Cold water therapy is not a part of our insured portfolio and therefore taking part is completely voluntary.

Risks ⦁ Cold shock: this is the body’s reaction to sudden cold. It begins with the gasp reflex and continues with uncontrolled hyperventilation. This is a good reason not to jump into water unless it’s over 15°C or you’re acclimatised. ⦁ Cold incapacitation: this happens when you get too cold. You get in, and after a couple of minutes of feeling uncomfortable the water feels pleasant. As a novice swimmer, or even as a strong swimmer with limited experience of swimming outdoors, you then attempt to cross the lake, but half way across start feeling cold again. Your body continues to lose heat, blood shunts to the core to keep organs warm. Your muscles lose power, limbs become slow and heavy, and swimming becomes increasingly difficult. This is cold incapacitation and it can all-too-easily lead to drowning. A further effect of cold incapacitation is the loss of coordination we all suffer as we become cold. The bank that previously seemed a safe exit point might now be difficult or even impossible for you to climb as you struggle to grip with your hands, while your limbs are clumsy and numb. ⦁ Cramp: cramp can strike anywhere, and some people are more prone than others. If you’re cold, cramp is perhaps more likely. If you do cramp, float on your back and call for help. ⦁ Asthma: in some asthmatics, cold can trigger an attack. ⦁ Cold water urticaria: Allergic urticaria on leg in the form of hives induced by cold. Cold urticaria (essentially meaning “cold hives”) is a disorder where hives (urticaria) or large red welts form on the skin after exposure to a cold stimulus. The welts are usually itchy and often the hands and feet will become itchy and swollen as well. ⦁ Hypothermia: contrary to popular opinion hypothermia is unlikely to cause a swimmer to get into difficulties since it will take some time to become truly hypothermic; cold incapacitation and cold shock are the main culprits. Be aware that when you get out of the water and begin to warm up, warm blood from your core will cool quite fast as the peripheral blood vessels open up. This is the point where swimmers experience sudden coarse shivering (known as after drop – it’s the body’s attempt to generate heat).

As a general rule, please seek expert medical advice before taking part in any of these activities.

We would advise that you should not join in this activity without doctor approval and also not if you have had alcohol or drugs within 24 hours of the activity. If you have heart condition, high blood pressure, asthma, or are pregnant or taking medication and chemotherapy please seek advice from your specialist before joining.

Please read this carefully before agreeing.

DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

Spiritual and emotional work, breathwork, yoga, meditation and any other form of alternative healing should not be construed as a substitute for direct medical advice from your doctor or other qualified clinician, medical or psychiatric examination, diagnosis or treatment. Anyone interested in breathwork is also responsible for seeking the specific medical or psychiatric attention they need, should they need it.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE A CANDIDATE:

Below are a list of

contraindications for conscious, connected breathing.

If you are on the contraindication list, you are not a candidate for full breathwork, but we are happy to discuss modified, gentle breathwork with you for a later date if your condition should permit it.

Note: Breathwork results in certain specific physiological changes in the body and also can result in intense physical and emotional release. As a precaution, the following conditions are contraindicated in certain breathwork practices. It is crucial that you inform your breathwork practitioner if any of the following conditions are relevant to you:

::: CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR BREATHWORK :::
- Pregnancy (at any stage)

Anyone impacted by the mRNA COVID Inoculation:

At this time,

clients must wait a minimum of 60 days after their final dosage (including boosters) with NO SIDE EFFECTS to engage Breathwork that changes blood oxygen levels

. This decision has been made in consultation with our insurance company, health professionals, legal team and through our own deep contemplation. At this time, the long-term effects of the Inoculation are still too unknown and the
Inoculation is not covered by our liability. Thus, we regret to inform you at this time that the COVID Inoculation(s) is a contraindication to our Breathwork

until one has safely received all doses with NO side effects for a minimum of 60 days or more

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and will reevaluate our policy when clinical trials are completed in 2023, and more data has been collected and documented. If you do have side effects or it has not been 60 days, we are happy to offer you a gentler breath alternative.

Please make sure you are not on the contraindication list to take a journey.
