II. The Steam Procedure – An Alternative Bathing Method
______________________
DEFINITION
The steam or loyly procedure is the use of a steam room, steam shower, steam sauna or just steam to bath and heal the body. Loyly is the name of certain advanced souls that assist a person who uses steam.
There is a growing worldwide movement to use steam in showers or sauna rooms. We are researching this because it has definite health benefits.
HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS OF STEAM
We are learning that these are many. Among the most important are:
- Steam is very cleansing for the body. The use of steam for cleaning is well-known. In fact, it is the best way to remove grease and other types of filth from a surface.
- Steam is quite non-toxic. It is quite a pure product. If one uses distilled water to make the steam, it is even better.
In contrast, washing with soap and water is always somewhat toxic, even the best quality soap. Many soaps are quite toxic because they contain colors, fragrances and other chemical additives.
- When one produces steam, one generally produces some open water. This means the bond angle of the water is wider than standard water.
Open water has a number of interesting properties. It is germicidal and healing for the body. It dissolves toxins better than regular water and carries them away from the body better.
- Steam kills germs. This is due to the heat and the open water, as explained above. As a result, steam is quite germicidal – it kills many bacteria and viruses. However, steam will not kill bugs and parasites on the skin.
- Steam attracts very advanced souls to the body. They are called loyly in some languages. The word loyly is similar to the word lovely in English.
These souls help heal and develop the body. For this reason, steam is a healing substance that cannot be easily duplicated.
For the full loyly effect, one needs to use the steam daily for several months, at least. Then you attract enough of them to make a real difference. You become what they call a steamer - a person whom they like and can help.
- Steam is fairly warm or yang in macrobiotic terminology, more so than liquid water. This is helpful at this time in history because most, if not all the bodies are too cold or yin. As a result, steam has a more balancing effect on the bodies than just bathing in water.
- Steam tends to have a right spin. As a result, using steam tends to spin the body's energy centers to the right, which is the correct spin. This is very important for healing.
- Steam has a down energy. Helping move subtle energy downward from the head to the feet is extremely important for health and for development.
- Steam is extremely relaxing for the body.
- Steam has impact energy (the sixth development movement).
- Steam assists development. Development is a wonderful and quite amazing genetic upgrade of the body. Knowledge of it has been suppressed on earth for many years, but it is the truth. For details, read Introduction To Development.
Use of steam speeds up development for many of the reasons listed above, such as:
Steam kills certain infections and the souls it attracts help the body. Steam also tends to spin subtle energy to the right, which helps the energy centers of the body to spin correctly. Steam also has a down energy, which is very helpful for health and development. Steam is also relaxing.
- The heat of a steam room is a powerful way to shut down the sympathetic nervous system. This is excellent for detoxification and all healing. Inability to shut down the sympathetic system is a problem for millions of people. For details, read Sympathetic Dominance.
- Using a steam room with others is a very pleasant and relaxing social experience, providing one is safe. Steam saunas and Native sweat lodges have been used for thousands of years in some cultures for family and other social gatherings.
POSSIBLE LOCATIONS
One can use steam in a standard shower enclosure, in a sauna, in a wooden steam cabinet, in a plastic steam tent, or in a steam room. One can also convert a small room or closet into a steam room or visit a steam room at a hotel or health club. Here are more details.
STEAM BATHING IN A SHOWER ENCLOSURE
I have a bathtub-sized shower area. I sit on a bench inside the shower area with a Shark X5 H20 steam mop next to me to generate steam.
One can use any steam mop, but this one has a removable mop head and handle that make it a little easier to use. One can also use just a pot of water that one boils to make steam.
Why a steam mop? This steam mop produces a lot of steam quickly using a flash burner. As a result, there is no need to pre-heat the space. One can also direct the rather powerful steam flow toward the body for a more intense experience.
The Shark X5 steam mop costs about $140.00 US dollars. If it breaks, however, they replaced my steam generator unit for $30.00, including shipping, even though it was off warranty.
It has a removable mop head. It also comes with a tube that attaches where the mop head attaches that can be used to direct the steam. However, I am not using the tube right now.
I put distilled water in the steam mop, although the instructions say you can use any type of water. Distilled water contains fewer minerals and should keep the steam mop cleaner inside and extend its life.
To make water for the steam mop, I bought a Megahome water distiller. You may be able to buy distilled water. Where I live I am told that store-bought distilled water is slightly contaminated.
NOTE: Megahome water distillers have a problem. They stop working after a while. I fixed it by opening the bottom and removing an electrical device that looks like a resistor or diode, but it says it is a fuse. It is covered up. Uncover it, cut the wires to it, remove it, twist the wires together, and cover them with a wire nut. I don't know if other brands of water distillers have the same problem.
Another steam method. Instead of a steam mop, a less costly method is to use a hot plate with a pot of water on it to generate steam. I sometimes use this method, or combine it with the steam mop.
