Spring at the Ranch

You’re invited to Spring at the Ranch – Crystal Healing Sweat Lodge and Intention Review in September and October this year.

The Kloof Hidden in the clouds.

Spring at the Ranch –

Spring is finally appearing. The cold of winter is gradually dispersing with a warm day here and a short return to the cold. Before long the warmth of spring and summer will come full blown.

With the warming conditions, our bodies let go of the excess fat and bulk of winter that kept us warm and in the cocoon of winter hibernation. Our appetite if we are in balance will decrease and we will let go of weight and toxins.

This is a great time to detoxify and let go. Consider a spring detoxify like my Kitchari reset (see the upcoming article later this month) and don’t forget to detoxify mentally as well. Consider self-inquiry  and our next sweat lodge on September 24th from 2 pm to 4-4:30 pm. Read more below.

Crystal Healing Sweat Lodge (September 24th)

Join us on September 24th from 13: 30 to 16:30 for a purification and cleansing sweat lodge at the ranch with the crystal healing sweat lodge led by Martin Beukes of Cape Town. Cost is R450 and includes soup afterwards.

Martin says of this unique experience:

Brief background on the Sweatlodge

 

The Inipi Sweatlodge(North-), and the Temazcal(Mesio- and South-), originated in the America’s, however the medicine of sweat, is practiced all over the lands, by many a cultures! This is a ceremony of purification, through the combination of the elements in a certain way. Through the alchemy of earth and fire, and water and air, in a merging of all 4. This has an effect on the body to sweat out toxins, while hydrating through the skin.

Through this ceremony of purification, intention or prayer can be expressed, and as toxins leave the body it allows space for more en-light-enment to enter the being, and facilitate resolution in integrating experiences of life! Traditionally, this is expressed in respect to the ancestral lines, and Great Spirit as an omnipresence Energy in all things.

This ceremony is held inside a dome shaped structure, while stones are heated in a fire a few feet away from the lodge. The fire symbolic of the Father aspects of transmutation. These hot stones, representing the grandmothers and grandfathers of our ancestral lineages are then brought into the lodge, after which the “door” is closed, and water poured over the stones, to create steam. This space being in total darkness, is a representation of the womb of Mother Earth.

This sacred ceremony was created to connect with our inner being, and re-member-ing our connection to Mother Earth, Father Sky, and Great Spirit. Hence, this process have a healing effect on the mental and spiritual aspects of the being as well. The Crystal Healing Sweat Lodge follows the same design, and sacred intention, with the addition of an activated crystal grid, surrounding the fire and the Lodge. The crystals, represents a council of crystal beings, which aid in connecting us to the unified crystal grid of the planet. This is to aid in crystal clear connection, and forms a co-creation with the Crystal Kingdom.

By producing sweat, this process of detoxification, is accelerated, especially toxins in the skin layers. This process also supports water weight loss, and clearer and smoother skin. Increased temperature causes the heart rate increases, and the functioning of the organs is stimulated. Detoxifying the organs as well and increasing oxygenation with increased blood flow resulting in healthier body functions.
