It's crazy, I'm a stage 4 lung & liver cancer survivor & used to struggle to breathe. Now not only can I breathe better. I can hold my breath for a while with ease! So happy I found this!
I suffer from Agoraphobia and have been housebound for 2 years now...I'm on day 3 and left the house without a care in the world....tears of joy are running down my face as I type this. Thank you wim,
Fuck yeah!!! Fuck yeah!!!! Welcome back to the world sorry we fucked it up while you were indoors! But breathe the free air and know even strangers are proud of you. You! You're awesome and don't ever forget it
Had never heard of Wim Hof until just a few days ago. I'm 70 years old and not much inspires me anymore. I've been doing this breathing exercise morning and night and feel like I've discovered the fountain of youth. I look forward to better health and less stress. Bless you Mr Hof.
Catherine Downey It’s better doing this technique away from the city , place where there’s a mountain, trees, and a river. Guess you can say you’ll be breathing in the ‘prana’ the breath of life
Catherine Downey my dads 74 and he seems motivated everyday taking care of his garden, vegetables, fruits and not one day I don’t see him not smiling. He feels blessed and appreciated for reaching that age when there’s millions that don’t. 🙏
It's so nice to know. My father is 82 and just started. I hope you persevere (and us too) because people that have done it for a year so far, say their health and emotional well being has improved. I want to persevere too, can not do it anywhere else but my ventilated room before breakfast but I've been feeling great. What works for me is staying aware of the moment I'm doing the excercise because there's been days I've done it in a hurry because I have lots of things on my mind and haven't felt as great as when I'm fully focused in my breathing. Infinite blessings 🙏🏼
I am 73 , I started WH method 1 month ago . I also practice yoga and cardio exercises. I feel great . Greetings from Almeria Spain at the Mediterranean Sea
When my relationship ended, I felt like my world was crumbling around me. The pain was so intense that it was almost tangible, like a heavy weight pressing down on my chest. I didn't know how to cope, how to move forward, until I stumbled upon Wim Hof's breathing technique. At first, I was skeptical. How could something as simple as breathing possibly help me through this agony? But I was desperate, willing to try anything to find relief from the relentless ache in my heart. So, with nothing to lose, I gave it a shot. As I sat there, following Wim Hof's instructions, something incredible happened. With each deep breath, it was as if a wave of calm washed over me, soothing the turmoil within. For the first time since the breakup, I felt a sense of peace, however fleeting it may have been. But I didn't stop there. I made a commitment to myself to practice this breathing technique every day, no matter how painful it felt at first. And slowly, but surely, I began to notice a shift. The pain didn't disappear overnight, but it became more manageable. I could breathe a little easier, think a little clearer. What surprised me most, though, were the physical benefits. I had always heard about the mind-body connection, but I never truly understood it until now. With each inhale, I could feel tension melting away from my body, leaving me feeling lighter, more energized. But perhaps the most profound change of all was the way it helped me reconnect with myself. In the midst of heartache, it's easy to lose sight of who you are-to become defined by your pain. But through this practice, I rediscovered my inner strength, my resilience. Today, as I look back on that dark period of my life, I am filled with gratitude for the role that Wim Hof's breathing technique played in my healing journey. It wasn't a quick fix, nor was it a cure-all. But it was a tool-a lifeline-that helped me navigate the stormy seas of heartbreak and emerge stronger on the other side. And for that, I will be forever grateful.
started doing the breathing exercises for a month and I don’t get anxiety attacks like often before. I suffered from depression because I am a double leg amputee. I thought the world was done for me.now I feel calm , ready and positive. I told myself this is not my destiny. I’m getting my prosthetic legs next week and ready to explore this world. I love it. Wim Hof 4 life!!!
oh my word man, yeah you know when people share stories like this i realize i don't have anything to complain about in my life. Im so happy to hear that you're getting prosthetics and i hope you keep riding that drive to do great things in life. Damn, consider me inspired.
To everyone who has come to watch is: You haven't come here accidently, you've come here to heal yourself, both physically as well as mentally, and for that I salute you. All the best. May everyone heal and become the best version of themselves ! Edit: Thank you all for 1k likes ! :)
Its unbelievable how much this techniques helps calm withdrawal symptoms from lean, weed and nicotine, thanks to this technique I am drug free for one year since 1/1/2023
Congrats. I’m sure you’re aware but that’s no small feat. I certainly you take pride in your effort to abstain, and I hope life is rewarding you accordingly.
I am suffering from agoraphobia. Day 4 - I did the breathing exercise and a cold shower (30 seconds) afterwards. I just took public transportations for the first time in a year! This works people.
I’ve been doing the breath work and the cold showers for 40 days now. I’ve been taking up to 10 painkillers for 20 years every single day. I stopped taking painkillers 35 days ago. Thank you Wim Hof for changing my life for the better 🙏🏻
That sounds really great...this was my first day to follow Wim's Guided Breathing technique and I am taking cold shower since last week of November 2020.If you are experiencing Sex transmutation/Semen retention/No Fap, so daily workout + meditation + breathing technique + cold shower + trekking or hiking at least once a week are the best transmutation tools.
You’re in the right place 🙏💚 also I really recommend getting the 1 Giant Mind App and doing their meditation. They make it completely free for everyone to help the world. It changed my life so much when I was going through a lot of anxiety and depression. I was so anxious that half of my face would go numb to give you an idea. For some reason that’s how it manifested in my body but this breathing technique along with that meditation and somatic experiencing has reduced the anxiety by 80% I would say.
I am 81 years old and have been doing this for two months evverydsy. I am now doing it three times a day. When I started I could now remember many words in a conversation. My memory was so bad. Now it is like it was when I was much younger. Thank you Win for sharing your time and knowledge to help other people.
I just completed this 30 seconds ago, and I'm in tears, and I don't particularly know why. I'm a 33 year old man with 2 kids, suffer from extreme social anxietys and have never been able to work a normal job. I was physically vibrating as I came out of this and I just don't know what to say. I'm speechless truly. I'm going to continue this again tomorrow night, thank you. Truly.
Interesting, somebody commented under Wim's video with Jordan Peterson and said exactly the same, he started crying for no reason and he also was struggling with anxiety.
@@Ashengard111 I really hope whoever that was finds this as useful as I have these past couple days. Not going to make any claims, but it's helping me, I don't know exactly how yet though. I feel better. That's all that I care about.
My husband and I have been doing this method for around 4 months.. It has become part of our daily lives.. We have included it during our morning rituals..We watch this video each time...I love hearing his encouraging words.. I admit to hearing them during the day... I'll take a deep breathe, "You are doing fantastic".. ""give it all you got".. And when I need uplifting... "you are doing okay". The ten minutes to do this practice is well worth it. I have only been able to hold my breathe the full 90 seconds a few times. I was diagnosed with COPD... I did a lung test after 3 months and clearly it shows how strong my lungs have become.. ... Thank you Wim.. You have made a difference in our lives. Bless you.💙
Some random shopkeeper told me 3 years ago about wim hof. this man changed my life. i am now fully off drugs , smoking and drinking. i wish more people would try this and stop being so skeptical
Patrick D , Wonderful !!! I wish to stop drinking fully. Does this breathing exercise alone is sufficient ? In my past , I quit it few times and then started again..I wish I get rid off the poison forever
Hi Patrick, I hope I don't offen you, I believe it was an earth Angel that told you that, especially if you were praying for help, no accident. Wow well done to you and all the best of luck to you 👍💕🍀
As a 25 year old who has always had bad anxiety and depression, this technique and reading all these comments feels like therapy. Godspeed to all of you here and may we all find peace and contentment :-)
Marcus, thank you and may God put His Healing Holy hands on your body and soul 🙏 I know the excruciating emotional and physical suffering due to anxiety and panic attacks, constant brain fog, dizziness, pounding heart, etc.... May Lord give our mind peace and health. Sending love and healing ❤
Same , jus did this and felt like I could breath again like when I was a child , second session caused a strong opening of my lower lungs resulting in scary tightening of my lungs. Be careful with this stuff and ease into it slowly !!
Been doing this during whole winter back when I had severe health anxieties. And this.. This is simply beautiful. I got off my meds (SSRI), started breathing meditations, my quality of life improved greatly. [ *Edit* ] Whoa, thanks for the likes! Key thing that I learned over the year is that to feel the long term effects, you have to be consistent with the method, which was really hard for me. Wishing best of luck to everyone on their journey!
@@aavernox7441 i'd try it a few hours after the morning routine, your blood ph drops back down after a couple hours, you can just bring it back more alkaline by breathing say at lunch time.
From someone who didn't believe in this kinda stuff. It actually helped me get out of bed in the morning, when I was being mentally weak and I suppose suffering from a form of depression. I have been away from it for nearly 2yrs ,as life has been and is great. Now I'm back..not due to any negatives. But because I'm seeking some mental clarity and good health. Big love to all and especially wim 🙏🙏❤️❤️
I'm an addict & have been on substitutes for heroin for 20years but 7weeks 5days clean,my anxiety was quite bad as I was feeling everything for the 1st time In decades but this is giving me such peace,I still have alot of work to do on myself & hope to someday be able to help others out of that dark place 🥰
28 years old, single father, afraid i will be depressed and stagnant for the rest of my days. This man's breathing method helps me to immediatly UN-STAGNATE and ENERGIZE my state of being. It's helping me overcome my mind, tap into my masculine energy, and find my heart-place again. I'm in tears. Thank you, mr. Wim Hof. The music in this is great too
Stay positive buddy. Keep making a better version of yourself than you were yesterday every day you will get to where you want to be. I had a few years of next to no relationships and then met my wife when I was 29. Wishing you the best of luck.
In response to Vision seeker I am a 61 year old woman and I feel the same way you do then.Wim Hof method has changed the asthma I used to have.I'll be breathing well even though I feel very isolated. God bless stay strong
