JAMMU: The Central Govt pensioners’ Welfare Association (CGPWA), Jammu on Monday organised a Workshop- cum-Interactive session on Holistic Healing and Marma Therapy for its members.
Dr. Satish Gulvani of Arogya Yoga & Naturopathy Institute, Pune, who was the keynote speaker, explained the benefits of the Marma Therapy which has roots in Indian civilization.
It 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.
The President of the Association, Kuldeep Khoda presided over the session.
Dr Gulvani, who is invited by the CGPWA to Jammu to benefit people of Jammu, 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. These Marma points cover the front back of the body. Thirty-seven points are on the head and neck, 22 each are on the arm and lower extremities and 12 on the chest & stomach. These points are junctures on the body where two or more types of tissues meet like muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, or joints. Lot of research, funded by the Central Govt also, is being conducted on this Therapy where no medicines are given.
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.
Dr. Gulvani explained under this therapy, 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 & 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 put at Jammu for about ten days and patients can fix appointments for free treatment with him through V. K Sambyal, member Executive Committee, CGPWA and former Director AIR Jammu on his mobile number 9682394196.
Dr. Gulvani would be examining patients at the residence of Shri Sambyal, at Jyotirpunj Ashram, village Chaalani, Majeen Panchayat, Aitham, near Tutan Di khui on Sidhra Surinsar road cross long bridge on Javata -Chalani Road. Meeting Dr. Gulvani empty stomach would be desirable for proper diagnosis.
Kuldeep Khoda thanked Dr. Gulvani for acceding to the request of the CGPWA’s request to come to Jammu and extend benefits of this old therapy to the people of Jammu.
