Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a natural medicine system that has existed for thousands of years.  It is based on the elements ether, air, fire, water and earth. They exist in all of us and in all livings things.  The system and principles of Ayurveda use these very elements to bring balance, healing and health to the body and mind.  The approach is gradual and gentle, combining nutrition, lifestyle, sense therapies and herbs for overall holistic lasting results.  Ayurveda is the perfect complement to Western Medicine.  The top ten diseases in the modern world are life-style and diet related both of which are fundamentally part of the healing approach and process of Ayurveda.  Ayurveda deals with the root causes based on the elements involved with the illness or imbalance to bring lasting results that can be managed and maintained.

Ayurveda Marma Treatment

Discover the original root knowledge of vital point healing. Ayurveda Marma Therapy is a sacred knowledge practiced for thousands of years and documented in the Vedic texts of ancient India over 10,000 years ago. Marma Therapy was used and perfected by the Kalari warriors, whose profound knowledge inspired newer lineages of martial arts and healing arts throughout East Asia. This root Vedic knowledge is what Aspired Elements is bringing to the Reno/Tahoe community this March.

Marma refers to the vital energetic points of the body where both deep healing and trauma can occur. This can be seen when you had an injury and for the most part healed but months or years later there is still an issue or it swells up occasionally for no reason. This can be due to pranic flow not being corrected for full healing and functioning.

Marma Therapy has a myriad of benefits for general health addressing all aspects of the self – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Marma Therapy is not as widely known as its spinoff touch therapies because its power was respected – the power to both heal and open up potential. Marma Therapy is a practice for the face, head, neck, hands, feet, legs, chest and abdomen.

Cost:
1 session $75
3 sessions $180
