brrrrr!! I have heard before of the benefits of cold water bathing, but haven't quite mustered up the courage to attempt this myself!! It's really interesting to hear your experience of this. Thank you for sharing!

Kate M you’re welcome! It’s a challenging practice (for the mind) to adopt, but it’s truly very powerful! Thanks for your note

Perhaps to experience the cold shower it might be an idea to start the shower with lukewarm water and then gradually switch to cold. The feeling is exceptional. Then gradually one can have a cold shower beginning to end.
