I absolutely love this Cissy - and it's so beautifully written. Cold plunges/showers have been memefied but I think you point to something so much deeper psychologically about engaging in things to help cultivate trust in yourself. Probably the most powerful part of the practice, compared to the physiological effects touted
Wow you have such a gift with writing. I've been doing cold plunges for about 2 years now and it geniunely used to be my biggest fear but now it helps me grow in so many ways. It's amazing how well you are able to articulate the feelings (highs and lows) surrounding why such an experience is truly so life giving. If I lived in San Fransisco, know i'd be there <3
Life giving is such a meaningful way to describe it. I feel a sense of coming alive that’s unparalleled to most things we do in life. If you’re ever in SF at the start of the month, please join us – we’d love to have you!
