What's the difference between Reiki and Marma Point Therapy?
A Reiki session is a more general, energetic and spiritual healing session that mainly works on the seven chakras (energy centers that correspond to major gatherings of nerve ganglia in the body) to balance general energy, or prana (also called "chi" or "ki"), in the body.
Marma Point Therapy more closely targets specific health challenges by working on 107 different energetic points on the body and takes longer to administer (Marma Therapy is only offered in 90-minute sessions; whereas Reiki sessions range from 60 to 90 minutes depending upon the needs of the client). Marma Point Therapy involves Reiki energy healing in that the 7 chakras are the main marma points, along with the other 100 energetic, or "marma," points on the body.

More on Ayurvedic Marma Point Therapy from Dr. Marc Halpern
(Meghan Hays' Marma Therapy and Ayurvedic teacher and founder of the California College of Ayurveda):
"Marma Therapy is an ancient Indian practice whose focus is the manipulation of subtle energy (prana) in the body for the purposes of supporting the healing process. Marma therapy is based on the utilization of 107 points in the body which are considered to be access points to body, mind, and consciousness. Knowledge of Marma allows the practitioner to influence the flow of prana through both the gross and subtle bodies for the purposes of restoring health and peace of mind.Marma Therapy is the original point system of healing in the body. As it spread out of India, it influenced the development of Chinese acupuncture and Kung fu. Its origins are in South India within a martial arts tradition known as Kalaripayattu. It was utilized to defend kingdoms during times when expertise in hand-to-hand combat was the mark of a great warrior. These ancient warriors understood subtle energy, and they used their knowledge to disable or kill an opponent. “Marma” comes from the Sanskrit “Mru”, which means “To Kill”. The 107 Marma points are categories in terms of their effect on the vitality of the body. Some points, when injured, simply hurt. Others, when injured, become life-threatening. While warriors had knowledge of these points for the purposes of defending a kingdom, it was the job of the physicians to utilize these same points for healing. The Marma master, sometimes called an “Aasan” or a “Marmani”, would also tend to the wounded. The master had the knowledge both of how to cause injury as well as how to use the knowledge and awareness of prana for healing. The “Aasan” was a rare master who could both kill and heal a person with a touch.
Knowledge of Marma was not separate from Ayurveda. Discussion of the Marma points is found in most of the great texts of Ayurveda but the most famous text to explore the subject is the Sushruta Samhita. Vaidya Sushruta described the locations of the Marma points, as well as how they influence prana. He stated that it was important for the surgeon to have knowledge of these points for the purposes of avoiding them, as to cut into them could result in a catastrophic outcome."

Marma Point Therapy is believed to have originated in India thousands of years ago, was brought to China, and has been preserved by what we know as modern-day acupuncture practice. There are no needles in Marma Point Therapy. Marma Point Therapy involves a wonderful, relaxing and therapeutic combination of:
- medicated Ayurvedic oils and essential oils (aromatherapy)
- and energetic body work/light touch (or no touch if you prefer) , called "pranic healing"--just like, or very similar to, Reiki energy healing--on those same points for very specific results.
We can tailor a session around very specific protocol for almost any ailment or disease you can think of, including, but not limited to:
- lower back, neck, hip, shoulder, joint pain and/or injury
- digestive disorders
- reproductive challenges and disease (fibroids, PCOS, prostate, menopause, etc.)
- urinary system challenges and disease
- respiratory disease and challenges (from bronchitis to COPD)
- insomnia, addiction, migraines, etc.
- cancer and the side effects of cancer treatment
- and the list goes on...
