I think it's clickbait to write "dark secret" because Wim has always been very open talking about his wife's story and how her death impacted him. This man is such a legend. True inspiration.
There's nothing dark nor secret about this story. It's simply Wim Hof, being open about his journey as he has always been... he is a real living legend!
Nothing dark? Attaching yourself to the dream of living your life with the love of your life and wonderful kids and grow old together. Only to hopelessly be around the crumbling partner who commits suicide leaving you and crushing those dreams. As well as leaving the kids. That doesn’t exactly sound like a pleasant story
They secret is abandoning his kids for 10 years after his wife’s death and that only someone who is suffering deeply will continue to push the limits as far as Wim Hoff. Cold therapy and Yoga breathing are great, abandoning others people’s safety and well being to teach them how to push past discomfort is reckless and negligent.
What a complete animal. Anyone that truly has experienced cold knows how truly miserable, painful, and truly a testament of the human mind it is. You ain’t thinking about anything but quitting. This guy is truly a super hero. He is the embodiment of what the human mind and body can achieve.
@Fred Forbes so what if he's a bit scruffy, guys an inspiration. You're be a couch potato now, when you're 61 only record you'll have is how lazy and massively round you are
@Fred Forbes are you not also personally attacking him? You said “why he looks so bad”. It’s not kind to write that what you are saying is a personal attack is what you said about this man. If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all. If you have ever experienced true grief where it consumes you as often it does with Suicide it takes a toll on you in multiple ways including the aging process. The point is that’s rude for you to say, it was rude for the person to say to you as well but I think the point is this inspiring story is being shared and still what’s commented is something we really don’t have a a whole lot of control over. Just everyone needs to be nicer to each other it’s not a good feeling to see anything written or hear negative things like that. I’m sure if the man in the video by chance did read that it wouldn’t make him feel good.
Wim Hof changed my life. I was so lucky to spend a day training with him and then did a 10 day immersive training. Love him so much. And, happily for him he has been recently remarried and has another child.
That is the only motivational speaking that has ever made me cry. Amazing. He used to visit the park at 2am the same time his wife left her life. He sank under the ice to see if he could escape the overwhelming pain and sorrow just for a moment. Than he found a secret to heal many people around the world. He definitely isn't a snake oil salesman to put it lightly. Wow
Me too, I hv been following him, but didn't know that he lost his wife n all these 1st started becos he wanted to heal himself 😭... He is a gift to the world!
This exact same thing happened to me in March of 2022. It's the most unbelievable, unreal feeling to describe. The anger, sadness, and emptiness is something I'd never wish on anybody. Take care of your loved ones, try your best to understand them.
@Mother Algorithm Just know it never goes away. Feel as much as you possibly can, or else you'll instinctively ignore it. That's what I did, I left it in the back of my head. Don't do that. When everyone had moved on, I was just then feeling it.. do exactly what you want to do and also reach out to people you feel might be having those same emotions, you'll be surprised what it does
@Creatine Sandwich Wim's Catholic mother foretold that he would become a missionary. She didn't know he would be a missionary in the way he is right now, impacting millions of people's health (Wim's own story). Beautiful how history goes on to evolve.
People in high positions measure goals in life in external matter such as status, money and fame. People like Wim measure goals in life as internal matter, personal gain, control of the mind, they are on the quest for true happiness. And this people, that is why the true and real intelligent under us are not filthy rich and are not leading companies and or countries.
This man changed my life with his technique, i was in deep depression with 2 panic attacks a day, could not live normal, i was in a dark loop which i could not escape anymore whatever i tried to do. You can beat depression if u master your deeper mind, that is true, it worked for me like a miracle.

I came out of ICU 5 days ago, never thaught i had anxiety but i was exhausted and crying over nothing.. i was so weak i could barely carey a spoon. I just only do it 3 days now but i feel like im stronger and got a goal in what otherwise the doctors would call depression and would give me medicine for

No. The secret is in letting go of mind, being with it, and sinking into the physical. When the mind rests, it connects to the physical, and all together a deeper world is experienced. Alignment 🙏 right here in what appears to be ordinary
@@anewagora Totally. When we let go of all, surrender, and accept ourselves and realities, and also open ourselves up to The Limitless Unknown we transform/die and are reborn into a new way of being. Breath is life, and connects us directly to the infinite energy all around us. What we are willing to open up to, and accept, and believe will determine what we percieve, and experience. Its all here and now, and we are manifestations of The One True Source. We create our own limitations and struggles, and how we react to these challenges in life is up to the individual. Evolution is happening through us all, as us all. We are All One. 🕉
@@MysticMonkeyMiracle maybe its both? Believing we are capable makes us take bolder choices, that we might otherwise not do, which will help us trancend our limitations aswell. Reminding ourselves of our successes and the positive experiences we hav had, will help motivatw us to keep moving. And, as you are saying, letting go and sinking into ourselves and accepting what comes up etc. is also a way of transforming ourselves. So to speak. Point is, maybe its not this or that, but both. Depending on what works for you and where you are in you life.
