Hey 👋 Y’all I am traveling 🧳

I am very excited; I have been planning this trip for a year and it’s finally here!!!

I will be out of the country 10/25 - 11/13/25

I am traveling Peru 🇵🇪

Today!!!!! Today!!!!!! Today!!!!!!

I have a few days in Cusco to enjoy & rest!
I am now on the journey with shamans and Heatherashe Amara of Warrior Goddess Training

Today we will explore the town of Urco & Pisac for a chichi ceremony and Apu - spirit of the mountains offering.

A chicha ceremony is a traditional pre-Columbian or modern celebration involving the consumption of chicha, a corn-based beverage. These ceremonies are used for a wide range of purposes, including religious rituals, agricultural celebrations, rites of passage into adulthood, and social and political events. Chicha was, and in some cases still is, integral to social cohesion, feasting, and acts of community and friendship.

Chicha was used in many religious rituals and offerings. It was poured as a libation to deities like Pachamama (Mother Earth) to ensure agricultural fertility, and for festivals like Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun).

In the Inca empire, chicha was central to feasting and political alliances. The act of sharing the drink was a token of favor and friendship, and toasts between rulers and vassals could signify treaties. The Sapa Inca and local lords would host ceremonies to distribute chicha, and the communal feasting served as a reciprocal repayment for imperial or communal work, such as building canals or roads.

I’ll be doing a several day tour exploring the diversity Peru has to offer. Including a journey through the sacred valley with the shamans of the area

One of tbe questions i get a lot is what in the world is lymph, what does it do???

What is lymph!!!!

Lymph is a clear, watery fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system.

It plays a crucial role in the body's immune system and waste removal.

Lymph contains:
White blood cells, particularly lymphocytes, Water, Proteins, Minerals, and Fats.

Lympha function is draining tissue fluid:

Lymph collects excess fluid, proteins, and waste products from tissues and returns them to the bloodstream.

Transporting immune cells:

Lymphocytes in lymph help fight infections and remove damaged cells.

How is lymph filtered out of the body???

Lymph nodes, which are small bean-shaped organs, filter lymph and remove harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses.

The lymphatic system consists of:

Lymph vessels:
Thin, tube-like structures that carry lymph.

Lymph nodes: Bean-shaped organs that filter lymph.

Spleen: An organ that filters lymph and produces immune cells.

Thymus: An organ that develops and matures lymphocytes.

Lymph is a fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system, carrying immune cells and waste products while helping to maintain fluid balance and protect the body from infections

I offer manual lymphatic drainage sessions
Gentle, rhythmic movements to improve circulation and release toxins that can accumulate in your lymphatic tissue.

Lymphatic drainage, particularly manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), can help regulate the "fight or flight" response by promoting relaxation and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system.

It can also help reduce stress hormones like cortisol, further calming the body.

How Lymphatic Drainage Relates to the Fight or Flight Response:

Stress Reduction:
When we experience stress, the sympathetic nervous system (responsible for the "fight or flight" response) is activated, releasing hormones like cortisol. Manual lymphatic drainage can help reduce cortisol levels, thereby decreasing the stress response.

Parasympathetic Activation:
MLD can promote relaxation and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "rest and digest" response. This can help shift the body out of the "fight or flight" mode.

Improved Lymphatic Flow:
The lymphatic system plays a role in immune function and waste removal. When lymphatic flow is disrupted (e.g., by stress), it can impact the body's ability to cope with stress. Manual lymphatic drainage can improve lymphatic flow, potentially helping the body manage stress more effectively.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage for Fight or Flight:

Reduced Anxiety and Stress:
By promoting relaxation and calming the nervous system, MLD can help reduce anxiety and overall stress levels.

Improved Sleep:
Some individuals report feeling deeper sleep after MLD, possibly due to the calming effect on the nervous system.

Pain Relief:
MLD can help reduce pain by removing waste products and inflammatory mediators from the tissues.

Overall Well-being:
By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, MLD can contribute to overall physical and emotional well-being.
