These energy points are also referred to as Marma Points, where the vital energy or prana resides in our body. Due to the disturbance caused in these vital spots, our body faces the occurrence of many diseases such as pain, oedema spreading to other parts.

According to Sankhya, a Hindu philosophy on creation, there are two kinds of minds, one is vibhu, that is the universal mind and second is anu, the individual mind. The universal mind is infinitely at peace, vast and unbounded, while the normal mind is conditioned through our thoughts, emotions and feelings stored in our memory. The more the individual mind fails to be aligned with the universal mind, the more humans suffer. Through the Marma healing process, one can feel more centered, calm and connected with their inner self. In addition, it can help you bring clarity to the mind and create compassion within you as a person.
