Iceman, Wim Hof

http://www.thirteen.org/forum/topics/mystic-fire/38/

On this day, Wim Hof — master of the Tibetan tantric practice of tumo, the ability to control the temperature of the body — broke his world record by staying immersed in an ice bath for one hour and 12 minutes. He was monitored by Dr. Kenneth Kamler, an expert in high-altitude medicine. Dr. Kamler elaborates on the psychological processes at play, and discusses them with Wim Hof. This event was presented as part of the Brainwave Festival held by the Rubin Museum of Art, dedicated to the art of the Himalayas.

This video is mentioned in the book, Becoming the Iceman.
p190 in the pdf file, according to Kindle.

If you practice yoga and meditation you understand exactly what he's doing. Your body does not have a soul, your soul has a body, which you can manipulate however you please to accomplish what might seem like impractical feats at first but its all really manageable. It's about calming your mind, your mind will try to negotiate with your body and say, "This hurts", or, "This doesn't feel good", to return to the comfort.
In order to grow we need to experience discomfort, we've numbed the connection between mind and body and it's time to come back to it. To come back to nature like Wim Hof stated, that is where you'll find happiness, strength, and health.
A lot of good comments on this post:

Here's a link with the instructions to the method, idk how close this is to what you would get after paying $200 but seems worth a try, like a free sample.
