Does anyone use sauna to better focus on philosophical values like reflection, introspection, intentional acts? My hypothesis is that there`s something about taking sauna that makes one have a different way of thinking, or a different way relating/dealing with ones thoughts. I would argue one does have a "clearer" mind and thoughts that is not so coloured by positive or negative emotions or mindset, which results in a more focused and clearer line of thougts. Which is not so common these days with social media capturing and flooding our attention.
So kinda using sauna as a tool to philosophize on either daily/normal stuff, or more complex philosophical or abstract issues.
Writing a philosopical paper on taking sauna, so any input with personal experiences would be appreciated. (English is not my first language, so sorry for any vague or unclear terms).
