There are so many different ways you can expose yourself to the cold and it's just up to you which method you prefer and what you are looking for to get out of the experience. The simple act of getting in cold water provides a range of physical and mental benefits.
Some of the cold exposure benefits:
Boosts your immune system:
Cold exposure improves circulation. This enhanced circulation helps remove toxins, reduce fluid retention, and support immune system function. It helps your body detox, lowers inflammation, and strengthens your immune system overall.
Reduces stress, depression, anxiety:
Cold exposure triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural "feel-good" chemicals, leading to euphoria and relaxation.
Increases energy:
Exposing yourself to cold is a great way to jump-start your senses and make you feel alert and energized.
Soothes muscle soreness:
Cold immersion helps reduce muscle soreness, cools you down after exercise, helps your immune system and metabolism, and even improves your mood.
Reduces inflammation:
Cold Water Immersion improves your cardiovascular circulation, reduces muscle and joint inflammation. It can also have anti-inflammatory effects on your muscles and joints, which can lower your risk of injury and pain.
Improves sleep:
Engaging in cold plunge therapy earlier in the day can help regulate the body's natural circadian rhythms.
Come and experience it for yourself. See the cold as your friend not the enemy once for all!
Cold dips for me are true connection not only with nature’s gifts but deep connection with myself.
For me it's a ritual. It’s awakening, it’s rebirth it’s letting go of all that doesn’t serve me anymore.
It’s about feeling peaceful and one with water. It’s trust between you and nature. Letting go of your ego and trusting that water will allow you/take you in.
The feeling of melting away with coldness is so pure and innocent.
It’s not about how long you can withstand the coldness. It’s about feeling peaceful and one with cold water.
For me cold dips are the whole experience of hiking to a lake or creek and finding new spot to submerge and give thanks. Being humble and grateful for this pure connection.
I don’t do cold dips everyday (no one should). I listen to my body and its needs. When I feel the calling I go.
If you’re curious and would love to try this experience I’d love for you to join me.