Stay strong bro, cant relate but im sure you can handle it! life is all about perspective, I was very negative and decided to get positive and pay attention to the good in life. at first I really had to force it, seeing the good of every situation. but it changed me alot and im really positive now! just don't put too much stress on life dude, be happy with your kid, take work hours easy and enjoy them. try to not slip into the "I realy want to get out of here" mood. You choose the meaning to your life! you can do it my friend.
Honestly feel like a different man ever since I started the Wim Hof Method. I combine the Wim Hof breathing technique with Headspace Mindfullness meditation. As soon as I do the 3 rounds, I start mindfullness and concentrate on the breaths again. It has worked miracles in my life - I am not a millionaire or anything but I am more at ease with myself, less anxiety and more focus towards my current activities. I wish I knew about this a lot sooner but its better late than never. WIshing everyone reading this a wonderful day. Peace.
Allen: I need your suggestion on how many times one can do this exercise per day and should I do All or I have to just do part 1 for few days and go step by step?
@@terefefeyssa877 Greetings! I believe in repetition and consistency. From my experience, its best to start your day with the SAVERS method by Hal Elrod. The Visualisation/Silence part can have wim hof breath work + headspace training on mindfullness. I do wim hof breathing technique twice a day. Once in the morning when I wake up and then once again after work at 6pm. You should try it regardless of results for at least a year before you judge its efficiency. Place your trust in the process blindly. I try to be consistent as I can but as we know, life gets in the way. I wish you all the best on this journey my friend!
Breathing 2 a day and do not forget gold showers at least once a day ,makes very strong and together with Qigong gives wonderful knowledge of the energie of our body
When Wim say's " It's okay" when about the person feeling the need to release their breath hold before the time, you can feel the emotion of genuine care in his voice. We're with you Wim!
The voice is soothing. Annoying ting is just when i had to hold it in near the end i had to sneeze uhh reflexes. I need to tho as i have nose issues and had to blow it soo much to deep breathe thru a nostril 🙄🤙
Hello Wim. I’ve been practicing your breathing method for about two years consistently. I use these TH-cam videos nearly every morning to start my day, followed by a cold shower. My four year old autistic son wakes up early and usually sits on the couch while I practice my breath work. The other day, when I was done, I offered to put on one of his cartoon shows, and instead he asked to watch your breath work tutorial, and he did all three rounds. This melted, my heart, and I’m thankful for the moment it created. I truly hope you see this message!
@@Clarityandwisdom33 it really is! Part of the way he learns to speak. Is through a method called scripting. Where he repeats phrases, he’s heard and uses them in the appropriate context. He quotes all the verbal cues during the video and it’s super adorable.
@@rickferr1546 inhaling through the mouth is more intense. I started inhaling through my nose and exhaling through the mouth, then after a while I switched it
My father died a few weeks ago and Wim's words have become my replacement for the encouragement I used to get daily from him. When Wim tells me I'm doing fantastic, that's all I need to set me up for the rest of my day. All the love, all the power wherever you are Dad ❤
After doing this for over 50 times. I just completed round three and was able to hold for 90secs. When I first started doing this off/on last year, I had pneumonia and could not hold for even 30 secs. Thankful for small victories. I wish you a good life!
This is insane! My breath hold used to be about 50 sec. I’m doing this exercise for the 3rd day. Twice a day, day & night. Now I’m able to hold my breath up to 2min 10 sec. It’s magic! And you can actually feel the tingling all over your chest
This is my maybe 8th session. Had a really traumatic incident where I was shot 3 times and managed to live. It changed my life and it really fucked me up mentally and emotionally the last 4 years but in these moments when I’m doing my holds I feel grounded again..even if its for a moment it feels like I’m me again. All the love.. all the power.
Trauma can be subtle too. I notice at times I’m scared when I shouldn’t be and then I remember “oh that happened”. Bringing awareness and forgiveness into it helps.
I want all the people posting their huge turnarounds to also give themselves credit. Yes, using the Wim Hof method has helped, but remember that it was the fact that you even did it at all that was a miracle. That was all you. Congratulations for making it this far, you will continue improving, and eventually you will succeed at whatever your goal is. It's just practice. Practice being better every single day, no matter your method.
I don’t know why but when Wim Hof said have a good night, or a good day and a good life, I started crying. It’s like I felt genuine love from him. I’ve been going through a lot and trying to unpack my trauma. I feel at peace now.
I have also experienced the same, and am working through the effects of trauma. I find when I do this breathwork, like the actual breaths part, it allows my grief to come forward, and sometimes I just let the tears flow and be present with the feelings .
“Let the body do what the body is capable of doing.” Exactly what I needed today after overthinking, stress, and anxiety. Then I reminded myself, my body is capable of healing itself, the human body, mind, and soul are simply amazing and naturally powerful. God created us in His image, giving us all the power, all the peace, all the innate love that we just naturally have. Let the body do what the body is capable of doing. This was the first time I broke through and held my breath for the 1:30!!!! So grateful and happy and feeling infinitely better physically, mentally and spiritually 🕊 our bodies are truly amazing and we are thankful for this human experience, everything included. Mind over matter.
I have such trouble with self-hatred. I started this exercise a couple of days ago, and the second time, during the 90 seconds, I could feel something from inside me hugging me so tightly and lovingly. This morning, during the 90 seconds, in my mind I just uncontrollably started telling myself how much I love me and that I was so sorry. Thank you Wim, really, I feel so much hope for the first time in so long. edit: thank you everyone for the kind and loving words, I wish you all the same. A month later I am still consistently making inner breakthroughs using this form of breathwork, I really encourage you all to keep up your practice!
Thank you for sharing something so personal. I too suffer from self hatred and I don't know why. I'm a good person and I know that but I despise the man in the mirror. This was the first time I've ever tried his breathing technique. I'm 41, been smoking a pack a day for 20+ years and while I had trouble keeping up with him I was so surprised I did and more surprised I held my breath as long as required. When he said what he said about feeling the blood flow through the veins, I felt that. Literally. And at that very moment. I hope I can motivate myself to do this daily. I actually feel a little "floaty" at the moment and I like that I didn't need drugs or alcohol to make it happen. Blessings to all. 2020 is almost over!!
@@UGABrodel It's hard to make it a routine. I just did it waking up for the first time in a couple months even though I love it. You can do it. All the power and love to you
Thats beautiful. I'm so glad it's working for you. I'm a 16-year-old couch surfer about to start college and I'm determined to find happiness and strength no matter where my life goes. I started this breathing exercise yesterday and I plan to do it ever morning. Ive only done it once so far but it's one of my favourite meditations already. This and body scan and are the best that I've ever done, but body scan is more time consuming.
I don't think I've met anyone more skeptical than me. But this, this right here...amazing. If you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, please try this. This man is a gold mine.
@Chuck Nourrizzz at first, I felt a little off, because the feeling was new. But after a few more sessions, I felt amazing. Like euphoric and calm in the same time. I had really really bad anxiety, but this technique helped me a lot. Again, you do need to tackle your anxiety and find the root cause of it. But this is a tool to help you get there, like a walking stick if you will.
@@MysteriesTruth yep, it is a bit weird and scary at first. I had a weird tingling sensation as well. It has something to do with co2 levels and oxygen levels in the blood. Nothing to worry about, only good can come out of this, trust me. But follow the instructions as said in the video and you will be fine.
Woke up with a bit of a headache this AM. Did a breathing session followed by ice cold shower. Headache gone! Total exhilaration that lasted well past 2pm. I don't know what it's like to suffer chronic headaches or migraines; never had a migraine. But all I can say is try this! You've got nothing to lose. It's free medicine. And if it works, well...
I'm on a long road of recovery from drug abuse. I decided to fully commit to the wim hof method. Cold showers, this breathing exercise. Those two things are so freaking powerful, its unbelievable almost. I feel like I'm vibrating by the end of the breathing rounds. The first time I did it, I had a HUGE smile on my face. I love you WIM!
@@DenisZenASMR Oh man, I'd fly into panic also if I were being harassed! Gosh that's awful. Home should always be a place that feels safe. I hope this helps too.
After recovering from COVID my lungs never were the same. I struggled to exercise because I always felt out of breath. This was something new to me since I’ve been an athlete all my life. After just 1 week of doing Wim Hof, I was able to run 1.5 miles as if I had been running for months. Thank you for this 🙏
Great! It helped me too: to get enough oxygen during the heaviest covid-19 days, I needed it every 3 hours, but what a relief! Helped indeed with a good recovery after.
Last week I was in a very dark place. Constant tension in my whole body, trouble breathing, heart failing, insomnia, depressed. After one week of your method I feel young again! I rode my bike for 30 minutes today with an intensity I haven't had in many years. My future no longer seems dark, but open and free from doubt. Thanks is not enough, for your method has saved my life. Bless you Wim!!!
After doing this exercise and reading these comments I started crying and laugh uncontrollably. I suffered from anxiety, depression and thoughts of suicide my whole life, and for the first time in my life I just found peace with that. THANK YOU WIM, YOU TRUELY GAVE ME AN UNDISCRIBABLE GIFT
@@allthingsfrench1391 Let the body do what the body is capable of doing. The body gets sad and depressed and can't see point sometimes. That's ok.....let the body go...... I hope that peace stays with you forever!
Been doing WHM now 2 weeks and I feel better than ever. 10 years of anxiety, GONE! I can't wait for my cold shower everyday, and breathing in the morning! Thank you Wim, much love and blessings. :)
I have PTSD this is helping me so much to become more aware of my body, along with the cold showers 🚿 It is helping me with the PTSD symptoms. Thank you so much Wim hoff
See update in comments..❣. Wim saved my life a few months ago, I choked while eating...a super natural calm descended over me and I heard Wims calming voice telling me to let the body do what the body does, you are doing great....I sat there calmly and peacefully with no air when suddenly the food dislodged itself and went down. Today he is saving my life again...I have found myself suddenly homeless for the first time in my life, and I restarted returning to the breath...I get fearful and anxious everyday, but Wims breathwork reminds me that I am safe in this moment and there is hope. Thank you Wim, I literally owe you my life..❤
