Going deep into the Temazcall, a prehispanic ritual that mimics the womb of mother earth recycling the energies with the four elements. A ceremony of respect and devotion to align ourselves and with the universe.
Fire was brought into the Temazcall in the shape of red hot stones called 'abuelitas'. Water was let in in big buckets to be poured over the hot stones to create steam. Wind was activated by the changes of temperature and Earth was represented by the Temazcall itself as the mother of all creatures.
The time went by singing and praying to the four elements. We took turns to manifest our desires and each one did the best we could to clear and heal our energies and life.
It was truly a rebirth. At some point I thought I couldn't hold for any longer. After 4 entries and lots of hot stones the heat inside the sacred igloo got almost unbearable and I felt I was going to pass out at some point. I wanted to get out but my will power kept me in. I was not going to miss this unique opportunity for inner transformation. So, I stayed inside while my skin was soaked in sweat, my energy levels were dropping at high speeds and still we were chanting and praying for light and love.
Got the moment of birth. I feel it was something like being born as a baby. The timing was perfect. My will power was tested to its limits and when I thought I was either going to go weak or grow stronger and I chose to grow stronger. Didn't care for how long I was going to stay in there. I was willing to stay for as long as it takes. I started to ask to let us out in a calmed manner but letting the 'temazcalero' take us through the 'coming out' process.
As we crawl out of that place I felt I had no energy left. The process had been exhausting but I was feeling great, like fresh, like new.
We lied down on big mats that were prepared for us just outside the temple and we stayed there for a moment. Have no idea how long it lasted, mayby about 10-15mins but it felt shorter. I felt so happy and renewed. We were smiling and in silence absorbing the moment. Little by little we began to get up while the 'temazcalero' told us stories about the secred mountain, energy entities and spiritual powers.
I was feeling great thou very tired. My body was recycling my vital energy but my spirit was shining like gold.
Later we met my 2nd mother. My aunt Manina. My fathers sister. Went for lunch and then to her home. It was like going back in time, I loved seeing my old home and pieces of my past still standing strong, at least in willingness and love. I felt so much loved and my love was flowing like an abundant river.
I loved today, the Temazcall, the sacred mountain 'Tepozteco' my friends and loved ones, the moment, the air, fire, wind and water.
I thank everything and everyone all the time.
