| The Vital Energy Centers (Chakras) |
This is a light hands-on energy technique that applies light touch on or
above areas of specific pain or discomfort, the body's endocrine and lymphatic systems, major body organs, the vital energy
centers (chakras), energy meridians and the human energy field (aura). It
infuses the body with a concentrated amount of vital life energy thereby assisting in the restoration of energetic balance
on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels that my have been diminished due to stress.
For example, emotional problems may bring about stress reactions in the
body; physical conditions may influence psychological states and affect your relationships. Life threatening illnesses create
stress not only on the person who is ill, but also on his or her spouse and children. Many hospitals now offer energy healing as a way to reduce pain and enhance the patient's healing. It is non-invasive and since it has no
side effects, it is safe to use in any situation such during pregnancy, for premature babies, or the elderly.
Mexican Traditional Medicine / Curanderismo
This is a holistic approach to wellness practiced in the Americas for hundreds
of years. This indigenous tradition combines energy movements with the use of plants, incense and aromatic waters, as well
as ancient Mayan and Aztec energy clearing practices during which stagnant energy is released in order to promote good health
and a positive mental attitude which are used during your session. These techniques are known
to shift and reconfigure energy patterns within the human energy field which can be a factor in soul fragmentation and illness.
Most curanderas (healers) have the gift of seeing disease in the body and changing energy systems which is similar
to "laying of hands" or reiki -- also known as a medical intuitive.

the extensive database at Baylor University School of Nursing for information concerning Hispanic folk medicine.

"Las curanderas have challenged the normal female role within their culture and have assumed the authority and
leadership traditionally reserved for men. Even as youngsters, the healers never accepted the submissiveness and passivity
that is the fate of nearly all traditional females in their societies. Most curanderas knew they were different. They broke
the rules in their own ways."
--Perrone, Stockel and Krueger from their book Medicine Women, Curanderas and Women Doctors