@@abigailestherrobinson2204 ..... ....in had retention is the key thing of this method..... squeezing the air in the head leads to activation of peniel gland......u really don't know baby Ho powerful it is.... Exceptionally powerful....cz our body is a Mechine it has a peak performance...... You will get that.....just wait till that.......
This is my first time ever doing a breathing exercise, I was having an anxiety attack when I started. I am shook. I’m so calm now. I am so grateful that I found this 🙏🏻 I didn’t even know I could hold my breath for so long. I’m amazed. Thank you universe for leading me to this very necessary video.
Welcome to the club, just wait until you start taking cold showers after doing this its literally going to change how you live your life and how you feel from day to day taking cold showers has helped me so much you definitely need to check it out
I'm just an ordinary 64 year old woman lives in Australia who walks on the beach and has a swim in the ocean every morning to try to keep fit. I live alone and work in disability. Wim Hoff breathing method has enhanced my life incredibly and has released my stress and got me through some tough times. That and cold showers. Thank you so much. Wim for making this free to all to try.
I'm just an ordinary 75 year old guy living in upstate NY. Fully agree, Wim has helped thousands+ get healthier with his various methods. Hope you are doing well! Cheers, Bob
I'm 67 and in nz. Wim got me through hard times.The passing of my beautiful Samoan mum last July and on the same day my beautiful cousin. The breathing just puts everything in perspective. Such a shame World leaders like Putin etc can't learn this.Imagine the world then.If everybody took cold showers imagine the ecological benefit.Ah if only.Bless.
This has been such a blessing for me! 20 years of SSRI use and brain fog, psychosis when I got off in Nov 2022 and a year and a half of trying other antidepressants and bezos that caused painful and even suicidal ideation toward the end. On one of my worst days, I had this thought to look up ice baths - as I had heard of them before - and went home, filled the tub with cold water and ice and painfully got in. It has been trial and error, but eventually, I just chopped a hole through the ice in my pool and went right in. Now the ice is out, I am taking cold showers and looking at getting a freezer. The WHM has been a gift from God.
I have Parkinson's and have been doing Wim Hof breathing excersises for 2 months. I have noticed a definite improvement in most aspects of my condition. Thank you Wim!
The folks afflicted with that condition need to hear your story! It runs on one side of my family, and I’m doing wim hof preemptively. It helps in so many ways. I feel calmer, less anxious. All the best to you.
I am 14, and have been sick for the last couple of days with a breathing problem. I tried this and it flowed me with oxygen. I went from being able to hold my breath from 20 seconds to 1 minute. It’s awesome how helpful this is.
That's awesome sweetheart, so grateful you were guided to this amazing healing breathing technique at such a young age, wishing you boundless blessings for a wonderful life 🙏🏽🙏🏽😇❤
I'm just a few days in, maybe 5 day with cold shower finish and 3rd day of breathing. This morning I did 15 "leaned over" pushups against the edge of the table after I did the breathing exercise. I'm 73, just starting, and yeasterday I could only do 3 of these easy, old lady pushups! I'm born and raised in the 50s in San Antonio, Texas, in a heat wave and a drought. I now live in Northern Colorado, and I've suffered with the cold for 36 years here. I'm committed to getting more comfortable here and also to getting stronger. I've had three concussions since 2015, and they really changed a lot. I'm tired of being tired, weak, and cold. Thanks for finding me, Wim Hof!!
I feel so inspired reading your comment. I am almost 63 and last 15 years dealing with health issues, adrenals crashed 12 years ago (depression, fibromyalgia, insomnia, etc.) and had to leave my job. Trying my best to heal. If you have a chance, could you please let me know if we breathe in through the mouth. I have watched a few videos of Wim Hof but I cannot tell. Take care May God bless you with very good health, happiness and peace, Ameen".
Holy mother of God, i did this for the first time and it made me genuinely happy 😁😁 and I held my breath linger than 1:30. COVID survivor afyer having been in the hospital for a week and having to use oxygen for three months. That was at the beginning of the year. So happy to have found this.
Also look up Buteyko Method by Patrick McKeown. It’s not either or. He has good videos for Covid and did video on London Real explaining diff btw his method and WH.
NO matter what I do I wake up constantly through the night. Since I started doing this every second day in the morning....plus slow breathing through a stwa every evening for a few mins..... my wakings have reduced by 90%. my sleep apnea and snoring reduced to about the same. (smart watch wearer) Absolutely mind blown.
I lost my Dad in March. I’ve been a mess the past week; no focus, no motivation, no passion. I’ve had this video book marked for the past couple of weeks and I’ve just been putting this off. I just watched it for the first time and I broke down crying at the last release of breath. After a solid 15 minutes of the deepest crying I’ve had since I watched my Dad take his last breath, I felt a weight I didn’t know I was carrying lift from my shoulders. Thank you. Im getting the app and will be doing this again tomorrow.
Just want to send you so much love and strength and say I’m proud of u , it must be so unbelievably difficult given what ure going through but I just hope this can really help ure healing or just help you to get through , ure dad is definitely smiling down at u may he rest in paradise . And may u start to heal ❤️❤️~ lots of love ❤️❤️
Same here. I had a deep emotional response the first breathing exercise and have been using the fundamentals course. I'm working on my blood pressure but even if I don't see profound instant results, I'll keep doing this long term. Found this video to share with friends.
Started cold showers right after the peterson podcast. After few days im eagerly waiting to do morning showers. Now working with the breathing exercises. Great stuff.
Watched a wim hof this or that video before this gave me a lot of joy. I've been away from breathwork for awhile, my addictions and depression were taking precedence. Today instead of smoking first thing in the morning I did this video, it was surprisingly easy and I feel more satisfied. Praying I can replace all my old bad habits with ones that make me thrive. So much love to Wim Hof.
I've never done anything like this and cannot typically hold my breath for more than 20 seconds.. that being said, this was my first time and I cannot believe I made it 90 seconds! Not sure why but immediately after this exercise I had an emotional release and now I just feel... clear, light and calm. Definitely making this a regular thing. Thank you!
i'm 23 years old, and i used to have horrible anxiety attacks. Its been a year anniversary since my last one, and funny enough, i've been anxious about being anxious again. Tried this for the first time and i can't put into words how much this relieved me. i feel so free and ready to confront and live the day. thank you Wim Hof. You're a gift.
I had a nervous brakedown just over five weeks ago and am mainly suffering from anxiety now, I started the meditation yesterday and managed to complete it, I woke today with less anxiety and negative racing thoughts, I will continue with the meditation and update my experience.
@@dolcevitaslots Brother , if you do the wimhoff method you will get practice to start doing pranayama . 1.Bhastrika 2.Anuloma viloma 3. Kumbhaka pranayama The above 3 , if done every day for 30 mins then you don't need any other meditation
I also had a complete nervous breakdown about 5 months ago it was the most horrible scary thing that's ever happened to me I thought I was lost forever. Thankfully it's mostly behind me now but it left me with elevated general anxiety that kind of fluctuates in intensity but is always there, I'm learning techniques to reduce it and hopefully completely recover from it, it's a huge relief once you find things that work for you and start feeling better, it's a light at the end of the tunnel and you know that you can and will find your way out. Hope you're feeling better 🙏❤️
@@ats-3693 did you take medication? I’m afraid to start my medication but I have anxiety, panic and depression which was started by my panic attack last month I’m suffering immensely and having shaking in my body and hands 😪
Directly after 2 weeks of this exercise and the showering, i can feel the change allready. I'm more calm, less stressed, more feeling then thinking and I'm more in the moment. In the now, which is life. Being focused in the moment helps me with the anxiety and stress, but it also helped me with my diabetes type 1. After these couple weeks, I can feel the difference, and it really has a impact on my moods and glucose level. Thanks wim, everytime! Everyday! All the luck and power to everybody! This changed my life allready, and as wim says, stop thinking, start feeling. I can say I finally found a way to stop my head from overthinking. I feel great, and I want you all to feel that same way! Bless you all!
@@ssamn5590 just lay down or sit , on your bed or sofa, and yes you can do it alone there is nothing wrong with it. Only if you want to train with the cold i say you should not do it alone. But you could take a cold shower instead. The ice bath you should never do it alone untill you fully know how it works
Lol once you start doing it . It's quite addictive. I have to thank the young man at work . And especially now this person said it's helping thier diabetis. I'll stick with it. I have two months at work then I'm off for the summer .more time to work on me and be free
Wim, and everyone, when I wake up in the middle of the night gripped in panic, fear, rage, and the bottomless hurt underneath it, I come to this beginner's video. I cant tell you how deeply I appreciate how much this helps, when nothing else will. Thank you for this healing. After I do this I can acknowledge my own feelings and give myself the unconditional love. Thank you. I could not do it from the place of immense hurt and pain and you are showing a way out of that. I can't thank you enough and thank you to all here 💗🌈
Years ago I was living above Wilshire Boulevard near MacArthur Park. One night I woke up after 1 a.m. and I felt really upset, sensing an ominous presence all around. I looked out the window to the street below, bathed in the yellow-orange lights of the sodium-vapor bulbs. Things looked ghastly, like in a horror movie. I remembered the pranayama course I took in San Francisco and began a systematic deep breathing technique, concentrating on the sensation of air coming into and leaving the lungs. In a short time I felt enormously better, no longer feeling vulnerable in a dangerous situation. My heart rate dropped, my relaxation response kicked in and I calmly fell asleep. I am convinced that we can all benefit from learning to breathe to activate our higher levels of mental and physical health. Thank you to Wim Hof for his helpful videos and programs.
I’ve realized over the last few years just how bad I am breathing. I’m always anxious and breath shallowly. Even this was hard for me but I’m going to stick with it and get better. I got this.
I am doing for 2 months. I was lazy, had weak will power. Would not take bath if there was no hot water for days. At the age of 78 I am completely changed ,metamorphosis has happened. Taking bath with cold water three times. Started with few seconds. Now I can take 5 to 10 minutes. My determination is strong now. If yoshimori can have Nobel prize for autophagy by intermittent fasting killing sick cells, why not you. You have changed so many. My thanks will be nothing in compare to your contribution in my life. I adore you.

