There was some shock when I turned the water cold, but not nearly as much as yesterday. I bathed a little while the water was cold, and I didn't get the second deeper chill I experienced yesterday.
Yesterday was hard so I thought I'd slowly raise the minutes so that there wasn't a sudden change for my inner experiences to respond to. Today I kept the water cold for 65 seconds.
After, I tried to do just a little of the breathing. I have experiences that act in response to things similar to meditation, so I took it slow like with the cold water, and stopped as soon as there seemed to be an issue. I just breathed 5 or 6 times, twice.
I can hold my breathe out for a long time, so I stopped when there was something noticeable, like a change around my eyes. To keep it simple at the start.
It feels different to fill with oxygen more than normal, even a little.
