What is Fire & Ice?

- 




Hey ya'll,

 Thanks for being a part of The MindStrong Project and jumping into the Fire and Ice with us. The sauna and ice tubs have served all of us very well over the years. We look forward to progressing with you as you take on the journey yourself. Both environments have much to offer and over the course of your experience we will teach and coach you through both extremes. You will have the opportunity to learn from not only our coaches but other members in the community who have had their own experiences. We urge you to take part in the conversations that go on in what's known as the "Truth Barrel"....THE SAUNA!

Depending on how many times you use the heat and ice each week it's important to listen to yourself and understand what you're looking to achieve from these moments. As we tell all our athletes, "You will never WIN, so simply FEEL".

 This is very important to recognize and deeply become aware of. The sauna does not care about our emotions or feelings and trying to win inside the heat will be a hard loss on our end. The same goes for the cold. The cold is merciless. 

Use the environment the way that best fits you. If you are hitting the weight room heavy 2/3x a week then you want to give yourself exposure to the heat following exercise. If you're going after a recovery day and want to implement breath work before, during and after, then do that. We typically suggest one day a week where you push yourself mentally in the heat and ice and use the breath to control your state. On these specific days we would urge you not to do any other movements outside of Fire and Ice. Spend 60-90 Minutes experimenting between the temperature changes. Have one day a week where you are "Heat" focused and one day where you're "Cold" Focused. 

We will guide you through your experiences and also work through our newsletter to give you tips and experiences we've had.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out to any of our team members as we will assist you the best we can! 

We offer multiple class package options as well as monthly memberships that allow you full access to the sauna throughout the month. Our sauna is currently located behind Minnesota Mash Monday - Saturday.

 Quote to Ponder:
"Think of the life you have lived until now as over and, as a dead man, see what's left as a bonus and live it according to Nature. Love the hand that fate deals you and play it as your own, for what could be more fitting?"-Marcus Aurelius

 One Love,

Pulling The Weeds

-
Being an observer of human behavior for a living is equally rewarding and exhausting. Why? The reward comes from repeatedly seeing the triumph in our human spirit after tragedy, and from observing families and friends sharing love and growth together. The exhaustion comes from repeatedly seeing the human ego sabotage human decency or fracture relationships, and from seeing fear cripple the confidence or joy that should be the essence of our human experience. Pulling the Weeds. In order to grasp the full picture, it feels useful to first examine what behaviors do not fulfill us. If we can understand what the opposite of fulfillment is, then the path to fulfillment comes a bit more clear. By no means is this list comprehensive, but it includes a vast array of what it looks like when insecurities and disillusioned thought patterns make an appearance.

A Walk With Nature

-
Through all the advancement we’ve brought to our recovery methodologies and training it’s amazing what we’ve established to enhance our abilities to perform. It’s very valuable to understand regardless of what we think we're thinking, our body will do what it needs to optimize a homeostatic state (Balance). In many cases we tend to focus on speeding up recovery. This is not our call, it doesn’t exist inside of nature. So very often we take this desire and we reach for the nearest bandaid...Cryotherapy, Sauna, stimulants, massage etc... The intentions are there and the need for speed does seem to be leaving our human race anytime soon. And among all our great methodologies we’ve set up some great areas of advancement. Although the best areas of advancement still remain in nature...(The Immaculate Balance of the Universe) Simply taking a walk in the woods...This activity activates the vagus. This nerve is responsible for calm and regeneration. Responsible for relaxation and renewal...

Chain Of Command

Chain of Command... To have a deeper understanding of the stranger within opens us up to mysterious, complex and interesting aspects of ourselves that we may not have known existed. Growth Mindset...I’ve envisioned the beauty of this perspective for some time and all signs point to “positive” compared to a fixed mind. Now, how do we get there? To think we don’t have control is a frightening feeling. Yet such clarity could change the course of our lives. At its core we’re mostly a subconscious mind that has adapted through millions of years of evolution. We’re not as conscious as we may think we are in our ability to make choices. So this could leave us up to the data collection of our subconscious to improve reasoning (choices). This power would catapult us into an internal locus of control. Giving us the perception of power, understanding our behavior is our consequence. The higher our internal state of control the calmer we feel in chaos. Peacefulness is a state of creativity. The ne...
