Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Greetings, I have been practicing KY for about 3 months now. In the morning I sometimes take a hot shower to cleanse myself and then do a cold rinse for 3 minutes after. Is the hot shower preceding the cold shower OK? Thanks for any info.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 That is perfectly fine. if you have muscle ache try this; cold shower alternate with hot, each one for two minutes. Always start with cold and finish with cold if you are doing this alternate thing for 20-30 minutes.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hi Floyd, I'm wondering if that's OK, Yogi Bhajan once told that it is like when you want to eat healthy, you start your dinner with a Big Mac and ends with healthy vegetables. Of course it's always good and healthy to eat vegetables, like have a cold shower, but preferably do not mix it with the hot shower first like eating the Big Mac first. Unless you use the hot shower to become more and more aquanted with the cold. I'm practising Ishnaan (cold shower technique) in the morning every day for almost 3 years now and I'm addicted to it!! In the evening I only do a hot shower, to free my body from the daily sweat and to enter my bed in a clean state, the cold shower in the morning really wakes me up and alert my senses, especially in wintertimes!!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 This takes me back...when I had an Ashram in Nebraska (in the 70's)our house did not have a shower so we would ease our way into a cold cold bathtub and after all of the huffing and puffing we would emerge from the tub awake and ready for sadhana. Nowadays my sadhana isn't what it used to be but, my cold showers aren't either....I found that my back would spasm if the water was too cold. So I temper the cold with some warm and it is a lot better. When I was living at Maha Deva Ashram in Tucson, we had a stand up pool we would jump into, it wasn't ice cold but it prepared us for our morning sadhana. We were about 40+ people with only 2 showers so we did what we could with what we had and the ashram would run pretty smoothly. In the Name of the Cosmos which prevails through everyBODY and the Holy Name that holds the world.
