Here's a section from the book a few chapters ahead (I was skimming for
plan instructions):

WHM AT-A-GLANCE THREE PILLARS OF A DAILY PRACTICE

BREATH

1 While seated or lying down, take 30 to 40 full conscious breaths: Breathe
fully in to the belly and the chest, then letting go, without force.
2 On your final exhale, let the air out and hold it out for as long as you
can without discomfort. Listen to your body and don’t force it!
3 When you feel the urge to breathe again, take a deep breath in, hold for
10 to 15 seconds. Then release and relax.
4 Repeat the steps above two or three more times, paying attention to how
you feel and adjusting your breath as needed.
5 Rest in this elevated state until you are ready to move on with your day.
Alternatively, use the energy you just generated for your morning workout
or yoga practice. Experiment with what feels right for you.

FOR COMPLETE WHM BREATHING INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY GUIDELINES, SEE CHAPTER
4.

MIND
Your post-breathing practice state is the perfect time to program your
mindset. Try this:

1 Before you get up from your breathing practice, bring up a thought in
your mind like “Today I’m going to stay in the cold shower for 15 more
seconds than yesterday,” or “I feel happy, healthy, and strong.”
2 Reflect on this thought and notice how your body feels.
3 If you identify any inner resistance to your intention, just keep
breathing steadily until you feel an alignment between your body and mind.

SEE CHAPTER 12 FOR DETAILS.

COLD

1 At the end of your warm shower, turn the water to cold.
2 If you like you can start by first putting your feet and legs, than your
arms, then your full torso under the water.
3 Do NOT do the WHM Basic Breathing Exercise while standing in the shower.
4 Gradually extend your exposure every day until you can handle two minutes
in the cold.
5 If you are shivering when you get out, try the horse stance exercise.
(See page 118 for details.)

That's through chapter five. No ice yet. Just cold water.
