Back ground: Curanderismo is a ancient art form that is found in all parts of the world and some say it's origins comes from the Moors in Africa. When the Spaniards came to the Americas, they brought & shared their knowledge of energy work. However, energy work was not new to the indigenous people already living in the Americans. In many ways, their understanding of healing modalities superseded the Spaniards. The meeting of two very different cultures & understandings gave birth to Curanderismo.
