Recently Dr. Tom Cowan related how when Goethe arose in the morning he would put ice water on his face five times. Tom also spoke of walking in the snow or morning dew barefoot for 2 minutes. The third thing he mentioned was sitting with eyes closed looking toward the sun for 10 minutes or so. All good natural ways to connect with earth’s frequencies.

I discovered Wim Hof just before the lockdowns. I've done the cold shower thing ever since (along with the breathing) I agree with you--it gives you back something essential, some kind of physical confidence. I've never been particularly sickly, but I've been injured severely more times than I care to remember (former pro dancer). That can erode your physical confidence too. I'm definitely a fan of cold water. (I also read that taoist sages would do this too--go stand in an icy waterfall at dawn every day. I live in the desert, so not many icy waterfalls here, or maybe I'd try it!)
