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

Take advantage of our 30 Day Free Trial and experience the wonderful benefits of daily self-treatment of these special Marmas for yourself. You’ll be so pleased you did.

All you need to do is register here and you’ll start receiving your own daily reminders straight away. Alternatively, just send me a message and I can set up your free trial for you. I look forward to hearing from you. Our thanks to Dr Ernst Schrott for bringing out this wonderful knowledge that anyone in the world can use.

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!

Clients Describe Experiences of Bliss During Marma Treatments
Clients generally come because of some specific issue, or for the deep relaxation. But, in addition to those benefits, some people experience more. Here are some examples of delightful experiences of bliss:

‘Wow! Amazing! Just lovely. Pure, sheer bliss!’

‘My treatment was so blissful, and so profound in its effects. I could feel the healing and revitalising effect of it travelling blissfully to all the parts of my body, and felt knots being released. It’s so extraordinary that such subtle, delicate touches can bring this depth of holistic enlivenment and transformation.’

‘Thank you ever so much. It was a wonderfully blissful experience.’

‘Thank you so much for the blissful treatment. I feel my fussy Vata calmed down. You have a real gift.’

‘Wow, that was the most relaxed I’ve ever ever been having any kind of treatment. Hearing the birds, the blinds knocking against the windows, it was so blissful, so blissful… I’ve never ever felt so relaxed in my life … and just within a few minutes.’

‘Bliss! That was heavenly’

‘Wow, that is quite spectacular! Kind of half-meditative state all through. That’s amazing, Marek, I didn’t expect it to be so special. Now, I just feel bliss.’

‘My treatments from you have always been incredible but yesterday’s experience was wholly beyond words and, as I said, utterly blissful. Thank you with all my heart.’

‘Monday was simply extraordinary: it was so, so deep and so, so beautiful that it is impossible to describe with words. I veritably floated home, feeling like the world was now a place of complete peace, harmony and joy – blissful!

‘Don’t want to break the bliss with talking. Went into bliss, into more bliss.. That was very powerful. Amazing, just amazing!’

Of course, not everyone experiences ‘bliss’, but it’s surprising just how many clients do use that word.

For more information or to book a treatment, please contact [email protected] or message 07946 386290. I look forward to hearing from you.

How many Marma treatments will I need?

Years ago, before I knew about Marma Therapy, I had a slipped disc. Yes, I know, I shouldn’t have done handstands in the swimming pool. The pain was excruciating and I started having massage treatments in addition of course to taking pain medication. First of all, I had a massage treatment each day, and then weekly for six months. Each week I would feel some improvement but getting better took a long, long time. (Dancing helped!)

The effects of Marma Therapy can be immediate
Results from Marma Therapy tend to be much quicker. Often, a back problem can resolve with a single treatment. Sometimes two or three treatments are needed. And if the problem is very long-standing or severe, a series of treatments may be required.

After the first treatment I say to clients: if you find this helpful but the problem is not completely resolved, book another appointment.

One lady with a back problem said after just a single treatment: ‘I feel I’ve got a new back’. Another client did not even need a full treatment, A simple one-minute treatment while standing was sufficient to release the muscle spasm.

A third client with long-term back problems needed daily treatments for a while, but commented: ‘My back’s getting better by leaps and bounds, thanks to the miracle treatments’

A couple of weeks ago a client came with pain in the shoulder and neck and some numbness in the fingers. After two treatments she said that 95% of the pain had gone and all that remained was occasional numbness in the fingers. I taught her a simple procedure to do at home and she reported that this dealt with the issue.

A client who had an accident and lost her sense of taste and smell had a short (15 minute) taster treatment and then a full treatment and reported that taste and smell had returned.

Someone with a long-standing headache came for two treatments and reported that 90% of the pain had gone.

