   Maya Spiritual Healing
Modern medicine is beginning to understand the healing wisdom of ancient cultures. The link between many physical illnesses is connected with unresolved emotional stress and distress. Maya Spiritual healing addresses the causes and treatment of chu'lel (life force) and four major spiritual illnesses of the Maya: susto (fright), pesar (grief), tristeza (sadness), and invidia (envy).   Healing techniques such as prayer, herbal bathing, incense and flower essences are used during a spiritual healing session.
