Maharishi and the Law Professor

After the last AMA (Ask Me Anything) session for Members of the Marmas of the Moon, several people told me that it had changed the way they did their daily self-treatment. They realised what ‘light touch’ really means and found that their experiences improved as a result. People are always telling us to ‘try harder, work more, put more effort into it’. And there can be a tendency to apply this mindset to Marma treatments – they’re so wonderful when they’re done gently, so perhaps they would be even more wonderful if I just pushed a bit?! This can be counterproductive. It reminded me of a wonderful story that Maharishi, the great Vedic scholar and teacher, told about a student. Maharishi had taught Transcendental Meditation (TM) to this very intelligent man (a Law Professor) and, after about 10 days, asked him how he was getting on with his TM practice. The professor replied that everything went very well for the first week, and then the benefits stopped. He asked Maharishi if this was a technique that only worked for a week?! Maharishi asked him if he had added anything to the simple, natural TM technique he had been taught. The professor answered that, as the results in the first few days were so wonderful, and the process had been so effortless, he had the idea that, with a bit of effort, he could make it even more effective. So he tried harder. And then the benefits tailed off. Maharishi then reminded him of the effortlessness of the technique. Sukshma Marma treatment, including the Marmas of the Moon self-treatment, is also simple, natural and effortless. No effort, pressure, or trying is required. We just do the circles simply, effortlessly, and then rest a moment. As Maharishi said another time, also about TM: ‘No anticipation, no expectation of any results!’ This approach will yield the best outcomes. Please let me know if this is helpful – thank you!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
There’s a special Marma treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I was very surprised when my Marma teacher Dr Ernst Schrott told us about it. Surprised, and a bit sceptical. I was used to Marma treatments bringing about profound relaxation, but improvements in a condition as specific as CTS?

But then I went to a well-being fair to give Marma taster treatments. I was busy all day but just before the fair closed, one of the stallholders came up to me. Would I give a treatment to her husband, who was suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and had been for some time?

Although it was the end of the afternoon session, I fitted him in. I just followed the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome protocol that Dr Schrott had taught us. The treatment doesn’t take long. I had one request for the client – could you let me know if there is any change? Then I waited.

And waited. Days passed and I sent a message to ask how he was getting on. No answer. Then I saw his wife at another well-being fair and asked about her husband’s CTS. She said it had completely gone after the treatment.

It’s an interesting thing: once our pain has gone, we often lose all interest in and memory of a problem that may have troubled us for years! We just want to get on with our lives.

Sometimes it needs more than one treatment. A client came for a treatment because her right shoulder was hurting. It had been painful for some months. The first treatment reduced the pain a lot, and then she mentioned that she had numbness in the fingers of the right hand.

So I also did the CTS treatment for her, and later taught her how to do it for herself at home. I recommended doing it daily.

She did it for a couple of days and found the numbness receded, so she stopped doing the self-treatment. A little bit of numbness continued and I suggested she do the treatment daily for a while. Then she told me that it had gone away completely.

Oh, and the shoulder pain was completely gone after a second treatment, too.

Over the past week I received some wonderful Marma experiences.

What was unusual was that they covered not just the usual in person treatments here in the Studio, but also 5-minute Marma taster treatments, Distance Treatments, self Marma treatments (using the daily Marmas of the Moon mailings) and even the results of trainee Marma therapists carrying out case studies on family and friends.

The results are amazing and just highlight the basic principle in Marma Therapy: do the treatment innocently, without any expectations, and this creates a situation where Nature can heal. And when Nature heals, this is the kind of thing that happens:

– following a single one-hour treatment, a client with heart issues reported: ‘I would like you to know that since my treatment with you my heart has been much better and the occurrences of atrial fibrillation have reduced considerably to the extent that I don’t think that I have had one since the middle of December. My heart rate also seems to be much more under control. This is absolutely wonderful for me so thank you and to all those that work with you.’

– after distance treatment, a man with painful knees wrote: ‘I hope you remember me? You did a distance session for my knees. They’re still pain free. It’s delightful and astonishing.’

