By Anna Campbell
Mayan Abdominal massage is a treatment that focuses on aligning the reproductive and abdominal organs. Intended for both men and women, the treatment helps to re-position the abdominal organs, loosen the hips and remove any scar tissue on the sacrum and along the spine. This increases the circulation of blood to the abdomen and with that resolves a wide range of conditions. The Mayans believe that ‘people’s issues are within their tissues’, so in gently working to release the abdominal tissues people can heal and let go of anything that may be hampering their health.
I am a trained Mayan Massage therapist and acupuncturist and have been working in this relatively unknown work in Dublin. Mayan Massage is known for reducing painful periods, prolapse of the uterus and resolving digestive problems. What I find shocking is the amount of women who live with painful periods. Simply put, periods are not meant to be painful and after a treatment with me you will be armed for life with techniques to reduce that monthly pain. A vital part of this work is called Self-Care.
I spend a lot of time explaining the importance of this with every treatment. It is a shortened version of the massage that you can perform on yourself daily. Self-Care is at the core of the Arvigo Techniques of Mayan abdominal massage. I really believe that everyone should take control of their own health and Self-Care is the perfect technique for doing so. During your session there is a lot of emphasis on this, diet and other simple home remedies (e.g. castor oil packs, Epsom salts bath ) and you are provided with ample information so that you feel confident in what you’re doing.
Self care is an empowering method of healing as so often with allopathic medicine patients are just given a prescription and that’s it. What I find in my work, that explaining why it makes sense to massage your abdomen to help relieve IBS symptoms for example, empowers clients so they finally feel they themselves can make an impact on their health in a practical way.
Abdominal massage works from the pubic bone up to the ribs on the anterior aspect of the body. I work through every system gently massaging away any stress and tension allowing your organs to achieve homeostasis. The massage also works on the back, this is because there are nerves along the spine and through the pelvic bowl that are connected with the organs on the front of the body. I then work gently and systematically along your spine, over the sacrum and into your hips to release out any scar tissue.
Well in truth I believe that everyone should experience this healing therapy. Some of the symptoms that you might experience as a female in need of this work include uterine prolapse, pelvic achiness with your period, painful and irregular periods, endometriosis and PCOS, bladder infections/cysitis, fibroids and cysts, fertility challenges, pre-menstrual syndrome, painful ovulation, menopausal or peri menopausal symptoms.
Mayan massage also works on the digestive system. I have been able to help people who are crippled with severe digestive problems. Just like your periods should not be painful, you should not experience pain after eating or while digesting.
Symptoms that can be treated with Mayan abdominal massage include bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, IBS, heartburn, oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Chrones disease, lower back ache and headaches.
I find men benefit from this treatment greatly, I ask my female clients to teach their husbands this work if they are not able to come for treatment especially if it is for fertility reasons they are attending. This also helps to keep the tactile relationship healthy within couples who are undergoing a very medicalised IVF protocol for example.
Apart from all the above digestive symptoms men benefit from Mayan massage for symptoms such as; early stages of prostate swelling, prostatitis (mild), prevention of prostate inflammation, erectile dysfunction, fertility challenges due to sperm abnormalities
At Conscious Health your treatments will always be personalised to suit your needs.I put huge emphasis on the person behind the body, and I find this creates a beautiful safe space for people to allow themselves to heal. This massage will feel exactly just what you need, relaxing and deeply therapeutic on a physical and emotional level.

IAN SPICER FROM OZ:
Science has now proved that our beliefs, not our gene’s determine 95% of our decision-making and therefore outcomes. Most of these beliefs reside in our sub-conscious and make up our hardwired, automatic and habitual programming. The majority of these beliefs are installed, courtesy of our environment, and were inherited before we were 6 years old years old, with many of them no longer serving us and being self-limiting.
Now for the very first time, with PSYCH-K.(AS RECOMMENDED BY BRUCE LIPTON) everyone has the ability to short cut the change process and replace self-limiting subconscious beliefs, quickly and easily, with powerful self supporting beliefs with long lasting change
Tickets 15 euro and 10 concession.