Keep it up! You've got this! I don't know if you already do this but, try and get out of the AA mindset of, "I'll always be an alcoholic/addict/gambler". I found that it held me back to think that way, that it was very negative. That's the past, you were that thing, but you no longer are. If you can become someone that is an alcoholic, then you can become someone that isn't an alcoholic. All the literature talks about the battlefield of the mind and the power of the mind, and it's true, that 1st drink starts with a thought, so, for me anyway, it helped to get out of that way of thinking, that I'd always be an addict, because I'm not. My Pastor calls that way of thinking "white knuckle sobriety", which, I think, describes it perfectly. I know I can't ever drink or take drugs again, but I'm not an addict anymore, because I'm not addicted to them anymore. I have no idea if this will help or even be relatable to you but, I just felt I was supposed to share it with you. Sending prayers your way! Take care my friend!
Holding my breathe for 1:30 reminded me of when I had a near death experiance in the Jordanian desert . I chocked up on water and could not breathe. My body panicked and was desperate for air. Then my body resigned it self to dying. I heard people around me panic and cry but I was so distant and ditached from it all. surprising to me I was at ease and in complete blessful calm. That experiance focused my mind on a carnel fact. You are as good as your last breathe of air. Live life one moment at a time and be thankful. These exercises are very helpful at changing your body chemisty and cleansing you from the inside. Breathe yourself into a higher version of being.
I've been doing this exercise for the last few months via these videos... today in my video production business I had an absolute disaster where we lost a 4 days worth of client footage that was not re-shootable. Its never happened to me in 5 years of work, and I had no idea what to do. I was in deep stress and decided I'd try doing a round of this. Once I had finished not only was I significantly calmer, but a solution to the problem came to me and everything worked out and solved. This stuff works as far as I'm concerned.
I am 47. have been doing the breathing session for one month now. From the first day I started feeling better and have cut down massively on my tobbaco and weed usage after being helpless about it for years. But the most amazing effect is my period just returned after it stopped a year ago. I am shocked and can not believe this has happened. Thank You Wim . This is a life altering method. Thank you!!!
I am currently suffering with covid. I’m 17 years old and my dad is a huge fan. He showed me this breathing exercise and now I can’t stop doing it. Thank you for your kind heart, thank you for sharing this with the world. I feel so calm and free.
I have been battling depression for 8 years now due to my parents being divorced and fighting all the time. This has helped me break through depression when times are tough. Thank you Wim hof for everything you do.
I’ve never commented on a TH-cam video but this video truly gave me relief from anxiety that has plagued me for years. I can’t express how grateful I am to wim hoff for and for all the other lovely people in the comments 😌
Amen. I've had anxiety too. Just started this path and I will continue. I used to do cold baths n showers ppl thought I was crazy but it made me feel alive. It's time for us to feel alive again with the breathe of God.
I'm 6 weeks now into the wim hof method. I'm incomplete paraglegia. This has given me my life back. Ended up with severe depression and dependant on opiods. For once I now feel as though life is getting better. Light at the end of the tunnel. This is the only thing I've done that is different
This is seriously life changing!! Ever since I could remember I suffered from anxiety, panic attacks needing benzos & now I am free!! To anyone reading this, please try this. Your anxiety will say you can’t do it, but remember that YOU are in control - you’ve nothing to lose & everything to gain!!! Thank you, Whim, I am eternally grateful to you!!! 🙏🏻💜
Apologies for the delay -haven’t been on YT til now (I’ve dl this video lol) What kind of specifics would you like..? If you mean dis-ease wise, I suffered with anxiety, gad, depression, insomnia, etc, ever since I was a child, was diagnosed with cptsd 5 yrs ago. I’ve been on all the meds & treatments you can think off! Now, there are bad days, but definitely nowhere near as severe as it was. I also now meditate, do grounding, (it’s been scientifically proven to work) watch what I ‘feed’ myself (food, words, movies/tv, music, surroundings) do affirmations, journaling, as it definitely influences my moods. It may all sound odd; I was a pessimistic skeptic so I didn’t believe it myself, but.. I had nothing to lose & everything to gain! :) Whim’s breathing method gives me a natural high..you just feel so energised & refreshed! Dunno if that was what you wanted to know, if you didn’t, let me know! x
I had a just, sublime moment of peace today while listening to this, running through this exercise. I'm a little lost in life right now. I feel like I've wasted so much time, taken so much for granted. I've been horribly depressed and anxious this last year, I've been unable to afford my medication since my insurance ran out, and I'm just overwhelmed by the feelings I've been having. Today, if even for a moment, I'm crying, I'm truly at such peace and I can't help myself. Thank you Wim. I will continue to do this, and hopefully I can find a little bit of that peace more often.
This is incredible, reduces my stress massively. I start every day with a guided meditation, wim hof breathing and get up whilst listening to eckhart tolle, RSD, motivational stuff and then listen to new music in a cold shower then do exercise. Don't check my phone or emails. Always a great start to the day.
Damn,this sounds like an AMAZING way to start your day! I am working towards a similar start. How did you go about it? What did you start with and how did you gradually incorporate it all? ANd how long did it take?
Hey, TH-cam or apps for meditation. I do 5-10 mins meditation first thing whilst still half asleep, into Wim Hof, throw on the audio like eckhart or RSD etc whilst getting up until I'm working basically. Blast music in the cold shower then back to audio once I'm out the shower. Make my bed before leaving my room. You've already achieved loads this way before even starting your day properly. akes about 40 mins, then exercise is separate throughout the day. Morning routines are underrated and highly recommend, good luck! :-)
Stopped the breathing exercises for almost a year, going through a very stressful time right now and you are who I’ve turned too. Excellent feeling after finishing this. Thank you. ❤
This is , wonderful! I am 75 and in pretty good shape but I was missing something,. After practizing this for a month or so I know what was missing-the fire in me, the feeling of being alive in my body! I love his warmth and genuine kindness. Bless you Wim Hof ! We are blessed to have you in these times!
@@pigspigs76 Thank you! And I do wherever I find the curiosity- to young of age and to aged young people. And yes it is age old knowledge that Wim Hof has developped for the West. He is a warrior and I am grateful to have found him. Be well!💜
This never gets old. And it's crazy (in the best way) how much Wim Hoff helps people, right where they are at, in all the places they are. This is your moment, you who are reading this. The beginning of your new beginning. 💓💓💓
I love this technique. I am able to “drift off” from the guidance at a certain point & hold my breathe peacefully for up to 3 mins, and disclaimer; I have first stage emphysema & chronic bronchitis, and my lungs are often inflamed day to day, I say that to say, the power of mediation & deep breathing is attainable for anyone! We all have this unlimited power within us! Align with source & you will never be led in fear! 💗💗💗💗 I love all. Namaste. 🧘🏻♀️🙏🏽💗
How wonderful to hear Goddess Rising. I have asthma - am close to 70 - still need to work - have been doing this for 4 days now and am so intrigued at the results...baby steps but good steps
Hey, I’ve had same symptoms. I healed myself with Intervall fasting 18:6. a lot of curcuma, pepper ginger, garlic, lemon water and cold showers healed me. And of course a lot of breathing with Wim 😊 lots of love
@@sumorgify I’m in the same boat but I’m 54...really crippling asthma! Tonight I felt I would be going into the ER....but I found Wim’s vids and I’m feeling transformed by this! I feel so overwhelmed with gratitude! Breath is so precious...I feel that this method is changing my life!
@@janiss3700 hello i have lung problems and taking herb tea to help ,could you tell me the amounts that helped you please.As i struggle to get passed 1 minute thanks Marc
This technique is the best one I've ever found. I'm in recovery from addiction and struggle with a lot of mental health stuff; this has helped me tremendously through my process. Thank you Wim Hof!! To everyone here, I wish you all peace, love, and good vibes 🌞🫶🏻
I have been doing this for about 2 months now and this is the first time I got through the last 1:30! Not bad for a 50 year old smoker wooo! I feel great, thank you Wim!
What a guy that Wim Hof. Changed my life in only one day. Should be awarded some prizes and medals. A giant statue of him in his shorts at the top of every mountain is a good start.
It's crazy, I'm a stage 4 lung & liver cancer survivor & used to struggle to breathe. Now not only can I breathe better. I can hold my breath for a while with ease! So happy I found this!
That’s amazing, keep it up!
Praise God you are ok. I saw your nickname. Thank you. Thank you.
Glad to hear that. How many times do you practice this method in a day?
God bless you
Damn, glad you're among the living, you Badass.
I suffer from Agoraphobia and have been housebound for 2 years now...I'm on day 3 and left the house without a care in the world....tears of joy are running down my face as I type this. Thank you wim,
Don’t know what agoraphobia is but god bless you brother ..keep up the good work ..Sending thoughts and prayers to your mind and soul !
Im the same, except I also cant be in the house alone. Very taxing on myself and the people around me.
Let's be progress buddies haha
thank you for sharing! so glad youre finding some light
Fuck yeah!!! Fuck yeah!!!! Welcome back to the world sorry we fucked it up while you were indoors! But breathe the free air and know even strangers are proud of you. You! You're awesome and don't ever forget it
So happy for you!!!! Sending love from Alabama!
Had never heard of Wim Hof until just a few days ago. I'm 70 years old and not much inspires me anymore. I've been doing this breathing exercise morning and night and feel like I've discovered the fountain of youth. I look forward to better health and less stress. Bless you Mr Hof.
Catherine Downey It’s better doing this technique away from the city , place where there’s a mountain, trees, and a river. Guess you can say you’ll be breathing in the ‘prana’ the breath of life
Catherine Downey my dads 74 and he seems motivated everyday taking care of his garden, vegetables, fruits and not one day I don’t see him not smiling. He feels blessed and appreciated for reaching that age when there’s millions that don’t. 🙏
Do it where you can. That’s all any of us can do
It's so nice to know. My father is 82 and just started. I hope you persevere (and us too) because people that have done it for a year so far, say their health and emotional well being has improved. I want to persevere too, can not do it anywhere else but my ventilated room before breakfast but I've been feeling great. What works for me is staying aware of the moment I'm doing the excercise because there's been days I've done it in a hurry because I have lots of things on my mind and haven't felt as great as when I'm fully focused in my breathing. Infinite blessings 🙏🏼
I am 73 , I started WH method 1 month ago . I also practice yoga and cardio exercises. I feel great . Greetings from Almeria Spain at the Mediterranean Sea
When my relationship ended, I felt like my world was crumbling around me. The pain was so intense that it was almost tangible, like a heavy weight pressing down on my chest. I didn't know how to cope, how to move forward, until I stumbled upon Wim Hof's breathing technique.
At first, I was skeptical. How could something as simple as breathing possibly help me through this agony? But I was desperate, willing to try anything to find relief from the relentless ache in my heart. So, with nothing to lose, I gave it a shot.
As I sat there, following Wim Hof's instructions, something incredible happened. With each deep breath, it was as if a wave of calm washed over me, soothing the turmoil within. For the first time since the breakup, I felt a sense of peace, however fleeting it may have been.
But I didn't stop there. I made a commitment to myself to practice this breathing technique every day, no matter how painful it felt at first. And slowly, but surely, I began to notice a shift. The pain didn't disappear overnight, but it became more manageable. I could breathe a little easier, think a little clearer.
What surprised me most, though, were the physical benefits. I had always heard about the mind-body connection, but I never truly understood it until now. With each inhale, I could feel tension melting away from my body, leaving me feeling lighter, more energized.
But perhaps the most profound change of all was the way it helped me reconnect with myself. In the midst of heartache, it's easy to lose sight of who you are-to become defined by your pain. But through this practice, I rediscovered my inner strength, my resilience.
Today, as I look back on that dark period of my life, I am filled with gratitude for the role that Wim Hof's breathing technique played in my healing journey. It wasn't a quick fix, nor was it a cure-all. But it was a tool-a lifeline-that helped me navigate the stormy seas of heartbreak and emerge stronger on the other side. And for that, I will be forever grateful.
Que bueno 👌🏻
I went through something very similar and wim hof helped tremendously. Im glad to hear he has helped you heal as well. Keep it up!
Incredible. Thank you for sharing💛
I am struggling through this pain right now too and your comment gives me hope ❤️🩹
How are you feeling now sister?
started doing the breathing exercises for a month and I don’t get anxiety attacks like often before. I suffered from depression because I am a double leg amputee. I thought the world was done for me.now I feel calm , ready and positive. I told myself this is not my destiny. I’m getting my prosthetic legs next week and ready to explore this world. I love it. Wim Hof 4 life!!!
oh my word man, yeah you know when people share stories like this i realize i don't have anything to complain about in my life. Im so happy to hear that you're getting prosthetics and i hope you keep riding that drive to do great things in life. Damn, consider me inspired.
Thats awesome to hear, all best wishes for you!
keep us updated with how your prosthetics feel! congratulations, keep breathing!
Hope you have your new legs, you are doing great
Hope you got your legs, man!
To everyone who has come to watch is:
You haven't come here accidently, you've come here to heal yourself, both physically as well as mentally, and for that I salute you. All the best.
May everyone heal and become the best version of themselves !

