A holistic therapeutic system for
Acute and chronic diseases
The Siddhas are accomplished masters who developed, among many other branches of a vast knowledge system, Siddha Varmam (vital point therapy), Siddha Medicine, Siddha Alchemy, and other arts. Their emergence dates back to thousands of years in Tamil Nadu, South India. Their healing methods vary from one Siddha lineage to another.
Siddha Pal Pandian has immersed himself in the Siddha Tradition and its healing dimension for most of his life, and has systematised a holistic therapeutic approach that he named Vasi Therapy.
Vasi Therapy is a holistic therapeutic system comprising three complementary methods of treatment. Its reach is far beyond conventional methods of treatment and this is due to its holistic approach affecting the body, mind and spirit. It considers any disease as an expression/indication of a subtler disorder affecting the natural flow of vital energy in the human body. By addressing these underlying disorders, Vasi Therapy seeks to restore health at its source, including conditions rooted in genetic predispositions.
Vasi is the core energy in the human body, underlying and sustaining all vital functions (involuntary bodily functions) such as breathing, blood circulation, and digestion. For voluntary bodily functions such as walking and speaking, we contribute to this core energy by drinking and food intake. Vasi precedes and enables the formation of the foetus in the mother's womb and continues to sustain all bodily functions throughout the entirety of life.
The three modes of Vasi Therapy:
- Varmam Therapy (Stimulating vital points in the body using slight pressure)
- Kalari Therapeutics (Body alignment through gentle manipulation and/or massage)
- Amritha Kalai (Energy healing through gentle touch)
Varmam Therapy: Varmams are vital energy points located at specific places in the body, at or nearby specific muscle junctions, joint spaces, endocrine glands, etc.. These points contain highly concentrated amount of vital energy and work as a junction between the physical body and the subtler dimensions of one’s being. Any disease is an expression of stagnated vital energy at any one or more Varmams. By using various techniques to release stagnated energy in specific Varmams related to specific ailments, a natural and effective healing process occurs.
Kalari Therapeutics: This method of therapy is aimed at correcting misalignments in the body by either using gentle manipulation or massage. The different massages in Vasi Therapy work on nerves, muscles and Varmams to bring back the body to its proper and natural alignment.
Amritha Kalai: This is the higher aspect of Vasi Therapy and is unique to the Aga Guru lineage of Siddha Pal Pandian. It facilitates the natural flow of vital energy all through the subtle bodies. The root cause of any disease is due to an inhibition of the flow of vital energy through the energy bodies, which on the physical level is simultaneously expressed as stagnation in Varmams.
Any stress, unresolved emotions, physical disorders, ancestral influences (diseases of genetic nature) etc., are registered as stagnations in the flow of vital energy through the energy bodies. Restoring the proper flow leads to the release of these energetic knots pertaining to specific diseases or disorders, leading to a natural and lasting healing on the physical level.
The psyche and all the functions of the human physiology are orchestrated by the hidden flow of vital energy through the subtle bodies. The vital energy flows through each of the energetic bodies in a distinctive way due to the different energetic structure of each. Experiential knowledge of this, constitutes one aspect of Amritha Kalai.
Amritha Kalai addresses acute and chronic diseases, but can also be given for general wellbeing and as a preventative measure. It can also help individuals who are working on their inner development, to release psychological knots, emotional issues, etc.
“Healing is always about sensing the nature of a person and not just calculating the symptoms of his body.”
