Meet: Robert Sturman ~ Artist/Photografía Work: Visual Artist & Photographer honors include Official Artist of the 47th Annual Recording Academy / GRAMMYs, 2010 FIFA World Cup Artist Representing America, and Official Artist 2008 United States Olympics Story: His daily meditation practice involves sitting in a flat chest freezer filled with 28 degree water. A good friend who is a police officer and a certified The Iceman (Wim Hof) instructor, introduced him to it. His fr...iend tried to persuade him to try it for a couple of years and he didn’t want anything to do with it. Then he and his freezer left town and Robert just happened to come across a lecture by Wim Hof and was so moved. Without ever trying the ice, he went to @loweshomeimprovement and purchased a freezer. His intuition was heightened beyond anything I’d ever experienced. It was so irrational and unusual for him, but he trusted something. It wasn’t easy to get in. He started with his toe and would run away and pace and wonder what the hell had he done. The desire to strengthen something within himself was so strong, he was willing to do anything. He advanced from his toe to the rest of his body and has been sitting in ice for a few minutes a day for the past 8 months. Robert believes in self-actualization. Life is challenging. Facing it all is the only way for him. He began terrified of the ice. Now he finds deep peace in it and craves it! Watch Robert’s story on IG: HIGHLIGHTS > STORIES #realmenmeditate.