Congrats. I’m sure you’re aware but that’s no small feat. I certainly you take pride in your effort to abstain, and I hope life is rewarding you accordingly.
I am suffering from agoraphobia. Day 4 - I did the breathing exercise and a cold shower (30 seconds) afterwards.
I just took public transportations for the first time in a year! This works people.

Awesome to hear!!! You're strong 👍💪💪
Niobe12345 do you do this everyday and should it be followed by cold shower immediately?
@@bristolbomber1234 Yes, I do it everyday and I always follow up with a cold shower. It works for me. :)
I’ve been doing the breath work and the cold showers for 40 days now. I’ve been taking up to 10 painkillers for 20 years every single day. I stopped taking painkillers 35 days ago. Thank you Wim Hof for changing my life for the better 🙏🏻
That sounds really great...this was my first day to follow Wim's Guided Breathing technique and I am taking cold shower since last week of November 2020.If you are experiencing Sex transmutation/Semen retention/No Fap, so daily workout + meditation + breathing technique + cold shower + trekking or hiking at least once a week are the best transmutation tools.

I’m here as a heavily depressed and anxious person trying to take charge of my life, starting with this technique. Wish me
Luck
Good luck! ❤
You’re in the right place 🙏💚 also I really recommend getting the 1 Giant Mind App and doing their meditation. They make it completely free for everyone to help the world. It changed my life so much when I was going through a lot of anxiety and depression. I was so anxious that half of my face would go numb to give you an idea. For some reason that’s how it manifested in my body but this breathing technique along with that meditation and somatic experiencing has reduced the anxiety by 80% I would say.
Nervous system regulation feels so good! How are you doing 8 months later?
How is your progress going??
Best of luck!
I am 81 years old and have been doing this for two months evverydsy. I am now doing it three times a day. When I started I could now remember many words in a conversation. My memory was so bad. Now it is like it was when I was much younger. Thank you Win for sharing your time and knowledge to help other people.

Good stuff buddy, keep it up!
Love to hear it, keep it up!
Traumas. Built up stress.
Around the same age and situation as you and tears also came to my eyes. Its ok. Let it out.
My husband and I have been doing this method for around 4 months.. It has become part of our daily lives.. We have included it during our morning rituals..We watch this video each time...I love hearing his encouraging words.. I admit to hearing them during the day... I'll take a deep breathe, "You are doing fantastic".. ""give it all you got".. And when I need uplifting... "you are doing okay".
The ten minutes to do this practice is well worth it. I have only been able to hold my breathe the full 90 seconds a few times. I was diagnosed with COPD... I did a lung test after 3 months and clearly it shows how strong my lungs have become..
... Thank you Wim.. You have made a difference in our lives. Bless you.💙
More than I can do that's for sure
Good for you two! Bless you and your husband too!❤

Patrick D , Wonderful !!!
I wish to stop drinking fully. Does this breathing exercise alone is sufficient ? In my past , I quit it few times and then started again..I wish I get rid off the poison forever
Hi Patrick, I hope I don't offen you, I believe it was an earth Angel that told you that, especially if you were praying for help, no accident. Wow well done to you and all the best of luck to you 👍💕🍀
pdp nag everyone is different

May Lord give our mind peace and health.

Are you fully cured now?
Same , jus did this and felt like I could breath again like when I was a child , second session caused a strong opening of my lower lungs resulting in scary tightening of my lungs. Be careful with this stuff and ease into it slowly !!
Same to you man! Hope all is going well! ✌
Been doing this during whole winter back when I had severe health anxieties. And this.. This is simply beautiful. I got off my meds (SSRI), started breathing meditations, my quality of life improved greatly.
[ *Edit* ]
Whoa, thanks for the likes! Key thing that I learned over the year is that to feel the long term effects, you have to be consistent with the method, which was really hard for me. Wishing best of luck to everyone on their journey!

How Many Times A Day You Perform This Wonderful Routine?
Or Can You Repeat It As Much As You Like?
@@aavernox7441 i'd try it a few hours after the morning routine, your blood ph drops back down after a couple hours, you can just bring it back more alkaline by breathing say at lunch time.
From someone who didn't believe in this kinda stuff.
It actually helped me get out of bed in the morning, when I was being mentally weak and I suppose suffering from a form of depression.
I have been away from it for nearly 2yrs ,as life has been and is great.
Now I'm back..not due to any negatives. But because I'm seeking some mental clarity and good health.

at first I really had to force it, seeing the good of every situation.
but it changed me alot and im really positive now!

Honestly feel like a different man ever since I started the Wim Hof Method. I combine the Wim Hof breathing technique with Headspace Mindfullness meditation. As soon as I do the 3 rounds, I start mindfullness and concentrate on the breaths again. It has worked miracles in my life - I am not a millionaire or anything but I am more at ease with myself, less anxiety and more focus towards my current activities. I wish I knew about this a lot sooner but its better late than never. WIshing everyone reading this a wonderful day. Peace.
Allen: I need your suggestion on how many times one can do this exercise per day and should I do
All or I have to just do part 1 for few days and go step by step?
@@terefefeyssa877 Greetings! I believe in repetition and consistency. From my experience, its best to start your day with the SAVERS method by Hal Elrod. The Visualisation/Silence part can have wim hof breath work + headspace training on mindfullness. I do wim hof breathing technique twice a day. Once in the morning when I wake up and then once again after work at 6pm. You should try it regardless of results for at least a year before you judge its efficiency. Place your trust in the process blindly. I try to be consistent as I can but as we know, life gets in the way. I wish you all the best on this journey my friend!
@@allen7299: Thank you so much but I never heard about Hal elrod. Great feed back
Instead of headspace, use medito. It's not a money making scheme like headspace is.
Breathing 2 a day and do not forget gold showers at least once a day ,makes very strong and together with Qigong gives wonderful knowledge of the energie of our body
When Wim say's " It's okay" when about the person feeling the need to release their breath hold before the time, you can feel the emotion of genuine care in his voice. We're with you Wim!
I totally agree! Don't really know if it is the breathing exercise or the voice that helps the most, hehe
The voice is soothing. Annoying ting is just when i had to hold it in near the end i had to sneeze uhh reflexes. I need to tho as i have nose issues and had to blow it soo much to deep breathe thru a nostril 🙄🤙

Hello Wim. I’ve been practicing your breathing method for about two years consistently. I use these TH-cam videos nearly every morning to start my day, followed by a cold shower.
My four year old autistic son wakes up early and usually sits on the couch while I practice my breath work.
The other day, when I was done, I offered to put on one of his cartoon shows, and instead he asked to watch your breath work tutorial, and he did all three rounds.
This melted, my heart, and I’m thankful for the moment it created.
I truly hope you see this message!
That’s amazing! 💚
@@Clarityandwisdom33 it really is! Part of the way he learns to speak. Is through a method called scripting. Where he repeats phrases, he’s heard and uses them in the appropriate context. He quotes all the verbal cues during the video and it’s super adorable.
I have an autistic brother and its lovely to hear this! :)
@@munkey4821 what makes it more special is my wife and I will use breath work and cues to help calm him down when he gets worked up and overwhelmed.
Ohh, what a wonderful thing to hear. So moving.
Five years later, when things got bad I’m back here and its absolutely unbelievable how this breathing practice helps getting over everything
Hey bro I want an advice can I do these every day? With help of video only

