Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 Sat Nam to everybody! I have heard once that it would be better not to take a shower at all right after a KY class, because it "washes away" some of the benefits (in your aura). Quite difficult anyway for those who sweat a lot. Did anybody hear this too?.. Love and blessings, Sat Sarbat Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Sat Nam, Wash your hair in warm water and then end with a cold shower. Cold water at the very end on the head feels great to me. I love how it opens the crown chakra. I feel better the whole day. If I had short hair I would do this every am. I am going to give some details on how I have learned to take a cold shower. It is not meant to shock the system ie. the internal organs. So men must wear undershorts and women shorts that cover the thighs. The calcium magnesium balance is regulated in the thighs. If you begin with a warm shower, then the cold must be long enough to close the pores and stimulate the circulation in the capilaries. And to wake up the aura. This is how I do it. Warm shower, wash hair and body. Put on shorts. Turn cold water on all the way but leave the hot water on. It is cool but not shocking. Massage body in cool water about 4 rounds. Then turn all the hot water off. Massage body 5-10 rounds in cold water. As was said before, if you live where the water is really cold, you may want to leave some of the hot on or you may need less than 10 rounds. I live in Southern California and the only time we have cold water is in the winter. Summer is a drag -- no cold water. A round goes like this. Massage face with cold water. Massage chest, and under arms with water on these parts. Head next if washing hair. Turn around massage back as much as I can with water on back. Step out of water on torso. Water on lower legs, massage backs of lower legs with bottom of feet. Stimulates bottom of feet. Turn around massage front of lower legs with feet. Step back. Bring one leg at a time (obviously) under water. Massage lower leg and bottom of foot under water. Repeat with other leg. Step back into water on face. Continue same sequence, face, chest etc. This way the internal organs, body below the waist and upper thighs avoid much of the cold, but the rest of the body gets a good massage and awakening. I do this until I feel myself getting too cold. Then I know I must stop. The first round is hard but after that my body is eager for the stimulation.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2001 Report Share Posted February 3, 2001 Dear Gururattan Kaur: > I am going to give some details on how I have learned to take a >cold shower. Where in your process do you do the oil massage (or if you don't, where would you suggest doing it?). I have found the oil massage very helpful for my skin, and although I can see efficiency benefits to your approach, I still want that oil Thanks, and many blessings, Sadhant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found the oil massage > very helpful for my skin, and although I can see efficiency benefits > to your approach, I still want that oil I actually prefer putting oil on after my shower. Keeps my skin moist. The party line is to appy it before the shower. In which case you actually use only a little bit, enough to massage your body and warm it up, ideally for the cold shower. There is not much use to apply the oil before a shower if one takes warm first. Only if you take a cold shower and need to warm your body up first. I also like to brush my body with a natural brush before my shower. That too warms up the body too. BTW, almond oil is the recommended oil. It is cheaper and actually good quality to buy almond oil for cooking. Could even be better quality than that sold for the body.
