The Sanctuary Experience - Sauna
THE WORD “SAUNA” MADE ITS FIRST APPEARANCE DURING THE LATE 1800’S IN FINLAND. EARLY FINNISH DESIGNS CONSISTED OF A HOLE IN THE GROUND THAT ACTED AS A SHELTER, AND WAS FILLED WITH HOT STONES FOR WARMTH DURING THE FRIGID SCANDINAVIAN WINTERS.
THE CONCEPT OF A SAUNA DATES MUCH FURTHER BACK TO THE NEOLITHIC PERIOD IN GREENLAND, WHERE STRUCTURES BUILT FROM STONES WERE USED AS HEATED BATH HOUSES.
IN THIS ARTICLE WE’LL EXPLORE THE ORIGINS OF SAUNA, AND HOW ITS EVOLVED INTO WHAT WE KNOW IT TO BE IN MODERN TIMES. WE’LL ALSO EXPLORE THE HEALING EFFECTS OF THIS WELLNESS PRACTICE, AND HOW A SAUNA CULTURE HAS DEVELOPED AROUND THE WORLD.
AND AS ALWAYS, WE’VE INCLUDED OUR BUCKET LIST OF GLAMPTUARYS THAT FEATURE AMAZING SAUNA EXPERIENCES IN CASE YOU WANT TO SWEAT IT OUT.
THE HEAT IS ON!
The Sanctuary Experience - Psychedelic Therapy
WITHOUT PLANTS AND FUNGI, HUMANS WOULD NOT EXIST.
OUR WAY OF LIVING IS DEPENDENT ON HOW WE CARE FOR THESE ESSENTIAL ORGANISMS THAT MAKE LIFE POSSIBLE. PLANTS AND FUNGI CLEAN OUR AIR, PROVIDE NOURISHMENT, DECOMPOSE DEBRIS, AND ARE PRETTY TO LOOK AT (IN MOST CASES).
WHEN PLANTS AND FUNGI ARE NOT BUSY CLEANING THE PLANET, OR PROVIDING THE FOOD WE EAT, THEY CAN ALSO OFFER US AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND OUR MENTAL CAPABILITIES.
THE USE OF PSYCHEDELICS IN HEALING THERAPY IS ON THE RISE, AND MORE AND MORE LOCATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE ARE LEGALIZING THE USE OF PSYCHEDELICS FOR BOTH THERAPEUTIC AND RECREATIONAL USE.
IN THIS ARTICLE, WE’LL LEARN ABOUT A SPECIAL GROUP OF PSYCHEDELIC PLANTS AND FUNGI KNOWN AS ENTHEOGENS. WE’LL ALSO HIGHLIGHT SOME GLAMPTUARYS AROUND THE WORLD WHO EMBRACE THE POWER OF NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE, AND THE GOAL OF ACHIEVING A HIGHER FORM OF EXISTENCE.
