Marma Points of Sushruta the foundation of Modern Kinesiology

More about the book

Marma explores the concept of lighted consciousness that permeates all humans, influencing thoughts, emotions, nerves, and tissues. This flow can be disrupted by five factors: lifestyle, upbringing, perceived notions, relationships, and personal values, leading to various ailments such as illness, pain, grief, guilt, fear, and weakness. Marma Chikitsa, or Therapy, is an innovative approach aimed at restoring balance to the light body, drawing on ancient wisdom while being rediscovered in modern times. Unlike contemporary views that focus on anatomy as mere physical structures, ancient practices regarded the body as a radiant consciousness. Healing techniques included Meditation, Massage, Showering, Walking, soft Touch, Pranayama, and Yoga. The text includes a detailed list of marma points in the thigh and lower anatomy, highlighting their significance and corresponding points in the arms. This work presents the Marma section from the Sushruta Samhita, offering straightforward methods to achieve optimal health and fitness. It features full-color plates and charts for all 107 marma points, providing a comprehensive guide for readers seeking to enhance their well-being.
