A documentary on A Sweat Lodge Ceremony. Learn about the entire process from beginning to end. More information or to attend one, please visit: http://www.iehinstitute.com
Note: These are not Native American run sweats nor are they done in their traditional ways. If you wish to attend a Native American, traditional run sweat please look those up.
The sweats in this video embrace & respect all belief systems, are gentle and nurturing & are for healing purposes. These are not warrior sweats where one needs to withstanding high heat at long intervals.

  • This is what happens when ceremonies are stolen and nothing is ever done the real way and i feel that this is wrong. whoever this lady thinks she is what did she say shaman lmao!!!

  • @tokes073 Nothing can be stolen, for nothing is owned. Creator owns creation, not humans.Everything is a gift that is re-created over & over. As long as anything but divine love & acceptance rules in any human's heart, then that wounded human, will pick on others & their ways. Please heal by opening your heart to all people, all cultures & all ways realizing this is the age of transformation, not through continuing separation & discrimination, but by the golden rule, live & let live.

  • enough with the inner demons, what about inner angels/celestials? bohpoli, wakpa wiccone, the sidhe, the dryads, i dabbled in a little kaballah, and its not good to dwell on negative for so long, every demon is actually an angel, this is true, the celestial is the whole circle, the demonic is when you see one peice ofthe circle and try to seperate it but let it come back to wholness and it becomes angelic, this is the way the universe is, everything is divine! THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING IS ALLL!!

  • @rainbowaon Yes Dear One, You are soooo right! Separation is what causes all the ills of human existence. Love & acceptance brings that which has been separated back into wholeness, wellness & alignment with the mysterious and powerful grace gifted Divine Creator. Only Love matters. Loving You, Doreen

  • Part 2: you say, about the past, you did not do it. But you are living in another people's house, so to speak...so the least to do is show them respect, and respect their (reasonable) will even if it contradict yours, because you are a guest, unless you believe in the idea of conquest and of the spoils of war...which would not be very spiritual, would it? Of all the awful things happening in the world, what you are doing is very minor. I am not attacking you, only inviting you to reflect.

  • @mewabe4 I live in the house of God, of Creator. I live on the land that Creator created for it's children. I am a child of Creator. No man owns land. We all only borrow it for our short life. Creator's childrens job is to heal the land & bring the land back to it's pristine nature. We are suppose to be the gardeners and the caretakers. Now, at this great time in history it is important to return to loving one another & assisting each other into Oneness & toward our highest divinity.

  • @michelleshiningelk I agree--there is people playing with this out there--but many of these people don't know what they are doing--witness Sedona.

  • @jonathonlb It is for everyone--but remember that Indian people were subject to cultural genocide. Land needs to be given back and acknowledgment of past wrongs.

  • You don't talk about the sweat on You Tube--it is not appropriate. I can already tell a white person is doing this--an Indian wouldn't disrespect the lodge.

  • As American Indian people, we have to deal with imitators, frauds, culture vultures, hangers-on and those interested in the romance and novelty they see and that has been perpetuated of our images via damaging media stereotypes. Many non-Natives have become mimics, such as new agers entranced by myths, greeting cards, inaccurate historical portrayals and popular people in the entertainment industries -- all who have, and continue to float around the fringes of Indian country and our lives.

  • beautifully done

  • @doreenmarybray However, lets also recognize that the Native people have been caretakers of these ways for a very long time, even at great sacrifice of their own, so this needs be respected.
