Massage Training
Dr. Vijith’s Mardana Sequence
Touch is a very intimate sensory perception. It is the special property of the unique element air. The lifeforce called Vata Dosha is made out of air and space elements and a healing touch is the best remedy to bring the leader of all doshas, Vata, into balance. This is why oil massage has become one of the important therapeutic procedures in Ayurveda. Your skin being the seat of touch sensation becomes one of the important seats of Vata as well. Hence, your skin is under the risk of getting dried up, afflicted by the Vata. Regular oil application is advised to protect the largest organ in your body, skin, from this threat. Skin is also understood as the safest root of administration of fat-soluble medicinal molecules into your bloodstream. Hence, medicated oils, specific to your constitution and diseases are formulated in Ayurveda for oil massages. A massage is called as Mardana in Ayurveda. Marda means pressure and Mardana is the act of applying pressure into various tissues, organs, and energy pathways called Nadis according to the demands of your health condition. Abhyanga Mardana, oil application and massage, is an important remedy for Vata Dosha. Dr. Vijith’s lineage, from the ancient land of Kerala, transmits a time tested hands on technique of Mardana sequence to master your Vata Dosha. Here is a rare opportunity to join this lineage and get a direct transmission of this ancient technique directly from Dr. Vijith and his disciple and co-founder, Jennemieke.
