Ishnaan (the science of hydrotherapy)


Waking up early in the morning, massage your entire body vigorously with almond oil until you feel heat and the skin starts to turn red. Then step into a cold shower. Continue massaging your body. You will not be cold - you will feel warm. Do this for 12-15 minutes and then get out. Wrap yourself up in a cotton towel and put on warm clothes. This is to be done before morning saddhana. Your skin will tingle and the nerves will be awake.

For more information on the science behind this, read Yogi Bhajan's article at: www.sikhdharma.org/content/ishnaan:-science-hydrotherapy
