🌟 Mayan Massage with Arvigo Techniques & Relaxation Massage ✨ ASMR Soft Spoken Personal Attention RP

Massage has been an important part of traditional Mayan medicine. Emotional & physical health went hand in hand, and if one bottled up their emotions, they could block the flow of blood and ch'ulel (life force, like qi in TCM) and cause illness. The last Mayan master healer, Don Elijio Panti, taught Dr. Rosita Arvigo about Mayan medicine, including the massage that she based her 'Arvigo Techniques of Mayan Abdominal Therapy' on.

For this roleplay, I went with a more eclectic approach—mixing the traditional Mayan techniques that Dr. Arvigo had detailed in her book, the Arvigo techniques, and the sweeping motions of Swedish massage to link it all together. Adding in the effleurage to link the Mayan massage gave me much more to work with on the audio side.

Unfortunately, to my detriment, the day I filmed was the day that one of my neighbors had a dead car battery and the other vacuumed their car, so it's choppy in the beginning so I could take out the engine cranking and the end has that white noise from the vacuum. No big deal, gives it character LOL

While relaxing, the Arvigo Techniques and Mayan massage are based on 📢 PSEUDOSCIENCE 📢 From Wikipedia: "Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method." This video is only intended for relaxation purposes, and I'm just an actor on the Internet.

❥ What Is ASMR? From Oxford Languages: "a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound. 'ASMR is triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage.'"

❥ I want y'all to have a safe environment here regardless of where you come from, who you love, what you look like, you name it. I don't tolerate discrimination or hatred based on attributes you can't change like where you were born, what color you are, if you have a disability, or who you love– above all, be kind to one another. We're all just people, just trying to do our thing.

❥ About Me:
I'm Calliope, I'm a disabled, Hard of Hearing ASMRtist that got started in December 2016. I found ASMR back in 2011-ish when I was starting high school and it changed my life, so I wanted to create my own content and give back to the community. I'm known for my realistic medical RPs, as well as my pseudoscientific and historical RPs. ASMR is the most important thing in my life, and I hope to continue to make content for as long as possible.