Yeah, in the beginning it is really a matter of surviving. By facing the in-out, as one, we are more able to transcend it if one wishes for the healing.
A great example of how the best things in life are born in the darkest places. I could never imagine Wim’s pain, but if it weren’t for this tragedy he wouldn’t be helping millions of people fight their own demons today. Thank you Wim ❤️
You cannot be great until you survive a breaking point. Wim is a freak of nature and an inspiration to those of us who have felt like we are capable of much less than what we truly are.
@@ACantu-de8pg With enough faith and enough control over your awareness litterally anything is possible 🙏 (Not a figure of speach) The nature of reality is unbound by conditions. This man is a testament of these mere facts.
"I was simply doing it as a discipline to get a hold of my agony" that hit me hard. I'm currently in agony. My mother is driving herself crazy over corona conspiracies. My studies are not going well at all as I'm simply not able to sit myself down and study. I don't sleep well nor eat. I'm also heartbroken. I've resorted to bathing in a cold lake here in germany for the past 2 days. It's not freezing cold right now but I can definitely feel what Wim is describing. You simply let go of all grief and pain while submerged. It's an amazing experience and I'm looking forward to doing it next winter when the water temperature reaches below 5°C.
It’s crazy how cold water helps. My gf committed suicide, and somehow I was drawn to the cold. Started by sitting outside in the winter, eventually I was diving in glacial rivers. It feels really weird seeing this story.
I remember when I first saw Wim on TV best part of 20 years ago and TV hosts, audiences etc would mock and laugh at him thinking he was a weirdo and a mad man. Well who's laughing now! He is a legend and no matter what people threw at him he took it on the chin and continued on his quest to help people. His whole passion is to help people and show them what they are capable of. Thank you Wim, I think you're amazing and I never once laughed at you, you inspired me. I use different cold water techniques because of what I've seen you do and it's made my life soook much better! He's truly brilliant, don't knock him.
Forget "inspirational speakers" Wim has something no one else has. He has found what it is to be human. Forget success, or what it means to be successful, sometimes you need to be broken in order to find out what you care about most.
I once had a friend Wim, who was just like you. But like the love of your life, so was he and he hanged himself. Shocking. He then came to say goodbye in my dream and his look told me that he was completely okay. What a beautiful story Wim, even though it is about the deepest and most painful experience. Beautiful and an inspiration to see how you transmute it.
He was never focused on becoming famous. He was focused on the agony within and the process of going into deep dark. He was meditating with the immense suffering, the hollowness of what cannot be undone. Being completely aligned and focused on that experience right in the present. Everything else that happens outside of that is just the ripple effect.
Started cold showers for two min after my hot showers January 2021 and haven’t been as depressed since then. I still do it everyday and don’t expect to ever stop. They really help on the days that I’m thinking too much. It’s a good interruption and brings me into the present moment. And it makes me mentally stronger to face other uncomfortable things in life. I love Wim.
This man is the closest thing I have to a Father. I love Wim Hof dearly. My heart breaks for his losses. I am so proud of him. His courage, his positivity, his dedication, his ability to pull out from the darkness. He taught me there is hope no matter what. I love this man more than he'll ever know. This man is you, he is me. Wim Hof is who we should all be. And we all can be. 😉 Within 3 weeks of breathing I understood his power. As an asthmatic, I saw first hand where he was coming from & where he was going. This man showed the world that we can beat anything just by one breath at a time
@@RivanaQiyanaEUW Sure! 1.Stay thin. Being overweight causes instant problems/Inflammation w Asthma. 2.Low Carb Diet. 3.Sauna One meal a day instead of 3 small ones. Any type of fasting will lower Inflammation dramatically. Almost all issues in the body are caused from food. I dont recommend a keto diet for long term but it detroys any allergies or asthma Good luck! Stay positive, and be good to yourself
@@peteyb5150 thank you so much:) ill start by cutting weight and Change my meals, i already do sauna and cold showers:), ill test the low carb diet too
I have been doing his most basic breathing techniques for about 30 days. I must say that it has become the most favorite part of my day. Yesterday, on the golf course, I did deep breathing before every shot and putt and I've never played in such a relaxed state. I shot the same score as normal, but I could feel how, with more focus and intensity, the breathing techniques could help me play better. I will say also that I have noticed that my cardio vascular endurance is up without having to run or do high intensity training. I know how to breathe now and my diaphragm has gotten much stronger. I recommend everyone give his techniques a try. It has become a daily spiritual/mental/physical cleanse and rejuvenation exercise and I've not tried anything that is comparable in either effect or satisfaction.
