When we expose ourselves to freezing cold water, our Reptilian brain takes over command and sets several things in motion. The cells in our arms and legs vasodilate and all the warm blood is sent to our core body to protect the main organs, as we can't live without them. Our prefrontal cortex shuts down when the body is under threat and several his allows me to sit in the water, in the absolute present moment and in command of the sympathetic nervous system. (Fight or flight).
