The body is made up of energy pathways and points. In today’s world, we walk around mostly unaware of the systems of our body. When these systems are neglected, we can feel low in energy, depressed, anxious, lack confidence, and even experience physical discomfort and disease.
Although the energy systems in the body are not common knowledge, we would like to make them accessible to you, and give you a chance to work with a therapist to balance the energy pathways and points in the body. To do so, we have curated a new treatment that blends the philosophies of Ayurveda (specifically Marmas and Chakras) and Chinese Medicine (specifically Meridians), offering you an in depth and personalized rejuvenating experience.
Marma points in Ayurveda are described as sensitive vital points in the body where muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, and joints intersect. There are 107 marma points in total, each holding significant influence over both physical and emotional well-being.

When applying pressure to the Marma points, the therapist will also be aware of the Chakras: wheels of energy in the body. By applying pressure to the Marmas and also carefully activating the Chakras, energy balancing can be done on a wider scope.
On the other hand, Meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine are energy pathways that regulate the flow of Qi and blood throughout the body, maintaining balance among the organs and overall health.

By harmonizing the flow of energy through the Meridians while simultaneously adjusting the Marma points (which tend to accumulate tension or energetic blockages), we can achieve deeper energetic release and improved vitality.
At Shikari Well-being Spa we understand that, although there are concepts like Meridians and Marmas, each person is unique. Therefore, each treatment will begin with a Dosha consultation, which is an evaluation of your personal constitution based in Ayurvedic philosophy. From there, the therapist will select customized Ayurveda oils, and fine tune your Meridians and Marmas with knowledge of your specific condition.
During this treatment, the key areas of focus include:
Head massage: to stimulate vital marma points and chakras, calming the mind and nervous system
Foot massage: to activate peripheral marma points and meridians, promoting full-body energy circulation
Abdominal massage: to balance digestive marma points and meridian lines, supporting gut health and emotional harmony
After the treatment, seasonal tea and intestine-friendly sweets will be selected according to your condition. This will be served in a peaceful atmosphere, giving you resting time to fully absorb the benefits of your treatment.
We invite you to try this new treatment, which offers a more comprehensive, personalized, and multi-dimensional experience for both physical and emotional health.
