, or nadis, intersect with the physical structures like muscles, bones, and joints.
Where Are Marma Points?
There are 108 marma points—107 on the physical body and one in the mind. Physically the marma points are found where tendons, bones, muscles, joints, veins, nerves, and other tissues meet. Ancient healing physicians mapped out the specific locations ofmarma points as well as their effects upon various parts of the body. Each marma pointcorresponds to a specific vayu (function of prana), dosha (constitutional type), dhatu(bodily tissue), and srota (physicachannel).
How Marma Points Work
When prana flows freely from the nadis into the marma points, there is health. If,however, the energy becomes stagnant or its flow is disrupted, health is impaired. Thereare a plethora of common practices that can disturb the natural flow of prana through the
marma points:
- Consumption of devitalized food
- Poor sleep habits
- Emotional stress
- Overexposure to sun
- Lack of exercise
- Pollution
Principles of Marma Point Therapy
- The Subtlest Layers Hold the Greatest Potential for Healing : In order to work on the are musculature, firm pressure is necessary. When moving toxins through the lymphatic system, less pressure is required.
- The Intention of the Therapist and Client Must Be Aligned : Energy responds to energy. Like attracts like. A powerful thought can evoke corresponding energy in the body. When working on marma points.
- Marma Therapy Should Be Administered by a Trained Professional : Treatment of the marma points directly influences prana, and thereby, the entire body. It takes years of training and experience to learn not only the marma points and their specific
functions.
