Why do I breathe and do ice baths ?

What's the point of all these ice baths and breathwork? Yes, it helps with inflammation, sleep, etc. For me it is to keep that smile on my face.

Does it mean that I do not face hardships? Or people don't piss me off? Or I don't get annoyed at people who disrespect me or don't give me the time of the day ?

The ice teaches me to choose the uncomfortable option. When someone ignores me, the uncomfortable option is to forgive them. When someone doesn't have the time of day for me, or screams at me, or doesn't behave very lovingly to me, I have the comfortable option of reacting in a similar fashion to them, or I have the uncomfortable option of recognizing that they have a lot going on in their lives and to be patient, loving and forgiving towards them.

Love

Today I want to talk about love.

I felt unconditional love from an 8 year old and loved her unconditionally. This is the first time I've experienced love like this. And I want to share what I felt.

At first I thought I loved her like I would love my own daughter and then I quickly realized she loved me as my mother would. She caressed my face, told me she loved me over and over, hugged me again and again.

When East meets West

By origin, I am Indian. I was born and raised in a country called Oman, and it would be easy to clump it up and say that I lived for ten years in Oman and the next ten in India. And for the first time in my mid twenties, I travelled West, first stop being the United States.

As of this date, I have about 24 years that I lived in the east, and about 11 years that I have lived in the West.

There is definitely a difference in the way people teach in the East versus the West.

Non scientific side of the Wim Hof Method

The body has various layers of growth, and sometimes the layer holding us back the most is the one of the mind. When you start practicing the Wim Hof Method, you start revealing to yourself how powerful your mind is and when this happens the need to exalt is high. There is this incredibly high phase , euphoric almost, that you go through, you start looking at everything in your life, you look at your choices, your decisions. This is why it's good to have a community around you, not to stop you from moving forward at lightning speed but to help you assimilate some of your thoughts. Also during this process, it is important to respect your body, the mind and the body, when aligned makes you a super being but be patient for that alignment. We want the growth to be as close to a stairway versus a steep ramp. Easy to say when I've been there and all I've wanted to do is sprint up that ramp. But it's important not to burn out. It is important to be disciplined and it is important to always listen to your heart. Wen you feel pain, don't use the methods or your increased ability to overcome struggles from your tools to pull you away from the pain and struggles that you face. These tools are to help you become more accepting of it, not repeat the process again.

It makes me so happy to see people achieving immediate results from doing the method, but remember that it is only the beginning and let's pace ourselves, this journey is one of a lifetime, so be kind to yourself and don't push too much, or force, and surround yourself by people who understand you and the transition you are going through. Even though this is a journey of self-love, it always helps to have very loving people around you as well.

Remember we are consistently striving to get to a point where we r aware of our thoughts, not to push them away, but to be aware of them. Our lives are a string of conscious decisions that we are consistently making. That is what determines the quality of our lives and our relationships.