Patricia “Parashakti” Lohan is a certified Trainer in Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Healing, and Sacred Sound Workshops with Tibetan Singing Bowls. She is currently based in Dublin, but was born and raised a Galway native. Patricia maintains a private practice in Dublin, offering her custom integrated healing system, which includes Sound Healing, BodyMind Balancing, Reiki and Yoga. Patricia Lohan recently created a series of sound healing CDs to aid you in journeying through the chakras, ease you into the day in the morning, or towards calm and peace in the evening and a special one to cleanse and harmonise.
The sound of the Tibetan singing bowl is known for its healing properties and its ability to induce states of deep meditative absorption. The hand-made metal bowls are traditionally used in rituals as well as for meditation. The resonant sound they produce penetrates through a meditator’s body and mind, allowing deep inner connection. This CD features one track where, either, a single bowl is struck softly and regularly, or steadily hums as it is played moving up through the notes corresponding with each of the seven chakras. Parashakti Sacred Sounds are recorded with the utmost purity and integrity of sound. Let the pure vibrations of the Tibetan Bowls, fill your being with tranquility and peace.
This CD features two tracks, one for the morning and the second for the evening. The morning meditation will energise you and uplift you immensely, giving you an opportunity to prepare you for the day ahead with all the chakras cleansed and aligned so that you can start your day in the best possible way. Track two guides you to cleanse and clear all the chakras from the day gone by and will create a sense of peace within you, clearing your mind before a restful nights sleep.
This CD combines the powerful spiritual transformers of Chakra Seed Mantras & Tibetan Singing Bowls with seven tracks corresponding with the seed mantras for each chakra repeated a sacred 108 times. The term mantra is based on the Sanskrit words: manas (mind) and trai (control). Vedic scripture calls mantra “that which, when contemplated and repeated, will offer protection.” The simplest mantras are called “seed sounds.” The powers they represent can change our lives for the better, no matter what we may believe or how we imagine them.

Practitioner of Energy Medicine for the last twenty years and one of the leading Shamanic Teachers in Q’ero Tradition of Peru, Rajinder Singh has just released the first in a series of guided Shamanic Meditations CDs.
Recorded in Sacred Space, the CD contains two meditations. The first helps to connect and come into the right relationship with Mother Earth (34.52mins) and the second is a Full Moon Meditation (40.02mins).
In each of the meditations you will hear Rajinder opening sacred space and guiding you, with the beautiful background of the Shamanic Drum and Rattle.

From energy boost to confidence high.
See details of how you can win below.
I took a food intolerance test in March of last year. My digestion was very poor at the time. Other tests had found nothing wrong and I was given medication to alleviate symptoms. It wasn’t helping and even made me feel worse. I was disheartened.
When my mum suggested that I take a food intolerance test to see if that could help, I decided to give it a go, as I hadn’t had any luck with other methods. The YorkTest Food&DrinkScan Programme started with a simple finger-prick blood test. I did it at home and sent it back to the laboratory, and the results came back within two weeks. I was intolerant to egg white and egg yolk.
I took eggs out of my diet, replacing them with porridge for breakfast. I instantly felt like I had more energy and after a couple of weeks my swollen stomach went flat for the first time in years. With my new increased energy levels I’ve been able to go the gym more and my weight has come down over two stone. The dark clouds have lifted and my attitude to food and life has changed immeasurably. I am delighted to see my body changing and my new shape. My confidence levels have soared and I couldn’t be happier.
To celebrate Cathy’s success, YorkTest are offering one lucky reader the chance to feel equally uplifted with a Food&DrinkScan Programme worth €350. Email your favourite inspiring quote that keeps you going to competition@positivelife.ie or post it on the competition Facebook post below to be in with a chance to win.
We’ll announce the lucky winner on Monday 7th July. Best of luck everyone!
