Chicago can be soothing, in the right hands. A group gathers in Pilsen to offer alternative methods of dealing with urban stresses, from breathing to yoga work.
Cristina Puzio, right, spreads a form of incense over a participant as Jackie Torres uses a glass bell during a meditation and sound healing session at El Paseo Community Garden in the Pilsen neighborhood on June 29, 2022, in Chicago.
Puzio began to create spaces to offer meditation and other types of energy healing to the people in her community — Latino families and youths of color — more than five years ago when she realized that few knew about the practices and their benefits. Meditation practitioners were not accessible, due to distance, cost and language barriers.
“Women, femmes, those who are nonbinary or people of color who are being most impacted by things going on in our world need a space of healing that are in our community,” Garza said. “It’s critical for us to be grounded and connected to this earth and in a space where we can connect with each other and heal with one another.”
Puzio, now the wellness leader at the park, said that the work has been achieved by a group of practitioners and spiritual healers who have a genuine intention to preserve and care for the community by donating their time and services. Their purpose is to make these services accessible and available to the community, to raise awareness of the importance of their benefits for mental health.
The practice is an energy treatment with a technique called palm healing, through which energy is said to be transferred through the palms or the practitioner to the patient. It helps to treat mood disorders — anxiety or depression — and insomnia and chronic pain, among other health issues.
