Sweat as Sacrament: A Microdosing Experience in the Sauna

Send us Fan MailThis is a stream-of-consciousness, channeled episode recorded from inside the infrared sauna on my phone.You’ll hear 23 minutes at 149 degrees F, my breath, my prayers, my discomfort, and what moves through me as I stay present with myself in heat and narrate my experience.This is not a teaching episode in the traditional sense. It’s an invitation into a lived, embodied moment in my real life, there are awkward pauses and all. Earlier that day, I worked intentionally with the sacraments, really leaning into Rose for some heart opening after a cranky morning. About an hour before entering the sauna, I took a very generous microdose with the Original Sacrament (15 drops), setting a clear intention to clear the post-Christmas mental chatter that was driving me a little batty and a moderate dose of cannabis, which always helps me really observe, think creatively, and feel my body very strongly.I entered the sauna not to escape sensation, but to meet it and to share how microdosing, detoxification, breath, and prayer can work together as a single embodied practice.As I sit in the heat, I narrate what’s arising in real time:Physical sensations and waves of discomfortEmotional and nervous system processingPrayer and breath as anchorsTwo sacred animal teachers who arrive and guide the experienceA tender moment with “Little Ry,” who appears through a photograph I notice outside the saunaThis episode was channeled as a way of expanding how I define embodiment.For me, embodiment now includes intentional detoxification practices, when they are approached with reverence, and presence to create a mind–body–spirit healing experience. When we weave ritual, prayer, breath, and sacramental support into practices that are often framed as purely physical, magic can unfold. The sauna becomes a temple, sweat becomes a prayer, and discomfort becomes information, not something to override or conquer.You may want to listen while resting, walking, journaling, or during your own slow, intentional practice. There is no right way to receive this, only an invitation to notice what moves through you as you listen.If you’re exploring microdosing, sacred mushrooms, cannabis, or detox practices as part of an embodied spiritual path, this episode offers a felt sense of how these elements can be woven together with care and intention.As always, move gently, stay with your body, and trust what it is telling you!________________________________________More than just a podcast, Embodied Microdosing is an invitation to become part of a growing community of self-healers.Our ministry offers support for your embodied microdosing experience!Courses, memberships, and content for your spiritual journey to heal.>> Visit Embodied Microdosing <<>> Work with the Sacraments <<>> Join the Membership <<Embodied Microdosing Ministry is a faith-based organization.
