Have you heard of Marma points or Marma therapy?

Dr Shishir Prasad’s next advance course in Marma therapy is starting soon!!
Great for all ayurveda practitioners, therapists, physiotherapists, yoga teachers, naturopath and everyone else in the field of healthcare and interest in learning authentic Marma therapy skills.

A Marma vital point is a vital energy point located on the surface of the body. The Ayurvedic text describes 107 Marma points located on a human body. These points are vital as they are infused with prana, the life force and imbued with consciousness. Those Marma points serve as a bridge between the body, mind and soul. Marma points are located at anatomical sites where veins, arteries, tendons, bones or joints intersect.
Acharya Sushrut has defined Marmas as the anatomical sites where mamsa, sira, snayu, asthi, sandi unite and by nature prana resides here. 📖

The Sanskrit word Marma means mortal or a vulnerable points. The word is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Mar’ which means to kill, highlighting that certain Marmani related to the heart, trache, head, navel, bladder and anus are so vital that damage can cause instant death.

Marma therapy is the art of stimulating the Marma points exactly at the right time, correct place for re channelization of energy, yielding better energy flow and optimum therapeutic effects at physical, psychological and spiritual levels.

This is a skill that is best learned from an expert. We are so happy to have Dr Shishir Prasad a true Ayurvedic master and guru of Marma Chikitsa.
His next course “Advance course in Marma therapy” is starting on the 27th of March 2021. An opportunity not to be missed.

Please see the course flyer for the schedule. A great course for anyone looking to learn practical skills that can be used at home and to improve your professional skills. Lots of hands on practical training given in the live sessions.

After having a wonderful journey to mother India, Lakshmi Ayurveda is open again to provide authentic Ayurvedic treatments for everyone looking to improve or promote their health.
While in India I have sourced more certified organic products such as bath powders, gum oil, copper vessels, neti pots as well as beautiful handcrafted bangles made in Jaipur and other parts of India.
The Panchakarma workshop was very informative and the Ayurveda congress in Bangalore was very well attended by Ayurveda physicians from India, Sri Lanka and across the globe.
I was very fortunate to have met Dr Mahadevan a BAMS Ayurvedic physician from Chennai who conducts intensive research in Vedic Neurology and Panchakarma. He is the author of several books for practitioners, students as well as beginners in Ayurveda. He writes with a timeless and uncomplicated clarity on the clinical medicine and imparts a simple yet profound message.
He has just published a new book this month about basti treatment and I was very humbled to have received his first copy.
All of Dr Mahadevan’s book are now available at Lakshmi Ayurveda. For any information please contact info@lakshmiayurveda.com.au
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and blessed 2011!

Massage is the first friend which serves the human organism from the time of birth. In India it is a tradition to massage the body from one’s very first day. The word Abhyanga is literally derived from the Sanskrit root -abhyani (abhi + anj), that means to anoint or smear.
Out of all sense the sense organ of touch is the most pervasive and it has in inseparable association with the mind. Hence the effect of massage is not only for controlling Vata dosha but it has its effect on the mind also. The Vata dosha is located in sparshnendriya (sense organ of touch), and this is located in the skin.
Massage has an overall effect on the immune system of the body and helps to maintain optimum health. If done regularly, massages helps to regulate body functions physically, mentally and spiritually.
Examples of oils used for Abhyanga are Ksheerabala taila, Vata/Pitta/Kapha taila and Mahanarayan taila.
The oils are carefully chosen after a consultation prior to the treatment.
