Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 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. Dharam P.S.
