Have you ever suffered from
abdominal pain?
Who hasn't, right?
Maybe you've taken a quick fix, but your belly ache comes back?
If you want to get to the root of your pain, then this post is for you!
Here's 4 Reasons to Receive Maya Abdominal Massage.
Why Maya Abdominal Massage?

- Maya Abdominal Massage aligns all your organs.
- When any organ isn't in its proper place, it doesn't have optimal function.
- To achieve health, all organs must be aligned in the abdomen.
- Every organ benefits from this external, non-invasive, therapeutic touch.
1. Alignment vs. Tilt for Optimal Function
Each organ has a designated place within the abdominal cavity. When it's enlarged, tilted, or even removed, there are drastic consequences. I mentioned in a previous post on Uterine Self-Care, about the importance of the alignment of the uterus. This is specifically noticeable for the uterus because if it's tilted, a woman may experience symptoms ranging from: not grounded to menstrual cramping to an inability to conceive to problems in labor. It's that serious!
Imagine what it feels like to have anything a little bit to the side. For example, if your house isn't quite on its foundation - the whole thing may crumble. Or if your pot isn't all the way on the burner - the food doesn't cook evenly. The body is the same way.

2. Heals Scar Tissue
If you have had any surgeries in your abdomen, this massage is right for you. Surgeries are very often necessary, however, one of the major side effects is scar tissue. This can cause pulling within the abdominal cavity amongst organs. Also, if an organ was removed, there will be even more scar tissue. Maya Abdominal Massage can help externally and gently remove the scar tissue.
3. Releases Emotional Stress
Life is stressful. Self-Care Tools are a way to reduce the effects of stress. You know the phrases:
It hit me in the gut. I had a gut feeling about it. I have butterflies in my stomach!
Our gut is where we feel things. Especially right around the navel things can get very tight.
Maya Abdominal Massage is a therapeutic touch that aids in the release of old emotions that have been stored in the abdomen.

4. Improves Digestive Health
By touching the abdomen in a clockwise motion, you increase the energy. Maya Abdominal Massage is helpful for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome because it gets things moving in the right direction.
How to Receive Maya Abdominal Massage

There are three ways to receive this technique of massage.
If you decide to go with #1, your practitioner will be able to align your organs for you and teach you how to perform the abbreviated version on yourself in between sessions.
If you go with option #2, you will need to attend a Maya Abdominal Massage Self-Care Workshop and learn the Self-Care Massage Techniques.
I recommend both! There is nothing like having someone else do the work on you. To be empowered through a course on this technique is a great tool to add to your Self-Care Practices and help your family.

For me personally, it was a wonderful journey to take the course. Granted I was already licensed to touch, which is what you will need if you want to advance beyond the Self-Care Massage Workshop. Even though I do the Self-Care Massage on myself, I still trade with other practitioners to receive the treatment.

My Journey into Maya Abdominal Massage
I first began studying the abdomen in massage school because I had suffered from a "pulled groin muscle" as it's referred to by laypeople. Really what I had done was injured my psoas, which is an amazing humble muscle that crosses the hip joint.
I had been eating dairy as a child despite being lactose intolerant. And like everyone else, I stored all my built up emotions in my gut! Needless to say my abdomen was a mess. After much study at massage school, I discovered I wanted to know more about all the organs and muscles in the abdomen. I also wanted to find techniques to align each organ for optimal health.
My excitement was building to find my specialty in the massage field. I knew I loved working with women and wanted to do more than a basic pregnancy massage. After a small bit of research, I found Rosita Arvigo. I quickly signed up to study with her and off I went on my journey into the abdomen!
I traveled to Belize in the heart of the Mayan Rainforest to find her. She has learned this technique from her personal teachers including Don Elijio Panti and Hortence Robinson to name two of her biggest influences. She took her Western Medical Background of Anatomy and coupled it with their indigenous healing methods. Then, she went on to be the founder of the Arvigo Massage Technique a true reflection of Maya Abdominal Massage.
