Cold water therapy and the Wim Hof method with Donald Clark
In this conversation with Donald Clark we explore his 4 year journey with the Wim Hof method and cold water therapy. Donald has been working with the Wim Hof breathing techniques in conjunction with cold showers, ice baths and his experimental modifications to a chest freezer creating a plunge pool with temperatures as low as -7 degrees centigrade. We focus in particular on the psychological and transpersonal experiences that can be opened up by cold water techniques and what to do with them.

Spiritual practice, like everything else in life, is evolving. What does this mean? By ‘Spiritual Practice’ I mean any activity that expands your sense of identity, for example meditation, contemplative philosophy, prayer, yoga, martial arts, psychedelics, transpersonal psychotherapy, fasting, visualisation, lucid dreaming, conscious parenting, forgiveness and much more. By ‘Evolving’ I mean that everything develops and adapts over time. Most of the spiritual traditions that have spawned these transformational practices emerged hundreds and often thousands of years ago in the pre-modern era. Modernity (rationality and science) and post-modernity (cultural diversity and the information age) are hugely influential historical periods that have happened since then, and I believe that contemporary spiritual practice needs to integrate the insights of these two worldviews as well as the premodern in order to keep being relevant and adaptive in a changing world.
