Energetic Superbond in the Heat of Sauna by Maria and Janne P.

In Finland people have been born and died in sauna and all the phases of life in between birth and death have been experienced in sauna too. Sauna was a sacred place and at the same time so everyday thing. Being naked has been very natural for finns because of the sauna culture. Also birth, sickness, menstruation and death has been part of life. People went to sauna together in many families and it is still so in many families. People lived very near each other, the whole extended family in the same room, so nakedness and sex were all just part of life. Of course nowadays we all are more far away from these natural occasions in life, birth, menstruation, sickness and death, but still maybe there is something left of this heritage of the natural or even sacred attitude towards these things.

We still live in a house without shower and we only have a sauna for washing. Our relationship towards nakedness, body liquids and menstrual blood has always been natural and neutral and sauna has been also a good place for me and my husband to have sex during menstrual bleeding not to make bloody sheets. In these pictures we had been berry picking in the woods for some days and we came home dreaming of washing in the sauna and having sex after sleeping in the tent with kids the night before. Nowadays it is not just natural and neutral anymore, but it is the most sacred thing; mixing blood and semen creates an energetic superbond between us and is something that we do not share with anyone else. I was bleeding heavily that night and blood was all over, but in the heat of the sauna, washing each other´s bodies afterwards was part of this most beautiful sharing and bonding between us.

I feel proud, gratitude and touched that I have this heritage of sauna and so beautiful, natural attitude towards body, menstruation and sex and that my husband so naturally shares it with me. For him it is just as it is, sometimes women bleed and so it is. We would love to encourage other couples and especially men to get more used to blood as its naturalness and sacredness. And also to encourage lovers to share this valuable bonding by mixing blood and semen with the one you feel right to do it. Remembering how sacred it is and how important it is to choose carefully with whom to share this great vow.
