Ayurveda and Marma Therapy November 7, 2008

I think that the majority of people have some understanding of the concepts behind acupuncture and acupressure. Tiny needles or pressure is put into or onto certain points of the body. These points lay along meridian lines along which chi or life energy flows. By doing so, blockages or stagnation is eliminated and the natural flow is resumed. In turn, the body regains its health.
In some ways, Marma Therapy is similar to these methods. Marma Therapy also looks to correct the natural energy flow in the body to correct health issues. Specific points on the body are used to do so. Some forms of Marma Therapy even use acupressure techniques.
However, with Marma Therapy, these points are generally massaged in a particular way. The direction of the massage, the oils employed, the accompanying meditations, and the actual points worked upon are tailored to the individual based upon his or her Ayurvedic type and the particular excesses or deficiencies that need to be balanced. Overall, it is a far more complex process but one that is perfectly suited to the individual's needs.

Everyone should read this book. The pressure points are the most powerful and effective of any of the many compendiums I have read. My wife and I love the effects this book has had on our health and wellbeing. Very clear and well-written, a highly useful masterpiece.
An Excellent Reference Manual October 29, 2009

I have been intrigued with acupressure points, acupuncture points, and as of late, Marma points, for use in my healing practice over the past few years. I use these points energetically, as opposed to manual stimulation. So, up to the release of this book I was always looking for better guides, maps, and general information for the Marmas. This book delivered exactly what I needed.
This book is a very complete and comprehensive guide to Marmas, their locations, what they govern, and how to interact with them based on Ayurvedic medicine. Invaluable information contained here that is as good a guide as I have seen so far. A great choice and addition to anyone's healing practice or home library.
