TEMAZCAL---SWEATLODGE A temazcal or sweatlodge is similar to a European Spa or Turkish Steambath. Throughout history they have been used for spiritual ceremonies and healing therapies. Indigenous tribes use them for rebirthing and passing through fear barriers that they would not have been able to experience in an alternative way. Opening your body,mind,and spirit, with desire and intention are part of this process. When conducting a Temazcal, I use my intuition as to the level of ceremony. Most people are not ready for the intensity of a traditional temazcal, and the high degree of emotional release that goes along with it. The lodge
was built for all levels of ceremony, but has a much
more clean and comfortable feeling than a
traditional lodge. It is much larger and you can
stand up in it. There is also a pool of water in the
center and your feet remain cool. You can control
you own level of heat and may exit at any time you
wish. We have certain rules we respect, to hold
integrity of the land and Temazcal. We are in
darkness and don't allow conversation during the
sessions, forms of chanting, humming, singing and
drumming are welcome and encouraged. Upon leaving
you can cool down with buckets of water drawn from
the well. We then sit around the fire and enjoy the
silence of the jungle. We have a delious meal,
prepared in a wood oven to enhance the flavor. We
then head home for a great nights sleep ! |
