Your body is flowing with energy fields that have the power to heal

what are marmas?
three-phase activation sequence
According to Ayurvedic tradition, marmas are vital, subtle energy points in the
body located at the junctions of bones, muscles and nerves. The “sacred map”
of our bodies reveals at least 107 classical marma points, which are similar to the
meridians in traditional acupuncture and acupressure. When the energy flow to
the marmas is blocked, we experience stress, tension and negative emotions.
Ayurveda teaches that the universal energy coursing through our bodies is
stimulated through specific marma points. Through marma therapy, energy can
flow freely and awaken the power of self-healing.