If you use a hot plate and a pot of water to make steam, you can use any water. You can also add herbs or coffee to the water for extra therapy.
Boiling water in a pot to make steam is slower. As a result, one needs to get it started at least 15 minutes before you want to take a steam shower.
Skin brushing. I put a body brush in front of the steam for about 10 seconds and then I “hot brush” a part of the body. When the brush cools down, I put it in front of the steam again. I brush the whole body, starting with the hair and moving downward.
Sealing the shower area. It is helpful if the shower seals completely. This is easiest if the shower has a plexiglass or glass door rather than a shower curtain. However, one can use any shower area.
It also works best if one seals the top of the shower area by placing a tight “lid” on the shower. I use a piece of plastic sheeting that is double thickness. On top of this I put a piece of foam wall insulation for extra insulation.
ADVANTAGES OF THE STEAM BATHING PROCEDURE
- Very, very clean. The steam is very cleansing without needing soap. This is especially true if you use distilled water in the steam machine. The shower area also stays clean.
- Antiseptic. Steam is very good to kill germs. Showering with tap water is often not so clean.
- Conserves water. It uses very little water – about two cups.
- Soul help. I am told that the loyly, special souls that are attracted to the steam, are helpful for healing.
- Good for apartments. One can do this in a rental house or apartment. It does not require altering the plumbing or anything else.
- Easy drying. You may not need to dry yourself off after bathing. I live in a dry climate and the body dries by itself in a few minutes when I leave the steam enclosure. This method is cleaner than using towels.
This saves dirtying towels. Another reason not to dry off is the body is so clean after it that even a clean towel is not as clean.
- Hot skin brushing. The procedure includes skin brushing, an excellent healing procedure. I use a body brush with a long handle. I hold it in front of the steam mop for about 10 seconds until it is hot and wet. Then I rub it on a part of the body. I start with the head and work down the body. A synthetic bristle brush is softer.
For cleanliness, I sometimes don't use the skin brush on the genitals. To clean this area I pick up the steam generator or use the steam tube and aim it at that part of the body for a minute, or so.
- Soap. I don't use soap. The steam and hot water will wash away most dirt and grease. Steam cleaning is used to clean filthy car engines, for example.
- Breathing. One breathes the steam. This is helpful for the nasal passages and the bronchial tubes.
- Washing shoes. If you wear shoes made of a synthetic material, you can bring them into the shower area with you and clean them by aiming steam at them.
- A powerful liver detoxification. I aim the steam mop at my face for at least five minutes. The skin of the face is the most active skin of the body. This is because it is not covered up by clothing. Besides feeling very good, I am told the liver can use this skin, in particular, for detoxification. The heat opens the pores to assist.
- Reflexology. Aiming a steam mop at the ears and eyes for a few minutes is an excellent reflexology therapy. You may be able to open your eyes while using steam and it is good for the eyes.
- Clothing. You can wear clothing if you wish because the steam is not too wet. I wear underpants because I am told they help keep coffee in the body. NOTE: At this time, the thugs, satans or rogues try to steal coffee that is inside the body. I take the underwear off to wash underneath it.
I am told that wearing a little clothing in the shower is also helpful for some women, in particular, who have been traumatized by the thugs in the shower. This is explained below.
- For women – steaming the vagina. To get steam into the vagina requires opening it up. One way is to buy a medium-sized hand egg beater. Some are shaped like a ball or a tear drop and made of metal wire. It can be inserted in the vagina to open it up.
- Relaxing and luxurious. The steam bathing experience is very relaxing and luxurious.
- Trauma healing. Steam bathing may help if one is uncomfortable bathing in a standard shower due to trauma from the thugs or satans. Some of our women clients report they are very uncomfortable in a regular shower.
The thugs or satans often use showers to traumatize people. Large, filthy, smelly, brainwashed “men” roughly and violently beat, rape, kiss, and scream at women in the shower. This is all kept quite secret, but it is true.
The “men” also use the shower for other tortures such as “deaths”. This involves freezing, burning, and drowning the body for brainwashing purposes. For details, read The Rogues and Rape.
OTHER STEAM ARRANGEMENTS
- In a sauna. This can work well provided you can seal the sauna.
- In a wooden steam cabinet. This is an older method. It consists of a wooden box with a bench seat inside. One opens the door and sits down with your head outside the box. One uses a towel to seal the top of the cabinet, which is at the height of your neck. Under the seat one places a hot plate and a pot of water that one boils to produce steam.
A problem with this method is one's head is outside the cabinet. It is best if your head is exposed to the steam.
- In a plastic steam “tent”. These work fine and are not too costly. The enclosure consists of a frame and a thin plastic cover that stretches over the frame. It is usually the same shape as a steam cabinet, although a steam tent could be large enough that your head could fit inside.
