I continue to offer classes that expand on the knowledge that can only be presented in modified form during sessions. If you want to understand what a true work of art you are and how your body participates in your health, please consider the Hands On Health The Maya Way workshop. It is a 1 day workshop designed to give you the foundation as well as teach you how to do your own abdominal self care. The last class was January 9, 2011! Read below comments:
"I think it was very beneficial because the information gave me enough background to understand the benefits of Arvigo massage. This gives me additional motivation to perform the massage regularly.
Discussion with other class members provided useful information, and the energy of the group provided an uplift.
I think the knowledge gave me more precise information on how to do the self-massage correctly, plus motivation to do it regularly.
I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to better understand the functioning of internal organs, and how massage can benefit this functioning. The traditional focus of massage is on muscle pain, such as back pain, knee pain, etc. In Tai Chi, they discuss the area called the "Don Tien" as the locus of energy flow in the body. I think Arvigo massage can help open the flow of Chi in the body, and go beyond the Western focus on providing relaxation and relieving pain." R.N., New Orleans, LA January, 2011
THE 2 1/2 day SELF CARE CLASS is more extensive in scope. It is open to people of all walks of life, and also offers CEU's to massage therapists, midwives, and acupuncturists. It is also the prerequisite to taking more intensive classes from the Arvigo Institute. The next class in Abita Springs is in April (see classes for exact times and more information). Read the comments from the most recent class:
Wow, blown away at the power of the belly and the importance of paying attention to it. I love the roots of this work and want to continue on as soon as I can."
"It was mostly new information with infinite connections to health."
"The self-care seems to be life changing."
"Informative. Needed. Fun."
The Friday evening classes will continue in March,, as well as future body/health related topics that explore elements of the body, nutrition and chi nei tsang. Please contact me for futher information.
Matthew Wood writes: "Instead of thinking of diseases as precise germ entities or molecular lesions observable in isolated tissue samples, we need to understand disease in terms of patterns of imbalance. This is not new knowledge. Plato described it perfectly twenty five centuries ago in a passage in the Timaeus (Longrigg, Greek Medicine, 1998, 160):
'Diseases, except where they are very dangerous, should not be irritated by drugs. For every disease has a structure that resembles in a certain manner the nature of living creatures. For the composition of these living creatures has prescribed periods of life for the species as a whole. . . . It is the same with the constitution of diseases; whenever anyone destroys this by drugs, contrary to the allotted period of time, many serious diseases are wont to arise from those that are few and slight. Consequently, so far as leisure permits, one should control all such diseases by regimen, instead of irritating a troublesome evil by administering drugs."
Wishing you the best of health, and a nourishing year, 2011!
