Lotus Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Bathed in a freezing cold mountain spring today. Last time I did this was probably four years ago. The last time I did this my body was stiff and tense and I moved frantically to warm myself up. 5 minutes max in the water. Today, I fully relaxed, enjoyed the cold, enjoyed the inner heat, and stayed about 10 minutes in the water, with ease. Yay! Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 @DMT Elf I did an icebath on 31st of January for two minutes. We air dried ourselves outside in the middle of the wind. We weren't allowed to get dressed until we were dry. Until then, breathing and tai chi were the order of the day. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 This ain‘t a competition, though. Just inspiration. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 ❤️ Getting into cold water especially out in nature really is one of the best things ever in my opinion. 😊 Quote Mention Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was backpacking with some high school friends, and we hiked up to a glacial lake to swim. It was July and the hike was hot as hell, but the swim was the coldest I’ve ever been.

Lotus Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 @Mandy It‘s soo beautiful. 😊 @DMT Elf Best feeling when it makes ‚tssss‘ as soon as you put the hot body into the cold water! Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMT Elf Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 @Lotus And when you can’t even breath because the cold shocks you right to the core and leaves you paralyzed for a few seconds. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
