Hey everyone! I just published an article thatβs close to the heart of how I think about why heat actually heals β and Iβd love to hear what this community thinks.
π The Parasympathetic Theory of Thermic BathingIn short: heat only becomes regenerative when the nervous system feels safe enough to let go. Itβs not about hotter or longer β itβs about restful surrender into the heat. I explore how traditions from sweat lodges to onsen all tap into this same pathway, and why safety is the real medicine of thermic practice.
Would love to get your thoughts and reflections β especially from folks whoβve witnessed the difference between heat as challenge vs. heat as restoration. Letβs discuss! π§ββοΈπ¬
