This work is the first of its kind to systematically present all 117 marmani according to their individual energetics and to compare them with the Chinese system of acupuncture points. Detailed commentaries for each marma shed light on their diagnostic and therapeutic scope. Marma therapy integrates vital knowledge of the energy points with specific techniques of Ayurvedic massage, detoxification, acupressure, aromatherapy, yoga practices, meditation and more.
First rub in circular motion in an anti-clockwise direction to detoxify, then in a clockwise direction to nourish. yogandha detox has been prepared specifically for detoxing the body. This you can easily do yourself with yogandha detox as part of your morning ritual. Mantra is part of Marma - so say a detoxing mantra or affirmation while you are massaging the marma point.
2. The right knee (Janu marma). Massage exactly as above. If you have pain in the joint - you may prefer to use yogandha muscle Ssoothe - but remember this is a marma point that will stimulate a body detox. The point is specifically located at the right knee (the liver is on the right side of the body).
Here you will actually cover many marma points and help to detox the whole body. Rub the soles of the feet every evening with either yogandha Detox if you are actively cleansing the body, or yogandha Relax if the purpose is to let go of the day before a entering a deeper and more restful sleep.
If you are a yoga teacher - please introduce these simple self-massage techniques to your students. It teaches us to use our own hands for our own self-healing. And it deeply connects us with ourselves.
There are several factors that can inhibit the free flow of energy through the body. From lack of sleep, poor diet, lack of exercise, emotional stress, and disconnect from the natural environment. One must not underestimate the effect our modern lives have on our inner state. We feed our environments as much as they feed us back. If you notice a certain stagnation in the regular functioning of the body, it would be good to see if any of the above factors make up your daily routine.
Marma therapy works to clear stagnation in the vital energy points and thus increase vitality within the corresponding body parts. Because marma techniques work at the level of raw prana (prana that has not yet been differentiated into its various functions within the human body); its ability to facilitate physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing is immense.
Our intent must remain at the forefront of this process. One who practices Marma Therapy needs to remain in tune with the intent to move gently, as much as the receiver of the therapy must remain in tune with being open and vulnerable. This will facilitate the right kind of subtle communication and allow the channels to communicate back to the body and the points as well.
Ayurveda mein ilaj hai. Aapko khaane mein dhyaan dena hoga. Refined tel mein khaana paakana bandh kar dijeye. Phal khayiye. Namak kam kar dijiye. Karela juice, ash gourd jiuce, bottle gourd juice pijiye. Raat ko jaldi khana kayiye. Shyam ko 6 bajeke baad khuj nahi khaana aur subha 8.30 baje ke baad nashta kijiye.
