Ice bathing & Cold Dipping
The practice of submerging your body in cold water of less than 17° or down to 0° Celsius can both be challenging and rejuvenating, a great social activity and a deep personal meditation, a fountain of youth and an immune system booster
If this potentially high risk practice is done safely a variety of benefits can be experinced
- deeper sleep cycles
- faster temperature regulation for cool climates
- heightened dopamin base levels & mood balance
- faster recovery for athletes
- increased mindfulness & pain resistance
If you are ready to explore the world of cold temperatures and its benefits for you consider the following
- go with others, who are experienced and excited about the practice, use a safe spot to dip
- wear warm & comfy clothes – so you are warm on your way and from the cold dip
- go in somewhere between 10 – 120 seconds in under 10°Celsius water, longer if interested in warmer water
- make it about a conscious exploration for your personal growth, not proving anything to anybody
- have fun
