We’ve had many experiences in Sweat Lodges and when I lived in Alaska I had the pleasure of using a Banya. For both Health and Spiritual these spaces are great and can be inexpensive to build and operate. From Simple Lodges such as Traditional Sweat Lodges and Banya’s to more elaborate Sauna designs the Banya or Sweat Lodge is a great way to relax, and improve your Health, and Spiritual well being.

We sometimes use our Banya as a wake up space and enjoy the warmth. In the summers our Banya is one of the cooler places on our property. Our dogs love it and often hang out inside on hot days.

The Stained Glass door on the front was made by Susan’s Father and Susan made the Kokopelli (Recycled Steel Cut out with Glass) Other glass recycled from glass projects and bottles from friends.

The Banya I must admit is an easier way of getting to the point of sweating. Traditional Sweats can involve an elaborate ceremony taking some time to heat and move the rocks and as I discovered the banya’s in Alaska the Fire Tender would freeze. A Banya takes only a short time to heat up and is able to heat the space longer and hotter. The health benefits are obvious. I guess that’s why we built one. Other benefits. It’s outside and coming out of the Banya into the cool night air is always pleasing. Can’t wait for the snow!

We used Cotton Wood Logs as they are the logs most available. Placed in sand 2′ deep and mudded in place. At first we were going to use many logs to cover the roof, but thanks to Bob Villa and “This Old House” and seeing a show which used (recycled) bamboo fencing as a cover and then they muded the bamboo directly.

This method allowed us to be more creative with the flow of the roof and actually channel the run off from rains just where we wanted it to go. (Away from the door.)

Saving on the logs for the roof actually gave us enough materials to build a fence. More on that in our “Going Green” in the Garden coming soon.

Links: What is a Banya, Sweat Lodge. Wikipedia helps out. ( Thanks )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banya_(sauna)
Banya (Russian: баня) is a traditional Russian steam bath. The banya is not as hot as the Finnish sauna, but what it lacks in temperature is compensated by pouring more water over the stones of the stove, creating steam and higher humidity. Studies have shown that the high-heat and method of producing steam in a Russian banya vaporises the water to smaller particles, implying a more effective vaporisation, which is meant to impart a more pervasive heating than can be achieved with other saunas, and feels dryer than Finnish saunas.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweat_lodge
The sweat lodge is a ceremonial sauna and an important ritual used by North American First Nations or Native American peoples. There are several styles of sweat lodges that include a domed or oblong hut similar to a wickiup, a teepee, or even a simple hole dug into the ground and covered with planks or tree trunks. Stones are heated in an exterior fire and then placed in a central pit in the ground. Often the stones are granite and they glow red in the dark lodge.

What else are we doing in our GREEN LIVES?

We got lot’s to share on going GREEN. Some of our future posts will include.
- WHY WOOD YOU? Building technologies are changing and dramatically so. “ICF” Insulated Concrete Forms. By Nudura. Distributed in New Mexico by Verde Design Group. LLC.

For two years we searched for a building material for our home. Traditional Stick Built, Concrete Block, Adobe, Straw Bail, Post and Beam. Our plans were modest a 16′ by 24′ foot print. Estimates ranged from $28K to $43K just for materials and Custom Built from $53K to $130K. What were we getting for our money in most of these building systems. Not what we wanted.

Did you know that you could completely eliminate your power bill, by constructing a zero point magnetic power generator?

A Zero point magnetic power generator is basically a Free Energy Generator. It uses magnets, and magnetic force to induce perpetual motion. It runs by itself, indefinitely without stopping, thus creating completely free electrical energy, which can fully power your home for free. A Perpetual motion device refers to a machine that runs perpetually i.e. indefinitely, and produces a larger amount of energy than it consumes. Thus, it produces free energy indefinitely, runs by itself, without having to need a third-party device or resource to power it. The free energy devices have been suppressed by the corporate world, because such devices, would allow people to create their own energy for free, which would ultimately shut down the big energy corporations, because people won’t need to pay anymore for electricity to fill their pockets.

Can this device be used to power a household?

The magniwork free energy generator, can be efficiently used to power your home with almost zero costs on your side. Furthermore, the generator is eco-friendly and doesn’t produce any harmful byproducts.Hundreds of successful magnets4energy generators have been built around the world, which is a proof that this technology really works! We predict that the technology will rapidly spread, and some industry-insiders even predict that the Magnets4energy free energy generators will be the energy in the future. These experts estimate, that by 2020 energy companies will start implementing this technology in order to create cheaper and more environment friendly energy. Until that time comes, you can use our technology at a very reasonable set-up cost.

How Much Does it Cost?

The magniwork generator DIY guide is on sale today (check bottom of the page for price), and all the raw materials needed cost less than 100$. The materials needed are very common, and can be easily found at your local hardware store. Once you get our generator set-up and working, you can even start building these generators for your friends and family.Our guide
includes over 50 pages of detailed instructions which are very easy to follow, even if you’re a complete novice. Furthermore, we offer 24/7 full technical support, thus, if you have any kind of problem or get stuck, you can contact us and and our friendly tech support team will respond quickly with details on how to resolve it.We have even received an e-mail from a customer from Cabot, Arkansas, who has started a local business, making and selling our generators.We do not mind you selling our technology, in fact, we encourage you do this, the more people spread the word, the better for our environment, and the more we’re going to save on electric energy.

How Much Can You Save?

The amount you can save by building the magnets4energy free energy generator can vary. If you decide to build our generator as a supplement to your current electrical installation, meaning, you are partially powering your household with magnets4energy, you can easily save anywhere in the range of 30-50%. This means that your power bill will reduce by 30-50%.If you decide to implement magnets4energy on a full-scale, it will independently power your household, meaning, you won’t have to pay anything to the power company. Our magnetic free energy generator will work by itself perpetually, and generate 100% free electric energy.
