    intersting I really think the most effective part is the candles and the oils they use because its first effecting you phsically then you start experincing the mental and spritual stuff.

    the Spiritual part is something that I can really connect with. I'm a psych major and one of my interests for Grad school is spirituality. How psychologists could learn from techniques used in other countries to help in what our culture considers "modern day healing". It takes a strong person to be a psychologist just like it takes a strong person to be a spiritual healer. In my opinion how we heal in other cultures should be apart of our curriculum as well in order to broaden our mindsets. This post has inspired me to do some more research and begin making connections between the two fields. Thank you and great job!

The Virgin of Guadalupe: Background By  Douglas Caballero  The Virgin of Guadalupe: Origin The Virgin of Guadalupe also known as Virgin Mary made her appearance in front of St. Juan Diego in 1531. It is said she appeared in front of him and told him to build a church in her honor. He had failed in his mission a few times until she performed a miracle. She told him to collect roses, when he appeared in front of an audience he opened his cloak and the roses fell out in an image of her. This lead to him deciding to build a shrine for her. People doubt the stories since there is no evidence of apparition until 1648. Also people say Juan Diego was approached in 1534 not 1531 and doesn’t speak of Mary in his writings. Nonetheless there is prove dating back to at least 1556 a shrine has been built for Mary at a chapel in Tepeyac.  The Virgin of Guadalupe: 16 th and 17 th century During the 16 th and 17 th century her populari...

Comparisons Between Curanderismo and Our Readings

Comparisons Between Curanderismo and Our Readings By: Loraine Guerrero How Healers Came to Be In Curanderismo, they largely promote the idea that everyone has the potential to be their own healer. Thus, the way their healers come to be is dependent on what the person does, what they realize and believe in, and them being guided on how to use their new powers. Since, everyone has the potential to be a healer for themselves and others, other people who are not necessarily Latin can still be a healer as well. Another reading that also displays a similar idea is in the "Hell and Back" reading, written by Kira Salak. We read about how an individual named Hamilton who is from California becomes a shamanic healer. His journey started with him calling out to his God. After doing this, he was able to recognize that other spirits and worlds exist out there. By listening to what these spirits were telling him, he went to South America and sought out the guidance of shamans. A...

Raves and the Culture of Healing Behind it

Raves and the Culture of Healing Behind it May 08, 2020 What is Raving?               Raving began in the early 1980’s and quickly evolved by the emergence of techno music in Europe. The way many people who aren’t very educated on the topic would describe it is an organized dance party at a nightclub, an outdoor festival or even a warehouse with a DJ playing electronic music. Now that’s not completely wrong, but raves can go a lot deeper for many who are invested in the culture of raving and the music, family, and traditions that brings joy to so many. Rave culture is an important part in today’s art, music, and literature, as it not only impacts the economy but also brings together thousands of people to an event where memories are made, friendships are kindled, and love is found. Music has a big impact on the culture but it isn’t all about the music, some different aspects that go into it are communities, fashi...
