Dousing

Dousing is the practice of making something or someone wet by throwing liquid over them, e.g., by pouring[citation needed] water, generally cold, over oneself.

The body's reaction is similar to the mammalian diving reflex or possibly temperature biofeedback.

Several meditative and awareness techniques seem to share similar effects with elevated temperature, such as Tummo.

Śmigus-dyngus (or Dyngus Day) is a festival held on Easter Monday, traditionally celebrated by boys throwing water over girls.

It is also celebrated by the Dai people in Yunnan Province in China, and in Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar during the traditional New Year.
