How not to suffer from the cold when you can not stay warm

What if you have already left the house in the cold, do not settle with the clothes? And even if you are dressed properly, still, standing for half an hour at the bus stop, in the icy wind, each okocheneet.

Say you're in a desperate situation, when you can not leave in a warm place, and you are pretty cold. Here are some ways to help you get through these unpleasant moments, without feeling the unfortunate victim of circumstances.

It is clear that the need to dress warmly, do not leave home hungry and fulfill other requirements. If you do not know what you see in the cold advance, you can read about it here. I will talk about the situation, if you are about anything not cared for, dressed as usual and already freeze at the bus stop, on the street or anywhere else. Although in the field, whether that may happen a little.

Here are three interesting technology that will help to warm his chilled body and get away from the feeling of hopelessness.

1. Discussions

One study of Canadian scientists (University of Toronto) has proven that talking helps to reduce the feeling of cold. In addition, it is known that when you concentrate on the feeling, it becomes brighter and is presented in its entirety.

Chatter will help distract from the sensation, not to focus on it, that is, just forget about the cold.

Well, if there is a friend or an acquaintance, if not - you can always call someone. Just do not get carried away about the theme of the cold, and it will be the opposite effect.

2. Visualization

If you do not have anyone to chat or simply do not want to do this, you can try the visualization techniques. Imagine the flame that arises in your body and gradually expands, filling it with warmth. You can think of the warm energy of any color that fills all parts of the body.

It is proved that stress increases the feeling of cold, and when you are cold for an hour without the possibility to go to a warm place, stress increases exponentially. So, we must get rid of it. You can relax as follows: first tense all the muscles of the body (the ones that can stretch), then abruptly relax. Repeat this several times, and then start imaging.

Focus on any part of the body until you fill it with heat / energy / flame, improves blood circulation, so that in the end you have all the chances to be nice to warm up. Only this should be done with full dedication and concentration, turning off all other thoughts.

By the way, the Tibetan monks living in the mountains, thanks to the identification of himself with fire, dried body of a wet sheet, sitting there in the cold. However, dry sheets obtained only with technique tummo. About it in the next paragraph.

3. technique tummo

This breathing practice that is used in full Tibetan monks that in the bitter cold in the mountain air discharged to live normally and do not wrap up a thousand odozhek.

Certain rate and depth of inhalation and exhalation starts the heat generation process. The light breaks down fats and a large amount of energy is released. Only in light must come the cold air, but I think in this situation it will not be difficult.

So, the technique itself - it's just a deep breath "belly."

You slowly inhale, first filling the air with the stomach and then the chest. During exhalation time the stomach is pulled back, as it were "sticking" to the spine and completely expelling all the air. That's it, breathe well and keep warm.

In addition, this technique has several advantages:

• burn fat;
• reduced cortisol;
• pumped abdominal muscles;

I hope that some of this will help you not to suffer greatly when you are cold. If you have your own way to keep warm when you can not go into heat, much to ask to share in the comments.
