Sweat lodge "sweat it out!!"
Sweating it Out
Grandmother Robin Tekwelus Youngblood sheds some light on the Native American tradition of Sweat Lodge
Robin, tell us a bit about Sweat Lodge: What is its purpose and how long has this tradition existed?
Sweat Lodge is a very ancient purification ceremony. This kind of ceremony can be found all over the world - for example Finnish Sauna used to be prayed in, so sauna has been used just as in Sweat Lodge. Roman’s had sweat baths. There are records of Sweat Lodges throughout the world from ancient times, thousands of years ago.
Within the Native American Traditions why exactly is it done and how often?
Sometimes in ceremonies like Sundance and so forth, people can do Sweat Lodge every day. Usually they’re done once or twice a month, or even once a season like on solstices and equinoxes, or full moon; sometimes the dark of the moon (when there is no moon). Sweat Lodges are done to purify body, mind and spirit. The heat and the steam in the Lodge release the toxins from the body. We pray and sing in the Lodge, so we clarify our mental and emotional aspects. There are times when in certain healing Lodges the person who’s facilitating the Lodge will take people into a special ceremony within the Lodge to release emotional trauma and so forth. So it’s truly one of the few ways we can cleanse all aspects of our self at the same time.
How long have you been involved with Sweat Lodge for?
I’ve been attending Sweat Lodge for 30 years, and I’ve been Water Pourer for about 20 years.
And what can people expect from joining Sweat Lodge lead by you?
They can expect some direct teaching about the Lodge before we go in. They can expect that it will be hot! And there’s no danger to anyone; if someone cannot handle the heat I’ll always open the door and let people out. Sweat Lodge is about facing our fears, so people who maybe have a little bit of fear of the dark, or a little claustrophobia or something like that may experience a little bit of that when they first go in, but if they’re willing to work with it a bit, it often heals those kinds of things.
So what kind of impact is the experience of Sweat Lodge likely to have on someone afterwards?
They feel refreshed, cleansed, reborn. Very often Sweat Lodge becomes a life-changing experience and people want to do it again and again.
Can you remember your first experience of attending Sweat Lodge?
Yeah! I was a little bit scared, I didn’t really know exactly what to expect. I listened to the Leader of the Lodge and followed instructions. Once I got in the Lodge, I had a profound feeling of being back in the womb and being very nurtured and cared for in a way I don’t think I’ve ever experienced outside of the womb. It was very powerful. That particular Lodge was run by an Elder Man who was himself very powerful. We had orbs dancing in the Lodge, many different colours. And it’s dark, so who knows where they came from!
How did that change you afterwards?
I think it was probably one of my first experiences of deep connection with Spirit and an understanding that there’s a personal relationship I can have with all Beings. Even the stones in the Sweat Lodge offer themselves to their work. So it was kinda my first experience of understanding on a deep Soul-level that everything has life, everything has spirit. I came away feeling calmer and healthier in body, mind and spirit than I probably ever felt. And I wanted to do it again! For Native Americans, we live ceremonial lives. For us, we see ourselves in direct relationship to everything that is, whether it’s the trees, the stones, the grass that’s growing, the animal nations etc., and our responsibility is to live in balance and harmony with all Beings. Ceremonies like Sweat Lodge, Vision Quest - all of those things - instil a deep sense of that connectedness. There are no words for ‘art’ or ‘religion’ in most Native American languages, and the reason for that is because we are living art, and we are livingspirit.
Are there any other experiences in particular that you’ve had since you started leading Sweat Lodge that you would like to share?
Gosh, there are so many! We did a women’s Sweat Lodge one time and we had this beautiful soft green light blowing around the Lodge. It was very magical; it felt like the fairies were there, and maybe the wood nymphs and so forth. The green light looked like Mother Earth. We had a truly fantastic Lodge and all the women were so happy when we came out, and we told the men about this beautiful green light that was in the Lodge, and they were eager to get in the Lodge. Then it didn’t happen for them! Who knows what the difference was!
Anything further you’d like to add?
For people who want to know more about Sweat Lodge there’s an excellent book on Sweat Lodge by Joseph Bruchac called ‘The Native American Sweat Lodge: History and Legends’. I’ll be leading Sweat Lodge in Thailand at the end of the year during my visit for the Wisdom Gathering and I’m really looking forward to this in Thailand - I think it will be an incredible experience for all of us!
Robin will be in Southeast Asia for the Wisdom Gathering, Thailand, this coming December. In addition to leading Sweat Lodge on December 17th, during her visit she will also be leading Vision Quest and teaching IAHHS course Shamanism Modern World, as well as offering personal healings (view her calendar via the link at Shamanism Teacher). Keep an eye on the STDA webpage in the coming months for further updates about Robin’s involvement in Wisdom Gathering activities.

Siam Reiki Attunement Process
Tuning In: A Look at the Siam Reiki Attunement Process
As Reiki continues its ever-increasing rise in popularity across the globe as an alternative healing methodology, it’s becoming ever harder for those looking to become attuned to Reiki to know what is and is not genuine Reiki, and how to find a Reiki Master Teacher who will pass it on to them in its purest essence. Here we take a closer look at what a Reiki attunement is, and what is needed in order for a Reiki Master Teacher to be qualified to give it.
