In traditional Mexican medicine, harmonizations are millenary techniques in order to balance or energetically harmonize the four bodies that make up the human being (physical, mental, emotional, and etheric-spiritual bodies) and that in an integral way radiate what modern science calls the electromagnetic field around our physical body (the aura). This electromagnetic field is a protective shield that, when in good condition, does not allow energies from the exterior to penetrate into the interior. If there is internal imbalance, this will have an affect and the organism will not have enough strength to protect itself from external forces. External forces can be energies that other people deposit on us, as an example: a strong stare caused by admiration or envy. There may also be friction with the magnetic field of other people when we are in an crowded place. Another damaging external force may be directly caused by another person trying to affect our well-being.
The health of the person depends on the good condition of the material and immaterial components that make up their 4 bodies. Thus, the internal forces that affect our electromagnetic field are related to our food, our emotions, our thoughts and our actions. When there is disease, whatever its origin, it will have an impact on our electromagnetic field. Pre-Hispanic harmonization techniques balance our electromagnetic field by making use of natural elements. These elements have electromagnetic properties according to the needs that the healer identifies in each case.
• Harmonization with incense: this is ancestral technique to cleanse the energy of people, groups, spaces or objects, using smoke from copal resins, dried flowers and medicinal plants. The basic concept is that, by burning this, the life and spiritual intelligence present in those natural elements is released, producing a medicinal smoke, which helps in cleaning the environment internally and externally. Some recent studies have revealed that it has sterilizing properties (meaning it kills germs).
• Harmonization with plants, flowers and fruits: this is a balancing technique for the human electromagnetic field which (depending on the case) can use: bouquets of medicinal plants, bouquets of carnations, roses, lemons, chicken eggs, as well as some minerals or waxes.
• Harmonization with pre-Hispanic archetypes: this technique combines pre-Hispanic knowledge with Hindu knowledge. The technique is about leading the energy into balance by working upon the chakras with pre-Hispanic archetypes. An archetype is understood as ancient universal images (that is, the different symbolic manifestations) that the divine is believed to use in order to express itself in various cultures or creeds throughout the world and in different times. Archetypes are believed to aid in awareness of the divine. Thus, they can be images of beings of light, anthropomorphic figures, animals, plants, sacred minerals, symbols, etc., which are imprinted upon our consciousness like stamps or seals of light.
• Harmonization with pre-Hispanic songs and instruments: this energy balancing technique is combined with sounds and percussion & wind instruments (seashells, drums, windwands, ayoyote rattles), as well as with sacred songs for reconnection with the divine.
