There is more to this world than we can see with our physical eyes. We are much more than our physical bodies. We are surrounded by many layers of energy bodies collectively known as Aura. We run on energy just as a car runs on petrol. Though the petrol is limited (and expensive!!), energy is available to us 24x7 free of cost. We have energy running in our body through pathways called energy meridians, just as the blood flows through blood vessels.

Any imbalance in our life and body is a result of an imbalance in the energy system. The so-called "Modern Medical Science" has only understood a bit about the physical body and systems and has totally disregarded the metaphysical aspect (energy) and therefore its cure has not only been short sighted but sometimes extremely complicated.

In my recent study of acupressure and acupuncture (without needles), I came across Ayurvedic Acupressure, which is a very powerful system, which integrates the knowledge of ancient science of Ayurveda and the principles of Acupressure. Ayurveda is composed of two words - "Ayu" + "Ved". "Ayu" generally means the life span of a person, but according to Ayurveda, "Ayu" is the union of Body, senses, mind and soul.

It deals with both the physical body and the metaphysical body (Aura and energy) to completely heal and cure physical, mental, emotional and spiritual illnesses.

Acupressure/acupuncture is an ancient science and contrary to the common belief, it is an ancient Indian science. It was and is still known as "Marma Chikitsa" in Ayurveda though not many people are aware of it.

Acupressure works with the energy meridians in our body. There are many branches of acupressure/acupuncture as we know it today. They are :

• Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
• Ayurvedic Acupressure
• Yogic Acupressure
• Sujok
• Reflexology
