December 15th is the birthday of one of my best friends.
December 15th is the last 15 day of this year.
Will a politician solve the country’s problems on December 15th in 2025 or 2090?
I don’t know, but having hope in politicians seems a bit naive to me.
Is December 15th a special day for you? I don’t know, I just stopped by to let you know that:
> If you are committed to improving your Spanish in 2024 (dos mil veinte y cuatro) el 15 de diciembre es the deadline to save some money and pay the same price than my current students in 2023 (dos mil veinte y tres).
Anyway,
January is just around the corner and achieving your goals is absolutely up to you. Whatever your goal is.
Un buen inicio de semana.

Massage can be critical in the recovery process after joint replacement surgery.
Hip- and knee-replacement surgery offers a path to pain-free mobility, but they usually come with long and arduous recoveries. Massage therapy can play a crucial role in the recovery process.
Massage can soothe the guarding reaction of tissues, helping them to return to normal function.
Additionally, lymphatic drainage massage is useful in reducing pain and swelling and should, in many cases, be considered a core part of the broader post-surgical therapeutic protocol.
Massage can also address other common post-surgery issues, such as the buildup of scar tissue that often accompanies hip and knee procedures.
I am a specialist in lymphatic massage who will consider your particular needs to give you the best and most satisfying experience. I also can help you with rehabilitation exercises or IVs to help you heal.
Schedule your in-home 90-minute massage on the day and time that suits you best.
Massage costs USD 45 + $ 5 transport fee

The very beginners sessions work like this:
>How to articulate/ theoretical and practical explanations about articulation points and how to move the tongue, contrast with your native language (for English and German speakers), using the same instruments (articulation organs) to play a different type of music (languages), and of course, how to perform this music.
>Phonemic awareness/ you will inform your brain in a polite way that you will add some new sounds to the previous track list. Pronouncing correctly will increase your confidence.
The intermediate sessions work like this:
>Perception/ What your brain is expecting in your native language is beautifully packed in other words, other subtle meanings and we will work on how to perceive them.
>Decoding/ Reading vs speaking, reorganization of the spoken language, why is it so hard to understand and how to decode the message (the hardest challenge for a non native speaker).
The advanced sessions work like this:
Well, it’s late and Pumbaa my black furry friend is waiting for his daily walking, I will tell you more tomorrow.
Anyhoo,
Wondering about next sessions in January? schedules? doubts? G-mail me.

In ancestral wisdom traditions, all illness, whether physical, emotional or psychological, stems from an illness of Spirit – a separation of the self from one’s true essence. In Andean shamanism, “limpias” – or energy cleanses – help restore a person’s energy body to its natural state, creating balance, healings and reestablishing the natural current of vital energy to the physical body.
With the help of a shaman, stronger interventions are possible. Shamans act as a liaison between the spiritual and physical worlds and can assist in a retrieval of soul loss, repairing psychic and energetic intrusions, discharging ancestral karma, and restoring a person’s human connection to the natural world.
This is the medicine before ‘medicine’.
Taita Ivan Navarro, an elder shaman from Chile with over 40 years of service in the healing arts, will be in Cuenca offering ancestral Andean limpias/energy healings for the next month.
Healing sessions are private, and may include the use of: smoke, tobacco, sweet/bitter plants, crystals, fire, or power plants.
Cost is $70.
Please send a message via email to book a session.
If interested in other services such as: sweat lodge/temazcal, private or group services for specific needs/occasions, power plant medicine ceremonies, or would like to join a local opportunity to experience ancestral healing first hand, please send a message via email for more information.

Deep Tissue Massage
Reduce tension in deep layers of the body.
Treat chronic stress
Better sleep & workouts
Treat pain
Deep tissue massage is one of my clients’ favourite types. Expect to be sore after the treatment – it has some similar effects as exercise, and it is highly recommended for those who do not like exercising.
A regular deep-tissue massage would be highly recommended if you are particularly stressed. I encourage you to try it at least once to see how you like it, and perhaps you will later find yourself wondering why you hadn’t tried it sooner.