I've been doing ice plunges for a year after watching his videos. I love plunging in the morning... it makes me a happier more energized person during the day and I believe a better human to those around me. Thanks Wim.
I can relate. Seattle, march 1993. Deep depression. Got addicted to pseudoephedrine 90 mg + 600 mg caffeine daily, and for 6 months ran/jogged 5+ hours mostly at night. Surpassed all limits. 4 months ago i encountered wim hof method. I use breathing and cold showers daily. Cold showers bring freedom and power. They are painful at first. But after several minutes they are also leading to laughter. Wim misses his wife. Perhaps she has given him this motivation.
As soon as I’m in the cold shoulder I’m laughing, I can’t help myself it’s just an involuntary reaction. The wave of positivity it brings is really surprising, it sounds ridiculous but it’s very real
I have so much admiration for this man and his breathing techniques, I’ve been doing his breathing and cold showers for only 2 months and I am already starting to see big changes in my life
In his grief he found a way to manage and move forward.He has shared his vision and method with the world. He’s a true healer and the most remarkable man.I wish there were more Wim Hofs in the world, he’s worth a thousand politicians, they cannot even compare.
His story deeply touches my heart. Such a sad and painful experience he went through......but he is allowing it to be used for so much good to help many others.💙
His work has helped me come back from heart surgery, diabetes and anemia to be able to really walk and fell almost normal again...Wim is an inspiration and guiding light. But what a terrible tragedy to have to bear...
Wim, you could not help her. But you have helped me, and yourself. When we are suffering, mentally and physically, we are drawn to the cold water. 3 years ago I went in, and I go in twice a day now. Thanks Wim
He can"t help his wife.. But he can help million of us.. Include me.. Thankyou Mr Wim Hof.. your breathing method save me from stressful of Hipoxia cause covid19 infection.. I can't imagine if i don't find these breathing tehnique.. Once again thankyou Mr Wim Hof.. 😇
"It's a black hole within yourself." He said it so well. When he talked about how the cold makes your "emotions stop" before, I knew he had been through a time in his life when he needed that release. It's the strangest feeling to find your soulmate and then lose them.
Im 61 ...i lost a lot in my life. Lost one of my daughters. Lost love of my life ...my wife left me.. Im lonely on this huge Planet.. Only Im and two my kids... Keep exercising every day.. Friends ? Relatevs ?Girl ftiend? No Im a lonely man... I love Wim Hoff breathing stuff... Life is practically over.. 10 -20 years....History...
Nikolei, you are never alone because God is watching you. He wants you to beg Him for help. Because we human can't do much except when He gives us the willpower to do it. Seak guidance and help from Him. He is near when you call Him.
The way he tells his story, the way he talks, the way you feel every emotions he has while he is preaching this beautiful tale of how the human body and mind is unbreakable. When one thinks he's lost everything, comes back up with pain inside but strength so powerful is tames it and so much more than what was lost in the heart and mind. Truly a beautiful inspiring story.
im crying. I want to thank you Wim, i feel so warm and alive, fragile and tender. I love you all and i believe we can all take care of one another. It is so hard to stay sometimes, watching this video and listening to him reminds me that there is love. That i have love to give. And love to receive
I have admired this mans courage and determination for a few years now since i heard of him. I had no idea until this point about the personal pain he and his children have had to face. The man is a 1 man army and the poster boy for Stoicism. Much respect Wim :]
If you go swimming in the cold please stay near the shore. I took a little risk of swimming to deep, and suddenly my mind went blank and felt like i was about to pass out i had to really collect myself to get back to the shore, it was a scarry moment luckily i made it back. I was alone so maybe take someone with you to keep an eye on you.
same here, i swam like 60 meters total...in cold water ... at the return my arms and legs where starting to vanish..blood was going all to the core...kept my head out of the water....felt panic and barely made it...not fun experience!!!
My father also took his own life. My deepest love and compassion to your kids. We have to change this world . We have to change within. Go for it Wim !
Never knew this individual until today. This is beyond hard core. Losing someone who really made you feel alive and loved. Then turning his body into an unstoppable machine which allowed him to cope with the loss via the median of cold water. I know about endurance and that mental fortitude to keep going even when you want to stop. He is in a whole other realm. This has become his superpower.