Taster treatments
– on a recent ‘Introduction to Marma Therapy’ workshop I did 5-minute Marma taster treatments for 2 of the course participants who hadn’t experienced Marma therapy before. Even though the procedure was almost identical for all 2, the experiences were very different:

– the first person, who’d had a fall a week earlier and had cut and bruised her face, said that she could feel the trauma of the fall lifting from her, and that she felt much more connected with herself;

– the second person, who was quite sceptical about Marma therapy and had injured his big toe some time ago and it hadn’t healed said that, after that short treatment, the toe felt much better. A couple of days later when I spoke to him he confirmed that the toe was still pain-free and his partner said that its colour was now the same as the other big toe, no longer looking red and inflamed;

Marmas of the Moon – self-treatment
– the next experience was from Marma self-treatment. After practising self-treatment using the daily Marmas of the Moon mailings, a couple reported: ‘We both find it calming both emotionally and physically. I am not a great morning person; I quite often wake in a dark place and can still feel rough after [morning meditation] and the Marma Therapy has been most helpful in smoothing this out and bringing stillness and peace.’ He added that his wife:’ has found it likewise calming and peaceful and that it’s helpful with her backache.’

So, wherever you are in the world, if you would like to experience Marma therapy for yourself, or would just like to know more about it, please let me know!

What is Marma Therapy – I’ve never heard of it!
When someone says this to me – and a lot of people do! – I say: have you heard of acupuncture or acupressure? ‘Of course’ ‘Well, Marma Therapy has the same understanding, which is that in addition to the physical body, we also have an energy body, with energy flowing through.’

Traditional Chinese Medicine uses the word ‘meridians’ to describe the channels where the energy flows. Ayurveda – which is where Marma therapy comes from – uses the word Nadis, but it’s the same idea. Ayurveda tells us there are some 72,000 of these channels, and that they converge on specific points on the body. These are the Marma points. This is why the Marmas are so useful in treating patients.

Sometimes the channels, or Nadis, get blocked, and when they are blocked, then the energy can’t flow freely. This can result in physical or emotional symptoms. What we do in Sukshma Marma Therapy is to enliven the energy that is already there, and when the energy is enlivened, then it starts flowing again and releases the blockages.

Gentleness is the key
And how do we treat the Marmas? Very carefully and tenderly! In Sukshma Marma Therapy we don’t use needles, we don’t use pressure, we don’t tap, it’s just a very gentle massage treatment using wonderful blends of essential oils. The gentleness is the key!

When you treat the Marmas gently, they and the whole physiology just relax and open up – and the result is that people relax very deeply very quickly.

When the body relaxes, it heals – it’s what the body does when it has an opportunity to rest. This deep relaxation in itself is profoundly healing. In addition, each Marma has a special connection to a specific organ or organ system or joint. We use this knowledge to treat specific Marmas in a specific order in order to bring about specific therapeutic effects, like easing back pain, reducing shoulder pain, sinusitis, headaches, emotional issues, so many different conditions.

So Sukshma Marma treatments are delightful in themselves and also very helpful in a range of conditions. To find out more, book a treatment or contact me for more information.

Enjoying traffic in India: tailgating, overtaking on both sides, swerving in and out of lanes, hooting constantly to let people know you want to overtake them – that would lose you your driving licence in the UK.

In India, it’s the norm, in fact many vehicles have the words ‘Sound Horn’ painted on their backs to encourage overtaking drivers to let them know they are there. And somehow everyone seems to get on – cyclists, motorcyclists, tuk-tuks, taxis, vans, trucks and the supreme beings on the roads: buses. All travelling at different speeds, weaving in and out. And it all seems to work.

And of course, if there’s no one coming the other way, that’s a great opportunity to use the full width of the road. So you might be barrelling along a two-lane road and then you notice that, in front of you, coming towards you, a bus has decided to overtake a lorry.

How I have learned to deal with such moments: no screaming, no ‘brace, brace, brace’, just close the eyes and … keep them closed.

Riding pillion
I also had one other, very different, traffic experience. I wanted to have a Vedic ceremony for my family members who have passed away. It was a beautiful and emotional ceremony, even for the celebrant, as at one point he had to stop because he was overcome with emotion!

