I will briefly explain to you how it works for me. Keep in mind that there are many cultural leaders in the world, and ceremonies change among different\u003cbr\u003epeople; there is not a right or wrong way. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA purification ceremony consists of four rounds: a spoken message, song, prayer, and water poured over hot rocks. We look to the Creator of all for enlightenment and guidance; we pray for ourselves and others. We ask for knowledge, healing, vision, and strength. After each round, the door opens to release steam and bring in drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first round is for the teacher and the little children, the second is for the women and the healer, the third is for the visionary and the men, and the fourth round is for the leader and the elders. So these rounds are also east, south, west, and north: fire, earth, water, and air. We look to the seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sweat lodge ceremony is to help us be more selfless and willing to make the world a better place. So, we strive to purify ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_5yl5\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_5yl5\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roy Henry Vickers Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40472924717105,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/9996\/4204\/files\/DBACA884-4314-4F0C-AF8D-037B20CEE554_1_105_c.jpg?v=1723329874","url":"https:\/\/royhenryvickers.com\/products\/purification-artist-proof-10-10","provider":"Roy Henry Vickers Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