I am so very sorry man.I have lost very important people as well......sends you on an unpredictable journey with ups and downs.My thoughts and prayers are with you.
It’s strange that the majority off people have a fear of death. But anyone who’s had a genuine near death experience loses the fear of death? Most express the tranquility and peacefulness of deaths front door. Beautiful story ❤️
I felt strongly I was going to die when I was a kid, earliest memories, and I was at peace with it. Never feared death. Only a sense of wonder. Love and rarity for this limited life that once felt like a prison 🙏😌
i had a near death experience, i was scared at first. but death i now accept with open arms. im not looking or waiting for it. but when the day comes i will be ready
What an absolutely insane man, bless him. Sharing his experience has touched my heart in so many ways. We can do anything if we learn how to use our own mind!!
Makes me cry. Hearing this beautiful testimony. He's an amazing man. . ❤ I been practicing this method for a month in my cold pond. It makes my life worth living . The cold makes me survive. My energy level has changed. ❤❤t
@@jacobsjungle5676 death is another level of existence, it's only a change composition and why are your here, seeming your lack compassion and need for actualization?
Wim, This speech inspired me to move on. One year ago I too lost the love of my life. I knew her since I was just a kid and fell in love with her but didn't had the guts to tell her. Then in the year 2012 I asked her to be with me and she said yes; She was everything for me till November 15 2020 she was hit by a car. That day was the day I lost everything I ever loved. I didn't want to live anymore and was confused. But now that I saw that I'm not alone in this world who had this pain I want to move on and to back control over my life and over what I want to do and over what I want. Thenk you Wim and I really mean this. I hope i can say this to you in real life one day here in Belgium or in the Netherlands.
You can feel the power he spreads...even through watching him on the small screen of my phone. What a incredible man this is....if all people where like him
I remember listening to this story many years ago. I remember feeling very sorry for Wim’s loss. I didn’t understand what it would be like. Now I’m back listening to wim because I lost my Step dad to suicide two weeks ago. In one moment your life changes forever. You’d give anything to have them back.
I remember when I first heard how he became the iceman... I wept. I openly wept. I was so excited to learn about cold, and breathing techniques, and was blind to the fact that it was love and pain that made it possible. It is incredible that he somehow made it back from the darkness and brought light into the world through his pain.
Wow, I have been practicing Wim Hof method for a while now but I didn't know about his backstory and how he became the man he is now. I was tearing up! It makes me want to keep going. Utterly fascinating. Great job with the edit and the music!
The way he talks about his Regina is amazing, i had no food and water for 8 days, but I could see over the Horizon about 100 miles away or more with my eyes what was on the horizon with the sun on an open sea with no land around
This mans secret... he doesn't give up ! No matter the pain he found his way out that allowed him to keep living 💯... this man is the world's teacher and we should all take note ! All of us ! Because we are all in this together ❤
This information really does everything to frame his mindset. I’ve been struggling to adjust to the cold shower habit, and I’m expecting that if I can manage to frame the exercise as a response to my own grief and emotional struggles it might make the difference
dear wim such deepness in him - which has allowed him to take extreme pain and turn it - his wife was a joy to see and how cruel she couldn't stay - the best of humans
A darkness came over me when I had my first daughter my husband saved my live and keeps me going everyday 💙 I try and try and push through I still have bad days but im encouraged to keep going
I love Wim's work so much and at the same time feel sad watching this. From spending hundreds of hours sitting with all kinds of people in deep emotional pain I know that so many will not be able to apply this method. But it does not mean they can not be helped. Because having loving presence of someone who is willing to sit with your pain is super powerful... maybe that's the thing... we are willing to do whatever only not to feel this pain, but often hearts that suffer so much yearn for this - for the presence, for being heard and held in their pain. And then, in this loving presence, all comes into peace and resolution.
Wim Hof is such an inspiration to me…The pain this man has gone through in his life before he liberated himself is beyond comprehention to me…I have so much respect to this man…keep making us healthy and happy Wim❤️
WimHof you are the most inspiring individual I have ever watched thru your achievements. My heart goes out to You, your Butterfly is always with you. Thank you for sharing this part of your life.

It's the exact opposite of what he saying by saying its a "dark secret".

There's nothing dark nor secret about this story. It's simply Wim Hof, being open about his journey as he has always been... he is a real living legend!

