Siddha Marma for the diagnosis of psychosomatic symptoms

Year: 2019

From the Siddha Kalari perspective, the human being as a whole is described by the "three-envelope model", the "seven-space planes" and the "network of movement flows and points of concentration" that penetrate or form them.

The three sheaths distinguish between our original life impulse and how this is expressed through individual imprinting and experience in one shell each of the psycho-emotional and the physical-organic.

Pulling through all three sheaths creates seven interdependent spaces - from the lesser pelvis to the skull. They contain the different elementary "functions" of the three shells.

The network of movement flows between the spaces and shells, the Siddha Nadi system, forms bottlenecks and intersections for anatomical reasons alone. On the surface of the body there are about 400 points described where the dynamics and connection of the subtle (psycho-emotional) and gross (somatic) vitality are particularly concentrated (marmas or kalams).
The most diverse symptoms or "psychosomatic" complaints can be newly understood by means of the findings of the Marma-Nadi system, by assigning the spatial level, and by understanding the three shells, the different therapeutic approaches can be classified as symptomatic or causal.
