Guadalupe Dominges was born in Taos, New Mexico, into a family of Hispanic folk healers known as curanderos. "The work that is done is similar to Shiatsu," said Dominges, describing the techniques of massage, stimulation and acupressure work for the hands and feet, head and neck. "My grandmother showed me there were differences in how the toxic energy felt, where we held different types of energies. Holding on to the energy is what makes your body toxic. It all comes into the abdomen, and to us the core of healing is your abdominal space. I never touch extremities until I have resolved what is going on in the abdominal space." | ||

by Philip Van Vleck/Dirty Linen Magazine The music of Nass Marrakech is a blending of traditional Gnawa trance music and modern influences. The trance music comes from the Gnawa trance ceremony called derdeba. The Gnawa believe that evil spirits may sometimes be the cause of misfortune or illness or an unfavorable condition. Infertility or depression, for instance, may be seen as the work of evil spirits, and the Gnawa believe that the derdeba can be employed to cleanse a person of such an affliction. |