In the first instance, in order for a person to perform a Reiki treatment, they themselves need to be attuned to Reiki. This may seem very obvious, but with so many people these days claiming to be ‘qualified’ to initiate people into Reiki when they themselves are not genuine Reiki Practitioners, it does bare mentioning. In Siam Reiki we most commonly refer to the process as the attunement process. But what exactly is an attunement? A Reiki attunement is an initiation performed by a qualified Reiki Master Teacher, during which he or she acts as a channel as their Spiritual (Reiki) Guides transfer the Reiki energy into the student. In order for the Reiki Master Teacher to be able to give an attunement, he or she first needs to have attained a level at which a large spectrum of frequency/energy is able to flow through their body. To reach this stage, the Reiki Master Teacher will first have had to gain a great deal of their own experience as a therapist through the performance of hands-on and distant treatments, as well as confronting and releasing congested energies within their own bodies which have accumulated over their many incarnations. During the attunement process, the Spiritual (Reiki) energy is sent through the aura of the Reiki Master Teacher into their 7 Major Chakras, and it then flows out from the minor chakras in their hands. This large frequency spectrum is necessary because they will be guiding the Spiritual (Reiki) energy into the student by placing their hands and using Reiki symbols inside the student’s etheric aura (which normally stretches between 3-5cm beyond and around the physical body). The attunement produces an increase of energy within the etheric aura of the student, pushing the 7 Major Chakras to open more, which in turn creates more energy being absorbed by the functions of the physical body. As the Kundalini (Soul) energy increases, this also impacts the Nervous, Immune and Endocrine systems. At each Siam Reiki level up to Siam Reiki Master (level 3) the student always receives 4 attunements, in order to open the student as an effective and efficient channel for the Reiki energy. At each of these levels the student receives a maximum of 2 attunements per day of their training, which allows time for their body to adjust to the increased frequency/energy levels running through it. With Siam Reiki the student is required to wait a minimum period between each level (2 months between levels 1 & 2, and 6 months between levels 2 & 3) to allow time for them to adjust and to gain the necessary experience as a channel for the Spiritual energy that is being sent through their body every time they perform a treatment. For someone who is looking to become attuned to Reiki, it is important to be aware that in order for an effective attunement to take place, the person calling themselves a Reiki Teacher needs their own chakras to be open enough, and to have enough energy flowing through them, in order to perform a Reiki attunement; so if they have never performed treatments on clients, they are simply not capable of performing an attunement and passing the Reiki energy on to the student. It is also important to be aware of Reiki Teachers who claim that an attunement can be done from a distance. Based on the extensive experiences of Siam Reiki Founder, Steve Burgess, and Brahmajarns of the Siam Reiki Council, the energy transfer needs to take place inside the etheric aura of the student, and therefore an attunement simply cannot be performed from a distance. In our opinion, the only way of receiving a genuine Reiki attunement is from a qualified Reiki Master Teacher who is giving the student an attunement ‘up close and personal’ within the etheric aura of the student – and it’s as simple as that!
So for those of you who’ve never received a Reiki attunement, you may now be wondering what kind of experiences one might have in this process. Well, receiving an attunement is quite like receiving a Reiki treatment – only, in the space of a few minutes! How the student experiences this process is very much dependent on the individual, and will also be impacted by how recently they’ve received or given a Reiki treatment/treatments themselves, and whether or not they have a new Guide or Guides coming in to work with them during this process, and so on. During the attunement and in the period after, people can have experiences that include sensations of dizziness or floating, the heightening of the 6th Sense, feeling sick, a period of physical detoxification, feeling unusually emotional, and/or an introduction or increase in paranormal experiences. For someone who’s never experienced Reiki before, perhaps some of these may sound a little scary, but an important aspect of becoming a Reiki therapist is understanding that every experience you have plays an important role in your development on your spiritual path, and you will never receive more than you are able to work through – it’s kind of like ‘homework’ from the school of life! As many of you who are already busy looking at health from an ‘alternative’ view-point will be aware, detoxification happens to us in every moment of our being, and is necessary for the sustenance of our long-term health. So whilst it may not feel all that pleasant if you find yourself feeling unwell or overly emotional shortly after learning a Siam Reiki level, more than likely once the tough part is over you’re going to find yourself feeling much better than you did before you did the training and received the attunements. And this, by the way, is a pretty good sign that you’re already progressing well on your own path to a better state of health and wellbeing!
If you’d like to learn more about attunements with Siam Reiki or are interested in learning with one our dedicated IAHHS Siam Reiki Master Teachers, send your enquiry HERE, or you can search for a teacher in your area under Siam Reiki Professionals (subheading Siam Reiki Teachers). We would like to provide readers with a collection of accounts of people’s attunement experiences with Siam Reiki in the future, so if you have a story you’d like to share with others, please write to us HERE.
