Traditional North American Indian Sweat Lodges

Oxfordshire & Carmarthenshire

www.windspirit.co.uk

The act of sweating in some form or another has been practiced in many cultures around the world. Actually, there has been a sweat lodge tradition in many European cultures too, though unfortunately most of the ritual and spiritual significance has been lost.
Today many are searching for their roots and trying to find the connections between themselves, each other and the world around them. Knowing that our ancestors once had a special relationship with the earth, we look to find that relationship again. This has led individuals to explore various traditions around the world, with a sharing of knowledge between people.
One of those practices, which still is done today, is the sweat lodge ceremony found amongst many North American Indian Tribes. This ceremony has been offered and shared by elders and medicine people with others of European ancestry, encouraging participation of all nations in healing the earth.
Many North American and Central American Indian tribes have traditionally used the sweat lodge for purification, cleansing and healing of mind, body, emotions and spirit.
Spiritual sweating cleanses the mind, body, emotions and spirit, contributing to a healthier individual. Through the use of traditional rituals and forms, it assists the individual in achieving balance within themselves as well as with others and their environment. Those who participate in the sweat lodge find themselves rejuvenated and re-energised coming out feeling whole.
Through a combination of silence, singing/drumming, praying, and sharing from the heart, sweat lodges become the other heart of a community. The sweat lodge experience is a total holistic experience.
If one enters the lodge with an open mind then the individual is prepared for cleansing of negative emotions, healing of physical ailments, clearing of mental concerns and/or releasing of spiritual blockages.

Native North American Indians are very modest and do not practice new age sweating (nude).