No. The secret is in letting go of mind, being with it, and sinking into the physical. When the mind rests, it connects to the physical, and all together a deeper world is experienced. Alignment 🙏 right here in what appears to be ordinary
@@anewagora Totally. When we let go of all, surrender, and accept ourselves and realities, and also open ourselves up to The Limitless Unknown we transform/die and are reborn into a new way of being. Breath is life, and connects us directly to the infinite energy all around us. What we are willing to open up to, and accept, and believe will determine what we percieve, and experience. Its all here and now, and we are manifestations of The One True Source. We create our own limitations and struggles, and how we react to these challenges in life is up to the individual. Evolution is happening through us all, as us all. We are All One. 🕉
@@MysticMonkeyMiracle maybe its both? Believing we are capable makes us take bolder choices, that we might otherwise not do, which will help us trancend our limitations aswell. Reminding ourselves of our successes and the positive experiences we hav had, will help motivatw us to keep moving.
And, as you are saying, letting go and sinking into ourselves and accepting what comes up etc. is also a way of transforming ourselves. So to speak. Point is, maybe its not this or that, but both. Depending on what works for you and where you are in you life.
His personal history makes me respect and love him even more.
What an extraordinary man.
I don't know this man personally, but I can't help loving him. He brings so much hope!
When u r already freezing cold on the inside, the coldness around u matter no longer!
Yeah, in the beginning it is really a matter of surviving. By facing the in-out, as one, we are more able to transcend it if one wishes for the healing.
A great example of how the best things in life are born in the darkest places. I could never imagine Wim’s pain, but if it weren’t for this tragedy he wouldn’t be helping millions of people fight their own demons today. Thank you Wim ❤️
You cannot be great until you survive a breaking point. Wim is a freak of nature and an inspiration to those of us who have felt like we are capable of much less than what we truly are.
He is everything but freak of the nature. He always points that out.
@@vladavasiljev he is a freak if modern society.
And he is a ohysichal specimen whatever he says
That is absolutely right. You can not be great until you survive a breaking point.

@@ACantu-de8pg With enough faith and enough control over your awareness litterally anything is possible 🙏 (Not a figure of speach) The nature of reality is unbound by conditions. This man is a testament of these mere facts.
"I was simply doing it as a discipline to get a hold of my agony" that hit me hard. I'm currently in agony. My mother is driving herself crazy over corona conspiracies. My studies are not going well at all as I'm simply not able to sit myself down and study. I don't sleep well nor eat. I'm also heartbroken. I've resorted to bathing in a cold lake here in germany for the past 2 days. It's not freezing cold right now but I can definitely feel what Wim is describing. You simply let go of all grief and pain while submerged. It's an amazing experience and I'm looking forward to doing it next winter when the water temperature reaches below 5°C.
Keep looking forward, Hans. 🥀💕
I cry for Wim. At the same time, he's been given an amazing gift. One he was kind enough to share with the world.
It’s crazy how cold water helps. My gf committed suicide, and somehow I was drawn to the cold. Started by sitting outside in the winter, eventually I was diving in glacial rivers. It feels really weird seeing this story.
Props to the diver that pulled wim out by the ankle
True
I remember when I first saw Wim on TV best part of 20 years ago and TV hosts, audiences etc would mock and laugh at him thinking he was a weirdo and a mad man. Well who's laughing now! He is a legend and no matter what people threw at him he took it on the chin and continued on his quest to help people. His whole passion is to help people and show them what they are capable of. Thank you Wim, I think you're amazing and I never once laughed at you, you inspired me. I use different cold water techniques because of what I've seen you do and it's made my life soook much better! He's truly brilliant, don't knock him.
Forget "inspirational speakers" Wim has something no one else has. He has found what it is to be human. Forget success, or what it means to be successful, sometimes you need to be broken in order to find out what you care about most.
I once had a friend Wim, who was just like you. But like the love of your life, so was he and he hanged himself. Shocking. He then came to say goodbye in my dream and his look told me that he was completely okay. What a beautiful story Wim, even though it is about the deepest and most painful experience. Beautiful and an inspiration to see how you transmute it.
He was never focused on becoming famous. He was focused on the agony within and the process of going into deep dark. He was meditating with the immense suffering, the hollowness of what cannot be undone. Being completely aligned and focused on that experience right in the present. Everything else that happens outside of that is just the ripple effect.
Beautiful writing
Great comment
If you aren't already a poet, I think you should be!
Started cold showers for two min after my hot showers January 2021 and haven’t been as depressed since then. I still do it everyday and don’t expect to ever stop. They really help on the days that I’m thinking too much. It’s a good interruption and brings me into the present moment. And it makes me mentally stronger to face other uncomfortable things in life. I love Wim.