The ceremony involved offerings of rice, ghee, mustard seeds, flowers and grasses and, at one point, I had to take some of the offerings, hold them up to the sun, and then put them in flowing water. But there wasn’t any flowing water near the temple! So the pandit offered his scooter and suggested that my friend Chandraprakash drive me there. So that’s what happened – dressed only in a folded up dhoti (no crash helmet, actually no shirt either) I rode pillion on the scooter, holding on for dear life with one hand, clutching the offerings wrapped in a banana leaf in the other.

As we drove there and back through the morning traffic, I realised that no one seemed to be paying us any attention – this was completely acceptable road etiquette.

I realised I was enjoying traffic in India.

We’re much more than we think we are!
We’re so much more than we think we are! On my first Marma course, we were learning the brilliant Sukshma Marma Therapy scar treatment with Dr Schrott. He held his hand over the scar on the leg of a course participant who was lying on the massage table, moved it along the scar – still in the air, not touching the skin – from one end to the other and back again. He did this a couple of times. Then he turned round and asked us: ‘Which direction felt easier than the other – which was more like stroking a cat in the right direction, and which felt like the wrong way?’

We all picked the same direction. What? What had just happened? We had all felt that one direction seemed to flow more easily, and that the hand was experiencing some resistance when going in the other direction.

But that’s not possible, is it? We did this repeatedly and almost always there was agreement about the direction of the energy flow. Now that I train new Marma Therapists, I ask the same question of my students. They too feel the energy flow. Even if they’ve never done it before.

How many more abilities do we have that we don’t know about? At a meeting some years ago, we were given blank A4 sheets of paper. Then we were paired up and told to draw something relevant to the other person – but without speaking to them.

How on earth do you do that? I panicked and just – started to doodle. One of my default doodles since school was a simple aircraft. So that’s what I drew. When I finished the plane I drew some mountains behind it. Then I thought it would be nice to have a lake … and then some buildings.

When the time for the exercise was up, we had to swap pages. I felt very embarrassed by my effort but handed over the doodling. My partner looked a bit shocked. She said that this was exactly the place she was going in a few day’s time for her family holiday. Mountains behind, a lake on the right, buildings to the left. I had put in one building too many, that was all.

A friend of mine ‘sees’ points on the body that need attention. Another friend can feel where there are blockages in the body and is able to help resolve them by gentle manipulation.

All of this reminds me of the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland saying: ‘Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.’

Sukshma Marma Therapy seems to fall into this area of – how is that even possible? How does something so simple have such profound effects? It doesn’t even need to be done by the therapist, even self-treatment can be very effective.

In addition to giving Sukshma Marma treatments in person, I also teach Marma self-treatment procedures to clients, sometimes in person, sometimes online – this includes the Marmas of the Moon, of course.

The procedures involve simple movements interspersed with moments of rest over specific energy points, or Marmas on the body. And – it works! People with bladder / prostate issues report that they don’t have to get up so many times in the night. Clients with carpal tunnel syndrome say the numbness in their fingers recedes. People with emotional issues say they feel happier.

My conclusion: we are much more than we think we are and we can do much more than we think we can. AI technology is all the rage now, but we’re probably capable of doing most things that AI does, but naturally, and in a more integrated and life-supporting way. We just need to expand our horizons.

The great Vedic scholar, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, said ‘individual potential of life is cosmic potential’ and he also said ‘Marmas are the cosmic switchboards in the human body’. By connecting with the cosmic value of life through the Marmas, horizons naturally expand.

What Are the Marmas of the Moon?
Following a family funeral in Taunton, we spent a morning in Wells. In the cathedral I saw a clock dating back to 1380 (yes, 1380! -see the photo) and noticed it showed the phase of the moon on that day. It’s been doing that for nearly 700 years. It turns out the moon is more important to us than we thought. And it made me think of the Marmas of the Moon.

We all know that we are totally dependent on ‘Mother’ Earth – without the air, water, earth, plants and animals that our planet provides, we wouldn’t be here. Also, without the warmth and light of the sun, there would be no plants, no weather, no seasons, no light. So it’s common knowledge that we are strongly affected by these two heavenly bodies.

What’s less well known is that the Moon affects us, too. In quite a detailed way. This was recorded centuries ago in South India, in traditional knowledge written on palm leaves.