One places a hot plate and pot of water underneath a chair in the tent or the steam source could be outside the tent and a tube from the pot could send the steam inside the tent.
- Using a public steam room. This is a separate room designed specially as a steam room. These are found in some fancy homes and at health clubs, spas and some hotels.
We cannot recommend steam rooms at health clubs or gym. These places are often unclean and unsafe, particularly for women. If a woman wants to use a public steam room, ideally go there with a male friend for safety and sit on a lot of towels for cleanliness.
A steam room uses a large steam generator to produce enough steam to fill the entire room. Most are electric powered, but some burn wood to produce the steam.
- Make your own steam room at home. This is somewhat costly, but not that difficult. It is best if it is small, well insulated, well-sealed, has a vapor barrier and the ceiling is not too high. This will reduce the amount of steam needed.
HOW TO MAKE STEAM
I am aware of three methods to make steam:
1. Heaters. One can use a hot plate and a pot to make steam. On the internet you can also buy an electric steam sauna steam generator. It is basically an electric pot with a timer and different heat settings.
For a large steam room, one can buy more costly steam generators that produce more steam. They usually use 220 volts.
Traditional saunas use a heater with a special design. They have a metal basket on top of the heater. One puts special rocks into the basket once the heater heats up. Pouring some water on the rocks makes steam.
2. Flash burners. A flash burner repeatedly injects a little water into a chamber that heats the water. This converts the water into steam very fast.
I am currently using a Shark X5 steam mop with the head removed to make steam. The steam mop has a flash burner to make steam. The flash burner makes a little noise, but I don't find this objectionable.
3. Vaporizers. Another method to make steam is to use a vaporizer. This makes steam by a different method. It contains two electrodes that sit in a container of water. I know less about this method and I don't think it makes as much steam.
All these methods also attract loyly, the special souls who are attracted to steam.
STEAMING THE WHOLE BODY
Using a shower enclosure, steam sauna or steam room, one can easily apply steam to the whole body. You can just turn on the steam generator and sit comfortably.
Water. Drink at least 16 ounces of water before any steam procedure. This is a safety measure and will also enhance detoxification.
Clothing. It is best not to wear too much clothing, such as just a bathing suit, so the steam reaches the entire body.
How long. A simple cleanup takes about 10-15 minutes. To relax and heal, you can spend 20 to 60 minutes in the steam room or space. Be careful with children, who may not be able to handle as much time as adults.
How often. We recommend using steam at least several times a week. It can be used daily or even twice daily. I am currently using steam twice a day after the morning and afternoon enemas.
For how long. To receive the most benefit, one needs to repeat the steam experience for at least several months. One can safely use steam one's entire life.
Towels. You can sit on a small towel for cleanliness and use a small towel to wipe off sweat. However, wiping off sweat is not really needed.
The higher up in the steam room that one sits, the hotter it is. This can be important to make the steam session pleasant and safe.
Skin Brushing using a steam mop. I turn on the steam generator. Then I use a body brush that I hold in front of the steam unit for a few seconds so that it heats up and gets a little wet. I use the brush to do skin brushing. Slowly the shower area becomes more and more steamy, adding to the steam effect.
PARTIAL BODY STEAMING – OTHER AREAS
You can apply steam any area of the body that needs healing. Steam can help to heal injuries, wounds, sprains, insect bites, and infections. To direct the steam, one needs a steam nozzle or hose.
THE STEAM LIVER DETOX PROCEDURE
We just discovered (June 2024) a safe, simple and powerful method to help detoxify the liver:
First apply steam to the whole body using a steam room or shower or sauna enclosure and skin brushing. Then apply steam just to the face for about ten minutes or more. This causes the aura of the liver to brighten up a lot. It works because the skin of the face is the most active skin of the body. The steam opens the pores and the body can eliminate poisons through this skin.
GENITAL STEAMING
This is a very old and very good healing method. People report this method is extremely relaxing.
The effects. These include general relaxation, excellent cleaning of the area, healing of infections and trauma, reduction in pain and other discomfort, and help for other problems related to these organs. In a woman, for example, steaming may help symptoms of premenstrual tension or other reproductive disorders.
The procedure. There are different ways to steam the genital organs. A simple way is to sit in front of a pot that is filled with water you have brought to a boil. Place a towel over your mid-section so that the steam from the water goes to the genital area.
To do this, set up a low stool or chair where you will do the procedure. Then fill a medium-sized pot with water. Put it on the stove and bring it to a boil.
At this point, if you wish to add herbs to the water, you can do so. We are researching this aspect of steaming and will write about it in the future. Herbs may need to steep in the hot water for about 15-20 minutes.
When ready, set the pot on the floor in front of the stool. Remove underwear and sit on the small stool or chair so the steam from the hot water goes to the genital area. Cover your mid-section with a towel to keep the steam in. Sit comfortably for 15-30 minutes.
