Maya Abdominal & Arvigo Therapy

 

 

Maya abdominal massage is a traditional healing technique practiced for thousands of years by the Maya people and similarly by other indigenous cultures around the world. It is a non-invasive external technique performed slowly and gently, intended to create balance and circulation back into the energetic center of our being.  Gently working the muscles, fascia, ligaments, and other connective tissues that hold the digestive and reproductive organs in place relieves tension and creates homeostasis in the body This work is for everyone, and is beneficial for anyone experiencing:

 

-Digestive issues

 

-Painful or irregular menstrual cycles

 

-Fibroids or cysts

 

-Held emotions in the gut/Sexual trauma

 

-Infertility issues

 

-Uterine prolapse

 

Displacement to these organs may occur due to trauma, many years of poor posture, repetitive habits, or muscles that have become lax or too tense, while the massage techniques stimulates blood flow, loosens adhesions and encourages organs to re-align to the optimal position. In particular, this allows the uterus to be more receptive to nutrient/oxygen rich blood, increase nerve communication, and improve the flow of chi/prana/ch'ulel/life force. Energetically speaking, many Maya healers focus their entire treatment on the abdomen, as the abdomen is the storehouse of human emotions. Emotions such as fear, anger & resentment, tighten the muscle fibers around the arteries and organs, blocking blood flow. Having some clearing in the area allows for blockages to be released and healed.
