Marma Points The Mystical Doors of Perception In ancient Vedic times, marma points were called bindu-a dot, secret dot or mystic point. Like a door or pathway, activating a marma point opens into the inner pharmacy of the body. The body is a silent, universal, biochemical laboratory operating every moment to interpret and transform arising events. Touching a marma point changes the body's biochemistry and can unfold radical, alchemical change in one s makeup. Stimulation of these inner pharmacy pathways signals the body to produce exactly what it needs, including hormones and neurochemicals that heal the body, mind and consciousness. This deep dimension of marma therapy has the potential to unfold spiritual healing. Marma points are an important element of Ayurveda's healing power. Developed in India centuries ago, these energy points profoundly affect the body, mind and spirit and facilitate the deepest levels of healing. Prana is the current of energy that infuses every cell within the body. Stimulating marmani (energy points) directly taps into this reservoir of energy and promotes health. This work is the first of its kind to systematically present all 117 marmani according to their individual energetics and to compare them with the Chinese system of acupuncture points. Detailed commentaries for each marma shed light on their diagnostic and therapeutic scope. Marma therapy integrates vital knowledge of the energy points with specific techniques of Ayurvedic massage, detoxification, acupressure, aromatherapy, yoga practices, meditation and more. This book is a valuable resource for Ayurvedic practitioners and acupuncturists as well as medical doctors, massage therapists and yoga therapists. It also serves as a foundation to develop tools for one's own self-healing and for students of various medical systems who are motivated to pursue a holistic approach to health.

Excellent! A valuable resource book for anyone studying marma points. The subject is broken down into easy to understand sections that are designed as quick reference or revision notes and there is additional information throughout the book. I bought the hardback version so that it would last longer and I'm glad I did - the pages will be well thumbed by the time I've finished with it!

Espectacular
Muy buen libro. Leí previamente el libro de otro autor sobre puntos marma que me dejó con dudas sobre la "localización exacta" de algunos puntos marma y me las he aclarado con este. Es un libro súper interesante, completo, lleno de fotos y a color. Parece un libro de texto de colegio, es grande (tamaño folio), de verdad, para quien le interese el tema de los puntos marma este libro/autor es muy bueno. También da mucha información complementaria, y hace una relación directa entre los puntos marma y los puntos de acupuntura que son cercanos o coinciden, lo cual también da mucha información extra, tanto para su localización, como para sus funciones. Una maravilla de libro. Lo único malo es lo de que esté en inglés y no lo hayan traducido aún al español. La verdad que no tiene un nivel muy alto de inglés, pero si se necesita más o menos un nivel medio tirando a alto como para que se te haga soportable leerlo en inglés. Yo me considero nivel medio/alto y busco en el diccionario una media de 9 palabras por hoja. Entiendo que esto ya depende del interés del lector, yo no creo que pudiera hacer esto mismo con otros libros, pero este me tiene lo suficientemente enganchada como para tener la paciencia de hacerlo. En resumen, para mi es muy buen libro.
