The Temazcal (House of Hot Stones), an ancient curative ceremony is a pre-Hispanic steam bath used to purify body and spirit. By entering this traditional healing vessel,
we cleanse ourselves in order to rebirth and open new pathways in our lives. The sacred womb of adobe earth is prepared with special medicinal herbs and hot stones. Inside the temazcal, through chanting and meditation we purify our mind, body and soul.
Known as "Spirit Cleansing", the traditional healer invokes the powers of the Gods to expel negative energies from the body, mind and spirit by reciting prayers, laying on of hands, cleansing with eggs and candles, or sweeping the air around the body with various medicinal plants. This ancient Mexican ritual clears the spirit to allow optimum healing and balance.
The Pases Magicos were developed by shamans and healers of pre-Hispanic Mexico and were passed down to us via Don Juan and Carlos Castaneda. Through this ancient system learn to increase vital energy, develop internal focus and deepen your conscious awareness.