Alternative method for genital steaming. If one is using a steam mop as a steam generator, one can simply aim the steam at whatever part of the body one wishes.
A problem with vaginal steaming. The problem is how to get the steam to penetrate deeply into the vagina. We are researching possible ways to open up the vagina so the steam will penetrate deeply. One idea is to place a medium-sized hand egg beater inside the vagina to open it up. This device is made of thin metal wires. Here is a link to one of them: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1311&_nkw=hand+mixer+beaters&_sacat=13905&_odkw=hand+beater&_osacat=13905
We are repeating some information that is above because steam is so excellent as a method of removing toxins from the liver and other organs of the body. One of our clients is using a local steam bath and removing toxins very deeply. Here are reasons why steam is very helpful for detoxification:
- The water in steam is fairly distilled with few minerals or other impurities. This tends to draw poisons out of the body better than the water in a standard shower or bath.
- Since steam is fairly distilled, one absorbs fewer poisons from steam than from bath or shower water.
- Making steam attracts unusual souls called loyly. They help with detoxification and other activities.
- Making steam produces some open water. This is an unusual product that is very excellent for detoxification.
- Adding heat to the body shuts down the sympathetic nervous system. This assists the parasympathetic system, which does not function well in many people. The parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system has a powerful healing and detoxifying effect.
- Steam has other relaxing effects on the body. It is “soft” to the touch, warm, “loving” and friendly. This also assists detoxification.
- Steam on the face, in particular, has a detoxifying effect. The reason is the skin on the face is active because it is exposed to the elements and not covered up by clothing most of the time. The skin of the face and steam are, by themselves, a powerful detoxification system.
- Steam is fairly yang in macrobiotic terminology. This might seem impossible since steam is just water. However, I am told steam has unusual properties that are different from water. One of these is it is more compact and more warming than water. This is called more yang, a quality needed today by everyone.
- Steam has a downward moving quality to it. This promotes healing and detoxification.
- Steam hydrates the tissues. This is helpful because many people are somewhat dehydrated, which impairs detoxification.
- Steam improves circulation by warming and relaxing the body. This is very helpful for detoxification.
- Steam helps oxygenate the body because breathing it helps the lungs. More oxygen assists detoxification.
- Steam tends to spin chi or subtle energy to the right and has impact energy, as well. These assist detoxification.
- Combining steam with the rest of the development program is particularly excellent. Steam combines very well with the development diet, the supplements, coffee enemas, red heat lamp therapy, the twists, pops and pulls, reflexology, the pulling down procedure and other healing and detoxification procedures.
Burns. Steam is very hot and it is easy to burn oneself.
Children. We believe steaming is safe for children age 6 or above. We do not recommend it for babies or younger children.
Always be sure children drink plenty of water and check children for overheating. Symptoms are turning reddish in color or becoming weak. In this case, stop the steam therapy.
Dehydration. Steaming can be intense. Be sure to drink enough water before doing a steam.
Fever. Steam is a heat therapy. If you feel very hot, we would stop whole-body steam therapy because it will increase your body temperature a few degrees. However, steam can be used if you have a mild fever.
Illness. At this time, we believe it is fine and perhaps excellent to steam the body if one has a cold, flu, fever or other acute illness. We don't have enough research to say if there are illnesses in which one should not use steam.
Menstruation. One can steam the body during menstruation, but it may be messy.
Movement. Always move slowly and carefully in a steam room because the floor may be slippery, one may not be able to see clearly, and you might feel somewhat weak.
Pregnancy and birth. As far as we know, using steam is safe during pregnancy. Steam saunas have been used during pregnancy in some cultures for hundreds of years. In fact, steam saunas are used as birthing rooms in some cultures and work very well.
IV. OTHER TOPICS
We have an article and book, Sauna Therapy. It discusses many topics about using heat for healing. However, at this time it does not include a section about using steam.
COMBINING PROCEDURES – PULLING DOWN
While steaming, move subtle energy downward from your head to your feet. The steam procedure will make this easier.
The pulling down procedure is one of the finest development procedures. For details, read The Pulling Down Procedure.
COMBINING THERAPIES - ADDING REDDISH HEAT LAMPS
The energy of a reddish heat lamp is superb for healing and we find it necessary for optimum health. It is possible to add this to a steam session.
Adding a reddish heat lamp to a steam room or sauna requires putting it in a waterproof box with glass at the front. This is important because the lamp is not designed to be exposed to much water. For more details, read Single Lamp Therapy.
For a partial steam, such as vaginal or penis steaming where you sit, you can just aim a reddish heat lamp at yourself while you are doing the steaming procedure. The red light must strike your skin, so don't wear a shirt.
One can also do the spinal twists, pop, pulls and kicks while in a steam bath, providing the space is large enough. One can also do massage during a steam session.