When Wim says: "You are doing fantastic"....I feel all the peace, confidence and happiness:-). And it gives me power. Thank you, Wim!
When he says that I feel like he is with me and feel so protected relaxed
Those comforting words gave me a big peaceful smile too
When breathing in is the from the nose or mouth? Sounds like he's breathing from mouth
@@rickferr1546 inhaling through the mouth is more intense. I started inhaling through my nose and exhaling through the mouth, then after a while I switched it
@@stenkytt4544 do you find it better doing it from your nose
My father died a few weeks ago and Wim's words have become my replacement for the encouragement I used to get daily from him. When Wim tells me I'm doing fantastic, that's all I need to set me up for the rest of my day. All the love, all the power wherever you are Dad ❤
Sorry to hear, RIP to your dad. I hope you are having a good day today.
Sorry for your dad, may he rest in peace 💗
Rip 🙏
RIP Sir
Rest in peace 🙏
After doing this for over 50 times. I just completed round three and was able to hold for 90secs. When I first started doing this off/on last year, I had pneumonia and could not hold for even 30 secs. Thankful for small victories. I wish you a good life!
Congratulations, Glenn 😊
Keep putting in ur effort.only consistent effort is the key
Wonderful!
I’ve improved from 30 seconds to almost 3 min a couple times in 2 months! My key is to get into a deep meditative state before I do Wim Hof Breathing
Doppelganger
This is insane! My breath hold used to be about 50 sec. I’m doing this exercise for the 3rd day. Twice a day, day & night. Now I’m able to hold my breath up to 2min 10 sec. It’s magic! And you can actually feel the tingling all over your chest
This is my maybe 8th session. Had a really traumatic incident where I was shot 3 times and managed to live. It changed my life and it really fucked me up mentally and emotionally the last 4 years but in these moments when I’m doing my holds I feel grounded again..even if its for a moment it feels like I’m me again. All the love.. all the power.
I hope you heal soon brother stay strong ☝️
@@loic4396 some days are harder than others my brother thank you
Pick up archery 🏹🤪
Trauma can be subtle too. I notice at times I’m scared when I shouldn’t be and then I remember “oh that happened”. Bringing awareness and forgiveness into it helps.

I want all the people posting their huge turnarounds to also give themselves credit. Yes, using the Wim Hof method has helped, but remember that it was the fact that you even did it at all that was a miracle. That was all you. Congratulations for making it this far, you will continue improving, and eventually you will succeed at whatever your goal is. It's just practice. Practice being better every single day, no matter your method.
Love this, this is smth that helps but who decided to do smth with that it's you
So very true
Excellent point well said.
they did what? took 5 minutes out to breathe in and out? cerdit worhty? nah XD
so sweet of you, thanks 💟
I don’t know why but when Wim Hof said have a good night, or a good day and a good life, I started crying. It’s like I felt genuine love from him. I’ve been going through a lot and trying to unpack my trauma. I feel at peace now.
I have also experienced the same, and am working through the effects of trauma. I find when I do this breathwork, like the actual breaths part, it allows my grief to come forward, and sometimes I just let the tears flow and be present with the feelings .
❤
He eminates love 🥰
Same here
I have the same experience
“Let the body do what the body is capable of doing.”
Exactly what I needed today after overthinking, stress, and anxiety. Then I reminded myself, my body is capable of healing itself, the human body, mind, and soul are simply amazing and naturally powerful. God created us in His image, giving us all the power, all the peace, all the innate love that we just naturally have. Let the body do what the body is capable of doing. This was the first time I broke through and held my breath for the 1:30!!!! So grateful and happy and feeling infinitely better physically, mentally and spiritually 🕊 our bodies are truly amazing and we are thankful for this human experience, everything included. Mind over matter.
Well said Soooooo true 👍 👏 👌 🙌 😀
I have such trouble with self-hatred. I started this exercise a couple of days ago, and the second time, during the 90 seconds, I could feel something from inside me hugging me so tightly and lovingly. This morning, during the 90 seconds, in my mind I just uncontrollably started telling myself how much I love me and that I was so sorry. Thank you Wim, really, I feel so much hope for the first time in so long.
edit: thank you everyone for the kind and loving words, I wish you all the same. A month later I am still consistently making inner breakthroughs using this form of breathwork, I really encourage you all to keep up your practice!
That's amazing! All power too you so keep it going strong!!
Wow incredible. I believe that was you without the ego attached. 🤙 you are awesome and now you know it.
Thank you for sharing something so personal. I too suffer from self hatred and I don't know why. I'm a good person and I know that but I despise the man in the mirror. This was the first time I've ever tried his breathing technique. I'm 41, been smoking a pack a day for 20+ years and while I had trouble keeping up with him I was so surprised I did and more surprised I held my breath as long as required. When he said what he said about feeling the blood flow through the veins, I felt that. Literally. And at that very moment. I hope I can motivate myself to do this daily. I actually feel a little "floaty" at the moment and I like that I didn't need drugs or alcohol to make it happen.
Blessings to all. 2020 is almost over!!
@@UGABrodel It's hard to make it a routine. I just did it waking up for the first time in a couple months even though I love it. You can do it. All the power and love to you
Thats beautiful. I'm so glad it's working for you. I'm a 16-year-old couch surfer about to start college and I'm determined to find happiness and strength no matter where my life goes. I started this breathing exercise yesterday and I plan to do it ever morning. Ive only done it once so far but it's one of my favourite meditations already. This and body scan and are the best that I've ever done, but body scan is more time consuming.
I don't think I've met anyone more skeptical than me. But this, this right here...amazing. If you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, please try this. This man is a gold mine.
@Chuck Nourrizzz at first, I felt a little off, because the feeling was new. But after a few more sessions, I felt amazing. Like euphoric and calm in the same time. I had really really bad anxiety, but this technique helped me a lot. Again, you do need to tackle your anxiety and find the root cause of it. But this is a tool to help you get there, like a walking stick if you will.
@@raulito213 I just did this feel weird my chest my breathing wants to hold it self. And the feeling of heavyness on my chest is weird.
@@MysteriesTruth yep, it is a bit weird and scary at first. I had a weird tingling sensation as well. It has something to do with co2 levels and oxygen levels in the blood. Nothing to worry about, only good can come out of this, trust me. But follow the instructions as said in the video and you will be fine.
@@raulito213 Yes, after i got up i was with alot of anxiety. And i get pannick attacks. But i will keep doing it. Thank you.
@@MysteriesTruth did you watched his very first video where he explains how to breathe properly and how to do this technique?
Woke up with a bit of a headache this AM. Did a breathing session followed by ice cold shower. Headache gone! Total exhilaration that lasted well past 2pm. I don't know what it's like to suffer chronic headaches or migraines; never had a migraine. But all I can say is try this! You've got nothing to lose. It's free medicine. And if it works, well...
I'm on a long road of recovery from drug abuse. I decided to fully commit to the wim hof method. Cold showers, this breathing exercise. Those two things are so freaking powerful, its unbelievable almost. I feel like I'm vibrating by the end of the breathing rounds. The first time I did it, I had a HUGE smile on my face. I love you WIM!
Keep going Alex!! ✌️👍 We're in this together
9 months in recovery. You're not not alone friend.
I live alone my neighbours always harass me so I’m going to try this. I always fly into panic when I’m being harassed so I hope this helps
@@DenisZenASMR Oh man, I'd fly into panic also if I were being harassed! Gosh that's awful. Home should always be a place that feels safe. I hope this helps too.
Very moving comment thank you
After recovering from COVID my lungs never were the same. I struggled to exercise because I always felt out of breath. This was something new to me since I’ve been an athlete all my life. After just 1 week of doing Wim Hof, I was able to run 1.5 miles as if I had been running for months. Thank you for this 🙏
like seriously! wow thanks for sharing
Amazing
This is so great. It helps all of us to remember that our bodies can heal. Power to you!
same! when i heard about permanent tissue damage i didnt really believe it, but its no joke! i have chronic migraines now too, but this helps.
Great! It helped me too: to get enough oxygen during the heaviest covid-19 days, I needed it every 3 hours, but what a relief! Helped indeed with a good recovery after.
Last week I was in a very dark place. Constant tension in my whole body, trouble breathing, heart failing, insomnia, depressed. After one week of your method I feel young again! I rode my bike for 30 minutes today with an intensity I haven't had in many years. My future no longer seems dark, but open and free from doubt. Thanks is not enough, for your method has saved my life. Bless you Wim!!!
Good for you Luke, keep on going!
That is great Luke!You can do it!👏😀
My breath is much longer. I don't know how to make this short of a breath.
How wonderful. I'm happy for you, and you make me feel so hopeful!
So happy for you. How many times did you practice this breathing exercise in a day?
I have been trying this for about a year now. It has improved my breathing, health, emotions and my body itself. This is amazing. Thanks Wim Hof
After doing this exercise and reading these comments I started crying and laugh uncontrollably. I suffered from anxiety, depression and thoughts of suicide my whole life, and for the first time in my life I just found peace with that. THANK YOU WIM, YOU TRUELY GAVE ME AN UNDISCRIBABLE GIFT
Me too... I've not told anyone. I'm still crying

The cold showers are amazing; especially after hard workouts. Just overcome the "fear". Enjoy your life.
I have PTSD this is helping me so much to become more aware of my body, along with the cold showers 🚿 It is helping me with the PTSD symptoms. Thank you so much Wim hoff
See update in comments..❣.
Wim saved my life a few months ago, I choked while eating...a super natural calm descended over me and I heard Wims calming voice telling me to let the body do what the body does, you are doing great....I sat there calmly and peacefully with no air when suddenly the food dislodged itself and went down. Today he is saving my life again...I have found myself suddenly homeless for the first time in my life, and I restarted returning to the breath...I get fearful and anxious everyday, but Wims breathwork reminds me that I am safe in this moment and there is hope. Thank you Wim, I literally owe you my life..❤

So that day has a special significance for us.
This has been such a blessing for me! 20 years of SSRI use and brain fog, psychosis when I got off in Nov 2022 and a year and a half of trying other antidepressants and bezos that caused painful and even suicidal ideation toward the end. On one of my worst days, I had this thought to look up ice baths - as I had heard of them before - and went home, filled the tub with cold water and ice and painfully got in. It has been trial and error, but eventually, I just chopped a hole through the ice in my pool and went right in. Now the ice is out, I am taking cold showers and looking at getting a freezer. The WHM has been a gift from God.
I have Parkinson's and have been doing Wim Hof breathing excersises for 2 months. I have noticed a definite improvement in most aspects of my condition. Thank you Wim!

