There has been the Fap Challenge, and the No-Fap challenge, but it’s time for something even better!
I challenge you to start taking at least ONE cold shower a day, preferably as soon as you wake up, on the coldest setting.
The benefits are numerous - and for a magickian even more so. You can use it to cleanse yourself, charge an intent/servitor/sigil, even as an offering to a spirit.
To cleanse yourself, just do the cold shower while banishing/imagining everything shitty leaving you.
To charge an intent, you could think of wealth, charge it with all the emotional energy coming from you (trust me, when you begin, there will be a LOT of that) and send it off.
You could even send it to an entity (like an offering), to a servitor, or fuel a sigil.
Either way, I challenge you to do the cold shower challenge, every day, on the coldest setting, for at least a week.
Biggest tip I can give you - put the setting on the coldest without turning on the water, then stand, put the shower head above you or pointing at you (preferably aiming into the chest) and turn that shit on.
Then hit your whole body.
Allow yourself to breathe as deeply as possible through your mouth. It’s natural.
Already been doing this for a long time. It is awesome. Try doing a hyper-focus meditation during one some time, just don’t give yourself hypothermia; you may lose track of time.
I’ve actually been cold showering for sometime. Especially in winter it sends the body into shock and the body produces more white blood cells. Over time (weeks) it teaches you how to disassociate from bodily sensations, like pain. It also toughens you up.
Cold showers actually cause an increase in testosterone from what I’ve read, so they don’t exactly get rid of arousal like the old wives tales say they do. They might just cause more fapping, especially if the water directly hits a man’s testicles, which is said to increase sperm production. There is a Taoist sect known for sexual techniques that has cold showers as part of their regimen (I have a course from such a master, put out by Matt Furey).
