Maya Abdominal Massage

The Maya Arvigo techniques are representatives of a holistic strategy to balance the emotional, somatic, and psychological functions as an integrative approach to wellness.

Herbs and nutrition supplement the mental and spiritual healing process.

Dr. Rosita Arvigo devised the internal massage procedures that subtly steer organs in their suitable placement to promote health and well-being.

The procedures accurately manage physical and emotional pressure to promote the circulation of the electricity, oxygen, lymph, and nerves in the solar plexus.

Arvigo Therapy is primarily defined to manage misalignment in both males and women's reproductive and digestive systems.

In the words of Dr. Roseta Arvigo, "The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® are offered as a supportive modality to enhance health and wellness and are not meant as an entire

Additional Information

Arvigo Technique has its roots in the Ancient Maya practices. The Mayans employed the abdominal massage for constipation, labor problems, menstruation, muscle spasms.

The Arvigo technique has incorporated these treatments, complementing them with issues related to modern life.

This technique teaches that that emotion is released from the muscles.

Rape, abuse, and incest are internalized emotions that reside for a lifetime in the location of the pelvic area.

If these emotions are chronically blocked, the flow of vital fluids must be released accordingly by massaging and loosening the resistance.

Our subconscious mind is enthralled with past traumas such as rape, incest, sexual abuse, violent potty training, and excessive childhood spanking, which in turn causes the muscles of the original location to become severely tensed.

Muscles retain and can release stored trauma.

When the therapist touches the muscle location drawing up the emotion at a moment when the mind can see and think clearly without the shock and confusion and release it.

These repressed emotions reside within and pathologically restrict the muscular system.

In many societies and cultures all over the globe, abdominal massage for women during pregnancy has been extensively promulgated for thousands of years.

One of the curing specialties of the Ancient Mayans was abdominal massage.

They used palpation and massage to determine a medical problem. This method is still employed today in some curers and midwives.

Some of them mentioned bonesetters among them.

The Q’eqchi’ Mayans explain that medicinal plants taken internally alone cannot certainly heal the patient.

The plants must be accompanied by massage. Abdominal massage is used for treating heavy menstruation, menstrual pain, hemorrhage, menopausal hot flashes, gastritis in men and women, stomach pain, q'an yaj ( male pain around the navel ), k'uub'sa' ( womb disorder ), female infertility, positioning of the uterus, positioning a baby during pregnancy, female contraception, reversal treatments, miscarriage prevention, turning breech babies in the womb, postpartum treatments, speeding childbirth, worms in children, "mole drop" ( fallen fontanel ) in children, and susto ("fright") by healers and herbalists.
