Tony Blair & Wife Went Thru Shame On Ceremony

"It was long assumed that Tony Blair, who wears his Christianity on his sleeve, did not share his wife's unorthodox enthusiasms. But that was before he and Cherie had a "rebirthing experience" under the supervision of one Nancy Aguilar while holidaying on the Mexican Riviera in the summer of 2001. The Times's detailed account of the prime ministerial mudbath is worth quoting at some length:
"Ms Aguilar told the Blairs to bow and pray to the four winds as Mayan prayers were read out ... Within the Temazcal, a type of Ancient Mayan steam bath, herb-infused water was thrown over heated lava rocks, to create a cleansing sweat and balance the Blairs' 'energy flow'.
"Ms Aguilar chanted Mayan songs, told the Blairs to imagine that they could see animals in the steam and explained what such visions meant. They were told the Temazcal was like the womb and those participating in the ritual must confront their hopes and fears before 'rebirth' and venturing outside. The Blairs were offered watermelon and papaya, then told to smear what they did not eat over each other's bodies along with mud from the Mayan jungle outside.
"The prime minister, on holiday just a month before the 11 September attacks, is understood to have made a wish for world peace. Before leaving, the Blairs were told to scream out loud to signify the pain of rebirth. They then walked hand in hand down the beach to swim in the sea."
Although Mayan rebirthing rituals are not yet available in Britain through the National Health Service, some of Cherie Blair's other peculiar obsessions have already been adopted as official policy. In January 1999 the government recruited a feng-shui consultant, Renuka Wickmaratne, for advice on how to improve inner-city council estates. "Red and orange flowers would reduce crime," she concluded, "and introducing a water feature would reduce poverty. I was brought up with this ancient knowledge."

Cherie Blair's well-known and widely scorned for her newage beliefs and acquaintances:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherie_Blair

The entire country collectively cringed when we heard about the mud bath thing - hypocritically, since lots of Brits do equally stupid newagey things to entertain themselves on holiday and at the weekend. Not wishing to minimise the crass offensiveness of what they did, I think they were only guilty of being as clueless as any other Brit who can afford to holiday in an expensive Mexican resort, and that's pretty clueless. On the other hand maybe we should expect more from the prime minister and his top-human-rights-lawyer wife.

The conspiranerds are like a dog with a bone over this story. They think it's evidence of Blair's membership of some kind of 'occult' secret society.
