JAMMU, July 17: The Central Government Pensioners’ Welfare Association (CGPWA), Jammu today organized a workshop-cum-interactive session on Holistic Healing and Marma Therapy for its members.
The keynote speaker of the workshop, Dr Satish Gulvani of Arogya Yoga and Naturopathy Institute, Pune, explained the benefits of the Marma Therapy which has roots in Indian civilization. He said, “Marma Therapy is a part of Ayurveda that helps to maintain health by cleansing blocked energy. The word Marma has Sanskrit origin ‘Mrin Maranae’ which means hidden or secret.”
Dr Gulvani apprised the members that the human body has 107 primary Marma Points but in some scriptures these are 117. There are many secondary Marma points also, he explained. “Marma points correspond to seven chakras which are energy centres of the body. These points range in sizes of one to six inches in diameter. These points are mapped out in detail in the classic Ayurvedic text known as the Sushruta Samhita,” he further informed.
Under this therapy, he said, a very light stimulation of points is done to remove blockages from the Marma points that would give physical and psychological relaxation. It is a powerful process and the therapy works with subtle and sensitive energy and on ‘nardi priksha’ (pulse examination) the energy channels in the body called ‘srothas’ are opened. Marma points, when gently pressed on the skin, can stimulate a chain of positive events. In this manner, all diseases including chronic ones, are treated effectively.
On the request of the Association, Dr Gulvani is staying at Jammu for about ten days and patients can fix appointments for free treatment with him through VK Sambyal (member, executive committee, CGPWA). Dr Gulvani would be examining patients at the residence of VK Sambyal at Jyotirpunj Ashram, village Chaalani, Majeen Panchayat, Aitham, near Tutan Di khui on Sidhra-Surinsar road.
