Human beings are made of body, mind and spirit.
Of these, spirits is primary,
For it connects us to the source of everything,
The eternal fields of consciousness.

Marman*or Meridan Points

Marmans are vital energy points located at anatomical sites where muscles, veins, ligaments, tendons, bones or joints intersect. Marman points are vital because they are infused with prana, the life force and are deeply influenced by consciousness. As Dr Lad explains, "marmani serves as a bridge or doorway between the Body (sharira), Mind (manas) and Soul (atman)".
The Sanskrit word Marman is driven from a Sanskrit root “mar” which means there is possibility of death or serious damage to health. If these points are afflicted, for example Marman related to the heart, or testicles, their damage can cause instant death.
Ayurveda believes that human body is made of ever changing dynamic of energy and intelligence which is interrelated to the larger and vaster field of energy and intelligence of the universe.
According to Aurvedic texts the human body has 117 Marman points, however some traditions believe that there are only 108 Marman points in the body.
Sushruta Samitha in his classic Ayurvedic text mapped out these points in detail. All these points cover both the front and back of the body. They include:

• Face (Mukha) and head (Shiro) - 28 marmani
• Back of the head (Shiro) and neck (Civa) - 5 marmani
• Front of neck (Jatru Urdhva) - 6 marmani
• Ear (Karna) - 4 marmani
• Chest (Urah) - 11 marmani
• Abdominal (Udara) - 12 marmani
• Bck (Prushtha) - 10 marmani
• Arm (Bahu) - 9 marmani
• Hnad (Hasta) - 9 marmani
• Thighs (Sakthi) - 14 marmani
• Foot (Pada) - 6 armani​
