Dear Friends of Wilbur:

Spring is passing and summer is arriving. Our colors are changing from green to gold. Presently the combination of many shades of green and gold are stunningly beautiful.

Last month I promised I would tell you about my favorite method of meditating and creating a stimulus isolation experience while immersed in the medicine waters at Wilbur Hot Springs.

I immerse in flume #1 which is between 99 and 101 degrees Farenheit and I place the lower half of my legs, up to the backs of my knees, onto the deck. The upper half of my legs, are now at right angles leaning against the side of the flume. My torso, arms and head are straight back floating in the medicine water. I often stretch my arms out to create more buoyancy. I can add even more buoyancy by pushing my chest out and moving my chin up and head back. My ears are under water. This position allows me to float effortlessly for as much time as I want. Sometimes I wear my IWatch which tells me my heart rate. As you may recall if one gets their heart rate up to 60% of maximum (220 minus age times 60%), it does count as cardiovascular aerobic exercise (without improvement in musculature that active aerobic activity provides).

If you try this meditation technique I would appreciate hearing of your experience.
Say hello the next time you are at Wilbur. We are the very tall couple with the smiling eyes and laughing hearts who are often on bikes or the electric ATV with solar panels on top.

With affection for each of you,

Richard and Jolee,
Caretakers, Wilbur Hot Springs
