This wonderful book represents the product of 30 years work by some
of the greatest minds in the field of mind-body and consciousness.
They have revived the almost lost Ayurvedic knowledge of the
therapeutic treatment of Marma points and made it accessible to
anyone anywhere in the world. Marmas are the delicate, subtle
points in the physiology where consciousness and matter are most
intimately connected. By gentle touch the mind and body can be
treated. I highly recommend this unique book to anyone who is
interested in promoting life in the direction of perfect
health.
*Dr Elizabeth L. Young, General Practitioner, London*
What impresses me most whenever I have Sukshma Marma Therapy is
that something so gentle and so precise, can have such a profound
healing effect. Amazing how profoundly effective this gentleness
is. Just fantastic.
*Princess Ursula Blücher von Wahlstatt*
I had a neural lesion on my face with no sensation in the right
side for about 30 years. I was invited to participate in a workshop
session and the result was the restoration of sensation in my face.
I knew then that this is one of the most powerful tools that we in
the health sector can give to ourselves and our patients - an
efficient, clean and gentle treatment method. In 30 years as a
medical doctor, I never saw anything like this. Thanks Ernst.
*Guilherme Oberlaender M.D., Brazil*
Training with Ernst has given me a new Angel touch method to bring
the body back to balance. Who wants to run their life by fear and
old traumas? This is a book to gain your freedom and happiness.

Reaction’*
"Marma Therapy" is beautifully illustrated and provides a
systematic approach to both self and partner treatment; outlining
massage techniques, "mudras" (hand gestures) and "asanas" (yoga
postures) useful in promoting harmony to body and mind.
*The Herbalist*
Marma Therapy-the gentle art of treating specific vital points on
the human body-is one of the healing secrets of ayurveda. It can be
used to detoxify, strengthen, and revitalize the body for
relaxation or to release blocked energy. In this 148-page hardcover
text, authors J. Ramanuja Raju and Ernst and Stefan Schrott explain
marma therapy's theoretical basis and provide a detailed, fully
illustrated guide to its use.
