Ancient Mesoamerican Temazcal Ceremony

Your treasure is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the busy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter the silence of the heart. —Elizabeth Gilbert Welcome to Temazcal - In ancient Mesoamerica, the Temazcal was a ceremony thought to purify the body after exertion such as after a battle or a ceremonial ball game. It was also used for healing the sick, improving health, and for women to give birth.  Botånica Tulum, where I went to attend the ceremony, explains that: The temazcal is an opportunity to work with the 4 elements and create a space of sensory deprivation, imitating the mothers womb and giving you a sense of rebirth. This sweat lodge environment allows you to reconnect with yourself and address any physical or emotional areas you want to heal. Is this something you would like to experience? 📍 @botanicatulum 🌿✨🔥💦 . . . . . . .
