Marma
Shastra is an ancient art of healing before Ayurvedic time.
Maha Rishi Agasthya described 108 energy amplification points in the
human body which are directly connected to the chakra system to facilitate the
circulation of vital force energy all over the body. These points are
known as Marma points. These
points direct
and control Prana to the functional level of the body. Our finger tips which are used to point the way, discharge a great deal of energy. In Marma Shastra, finger tips are used to channel energy from the chakra system through the Marma points. There are many miracles related to the sensation of touching, and the transference of energy through the fingertips from one man to another. Many modern drugs while easing the symptoms, without
eradicating the disease, produce many side effects. The patient already
crippled with induced chronic side effects can turn to Marmaki for relief. Many people come to the
Marmaki Center after
modern medicine has 'given up' on them. They are more often searching for miracle
cures and are goaded by sensational reports
of successful healings. Ayurveda comes from Sanskrit words Ayur and Veda. The word Ayur means life and the word Veda means knowing. Therefore the word Aurveda can be interpreted as Knowledge of Life (Science of Life). This knowledge is documented in four Vedas, known as Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, and Atharva Veda. Ayurveda was primarily developed from Atharva Veda. The Ayurveda focuses on internal body/mind medicine as well as surgical techniques. Pancha Karma (Five Principles) is the core of Ayurvedic healing therapy used to promote health. Rejuvenation and virilization are also part of Ayurvedic healing therapy. Ayurvedic massage was developed along with Kalari Ppayattu (a form of martial arts widely practiced in Kerala) to enhance the health of early warriors. The knowledge of Marma Points, muscles, nerves, blood vessels, joints, ligaments, and bones is essential for the Ayurvedic Massage.
Reiki
(pronounced ray-key) is a healing system thousands of years old. It is
considered to be an old Tibetan Buddhist practice that was rediscovered in the
late1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist. It is a very simple yet
powerful technique that can be easily learned by anyone. Rei
means universal light/spiritual/God Consciousness, which is all knowing. It knows the cause of all problems and
difficulties and knows what to do to heal them Ki
is the life force (same as Prana or Chi). It is also called the vital life force
or the universal life force. This is the nonphysical energy that animates all
living things. As long as something is alive, it has life force circulating
through it and its surrounding. When it dies, the life force departs. If your
life force is low, or if there is a restriction in its flow, you will be more
vulnerable to illness. When it is high, and Flowing freely, you are less likely
to get sick. Life force plays an important role in everything we do. It animates
the body and also is the primary energy
of our emotions, thoughts and
spiritual life. Therefore,
Reiki can be defined as spiritually guided life force energy that is channeled
into the body to facilitate healing. |
