Temazcal
Temazcal is an ancient spiritual practice from the native habitants of America; a sacred ritual for Healing and Purification.
The word Temazcal comes from the Nahuatl language used by the Aztecs: Temaz = bath and Calli = home. The ceremony was used by the Aztecs, Zapotecs, Mixtecs, Mayans, and other indigenous groups as a therapeutic and purifying ritual. Archaeologists have uncovered Mayan sweat lodges believed to be over 1200 years old, and the temazcal is still used today as a ritual of purification and healing.
For thousands of years prior to the arrival of the Spanish in 1519 the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica developed a highly advanced civilization. Herbal medicine and natural health practices were prevalent throughout the area. Temazcal, the herbal steam bath, was a vital part of traditional life and was used for wellbeing, treatment of many ills and as a religious ritual.
Temazcal has the power to invoke the Magic-Spiritual realms of Consciousness. In the Temazcal you learn to relax, to silent your mind, to develop a template attitude, feeling harmonized in a human group, to listen, to respect the forces and living Spirits of the Elements and to recognize your own limitations which the mind puts in our daily life in our relationships.
In this real uterus of Mother Earth, man and women can rebirth; they can feel again as the ancient man, a profound reverence and relationship with the earth, the water, the wind and the Fire. You can heal the wounds of life at the rhythm of your circumstantial partnerships with whom you have been put to live together this unforgettable journey: The Temazcal.
