In the indigenous medicine of Mexico, we have a powerful guiding system that comes from the Toltec philosophy called Toltecayotl. Toltecayotl is a Nahuatl word that comes from the word “toltecatl” which was used by the Nahuas and Mexicas to describe a way of life. Or as I would like to personally describe it, as the artist's way of life. We are the artisans practicing the art of living in balance. 

En mi primera publicación sobre curanderismo, compartí que esta palabra describe una práctica de curación indígena holística y una forma de vida. En el curanderismo, existen personas que se especializan en diferentes prácticas de curación. Estos incluyen sobadores, hueseros, consejeros, yerberos, y matronas o parteras. En esta publicación, compartiré la importancia de la partería tradicional en México, quiénes son, qué hacen y todo lo que tienen que pasar para proteger, preservar y sanar dentro de sus comunidades.

I hope that as you have read these lines, you reconnected to the sacred feminine, to mother earth, the woman who birthed you, the mother that birthed your mother, and you if you are a mother. May you reconnect with that sacred part of you that nurtures, nourishes, and supports you? May you find this energy as your inner compass to guide your steps into a compassionate, and loving path. May the power of grace give movement to that which is not yet conscious and expressed to give you direction. May you feel the presence of the great cosmic mother and know that even if you don’t see anyone around, you are never alone. There are always unseen forces ready to come to aid, support, and love you. ~ Margarita Camerena
