Marma Therapy: Acupressure Exchange for Restoration
Join Tanmayi for an evening of marma therapy to directly experience the depth of mystic acupressure points. The evening will begin with an introduction to marma and its context within Ayurveda. Then we will dive into consensual partner trades. Each partner will be guided step by step, giving a marma sequence as well as receiving a marma treatment.
Come with a partner or find a partner once you arrive!
Through gently pressing various points on the body, marma brings consciousness to the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of yourself. This presence has the ability to unfold significant change in your body through supporting prana, life energy, to flow freely.
Each marma point is a gateway into the opening of your mind carrying channel. It is a portal to open your inner pharmacy of healing. To release your own healing neurotransmitters and rest into theta brain waves and parasympathetic nervous system.
Each marma point works on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels by supporting specific organs, regions of the body and/or subdoshas (elements) while treating specific conditions.
This experience may be a nice taste tester for practitioners of massage, reiki, energy work or the such, who are curious about incorporating marma into their work.
All are welcome and encouraged to join, regardless of experience, though marma is best avoided during the first three days of menstruation or while pregnant.
