Don’t do it if you are planning to go to sleep after shower, it awakes you. Also don’t do it if you are sick, feeling low on energy or hungry (great appetite booster BTW)

I remember clearly that yogis recommend washing your feet with cold water before going to bed. They explain that it helps falling asleep. FWIW.

My experience with taking cold showers before bed has so far been that first it wakes you up/refreshes you, but some time later the tiredness sets in and the sleep seems to be deeper.

The cold feet shower brings in the blood flow afterward which will drain the brain and will help to find a better sleep. The trick is to wear wool sucks after the cold bath so your feet will warm up faster.
 
When I Watch these videos the first thing I think is that we are definitely not equal about cold sensitive...
Even with no special training, some of my friends are able to enter a cold water with almost no difficulty. It has always been a nightmare for me...
Nonetheless, this evening, like yesterday, I began to train both my body and mind in the shower by lowering the temperature at the end and I really hate that :cry:

So when we live in warm countries, like me in the Canary Islands, what to do with the cold protocol? The water this morning for my shower was cold but not too much cold. Then it came warm, really. Is there something to do in cases like me?

Can you make ice in the fridge? If not, maybe you can buy one of those little icemakers.

I googled for russian ice swimmers as I remembered seeing some documentaries about that long ago. Its' something like a national custom over there.

Crazy Russians! :lol:

Question: Does the cold protocol require immersion or direct contact with water of the specified temperature, or could it be done by going outside in a pair of shorts (or nude) for the requisite time period, in 10 - 15 C ambient outside air temperature?

Edit: Oops, I posted this question before reading through the entire thread. I see that Laura already answered the same question from Davy72. So I guess dry cold works too. Going out on the deck in the early morning, upon awakening, when its around 12 C, will certainly get the juices flowing for the day... and save water.

It might work, but I'm guessing you'd have to spend more time in cold air of that temperature.

Since air isn't a good conductor of heat, I'm not sure how good 'cool' air would be at dropping skin temperature.

If the advice is to be in the water of "Ten to fifteen C, and same number of minutes", I guess you would need a minimum of 0 C, preferably with high humidity (fog ideally) and a wind. If you have all that (I do in the winter), you probably could do a cold air therapy.

On the other hand, cold air therapy is maybe a good preparation for cold water therapy. And maybe, because air isn't a good conductor of heat, it could be a great therapy for little kids for whom cold water therapy would be too much.

BTW this cold water therapy reminds me of this passage from Meetings with Remarkable Men where G explained one part of his father's training regime:

Of all these persistent pursuits of his in relation to me, I remember that the one most worrying to the older people round me, for instance my mother, my aunt and our oldest shepherds, was that he always forced me to get up early in the morning, when a child's sleep is particularly sweet, and go to the fountain and splash myself all over with cold spring water, and afterwards to run about naked; and if I tried to resist he would never yield, and although he was very kind and loved me, he would punish me without mercy. I often remembered him for this in later years and in these moments thanked him with all my being.

If it had not been for this, I would never have been able to overcome all the obstacles and difficulties that I had to encounter later during my travels.
 
Just something interesting, I do not recall which chapter this is in but Caeser comments on the sturdiness of the Germanic tribes and notes in The Gallic Wars that they bathe in cold water and eat meat. I will track it down if anyone is particularly interested.
 
Thanks for the session. Will be interesting to experiment with the cold protocol.

Regarding mention of strange animal behavior, I believe it was last Friday evening that I heard a screeching animal noise outside my skylight, thought it could be a raccoon. Just really strange because I'd never heard that type of screeching noise before, that I remember anyway. I looked on youtube to find out what it could be and it was a very close match to the sound of a screeching raccoon.

Yes, I remember that too. And it was brought up in later ancient writings and was probably why the plague of Justinian did not hit the northern tribes as hard as it hit the "civilized empire".
 
I tried the cold protocol this morning this way: First I took normal hot shower with soap etc., then took the shower from the holder and turned it a little colder. I started with my feet working my way upwards. Next step: Turn it colder and repeat. Then: Turn it even colder and repeat. Stay as long as you can (not more than 10 seconds for me). But the gradual shift helped already.

Yes, it would be interesting to hear more about the soul groups. How many souls are in such a group? Are they working inter-density, which means there are members of a group in 3rd, 4th and 5th that interconnect? How can the ones in 3rd find out what the actual mission is? Dreams, maybe?

Thanks, M.T.
 
(Alada) There was apparently an electromagnetic storm, but there wasn't any related CME or plasma release to seemingly cause this, but there was a weakening of the Earth's shield. What caused this suddenly weakening of Earth's shield?

What CME stand for ?

Thanks Darek. :clap:

I got mine yesterday and it works very well and is very precise.