As the Moon travels through the lunar month, it ‘lights up’ certain energy points, or Marmas, on the body. Treating the Marma that is ‘lit up’ on that day is particularly beneficial – and you can do it for yourself. I’ll explain how in a minute.

It’s helpful both for the specific issues connected with that Marma, and also for increasing energy, vitality, health and wellbeing in the physiology as a whole.

Revival of Knowledge
It was my brilliant Marma teacher, Dr Ernst Schrott, who gathered information about the Marmas of the Moon and put it in his book ‘Marma Therapy‘. And on therapist training courses he would encourage us to treat the Marmas of the Moon in sequence for ourselves – and all it took was 3 to 5 minutes a day.

Many of us started treating the Marmas of the Moon in this way, but we came across a problem. It was difficult to keep track of the correct Marma to treat on a particular day. This is because the lunar month and the calendar month are not the same.

In addition, the irregularity of the Moon’s orbit round the Earth and the Earth’s orbit round the Sun means that sometimes there can be 13 days between New Moon and Full Moon, sometimes 14, sometimes 15 and sometimes even 16. How can we keep track of this in our busy lives?

So the knowledge of the Marmas of the Moon has remained largely unused. Then, in December 2023, this wonderful thought dropped in: why not use computer technology to provide interested people with a daily notification email?

It would just give some simple information: which Marma to be treated on that day, where the Marma is located on the body, how to treat it for yourself and the value of that treatment. And voilà – anyone in the world can benefit daily from Marma Therapy!

I was so taken with this idea that I had to write it down immediately, and discussed it with my brilliant business/marketing adviser. Somehow, we managed to start sending out the Marmas of the Moon reminder emails within a few days.

And This is What People Said
This is just a small selection of the wonderful feedback we’ve received;

“Thank you Marek. This is wonderful. Not only very relaxing and grounding but ….. I have a horrible cold with nose blocked and it won’t stop running. Whilst massaging my big left toe my nose totally cleared and stayed that way for quite some time. I thought this may be a co-incidence as I had also just taken a paracetamol. But ..… half an hour later when not quite so clear again, I massaged again and yes …..”

“I had a wonderful experience with Talahridaya of the foot just now. At first, I felt like it seemed to enliven everywhere in my body – like shooting stars of energy zooming about. After a couple of minutes, it felt like there was a cone shape of energy emanating from the point and I found myself wanting to do the circles a fraction above the skin, then a fraction higher as the energy grew. When I stopped, I felt as if my whole energy body was vibrating.”

“What a lovely start to the day.”

“Wow, does exactly as it says on the tin. My mind and body all completely changed, bringing a calm, positive and very different, open frame of mind with a relaxed revitalised energy to my body.”

Try the Marmas of the Moon for Yourself
Whether you like the idea of investing 3 to 5 minutes a day doing something positive to promote your energy, vitality, general health and wellbeing – or whether you’re facing any specific health challenges you’d like some help with – don’t take my word about the wonderful benefits you could enjoy by treating the Marmas of the Moon

Scar treatment in Pakistan

Scar treatments are fascinating! I recently taught someone in Pakistan how to do a scar treatment for scars on the head and face of his younger brother using the wonderful Ropana oil blend. He sent me a report after giving his brother a short treatment each day for a week. Here are some excerpts:

‘I’ll try to keep this very short, but the experiences are very interesting. I’ll tell it to you in three categories: one is the feeling that I have while doing it ; the second is what my brother says, and the third is the physical appearance of the scars.

While doing it on myself, the first day that I did it, I felt very blissful. As soon as I did it I started to feel some sensations in other parts of my body, something along my toes, some feeling of energy flowing.

When I’m doing it for my brother, he feels very happy, he feels very light and he starts to giggle and he comes to me every day, and he says that you know we have to put on the oil. It really comes out of him from a great happiness and he loves the smell of it, he always wants to smell the oil before I put it on him.

I overheard him telling some other family member: do you feel hurt in the body, my brother has this oil and he’ll do something and it will make you feel very good. He’s four, so it’s very interesting to hear that he feels very good while it’s being done.

