Los Alamos, New Mexico

[brokenhallelujah]

I have done several sweats with a friend of mine who, though not a native american, learned from a Seminole shaman (?) about the history and ritual surrounding this tradition.

Yvsa is right -- it's much hotter than any sauna/steamroom you have been in. And it is a very centering, focusing experience.

The best I can do right now is a hot tub that my wife and I had placed into a special spa room inside the house we built. When we first moved in we used it almost every night, but after many years the spa room became the dogs room and we use it infrequently. I think tonights gonna be one of those nights. Kindof a cold gloomy day.
