We are energy.

When we are feeling healthy and emotionally balanced, the energy flows freely.

When the energy is blocked, we may experience physical pain and emotional distress.

Prana (life force) infuses every cell in our body. We can tap into this energy to restore balance - physically and emotionally.

Ayurveda has mapped out a path of energy channels in the body along with related points (marma points) that can be activated to restore energy flow.

The map is very similar to the Chinese acupuncture system of meridians. In Marma therapy you press the points with your fingers instead of inserting needles.

You can do it on yourself for immediate results!

Usually there is a sequence of Marma points to press to restore the energy flow. But if you press somewhere and it feels sensitive, it's likely an energetic block.
