OM, Burrrrrrrrerrrr....

meditate on the cold?
OMG why?
some of you like it that way...
riding up a ski lift freezing your legs off... :-)

my hat if off to you in the NE who were without power for so many days...
it is cold up there!

I drove to work this morning, it was 40 deg. on my Camry dash
and I could put my hands on the steering wheel w/o gloves..

Big deal -right?
When I had to help build a log cabin in the Laurentian woods one winter,
we were swinging axes at 32 degrees with our shirts off.
It was a lot warmer 72 deg actually warmer than a few days before at
40 below 0 Fahrenheit; where the manual transmission is locked in place by frozen crankcase oil...
(I ran back inside the kitchen...mumbling about the Yogis who live in the Himalayas with only underwear on in the winter... hot tea was good - going to town, had to wait)

But it was 80 deg the day before; living Santa Fe where 75 is hot summer day... I hated driving to Dallas...
but we get used to 90's even 100's
& I tell you when the steering wheel is first 40 deg
I need gloves...

So it was interesting to note that I didn't today...

There was a navy seal trainer on a TV show sitting in an ice water tank.
OOPPSS, back up - first under stop watch, he ran a short obstacle course, and had to fire a pistol at one of 3 targets - 1 of was the 'enemy'. He did great...

then he was sat in a pool of ice water; ice added every 20 minutes or so...
most men would pass out after a short time...
he stayed in there for 60 minutes!

Then scored the same on the obstacle course with in just seconds of his first baseline time trials....

His core body temp never dropped below 95...

Through meditation, and practiced conditioning in Navy Seal training in the cold ocean, he was able to control the automatic muscle shaking that happens to the rest of us to keep us warm...
This is what dolphins can do is to regulate their use of oxygen, and control body temp in vital organs, to dive deeply.

The movie 'Blue' is about deep free divers who can do the same...

Meditation is powerful.
your companion self is awesome...

You have the power !
how will you use it?

Next time you are cold or your electricity is out - get out of there
get to a warm place now.....

after that ~ if you like ~ and are cold ... relax and imagine your inner heater coming on inside you...

or go train as a Navy Seal.....

Happy New Year...unleash your inner power...
