My third eye goes nuts and I begin to get downloads of energy or visions related to questions I may have been asking. It seems to lower the shielding of the ego. It's as if it connects one to one's higher self beyond time and space.

I'm glad to know there's a kindred "lobster" out there -- though now that it's nearly summer, I can't imagine the same routine I wrote about in this post written in the depths of a Minnesota winter! <br />Some hot, steamy days in July, I do the opposite, cranking the shower all the way to cold.

I also let the heat go up the wall before I finally take a bath. It brings a soothing feeling. My husband just recently fixed our water and plumbing system with an excellent <a href="http://www.gorlitz.com/pc_combined_results.asp?pc_id=9EDBA475BA4946AE903B93FA4871A66D" rel="nofollow">pipe bursting equipment</a> and now it works perfectly.

My favorite showers take place in summer when we hook up the outdoor shower. My indoor shower (which we recently set up) is not so enjoyable. It's one of those attachments for old-fashioned claw foot tubs where you have to have curtains all around--not much room in there and the set up is awkward.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696349282379608085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-62043348593545160362012-01-19T14:56:10.576-06:002012-01-19T14:56:10.576-06:00Oh, Davina, forgot to mention that I enjoyed your ...Oh, Davina, forgot to mention that I enjoyed your post, Rena's Carnelian!

I've also enjoyed some jumps into holes in frozen lakes after saunas -- talk about bracing!<br />Hope you're warm and comfy today - -16 at our house this morning -- br-r-r!Jeffrey Williushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748080134354732541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-46902535220569260572012-01-19T11:24:59.506-06:002012-01-19T11:24:59.506-06:00I've enjoyed such showers!

I liked your metaphor of the rotisserie :) <br /><br />This is a good reminder to focus on our senses; to allow the fullness of who we are. I wonder how many showers I've taken just because I had to and not really appreciated them. <br /><br />Have you taken a cold shower before? They're something else too! It's invigorating when you're finished and your skin begins to warm up.Davina Haisellhttp://www.shadesofcrimson.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
