Early Times Report
Jammu, July 17: The Central Govt Pensioners' Welfare Association (CGPWA) organized a workshop-cum-interactive session on Holistic Healing and Marma Therapy for its members. Dr. Satish Gulvani from Arogya Yoga & Naturopathy Institute in Pune, who was the keynote speaker, shed light on the benefits of Marma Therapy, which is rooted in Indian civilization. Marma Therapy, a part of Ayurveda, focuses on maintaining health by clearing blocked energy. The term "Marma" derives from the Sanskrit word "Mrin Maranae," which means hidden or secret.
The session was presided over by the President of the Association, Kuldeep Khoda.
Dr. Gulvani, invited by the CGPWA to Jammu to share the benefits of Marma Therapy with the people, explained that the human body has 107 primary Marma points, although some scriptures mention 117. Additionally, there are many secondary Marma points. These points are located throughout the body, with 37 on the head and neck, 22 on each arm and lower extremity, and 12 on the chest and stomach. Marma points are junctions where different types of tissues, such as muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, or joints, meet. Extensive research, funded by the Central Government, is being conducted on this therapy, which does not involve the use of medicines.
Marma points correspond to the seven chakras, which are energy centers in the body. These points vary in size from one to six inches in diameter. Detailed mapping of these points can be found in the classic Ayurvedic text known as the Sushruta Samhita.
Dr. Gulvani explained that Marma Therapy involves gentle stimulation of the points to remove blockages, resulting in physical and psychological relaxation. It is a powerful process that works with subtle and sensitive energy. Through "nardi priksha" (pulse examination), the therapy opens the energy channels called "srothas" in the body. Gentle pressure on Marma points stimulates a chain of positive events, effectively treating various diseases, including chronic ones.
Upon the request of the Association, Dr. Gulvani will be staying in Jammu for approximately ten days. Patients can schedule appointments for free treatment with him through V. K Sambyal, a member of the Executive Committee of CGPWA and former Director of AIR Jammu, by contacting him at his mobile number 9682394196. Dr. Gulvani will be examining patients at the residence of Shri Sambyal, located at Jyotirpunj Ashram in village Chaalani, Majeen Panchayat, Aitham, near Tutan Di khui on Sidhra Surinsar road, after crossing the long bridge on Javata-Chalani Road. It is advisable to meet Dr. Gulvani on an empty stomach for proper diagnosis. |