And the physical appearance of the scars?
The physical appearance of the scars: the gash on his forehead, it looks more like skin now; there’s still a gash but it’s more like skin and an indent you know a bump rather than a gash.’

He also treated some of his own scars: ’there’s some oil left over on the hand at the end … so I rub it on the back of my right hand where there’s also a scar and that scar has really blended in with the rest of the skin now. To the extent that now I have to sort of look at it and I’m like there it is and it’s more of a mark now, instead of a scar. Which is very interesting and of course I’m not properly treating it because it’s the back of my hand.

And on my chin I have a scrape: I fell down and scraped my chin on a road, dirt and gravel and stone road in 2012. And, there’s that small patch like a line where hair doesn’t grow. If I have a beard, then of course it comes over it, and if I shave then you can’t see, but you know the little hair that you have in the morning it’s very clear that there’s a patch Now that patch has gone, hair is now growing on it which is amazing.’

After the second week he wrote: ‘Physically the one on his [brother’s] head shows a lot of improvement; not at all as noticeable now. Perhaps the one on the face is a bit more ‘tough’ but I think it’s getting softer too.

Orientation Mudra – Finding your way with your fingers
A client told me recently that she didn’t know what she should do next. She wanted to be of service, helping people – she was a therapist – but every time she thought of taking on more clients for her massage practice, she started having pains in the back. That’s just from thinking about it! So what could she do?

That’s when I remembered a brilliant simple technique – the Orientation Mudra – that the wonderful Dr Schrott taught us during our Sukshma Marma training courses. And it also appears in his book ‘Marma Therapy’.

Dr Schrott appreciated simple methods to improve our lives that anyone can do, and had come across a number of ‘Mudras’ – positions in which we can hold our fingers – that have specific effects.

The Mudra illustrated above is for orientation – it ‘helps you find your way’. It has other side-benefits: helping with mental relaxation and concentration, and even strengthens the back. All these effects come as a result of the Marmas that are affected and strengthened during the Mudra practice.

It involves stretching the index finger forward and the thumb upward. And stretching the other three fingers at a right angle. As Dr Schrott pointed out in his book ‘Marma Therapy’ ‘The hand now projects the three directions in space’. And you can do this with both hands for 5 minutes twice daily.

And what did my client say? She wrote after a few days: ‘by orientation mudra (is that the hand positions we photographed you doing and asking for guidance?) … if so … it’s certainly worked 🤩👍🏼Thanknyou.x’

I’ve tried it myself and found it useful. If you feel the need, you could try it for a few days. I’d love to hear how you get on – please let me know! Thank you.

Families Benefit from Sukshma Marma Therapy
Do you know any families with difficult teenagers? A colleague told me about her wonderful teenage daughter. She had been a sweet and loving child, but had become much more distant and contrary when the teenage hormones kicked in. Of course my colleague understood the process of change that was taking place. Even so, she really missed the wonderful connection she had had with her daughter in the past.

She then had some Marma treatments – and I should explain that she’s a gifted and conscientious therapist herself, so she knows of what she speaks! She commented that she doesn’t allow many people to treat her. This is because she finds herself – as a therapist – noticing and analysing the movements that the therapist is making. But she found that during Sukshma Marma treatments, her body naturally went into a state of deep rest. Also her mind just went off somewhere wonderful, and various physical and emotional issues resolved.

So, naturally, she wanted to learn more about this technique and signed up first for the one-day ‘Introduction to Marma Therapy’ workshop (https://lnkd.in/e8-gb7Cs). Then she attended the three weekend blocks of Marma Therapist training. At this point, the motivation was purely to learn the technique for her own personal and professional development.

As part of the course, she learned a wonderful back treatment. It’s delightful to experience, profoundly relaxing, and enormously helpful in resolving or easing a variety of back issues. Also, as part of her course, she needed to do several case studies, so she offered a treatment to her daughter. Her daughter absolutely loved it, and now regularly enjoys treatments. This helped to restore the wonderful mother-daughter connection.

My colleague said that the time and money invested in learning the technique would have been worth it just for the extraordinary change in family dynamics brought about by doing the back treatment for her daughter.

P.S. Her clients absolutely love Marma Therapy treatments, too!