Feeling calmer each day. Situations don’t bother me as much as they used to. Once per day is all I need to feel more at peace
I'm just a few days in, maybe 5 day with cold shower finish and 3rd day of breathing. This morning I did 15 "leaned over" pushups against the edge of the table after I did the breathing exercise. I'm 73, just starting, and yeasterday I could only do 3 of these easy, old lady pushups! I'm born and raised in the 50s in San Antonio, Texas, in a heat wave and a drought. I now live in Northern Colorado, and I've suffered with the cold for 36 years here. I'm committed to getting more comfortable here and also to getting stronger. I've had three concussions since 2015, and they really changed a lot. I'm tired of being tired, weak, and cold. Thanks for finding me, Wim Hof!!

I lost my Dad in March. I’ve been a mess the past week; no focus, no motivation, no passion. I’ve had this video book marked for the past couple of weeks and I’ve just been putting this off. I just watched it for the first time and I broke down crying at the last release of breath. After a solid 15 minutes of the deepest crying I’ve had since I watched my Dad take his last breath, I felt a weight I didn’t know I was carrying lift from my shoulders. Thank you. Im getting the app and will be doing this again tomorrow.

Watched a wim hof this or that video before this gave me a lot of joy. I've been away from breathwork for awhile, my addictions and depression were taking precedence. Today instead of smoking first thing in the morning I did this video, it was surprisingly easy and I feel more satisfied. Praying I can replace all my old bad habits with ones that make me thrive. So much love to Wim Hof.
It's never easy, but good work for having the intention to change
Keep going good

I've never done anything like this and cannot typically hold my breath for more than 20 seconds.. that being said, this was my first time and I cannot believe I made it 90 seconds! Not sure why but immediately after this exercise I had an emotional release and now I just feel... clear, light and calm. Definitely making this a regular thing. Thank you!

1.Bhastrika
2.Anuloma viloma
3. Kumbhaka pranayama
The above 3 , if done every day for 30 mins then you don't need any other meditation
I also had a complete nervous breakdown about 5 months ago it was the most horrible scary thing that's ever happened to me I thought I was lost forever. Thankfully it's mostly behind me now but it left me with elevated general anxiety that kind of fluctuates in intensity but is always there, I'm learning techniques to reduce it and hopefully completely recover from it, it's a huge relief once you find things that work for you and start feeling better, it's a light at the end of the tunnel and you know that you can and will find your way out. Hope you're feeling better 🙏❤️

Directly after 2 weeks of this exercise and the showering, i can feel the change allready. I'm more calm, less stressed, more feeling then thinking and I'm more in the moment. In the now, which is life. Being focused in the moment helps me with the anxiety and stress, but it also helped me with my diabetes type 1. After these couple weeks, I can feel the difference, and it really has a impact on my moods and glucose level. Thanks wim, everytime! Everyday! All the luck and power to everybody!

Lol once you start doing it . It's quite addictive. I have to thank the young man at work . And especially now this person said it's helping thier diabetis. I'll stick with it. I have two months at work then I'm off for the summer .more time to work on me and be free
Wim, and everyone, when I wake up in the middle of the night gripped in panic, fear, rage, and the bottomless hurt underneath it, I come to this beginner's video. I cant tell you how deeply I appreciate how much this helps, when nothing else will. Thank you for this healing. After I do this I can acknowledge my own feelings and give myself the unconditional love. Thank you. I could not do it from the place of immense hurt and pain and you are showing a way out of that. I can't thank you enough and thank you to all here 💗🌈
Im so glad I found your comment, I've never found an actual person who also wakes up gripped in a panic attack
And make cold shower 🤜
Years ago I was living above Wilshire Boulevard near MacArthur Park. One night I woke up after 1 a.m. and I felt really upset, sensing an ominous presence all around. I looked out the window to the street below, bathed in the yellow-orange lights of the sodium-vapor bulbs. Things looked ghastly, like in a horror movie. I remembered the pranayama course I took in San Francisco and began a systematic deep breathing technique, concentrating on the sensation of air coming into and leaving the lungs. In a short time I felt enormously better, no longer feeling vulnerable in a dangerous situation. My heart rate dropped, my relaxation response kicked in and I calmly fell asleep. I am convinced that we can all benefit from learning to breathe to activate our higher levels of mental and physical health. Thank you to Wim Hof for his helpful videos and programs.
i hear you,,,panic attacks wake me too, with a huge flush of heat.....
🥰❤️
I’ve realized over the last few years just how bad I am breathing. I’m always anxious and breath shallowly. Even this was hard for me but I’m going to stick with it and get better. I got this.
You got this!
Same here
I notice i habitually forget to breathe as well as breathe really shallow with a tense diaphragm.... I need this practice!
Also read and listen to oxygen advantage by Patrick McKeown

