Sauna, Cold-Water Therapy & Psychedelic Breath is Food for the Soul
I've always been someone who follows my curiosity, and recently, during a trip to Whitstable, I decided to book a Sauna & Cold Plunge experience for myself and my husband right on the sea front. To say we were blown away by how amazing we felt afterward is an understatement! But what really stuck with me was how my husband, Johnny, who was initially reluctant, was completely converted by the end of the session. It was one of those "I had a feeling this would happen" moments!  As we chatted with some of the interesting people there, I was amazed by how many are regularly incorporating these practices into their lives and experiencing profound benefits. It was very clear to me that adding Psychedelic Breath work to the mix would take it all to the ‘next level'.
Cold-Water Therapy: A Shock to the System—In the Best Way Possible
Cold-plunging can range from ice baths, ocean dips, lake drops, cold baths and even cold shower typically between 7-15°C (44-60°F). Research shows that you don’t need to subject yourself to freezing temperatures to experience the benefits. Even at these milder temperatures, cold-water immersion has been shown to significantly improve both physical and mental health.
Some of the benefits of cold-water immersion include:
Enhanced muscle recovery after exercise
Inflammation reduction Improved circulation
Boosted immunity
Increased alertness
Better sleep
Healthier skin and hair
Greater stress resilience
Immune Boosting
The Sauna: Ancient Wellness for Modern Living
What truly resonates with me about saunas is the growing body of research highlighting their potential role in reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Regular sauna use has been shown to improve circulation, enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the brain—an essential factor for maintaining cognitive health.
But the benefits don’t stop there. Here’s why you might want to consider making saunas a part of your lifestyle:
Improved circulation
Muscle relaxation and recovery
Stress reduction
Detoxification
Clearer skin
Cardiovascular health
Enhanced mental clarity
Pain relief for joints and muscles
Social enjoyment (the perfect way to connect with friends or strangers alike)
Psychedelic Breath: A Journey Inward
Psychedelic Breath is a powerful, transformative practice that allows us to heal, clear our minds, open our hearts, and reconnect with the essence of who we really are. It can be an incredibly vulnerable experience that cuts through the layers of our mental limitations, helping us access profound truths and release what holds us back at a deep, soul level. It can also be light, energizing and stimulating depending on you as an individual.
Some of the potential benefits of Psychedelic Breath include:
Enhanced mental clarity
Deeper meditation
Emotional release
Increased self-awareness
Improved creativity
Boosted energy levels
Hormonal balance
Spiritual awareness
Stress reduction
