The ritual, in one breath
The 3-minute rule
Cold first, so you remember why you came. Heat second, so you come back. Then sit down and say nothing for a while.
3 minutes cold, 15 minutes hot
Repeat 3 rounds, finish cold
Today the sea says 2:40 in
Round start
COLD
Walk in, don't jump. Breathe out longer than you breathe in. Ninety seconds is a win on a February morning.
Wood-fired
HOT
Top bench if you're brave, bottom bench if you're clever. Someone will throw water on the stones. Let them.
Non-negotiable
REST
Robe on, feet over the edge, tea from the hatch. Your heart rate comes down. So does everything else.
