Fro-Zen Retreat – Freeze Your Mind and Rest will Follow
By Goldy Fox
Have you ever dreamt of experiencing the calmness of a long silence retreat without the sitting in silence part? Well, Fro-Zen promises to give you all that and more, with its state of the art freezing facilities. The edgy new company promises to stop your worrisome thought process by chemically freezing your brain for a few hours and then defrosting it under careful medical supervision.
Visitors to the retreats describe it as being a liberating experience, which left them in a state of blissful peace.
But some experts are now claiming that the illusion of bliss may be due to partial brain damage caused by the freezing and defrosting process. I suppose our brains, like any organic product, lose some of their freshness when frozen.
One enthusiastic Fro-Zen member says he goes once a month and every time returns he out he cannot remember what was troubling him in the first place. He also admits forgetting his oven on for a week the last time he went to the retreat; but, after another treatment, he does not feel bad about it at all.
