Live in Peace

Live in Peace!

One of the many reasons I am here in Mexico is to understand other ways of health care that exist outside of the “traditional” medical model. The indigenous people here in Mexico have been using the earth to heal since the beginning of time. The earth has all that we need. 

“The energy in our hands and hearts is the energy from God”, said Nacho Torres, a healer from a small, remote town close to Cuernavaca, Mexico. According to Nacho, this energy is a force from God. We all have the light. We have a connection to the earth, our roots. 

I can naturally see the intersections of a person's mental health and their connection to the earth. I believe it is super important for an individual to connect back to their roots in an effort to find wholeness. To be human is to be connected, connected to other humans as well as to the earth and the cosmos.

¡Vivir en Paz!

“La energia en nuestros manos y corazones es la energia de dios”, dijo Nacho Torres un curandero de un pueblito cerca de Cuernavaca, Mexico. Esta energía es una fuerza de dios. Todos somos las luces. Tenemos una coneción con la tierra, nuestras raíces.
