An Unfortunate Happening...Not So Unfortunate Or The Cold Showers

[GodSeeker]

Two weeks ago I arrived home and found that my water heater does not work. Too bad, I thought. I had got to call the electrician to repair it, meanwhile I was bound to take cold showers, wash the dishes with cold water, etc. And as this is Automn, the temperature is low early in the morning and late in the night.

During 2 weeks I took morning cold showers. I can say that I feel invigorated, more alive. Somehow I dont grasp so easily on to negative thoughts as I used to. Cold water seems to force a feeling of vigor and liveliness that cannot coexsit with feeling down or sad even if I had sad thoughts.

After those 2 weeks I am completely used them.

So I did a little research and found that cold showers was used to heal a number of ailments one of which is depression, dryness of the skin, hair problems, and a lot more of health issues.

I decided that, unless I cannot do otherwise, I will continue to take cold showers and see what happens.

Has any of you tried them?

You could say that it gets the adrenalin pumping --but in a good way!

Steam is another thing to try. Steam yourself, then bathe in cold water. It's basically the same as the old sweat lodge treatment or Nordic bathing methods. Really opens up the pores.

Unfortunately, my heater is not yet fixed but the idea of steaming oneself is appealing.

It's been nearly one month now since my morning bath is a cold one. I can appreciate some changes in myself. I do not refer exclusively to physical improvements but to the mental attitude. I am more relaxed. My perception of the world is changing, I dont know how, why or since when but there is a definite transition going on in my life.

Some of the symptoms and thought patterns I have had for years are loosing their grip over myself. I dont know what is going on really bu there is a change taking place in my perceptions and therefore my reactions.

I will let Nature carry her masterwok and wont interfere but one thing is certain: I will continue with the cold showers.