And if you don’t have problems?
This is where Marma Therapy gets even more interesting. Since the network of Marmas connects with ‘Atma’, the inner Self, treatments are wonderfully relaxing and blissful in themselves. This makes them balancing and delightful. So clients also come for regular treatments, once or twice a month, just for the blissful relaxation of the treatment and for the well-being they experience afterwards. One person commented: ‘As ever, thank you for a beautiful treatment on Friday in your safe, warm haven. Of course, I felt amazing afterwards and have continued to float through the weekend.’

Help with headaches
Who hasn’t had a headache? Headaches are just a part of life for many people. In fact, the World Health Organisation estimates that between half and three-quarters of the world’s population suffers from headaches. Many people need help with headaches.

There are many different causes, including stress, eye-strain, sinusitis, eating something that doesn’t agree with us, dehydration, tiredness, hormones or even too much partying.

Marma therapy offers a range of treatments that can help. First of all, it’s profoundly relaxing – many people say the experience is more relaxing than anything they had tried before [Deep Relaxation] This relaxation reduces stress which in turn reduces headaches. One client reported that a long-standing headache had reduced by 80% after just one treatment.

There is also a specific treatment to relax and enliven the eyes – this is very beneficial for those who spend a lot of time in front of the computer or other screens – and these days, who doesn’t?

Marma Therapy comes from Ayurveda, which provides useful, practical nutritional recommendations that can also help reduce headaches triggered by poor food choices.

There is a treatment for the sinuses, too. This can help with headaches caused by sinusitis. A client was delighted when her sinusitis headache eased after a brief treatment. Her comment: ‘Miraculous!’

Another client said: ‘That was fabulous! I had a headache for 3 weeks and now it’s gone.’

And another said: ‘That was lovely, just wonderful. I feel different now, more settled. The headache has eased’.

And a hangover headache? Well, no promises there, but one client who came for a short treatment said: ‘I had a [hangover] headache when I came here – now it’s gone. Result!’

For more information or to book a treatment, please contact [email protected] or message 07946 386290. I look forward to hearing from you.

Brilliant Marma Therapy Sleep Protocol
Problems Getting To Sleep – Or Staying Asleep?
Or Do You Suffer From Anxiety or Panic Attacks?
This Marma Therapy Sleep Protocol May Help

During the pandemic, Dr Schrott taught us a beautiful and simple Marma Therapy Sleep Protocol (also known as the Nava Marma Mudra) for calming the nervous system, which is perfect for helping with sleep issues, and even strengthening immunity. It takes just 3-5 minutes to practise and anyone can do it.

I have taught it to many people since then, with some wonderful results. People report that they get to sleep more easily and have a better quality of sleep.

One person reported that her FitBit had confirmed the improvement in her sleep pattern, showing deeper sleep after she began practising the technique.

A mother uses it to help her son get to sleep when he is particularly restless (he has ADHD).

Other people have used the technique when experiencing anxiety or panic attacks, and have felt calmer and more settled, as a result.

If you would like to learn this simple technique, instruction is available online and takes just 20-30 minutes, and the cost is just £47. You can book online training here, or you are welcome to come in person to Newhaven.

Client Comments:
‘I’ve been using the new sleep treatment since we learned it and it’s working really well. I still wake in the night but it gets me back to sleep every time. So thanks very much.’

‘Hi Marek, thank you so much for the Marma routine, I used it at bed time and fell asleep in the last position! Then today, when i was really feeling stressed, I locked myself in the bathroom and did it, and it really helped me.’

‘I hope you are well. I wanted to first of all thank you for the Marma Mudra positions you showed me. It really helped me recover from my chest infection and I have continued doing the positions regularly, feel so much better and am pretty much to back to my old healthy self. After a year of feeling very unwell with Covid twice, long covid for 7 months and recurring chest infections, this is the first time I’ve felt healthy and well in a very long time! I can’t thank you enough and so grateful to have these tools, together with the TM to maintain my wellbeing.

‘Yes, definitely helps. Use it quite a bit, when wake up at night, also at work (goes to bathroom).’

‘I do use your sleep technique though, works like a dream. Many blessings.’

As I said, the training takes just 20-30 minutes, and the cost is only £47. You can book online training here, or you are welcome to come in person to Newhaven..
