Modern medicine is beginning to understand the healing wisdom of ancient cultures. Many physical illnesses are connected with unresolved emotional stress and distress. The Maya, as with other cultures, recognize diseases of the soul as well as the body and are aware that there are spiritual, psychological and physical causes of illness. Maya Spiritual Healing addresses the balancing and healing of chulel (life force).

 

The five major human emotions that can create spiritual illnesses are:

• susto (fright)

• pesar (grief and loss)

• tristeza (sadness, depression)

• mal ojo (evil eye)

• invidia (envy). 

 

A Spiritual Healing session serves to re-balance and harmonize the human aura or energy field so that we can return to vitality, peace and well-being.

​

Spiritual Healing may be performed as a spiritual bath or lustration consisting of prayers, plants, water, incense and intention. They powerfully move stagnant energies and leave one peaceful and enlivened. Baths are done outdoors in comfortable weather. In cooler weather, a variation is done as a foot soak. Baths can also be used as a tremendous space clearing tool. Another approach is the traditional limpia using prayers, plants, feathers, the traditional egg clearing, incense and intention.
