Morning Everyone. How are you this lovely morning?<\/p>\n
I went to a sweat lodge yesterday as my husband and our good friend Rick hold them at Rick’s\u00a0place and I can’t imagine anything that feels much better then going to a sweat.<\/p>\n
Of course anything in a sweat stays in a sweat but I can tell you about the overall good feelings.<\/p>\n
I think I like the tradition of it. Certain things have to be done a certain way. Certain things can only be done by women and\u00a0certain things by men.<\/p>\n
I felt very honoured as there was a broken rib on the lodge and I was the one given the task of mending it and sending\u00a0my feminine energy into the lodge. Isn’t that cool? Sounds a bit hokey as I’m writing it but it truly was a good experience to do that.<\/p>\n
I remember in a sweat many moons ago I was the only woman and I was doing the tasks of separating the cedar and the Elder and the men gathered around me and sung to me in thanks. I have to tell you I was very honoured and felt a little silly when that happened. It was an amazing experience.<\/p>\n
If you ever get an opportunity to go to a sweatlodge make sure you go. Of course trust the person holding it. Bobby & Rick host it so I was in good hands.<\/p>\n
There is always a feast after the lodge which is the best. Rick makes the best chicken soup ever. It’s just as healing as the sweat.<\/p>\n
Thanks Rick, Bobby, Pat & John for making the lodge a success as well as everyone who participated. Thank you for being you.<\/p>\n
Quote for you:<\/p>\n
