Ice-bath
Mar’s Musing on Ice-bath
Welcome to this week's Mars Musings.
Today, I want to share an intriguing experience I had recently while attending Kinnernet. Last week, I mentioned my initial hesitation and curiosity around the popular trend of ice baths. Circumstances led me to try it out, and it turned into an incredible experience.
During dinner, I had a conversation with Steven Posner the facilitator who shared his own spiritual journey and the transformative power of breathwork and ice baths with me. It resonated strongly, as I realised I had my own fears and limits to overcome. One significant fear in my life has always been the cold, stemming from growing up in a warm tropical climate in Singapore.
Embracing the opportunity to face my fear, I participated in the ice bath session at Kinnernet. Steven's facilitation and guidance were exceptional. Through focused breathwork and presence, I found myself in a state of pure being, free from fear and resistance. By the end of the two minutes, I felt empowered and capable of overcoming not just the cold but any challenges that came my way.
If you're skeptical about ice baths, like I initially was, I now wholeheartedly recommend them. It was a powerful reset and restart moment for me, amplifying the transformative energy of the entire Kinnernet experience. It reminded me that I possess the strength and resilience to overcome fears and challenges in my entrepreneurial journey.
The key takeaways from this experience were:
(1) Overcoming the cold: I realised that even in challenging circumstances, I can endure and conquer my fears without freezing.
(2) Letting go of unnecessary baggage: The ice bath taught me not to pack my fears into every situation. If I can overcome something as daunting as an ice bath, I can confront any fear that arises as I build my businesses.
(3) Trusting in my inner strength: The ice bath reaffirmed the power of our breath and the strength we hold within ourselves. It reminded me to trust the process, deepen my inner connection, and believe in my capabilities.
I'm still integrating the lessons from this experience, and new insights and opportunities are emerging. I recently had a meaningful conversation with a friend, who also went through similar shifts after her ice bath experience. We discussed the importance of believing in ourselves and finding our inner strength to overcome barriers and limitations on our entrepreneurial and life journeys.
I'd love to hear from you. Have you ever tried an ice bath?
Were you initially hesitant or judgmental about it?
How have you overcome fears and limitations in your own journey?
Your feedback and insights are greatly appreciated as we continue to expand and learn together.
Thank you for joining me on this remarkable journey.
Stay connected, share your thoughts, and let's continue to grow.
Warmly,
