Cold showers!

[Guest guest]

Someone sent me cold shower info that had been posted before my time

here. I can see this topic has been done to death! But! Happy to

report I understand what I'm doing in there now. I like the "lake

Michigan" technique, that's pretty much what I was doing except I

was calling it the Hokey pokey...ya put your right in... Ha Ha!

I also like the idea of chanting Wahe Guru!! Although I'm pretty

sure my husband wouldn't like that idea as much as I would at 4am!

Over the past couple of months, ever since I got

the tips from Dharam/Peiter's posting on cold showers,

I have been trying the cold shower bath. It is

actually a very cool thing to do, I realized. While I

was always quite towards a cool shower ( I never felt

fresh after

a warm/hot water bath, it made me feel tired instead),

it was quite a challenge in snowy winters. My baths

usually

were pushed towards afternoons, took a long while as

I contemplated whether to step into the bath at all,

and had goose pimples, once I stepped in, even from

lukewarm water. The

vigorous oil rubs followed by a vigorous scrubbing

in small circles when cold water is poured has

alleviated all these

problems of mine. It also just brings the body

temperature to the right level of warmth it needs

(not too hot/too cold). This makes you feel plain

fresh. I also do not have dry skin, unlike in previous

snowy winters I experienced (and, the moisturizers

never really helped then). I noticed, though, that if

I do not apply oil before the cold shower, my finger

tips tend

to go numb for a while after the vigorous scrubbing

with icy cold water. Bathing in cold water has become

a very nice experience, actually a

looking-forward-to-ritual, for me everyday. Thanks

very much to the people who sent in the tips on

cold-shower baths.

 

BTW, this new year's occasion, I wish you all a

very healthy life and also all the good things in all

spheres of life.

 

Enjoy,

Gayathri
