Feedback from previous course participants
“I would like to thank everyone who organised the course, as well as Drs. Rainer Picha and Walter Mölk, who taught it so brilliantly. My experience was excellent: I learned how to treat the Marma points as a beginner, and I’m truly satisfied with the results. I believe this is exceptional knowledge, and the experiences were truly encouraging. Even at home, after the course, I continue the treatments regularly and review what I’ve learned—all with great pleasure and satisfaction. Thank you to Maharishi for this invaluable knowledge and to those who share it with such devotion and expertise.”
