In Tunich, we believe in the traditions of where we are settled, that’s why we host a traditional group Temazcal ceremony every Saturday.
The Temazcal is a very ancient ritual that we do for sanity, to be healthy, to be balanced, to stay calm in our minds.
The Temazcal emulates the womb, the place where from the beginning of life we feel safe, protected and healthy. The construction of a Temazcal is said to obey sacred geometry, as it is built from 16 tied branches. The alignment of the branches marks the universe and the forces that unite it in such a way that each one of the intertwined branches represents one of the planets and the creation of the universe, hence it is considered the belly of the Earth.
Visitors are kept hydrated with herbal tea and allowed to lied down, walk or sit still, whatever it takes to cleanse the body and mind. During the session herbs such as rosemary, basil, mint, lemon grass, palo Santo, jasmine, sage, eucalyptus, chamomile are used. These aromas float with the steam created by the temazcalero when he trows water on the hot rocks. These rocks are arranged in a well in the middle of the floor.
This ritual helps you relax your muscles and nervous system. It takes you away from stress through deep breathing maintained throughout the ceremony calming the nervous system. The high temperature provide extraordinary benefits for circulation, distribution hormones to the areas that need them most.
The heat is also wonderful for people with arthritis, as it releases endorphins and adrenaline. The Temazcal is also great for your skin, eliminating toxins, toning and softening. Other benefits include helping with respiratory problems, fighting insomnia, dealing with sinusitis and helping to release repressed emotions.
