Marma

Marma is the vital point over the body. Ayurveda believes that these Marmas are the points through which the positive prana (vital energy) flows. Marma Points (vital energy points) are positions on the body where flesh, veins, arteries, tendons, bones and joints meet. Marma Points are also junctions where Vata, Pitta and Kapha elements meet. Marma points are the acupuncture points in the feet and are worked with the fingertips to release Prana and restore energetic flow.

The major Marma Points correspond to the chakras. The minor Marma Points are found around the torso and limbs thus healing through marma affect the chakras, physical health and the doshas. Marmas are points which have great importance to a person's mind, body and spirit. By stimulating these Marma points we can adjust the vital energy.
