The Sauna

I started going to the sauna at the gym when I started physical therapy for my shoulder in June. I read somewhere that the sauna helps stimulate healing and I had plenty of time so why not. It took some getting used to at first but I really dig it now.

The sauna is one of the only places I know of in society today where people gather around without cell phones, tv, computers, (any technology really) and just sit. All there is to do is sit back and relax and talk. I have had some very interesting conversations in the sauna. I don’t know if it’s because the sauna attracts a certain kind of person or what. I’ve literally had to cut off some conversations because I was in there too long and I was beginning to cook. Maybe it’s the heat that gets people all energized and ready to go. The weird part is that everyone is sweating all over the place and half naked, and no one seems to mind.
