Fertility and Maya Abdominal Massage

    Fertility depends on several biological processes working together in harmony. Hormones must fluctuate throughout a woman’s cycle in correct amounts. The lining of the uterus must be sufficiently healthy to nourish a developing fetus. The uterus must be strong and receiving a plentiful and healthy blood supply. Vaginal pH must be just right so that the father’s sperm is not weakened or immobilized by acidic fluids. Oxygen and carbon dioxide within the system must be balanced. Emotionally and spiritually a woman must be ready and willing to accept new life and the consequent changes in lifestyle. The mother’s urinary, venous, and lymphatic systems must be able to remove the additional waste material produced by the developing fetus.
   Maya Abdominal Massage encourages the uterus to maintain oxygen, nutrients, hormones, lymphatic fluids and venous drainage to fulfill her reproductive destiny!
Maya Abdominal Massage is particularly useful for women who are trying to conceive who have experienced any of the following:
*Amenerhea-Lack of regular menstrual flow.
*Anovulatory Cycles-Lack of regular ovulation.
*Thin Uterine Lining-May be caused by some medications, as well as hormonal fluctuations.
*Painful Intercourse-The less enjoyable the experience, the less likely you and your partner are to engage in the very act with the frequency you may desire/require!
Help for Women Who Experience Chronic Miscarriages
    The process of conception is multi faceted, with multiple opportunities for a breakdown in the body’s communication between hormones, fertilization, implantation, development of the fetus and delivery.
    First, we must have a strong hormonal feedback system between the ovaries, uterus and hypothalamus. If the hormonal feedback loop is intermittent and cannot properly prepare the uterine membrane for conception and implantation, or the blood supply to the membrane is so poor that proper nutrients and hormones do not flow in sufficient amounts to support life, it is difficult to support the pregnancy to term.
     Some women are told by their doctor's that the miscarriage was due to “an incompetent cervix”. When the ligaments of the uterus are not strong enough to hold the uterus in her normal position, the additional weight of the placenta and fetus, will force pressure on the cervix too soon, resulting in a miscarriage. Regular Maya Abdominal Massage, Self-Care and the use of a Faja are very useful at coaxing the uterus into proper alignment. 

Healing From Trauma
Rosita's teachings and the Maya techniques also address the impact of emotional, physical, sexual abuses of any nature in both men and women. Maya self-care techniques, Maya medicine, prayer and herbs gently work to release emotional trauma and consequent armoring. While medications and sedatives prescribed to trauma survivor’s assist in short-term care of victims, they do not address or heal emotional trauma and armoring held in the body.
Maya Abdominal Massage assists in releasing this armoring in a contained, safe environment. Plant spirit medicine and herbs assist in the process and in reframing the event mindfully within the context of a person’s life. Issues that may have come to consciousness in cognitive therapy often reach deeper levels of resolution.
Additionally, ongoing commitment to self-care practice of abdominal massage, or any other practice, which helps bring the light of consciousness to that which is held in the unconscious, transmutes trauma, and as Rosita has said, "enables us to thrive rather than to simply survive."
