These personalised ceremonies have been practiced by the Maya for centuries. Dr. Rosita Arvigo was an apprentice of Don Elijio Panti in San Antonio, Belize which is where she learnt about the Abdominal Massage, the local plant medicine and also Spiritual Bathing.

The Maya, as with all traditional cultures, recognise diseases of the soul as well as the body and believe that there are both spiritual and physical causes of illness. Meaning that the dis-ease can be shifted both ways, once the client has become ‘aware’ and is prepared to let go of the cause. Maya Spiritual Bathing consists of collecting plants and herbs, mascerating them for a few hours then showering the water over the client with prayers and incense. This serves to re-balance and harmonise both the body and the aura (or energy field) so that we can improve the level at which we vibrate.

I studded with Rosita for over 3 years, from 2009 – 2013 and am qualified to perform these sessions, which can be performed privately or individually in a group setting (part of a retreat).

They usually last about an hour.

Soul loss leaves people of any age, dispirited, weak, fragmented and disassociated from themselves and the world. Many teenagers and adults make misguided attempts to reconnect with their souls, filling the void with drugs, alcohol, food or obsessive relationships. Therapy may not help because ‘nobody’s home to be helped’.
