ABOUT THE SWEAT
LODGE and ITS USE
"All
things employed in the sweat rite are holy to the Native American
and must be thoroughly comprehended ........... for the true
power of
a thing or an act is found in the understanding."
Paraphrased from Bobby
Woods, Lakota (Sioux) sweat leader
Through combination of silence, singing,
praying, and sharing from the heart, sweat lodges become the
other heart of a community. The sweat lodge experience is
very holistic with innumerable benefits to be experienced
on many levels of understanding. It is a microcosm of the
cosmos.
Everything
we do is an outward symbolic presentation of an inner action.
It is
important that sweat rituals serve you; do not simply serve
the ritual.
A certain amount of discipline and
form enables participants to be more focused as both individuals
and as a community. One woman once said: "The sweat lodge
is like your child--you must care for it properly. One wouldn't
want negative influences to contaminate your child."
Why would you want a negative sweat lodge? The community is
the parent of the sweat lodge. Know and understand the importance
of the four purposes of the sweat lodge and all the beautiful
symbolism that connects the materials of the sweat lodge and
its practices to community life.
Words cannot describe all things that
occur during a sweat. Each individual receives something different
than other participants; yet all share in a general way, too.
Participants in a particular lodge may come and go. They may
benefit for a while and then need to seek a different spiritual
path. This is not the way for everyone and that is fine. All
that is asked of the participant is respect--respect what
we are doing and know that our intent is good.

Fekseko (D. Joseph Alderson)
I live on the beautiful Hill
of Fare with views of the world. The Lodge site has been created
here with much pre ceremony that invokes the 'possibility
of healing oneself to become a 'Conscious Spiritual Being'
rather than a human being of a particular gender! There is
sacred geometry utilised in building the whole site and all
these take one into the many layers of the Creator 'self'.
For those who know of the Breemie Stone circle this sacred
site is in a direct line with it on the other side of the
Rainbow so to speak. This is the Ceremony that changed my
life and still does in the most beautiful and challenging
Ways.
I pray that you to will find a 'Way' in your life, to open
you to the Wonderment and Beauty of a balanced Middle Road
of your 'Creator Self'! If you would like to read a bit about

DEEPER PERSPECTIVE TO THE SWEAT LODGE!
Please note that photo's are not
taken during any Ceremony. These were taken
for the express desire of sharing a very small part of this
Sacred Ceremony, to
give you a deeper insight visually. This is obviously only
taking the 'outer world' into account!
The'inner world' experience...well you will have to be there
for that!
It
is important that we recognize that all are connected
to the true Great Creator of the Universe.