Mom of 4. This breathing video has helped me SO much for the last 2 weeks. Thank you with all my heart for what you do 🙏🏼
Mom of 7 here and I wish I had known about this when my kids were young. Have a blessed day!!!
4 kids ouch, must be stressful
I am doing for 2 months. I was lazy, had weak will power. Would not take bath if there was no hot water for days.
At the age of 78 I am completely changed ,metamorphosis has happened. Taking bath with cold water three times. Started with few seconds. Now I can take 5 to 10 minutes. My determination is strong now. If yoshimori can have Nobel prize for autophagy by intermittent fasting killing sick cells, why not you.
You have changed so many.
My thanks will be nothing in compare to your contribution in my life. I adore you.
That’s so great. Keep it up!!!
Woooow ! It's amazing.. I'm scared of cold water so much ... it's my biggest challenge I want to make
@@annazawistowska2429 Aniu, ja zaczalem od chlodnych, az nauczylem sie odczuwac przyjemnisc z nich. Reguluj sobie temp wody podczas prysznicu na chlodniejsza i wszystko stopniowo ;))
@@amjan cześć ! Wooow are you Polish? :) Zrobiłam tak, ale po oddychaniu i po zimnym prysznicu, tego samego dnia sie rozchorowałam hahaaa :( . Może zimno nie jest dla mnie? :(
@@annazawistowska2429 Taa, jestem pąlisz. Zatem zimno jest jeszcze bardziej dla Ciebie! Stopniowo i tylko, gdy jesteś zdrowa. Ja po chłodnej wodzie zawsze kończę gorącą, aby organizm dogrzać. Zaczalem tak w kratke ze 2 miesiace temu i jeszcze do zimnej nie dochodze.
Was this emotional for anyone else? God damn. My body was tingling so I felt so spiritual when he said it was alright. Thank You
I just got happy, but that's probably the surplus of oxygen
Second time in
Feeling a sense of calm and happiness
Yeah, emotional for me too. Body was tingling too, and felt warm and peaceful. Stay blessed
@@mattiyogi1018 i just knew this 3 days algo also, it will be better.
Let your ego go fam, like Bruce Lee said empty your mind.
When he says its OK, or you're doing fantastic ... feels SO good! I'm aware I dont usually "absorb" compliments, affirmations, or encouragements.
Like when he says "fully in" it sounds like "ooly'n"
There's nothing wrong with being open to recieve encouragement (:
Me too, I just love his voice, it is so soothing and loving, just like some dad who's sweet and protective!
Практикую метод Вима с начала 2024 года, уменьшились сердечные боли, а благодаря приёму холодного душа по утрам, ни разу не заболела простудными заболеваниями за весь этот период. Благодарю Вас! Всем здоровья и мира!!!
2 1/2 years sober & have been wavering recentlý. These breathing techniques have reset my focus & calmed the chatter in my mind. Thank you Wim. 🙏
Keep it up Mark! I celebrated 10 years in October and I hope you get to feel what I felt that day. One day at a time my friend!
Keep it up! You've got this!
I don't know if you already do this but, try and get out of the AA mindset of, "I'll always be an alcoholic/addict/gambler". I found that it held me back to think that way, that it was very negative. That's the past, you were that thing, but you no longer are. If you can become someone that is an alcoholic, then you can become someone that isn't an alcoholic.
All the literature talks about the battlefield of the mind and the power of the mind, and it's true, that 1st drink starts with a thought, so, for me anyway, it helped to get out of that way of thinking, that I'd always be an addict, because I'm not. My Pastor calls that way of thinking "white knuckle sobriety", which, I think, describes it perfectly.
I know I can't ever drink or take drugs again, but I'm not an addict anymore, because I'm not addicted to them anymore.
I have no idea if this will help or even be relatable to you but, I just felt I was supposed to share it with you.
Sending prayers your way!
Take care my friend!
Good lad mark keep at it brother!!
I'm four years this winter. Keep going and this will help! Sending ❤❤❤❤❤
7 years sober. This was actually triggering. Felt like doing whippets
Holding my breathe for 1:30 reminded me of when I had a near death experiance in the Jordanian desert . I chocked up on water and could not breathe. My body panicked and was desperate for air. Then my body resigned it self to dying. I heard people around me panic and cry but I was so distant and ditached from it all. surprising to me I was at ease and in complete blessful calm. That experiance focused my mind on a carnel fact. You are as good as your last breathe of air. Live life one moment at a time and be thankful. These exercises are very helpful at changing your body chemisty and cleansing you from the inside. Breathe yourself into a higher version of being.
Dear Wim I love your exercises , IAM 85 years old and I feel like 40 😍God Bless You!!!
Are you afraid that holding your breath with raise your blood pressure to dangerous levels?
I juat turned 30 and I feel 40!
@@albertgainsworth don't fear. Take back your body. Know that this is the kindest thing you can ever do for your body. Your body.🙏🏻🌞
@@gpower9129 if it can be dangerous then yes you should worry
You don’t look 85
Have been doing this consistently for 4 years; has helped my anxiety and IBS immensely. God bless you Wim Hoff 🙏🏽
That’s fascinating! How has it helped your IBS?
I've been doing this exercise for the last few months via these videos... today in my video production business I had an absolute disaster where we lost a 4 days worth of client footage that was not re-shootable. Its never happened to me in 5 years of work, and I had no idea what to do.
I was in deep stress and decided I'd try doing a round of this. Once I had finished not only was I significantly calmer, but a solution to the problem came to me and everything worked out and solved.
This stuff works as far as I'm concerned.
I am 47. have been doing the breathing session for one month now. From the first day I started feeling better and have cut down massively on my tobbaco and weed usage after being helpless about it for years. But the most amazing effect is my period just returned after it stopped a year ago. I am shocked and can not believe this has happened. Thank You Wim . This is a life altering method. Thank you!!!
Amazing. Congratulation.
In one week I've released 15 years of stress and sadness............I'm healing both physically and mentaly, I'm so greatful, thank you Wim!
I actually managed to improve from 39 seconds of not breathing to 1 minute and a half. This is incredible, thank you so much.
Im confused of your mennt to hold your breathe or exhale and hold after each round?
@@tbrowniscool I think it's exhale and hold, you're not meant to breathe during the break.
@@SoUmThisIsMe Thanks! Will do that next time
Good job!🎉 Imagine what you'll be able to accomplish when you keep going!🤩
I am currently suffering with covid. I’m 17 years old and my dad is a huge fan. He showed me this breathing exercise and now I can’t stop doing it. Thank you for your kind heart, thank you for sharing this with the world. I feel so calm and free.
I hope you feel much better very soon 🏵️
Also hope you feel better very soon 😊
Did you feel like it helped recover quicker
Best part of it is that you started very young
Get well soon dear
I love how he says “it’s good stuff” at the end. Love this guy! I’m going to make this a daily practice, no more excuses!
Does your promise include ice baths or cold showers?
I am with you!! I hope you are still at it everyday 3 months later! :)
I have been battling depression for 8 years now due to my parents being divorced and fighting all the time. This has helped me break through depression when times are tough. Thank you Wim hof for everything you do.
depression due to parental divorce ? lol
Brace yourself for adulthood then 🤣
@@peterbach1126 Be careful about laughing at someone else's depression. Depression can happen to anyone, at any age.
That's great! Hope you're still doing well! ✌
@@peterbach1126 u have too much of an ego that is filled with ignorance . Can u face that fact ?
Its been about 8 years for me too.
This is magical. I finally did this breathing session correctly and entered a deep state of relaxation and bliss. Absolutely fantastic!
I’ve never commented on a TH-cam video but this video truly gave me relief from anxiety that has plagued me for years. I can’t express how grateful I am to wim hoff for and for all the other lovely people in the comments 😌
Amen. I've had anxiety too. Just started this path and I will continue. I used to do cold baths n showers ppl thought I was crazy but it made me feel alive. It's time for us to feel alive again with the breathe of God.
Fionn Dale: I know, You are Ibrahamovic. Why are You trying to cheat?
That is not nice
Heeyy will you sujest what time you practice this exercise
I'm 6 weeks now into the wim hof method. I'm incomplete paraglegia. This has given me my life back. Ended up with severe depression and dependant on opiods. For once I now feel as though life is getting better. Light at the end of the tunnel. This is the only thing I've done that is different
Wishing you the best!
I used to be depressed, I'm doing better now, stay positive
Halleluyah! Combine this with fasting and prayer and you will be a new man. A superman!👍🙏💪🇺🇸
@@TCBforCHRIST u mentioned fasting their, what does this involve or what
I wish you the best! To health and healing!
This is seriously life changing!! Ever since I could remember I suffered from anxiety, panic attacks needing benzos & now I am free!! To anyone reading this, please try this. Your anxiety will say you can’t do it, but remember that YOU are in control - you’ve nothing to lose & everything to gain!!! Thank you, Whim, I am eternally grateful to you!!! 🙏🏻💜
how often do you do the exercises daily?
@@mrangel3678 Twice a day minimum :)
Can you tell your situation before and after, like some specific examples, if you don't mind?
Apologies for the delay -haven’t been on YT til now (I’ve dl this video lol) What kind of specifics would you like..? If you mean dis-ease wise, I suffered with anxiety, gad, depression, insomnia, etc, ever since I was a child, was diagnosed with cptsd 5 yrs ago. I’ve been on all the meds & treatments you can think off! Now, there are bad days, but definitely nowhere near as severe as it was. I also now meditate, do grounding, (it’s been scientifically proven to work) watch what I ‘feed’ myself (food, words, movies/tv, music, surroundings) do affirmations, journaling, as it definitely influences my moods. It may all sound odd; I was a pessimistic skeptic so I didn’t believe it myself, but.. I had nothing to lose & everything to gain! :) Whim’s breathing method gives me a natural high..you just feel so energised & refreshed! Dunno if that was what you wanted to know, if you didn’t, let me know! x
Nice! You have also been doing the cold showers?
Much needed at 5am before heading into a 12hr workday. Many blessings 💙
Makes me feel hopeful knowing there are people in the world like you that genuinely care without an alternative motive. God Bless You
I had a just, sublime moment of peace today while listening to this, running through this exercise. I'm a little lost in life right now. I feel like I've wasted so much time, taken so much for granted. I've been horribly depressed and anxious this last year, I've been unable to afford my medication since my insurance ran out, and I'm just overwhelmed by the feelings I've been having. Today, if even for a moment, I'm crying, I'm truly at such peace and I can't help myself. Thank you Wim. I will continue to do this, and hopefully I can find a little bit of that peace more often.
This is incredible, reduces my stress massively. I start every day with a guided meditation, wim hof breathing and get up whilst listening to eckhart tolle, RSD, motivational stuff and then listen to new music in a cold shower then do exercise. Don't check my phone or emails. Always a great start to the day.
Damn,this sounds like an AMAZING way to start your day! I am working towards a similar start. How did you go about it? What did you start with and how did you gradually incorporate it all? ANd how long did it take?
Which guided meditation do you find helpful?
Hey, TH-cam or apps for meditation. I do 5-10 mins meditation first thing whilst still half asleep, into Wim Hof, throw on the audio like eckhart or RSD etc whilst getting up until I'm working basically. Blast music in the cold shower then back to audio once I'm out the shower. Make my bed before leaving my room. You've already achieved loads this way before even starting your day properly. akes about 40 mins, then exercise is separate throughout the day. Morning routines are underrated and highly recommend, good luck! :-)
@@nicholasanderson9019 who is RSD?
I swear after my first day of doing this, I felt a massive reduction in my stress level. I felt so relaxed for an hour or so.
Stopped the breathing exercises for almost a year, going through a very stressful time right now and you are who I’ve turned too. Excellent feeling after finishing this. Thank you. ❤
It’s so amazing to know we have a tool we can rely on. Wishing you all bests!
This is , wonderful! I am 75 and in pretty good shape but I was missing something,. After practizing this for a month or so I know what was missing-the fire in me, the feeling of being alive in my body!
I love his warmth and genuine kindness. Bless you Wim Hof ! We are blessed to have you in these times!
The onus is on you to share this wisdom, which is much older than Wim, with your fellow old people
@@pigspigs76 Thank you! And I do wherever I find the curiosity- to young of age and to aged young people. And yes it is age old knowledge that Wim Hof has developped for the West. He is a warrior and I am grateful to have found him. Be well!💜
This never gets old. And it's crazy (in the best way) how much Wim Hoff helps people, right where they are at, in all the places they are. This is your moment, you who are reading this. The beginning of your new beginning. 💓💓💓
I love this technique. I am able to “drift off” from the guidance at a certain point & hold my breathe peacefully for up to 3 mins, and disclaimer; I have first stage emphysema & chronic bronchitis, and my lungs are often inflamed day to day, I say that to say, the power of mediation & deep breathing is attainable for anyone! We all have this unlimited power within us! Align with source & you will never be led in fear! 💗💗💗💗 I love all. Namaste. 🧘🏻♀️🙏🏽💗
wow impressive!
How wonderful to hear Goddess Rising. I have asthma - am close to 70 - still need to work - have been doing this for 4 days now and am so intrigued at the results...baby steps but good steps
Hey, I’ve had same symptoms. I healed myself with Intervall fasting 18:6. a lot of curcuma, pepper ginger, garlic, lemon water and cold showers healed me. And of course a lot of breathing with Wim 😊 lots of love
@@sumorgify I’m in the same boat but I’m 54...really crippling asthma! Tonight I felt I would be going into the ER....but I found Wim’s vids and I’m feeling transformed by this!
I feel so overwhelmed with gratitude! Breath is so precious...I feel that this method is changing my life!
@@janiss3700 hello i have lung problems and taking herb tea to help ,could you tell me the amounts that helped you please.As i struggle to get passed 1 minute thanks Marc
This technique is the best one I've ever found. I'm in recovery from addiction and struggle with a lot of mental health stuff; this has helped me tremendously through my process. Thank you Wim Hof!! To everyone here, I wish you all peace, love, and good vibes 🌞🫶🏻
I have been doing this for about 2 months now and this is the first time I got through the last 1:30! Not bad for a 50 year old smoker wooo!
I feel great, thank you Wim!
nice job
Proud of you dude! Just started doing this myself I’m a young smoker but I recently quit trying to get my lungs back in shape!
@@Armondsworld Good luck!
That’s awesome!
Now you should try shrooms
What a guy that Wim Hof. Changed my life in only one day. Should be awarded some prizes and medals. A giant statue of him in his shorts at the top of every mountain is a good start.
Nice one.
let me know when u build one ;)
So true . I thank the young man who Introduce me to this
