GrandTrinity Posted August 7, 2007 I am looking to learn about the 108 Marmas or energy points on the body! Anyone? Shiva Rea mentions it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spectrum Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) Marmas are acupoints. The classical models of chinese acupuncture offer equivalent but not identical number theory. Indian maps look a little different but really functional mapping is a hands on experience. Your teacher should show you. The landmarks offered by the body give you both topological reference and a measuring stick. Sometimes locating them and opening them is a synonomous experience. What is 360 divided by 108?

The number 108 is an auspicious number in Indian Cosmology and thus a recurring concept. please refer to the bibliography provided in this url for some more detail on the concept of Marmas in the Indian Martial traditions -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revival_of_Kalarippayattu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
