Marma Chikitsa

Picture
Marma Chikitsa is a therapeutic modality that works to restore balance to the body, mind, and energy systems. Sessions are performed on a treatment table while the client remains clothed. It works by clearing and opening the subtle channels (nadis and meridians), gently awakening the dormant energies, and directly engaging the nervous system. This practice is incredibly subtle and profoundly calming and restorative. 

Marma therapy is similar to the Chinese treatment of acupuncture and acupressure, bur instead of using needles, it applies gentle pressure on specific points known as marma points. These points are components of, and intersections of the connective tissue and nerves where concentrated life-force energy, or prana is located. Using specific sequences or constellations, essential oils, and rotational or sweeping movements to stimulate the flow of prana and restore the body to its natural state of balance and ease.

As the various marma points are stimulated, prana awakens and begins to flow through the nadis (energy channels), transmitting information and cellular intelligence from the more superficial structures on skin and fascia to the deeper internal organs and tissues. This brings the body and mind back to its natural state of homeostasis.

The spiritual function of marma chikitsa is to access consciousness at a deep level. The practitioner's role is to assist the Spirit in remembering its natural state of equilibrium. As this deep consciousness re-awakens and begins to flow freely, the prana effectively opens and clears the blocked or stagnant channels and restores balance to the vital energies. You will leave feeling deeply relaxed, with a sense of mental ease and openness. 

This therapy is ideal for the onset of injury, to aid in sleep, and for basic relaxation. It is especially helpful for anxiety, depression, chronic illness, ADD and ADHD, back pain, neck and shoulder issues, and digestive disorders.
