There’s an old kind of wisdom between warmth and cold.

Settle into the warmth and let the heat find its way into your bones. Pour water over the stones and listen to the hiss of steam. Stay until your cheeks are rosy, your shoulders have dropped and whatever you carried in with you feels a little farther away.

Then slip out into the garden. Beneath the open sky, take a plunge and breathe through the cold. When you’ve had enough, follow the warm glow back to the sauna.
