Cold Shower(Ishnaan) and why it hurts

In addition to the physiological effects cold water breaks the teeth of any

illusion that we are separate. We will always get into trouble when we

feel we are alone or that we accomplish things only by our own power (e.g.. did

you make the roads that you drive on to work? It took all of our

taxes to pay for it). Sure God helps those who help themselves but after a point

in the cycle we all have to let all go (exhale) with the trust

that GOD will refill our cup (inhale).

A cold shower takes ya out of your mind and we are forced to feel it with our

body, and since addressing the body speaks to the 90% of our being

that is unconscious we are having a rather intense and open conversation

(through the language of breath, awareness and intention) with the

unknown.

Almond or sesame oil sort of "smooths" out the shock [of the cold water] to the

nerve endings.

P.S. If anyone wants Yogi Bhajan's 2 page comments on Ishnaan let me know

(unless you're writing a book)
