MARMA TRAINING

WHAT IS AMNANDA MARMA TRAINING?

Marma is a treatment to help reduce or eliminate pain. It is based on the combination of physical touch and meditative, cognitive work. The client goes on an inner journey and describes their mental pictures to the therapist. Throughout the treatment, the therapist gently touches the pain site. Marma can translated from Sanskrit to mean hidden or secret point. During Marma therapy the exact point where the pain originates is often uncovered / discovered.

“In the moment that you touch another, then you are in communication” Baba Ramdas Swami

  During this journey the sensation of pain is positively influenced through the creation of new neural connections. Within the context of safety and trust, the pain can reduce in intensity or in some cases can completely disappear.

Unlike some forms of talk-therapy or guided visualisation work, in Amnanda Marma the therapist does not guide or influence the development of the client’s images. The ‘presence’ of the therapist, their touch and companionship is in itself a therapeutic intervention.

Therapist training takes place over the course of 6 months with participants both giving and receiving marma treatments within a small group of trainees. Training is held one day a month providing the opportunity for the group to exchange experiences and discover the scope of the therapy as they go through the process together. Giving and receiving treatments within the group creates a certain energy, whereby each treatment also becomes an initiation enabling participants to effectively practice Amnanda marma with clients.

Cost £90 per month for 6 months.
