Sauna Eyeball Shift

I’ve been swimming most mornings at an outdoor pool this summer. It’s been amazing to watch the sunrise across the pool while catching some laps, just amazing. One morning this week had a glowing honey yellow light bouncing from the clouds and wrapping around everything for 5-10 mins. Another morning sported a rainbow in the distance for a good 10 mins. So, good.

This week I started to mix in a sauna session after the swim. I flip the sauna on before hopping in the water so it’s warm by the time I get back there all tired and a little cold. Basic stuff. Just sit down, toss some water on the rocks and prepare for the day. Fantastic.

A cool thing happened this week that had me wondering about the nature of perception. As I sat still, I could sense a slight shift in my vision and then back again. Nothing crazy. It was subtle. Yet, my mind raced with possible implications of perception vs reality as my heart continued to “shift” my perspective. Nifty.