This man is the closest thing I have to a Father. I love Wim Hof dearly. My heart breaks for his losses. I am so proud of him. His courage, his positivity, his dedication, his ability to pull out from the darkness. He taught me there is hope no matter what. I love this man more than he'll ever know. This man is you, he is me. Wim Hof is who we should all be. And we all can be. 😉
Within 3 weeks of breathing I understood his power. As an asthmatic, I saw first hand where he was coming from & where he was going. This man showed the world that we can beat anything just by one breath at a time
Thanks legion.That is beautifuly stated
Hey im also an asthmatic, i struggle during the breathing but I keep going, any advice?
@@RivanaQiyanaEUW Sure! 1.Stay thin.
Being overweight causes instant problems/Inflammation w Asthma.
2.Low Carb Diet.
3.Sauna
One meal a day instead of 3 small ones. Any type of fasting will lower Inflammation dramatically.
Almost all issues in the body are caused from food.
I dont recommend a keto diet for long term but it detroys any allergies or asthma
Good luck! Stay positive, and be good to yourself
@@peteyb5150 thank you so much:) ill start by cutting weight and Change my meals, i already do sauna and cold showers:), ill test the low carb diet too
@@peteyb5150 ill come back with results in a while bless u !
I have been doing his most basic breathing techniques for about 30 days. I must say that it has become the most favorite part of my day. Yesterday, on the golf course, I did deep breathing before every shot and putt and I've never played in such a relaxed state. I shot the same score as normal, but I could feel how, with more focus and intensity, the breathing techniques could help me play better. I will say also that I have noticed that my cardio vascular endurance is up without having to run or do high intensity training. I know how to breathe now and my diaphragm has gotten much stronger. I recommend everyone give his techniques a try. It has become a daily spiritual/mental/physical cleanse and rejuvenation exercise and I've not tried anything that is comparable in either effect or satisfaction.

Part 1 BEHIND 9.25.15
The story he tells of how he lost his wife really hurts me to my core.
Yeah hurts me too
Not just you my friend.
Me too I feel that pain deeply I suffer bi polor bpd and ptsd iv been their such a scary place to be I survived 2 over doses years ago
@@jasminejohnstone1803 Sorry for the straight-forward question in advance. Were you @bused as a child?
I've been doing ice plunges for a year after watching his videos.
I love plunging in the morning... it makes me a happier more energized person during the day and I believe a better human to those around me. Thanks Wim.
I can relate. Seattle, march 1993. Deep depression. Got addicted to pseudoephedrine 90 mg + 600 mg caffeine daily, and for 6 months ran/jogged 5+ hours mostly at night. Surpassed all limits.
4 months ago i encountered wim hof method. I use breathing and cold showers daily. Cold showers bring freedom and power. They are painful at first. But after several minutes they are also leading to laughter.
Wim misses his wife. Perhaps she has given him this motivation.
Yea Seattle will screw with your mind for sure. I’m here now and it’s like a parallel universe
600 mg caffeine,sugar and caffeine should be illegal.
@@jasonmaruszak812 why do you say that
@@jasonmaruszak812 I've heard this said more than once
As soon as I’m in the cold shoulder I’m laughing, I can’t help myself it’s just an involuntary reaction. The wave of positivity it brings is really surprising, it sounds ridiculous but it’s very real
I have so much admiration for this man and his breathing techniques, I’ve been doing his breathing and cold showers for only 2 months and I am already starting to see big changes in my life
In his grief he found a way to manage and move forward.He has shared his vision and method with the world. He’s a true healer and the most remarkable man.I wish there were more Wim Hofs in the world, he’s worth a thousand politicians, they cannot even compare.
His story deeply touches my heart. Such a sad and painful experience he went through......but he is allowing it to be used for so much good to help many others.💙
He's like a superhero who lost his love, then decided to overcome it
His work has helped me come back from heart surgery, diabetes and anemia to be able to really walk and fell almost normal again...Wim is an inspiration and guiding light. But what a terrible tragedy to have to bear...
The 1% who's reading this may all your dreams come true
I know what you mean... but any of the 1% who is reading this the opposite.
🧡
Thank you for the positivity!
Thank you , same to you
You make the world good again
Wim, you could not help her. But you have helped me, and yourself. When we are suffering, mentally and physically, we are drawn to the cold water. 3 years ago I went in, and I go in twice a day now. Thanks Wim
This mans a legend
This world need more Wim Hof.
👆👆My TH-cam channel name can help u out with shrooms,LSD,dmt, and other psychedelic stuffs
He can"t help his wife..
But he can help million of us..
Include me..
Thankyou Mr Wim Hof.. your breathing method save me from stressful of Hipoxia cause covid19 infection..
I can't imagine if i don't find these breathing tehnique..
Once again thankyou Mr Wim Hof.. 😇
"It's a black hole within yourself." He said it so well.
When he talked about how the cold makes your "emotions stop" before, I knew he had been through a time in his life when he needed that release.
It's the strangest feeling to find your soulmate and then lose them.
Im 61 ...i lost a lot in my life.
Lost one of my daughters.
Lost love of my life ...my wife left me..
Im lonely on this huge Planet..
Only Im and two my kids...
Keep exercising every day..
Friends ? Relatevs ?Girl ftiend?
No Im a lonely man...
I love Wim Hoff breathing stuff...
Life is practically over..
10 -20 years....History...
I'm so sorry for your pain and loss, dear Nikolai. I've also lost some loved ones and understand your heartache!
Greetings from Sunny South Africa🙏
It appears that you haven't lost yourself Nikolai. I appreciate your communication, and hope that the remaining years are kind to you.
Hold strong sir! Make sure to go out as well. There's a lot of stuff waiting oute there. Good luck 🙏
As long as you dont give up on god everything will be fine
Nikolei, you are never alone because God is watching you. He wants you to beg Him for help. Because we human can't do much except when He gives us the willpower to do it.
Seak guidance and help from Him. He is near when you call Him.
The way he tells his story, the way he talks, the way you feel every emotions he has while he is preaching this beautiful tale of how the human body and mind is unbreakable. When one thinks he's lost everything, comes back up with pain inside but strength so powerful is tames it and so much more than what was lost in the heart and mind. Truly a beautiful inspiring story.
Truly inspirational. Your grief has given you a tool to help so many others. Sincerely thank you Wim.
Thank you, Wim! You have changed my life, and based on your knowledge I will keep changing millions of people's lives. Love you❤️🙏
🙏🏻 I don’t know Wim Hof but I love him. Changed my life forever
See the love this man has for his wife , he has shaken the world for the better !
In the sadness of our suffering we can find within ourselves the greatest power to rise and overcome!! 💪🏾❤️💯
im crying.
I want to thank you Wim, i feel so warm and alive, fragile and tender. I love you all and i believe we can all take care of one another. It is so hard to stay sometimes, watching this video and listening to him reminds me that there is love. That i have love to give. And love to receive
I can listen to wim hof all day long that itself is a feel good to the brain. Thank you Mr wim hof
I have admired this mans courage and determination for a few years now since i heard of him.
I had no idea until this point about the personal pain he and his children have had to face.
The man is a 1 man army and the poster boy for Stoicism.
Much respect Wim :]
If you go swimming in the cold please stay near the shore. I took a little risk of swimming to deep, and suddenly my mind went blank and felt like i was about to pass out i had to really collect myself to get back to the shore, it was a scarry moment luckily i made it back. I was alone so maybe take someone with you to keep an eye on you.
same here, i swam like 60 meters total...in cold water ... at the return my arms and legs where starting to vanish..blood was going all to the core...kept my head out of the water....felt panic and barely made it...not fun experience!!!
@@criticalhistory2023 jep it's pretty scary luckily you made it back :)
Before your mind is getting empty, didn’t your arms become heavy? Didn’t you find it harder to move your arms before?
Thanks for the heads up
He had a group of people with him...alwsys take someone with you
My father also took his own life. My deepest love and compassion to your kids. We have to change this world . We have to change within. Go for it Wim !
Never knew this individual until today. This is beyond hard core. Losing someone who really made you feel alive and loved. Then turning his body into an unstoppable machine which allowed him to cope with the loss via the median of cold water. I know about endurance and that mental fortitude to keep going even when you want to stop. He is in a whole other realm. This has become his superpower.
I am so very sorry man.I have lost very important people as well......sends you on an unpredictable journey with ups and downs.My thoughts and prayers are with you.
It’s strange that the majority off people have a fear of death.
But anyone who’s had a genuine near death experience loses the fear of death?
Most express the tranquility and peacefulness of deaths front door.
Beautiful story ❤️
faxs
I felt strongly I was going to die when I was a kid, earliest memories, and I was at peace with it. Never feared death. Only a sense of wonder. Love and rarity for this limited life that once felt like a prison 🙏😌
Yeah your brain does everything in its power to calm you down to survive the longest, it releases a shitload of chemicals.
Pure adrenaline.
i had a near death experience, i was scared at first. but death i now accept with open arms. im not looking or waiting for it.
but when the day comes i will be ready
WIM,
Truly sorry for your loss, and elated for ALL who you are helping. Impressed and excited you are CHANGING THE MEDICAL WORLD!
What an absolutely insane man, bless him. Sharing his experience has touched my heart in so many ways. We can do anything if we learn how to use our own mind!!
Makes me cry. Hearing this beautiful testimony. He's an amazing man. . ❤ I been practicing this method for a month in my cold pond. It makes my life worth living . The cold makes me survive. My energy level has changed. ❤❤t
Thank you Wim. You changed my life. When the pain of your present life has become big enough its time for change.
I cried, and cried and then I cried. Thank you for resonating in me.
Amazing!!!!! The love he has for his wife. I’m sure she’s so proud of him.
Deep and Rare so beautiful
Didn't you listen, his wife is not proud she is dead. She whacked herself
@@jacobsjungle5676 lol
What was the reason of her suicide?

That ending is so powerful. Omg. The real power is within your gut, within your heart!
Wim, This speech inspired me to move on. One year ago I too lost the love of my life. I knew her since I was just a kid and fell in love with her but didn't had the guts to tell her. Then in the year 2012 I asked her to be with me and she said yes; She was everything for me till November 15 2020 she was hit by a car. That day was the day I lost everything I ever loved. I didn't want to live anymore and was confused. But now that I saw that I'm not alone in this world who had this pain I want to move on and to back control over my life and over what I want to do and over what I want. Thenk you Wim and I really mean this. I hope i can say this to you in real life one day here in Belgium or in the Netherlands.
You can feel the power he spreads...even through watching him on the small screen of my phone.
What a incredible man this is....if all people where like him
Lost my mother this way my father must’ve felt like Wim. I have great respect for his suffering. 🙏🏻
😔 Hugs. I'm sorry for your loss and pain.
I remember listening to this story many years ago. I remember feeling very sorry for Wim’s loss. I didn’t understand what it would be like. Now I’m back listening to wim because I lost my Step dad to suicide two weeks ago. In one moment your life changes forever. You’d give anything to have them back.
I remember when I first heard how he became the iceman... I wept. I openly wept. I was so excited to learn about cold, and breathing techniques, and was blind to the fact that it was love and pain that made it possible. It is incredible that he somehow made it back from the darkness and brought light into the world through his pain.
Danke!
Wow, I have been practicing Wim Hof method for a while now but I didn't know about his backstory and how he became the man he is now. I was tearing up! It makes me want to keep going. Utterly fascinating. Great job with the edit and the music!
The way he talks about his Regina is amazing, i had no food and water for 8 days, but I could see over the Horizon about 100 miles away or more with my eyes what was on the horizon with the sun on an open sea with no land around

He is down to earth, very energetic and inspirational person. It was very impactful meeting him & his method works! 🙏🏼

Don’t say the world has never given you anything. The universe has gifted us Wim. Just what we needed when we needed. Thank you.
This information really does everything to frame his mindset. I’ve been struggling to adjust to the cold shower habit, and I’m expecting that if I can manage to frame the exercise as a response to my own grief and emotional struggles it might make the difference
This was truly amazing !!! His guardian angel will always be there for him
I love him even more now! Such a powerful human and an inspiration
dear wim such deepness in him - which has allowed him to take extreme pain and turn it - his wife was a joy to see and how cruel she couldn't stay - the best of humans
A darkness came over me when I had my first daughter my husband saved my live and keeps me going everyday 💙 I try and try and push through I still have bad days but im encouraged to keep going
Please keep going. Thanks to your husband for being there for you.
There is a thing calle post partum depression, it happens to many women after childbirth.
"Never stop listening to your heart my brother"🔥❤️❤️
I love Wim's work so much and at the same time feel sad watching this. From spending hundreds of hours sitting with all kinds of people in deep emotional pain I know that so many will not be able to apply this method. But it does not mean they can not be helped. Because having loving presence of someone who is willing to sit with your pain is super powerful... maybe that's the thing... we are willing to do whatever only not to feel this pain, but often hearts that suffer so much yearn for this - for the presence, for being heard and held in their pain. And then, in this loving presence, all comes into peace and resolution.
Wim Hof is such an inspiration to me…The pain this man has gone through in his life before he liberated himself is beyond comprehention to me…I have so much respect to this man…keep making us healthy and happy Wim❤️
one of the most authentic beings in this dimension ❤
Only one word to describe this men. Hero!
WimHof you are the most inspiring individual I have ever watched thru your achievements. My heart goes out to You, your Butterfly is always with you. Thank you for sharing this part of your life.
Just did a 20 minute 1 degree Celsius ice bath pushing myself to the limit I can relate to wim and he has really inspired me to shoot for happiness and I have been making progress thank you!
