I quit weed just over 3 weeks ago, after being a regular and heavy user of it for 13 years. I've been meditating regularly for 5 years and a recent meditation brought me to the realization that it's time to move on. This video just further cements that realization. Thank you, Wim!
People think it's totally innocent. And it mostly is, especially when compared to most other "drugs". But for real bro, good on you. My little brother did the same 5+ yrs ago, he laughs now and says it's not a bad plant. It told me to quit while I was high. Reminded me of your story a bit. Their's a sayin among heavy psychedelic user's. They say, "when you get the message, hang up the phone." It may not be dangerous but it can cancel out your dreams. It depends on the person and that person being honest with their self.(?2 words or 1, hyphen...?)✌
@@MJ-ix7wm the same thing happened to me, I used to smoke weed pretty much all day everyday (except for while I’m at work etc.) then one day it told me it’s time to stop
But weed is not perfect, it also has drawbacks and negative side effects. Naming one of those side effects is not necessarily demonizing it, is just stating the obvious.
@@carlosparra8976 no one is saying weed is perfect carlos but the fact of the matter is it has been demonized for decades when we really have little scientific info on the effects it has on our bodies because of wealthy folks lobbying the government for their own good. Weed isn't bad for you if used properly. Wanna know how to best educate the people on proper use? Being open and honest about what weed does and doesn't do rather than using propaganda talking points like it makes you a lazy loser. So I appreciate Wims approach of giving a better alternative because being anti doesn't work and it never has for anything. Banning something doesn't solve problems. You can't run from things forever. Wims approach takes the situation head on with a better solution. I'm sure this is how he approaches everything in life
@@krunkformula I dont completely agree with some of your points. Sometimes people dont know what the heck is good or bad for them. Look at tobacco smokers, obese people or drug abusers. They cant control or regulate themselves, so governments have to ban some things or raise taxes on others to stop people from hurting themselves. Now a new worldwide regulation on vapers is surely coming, because they are proving to be tremendously negative for your health and yet people are using them more and more. Sometimes banning stuff is the only way to stop people from hurting themselves, because these people scream "governments should not interfere with my personal choices" but at the same time they cant seem to exercise their own personal responsibility. Who ends up paying for surgeries and treatments and health costs related to these maladies? You and your taxes. I see your point on weed and lobbying and government campaigns to demonize something. Weed was terribly demonized for a long time when it is not as dangerous as they claimed it was.
@@carlosparra8976 all of the three things you used as examples are not very good to use. Lets start with tobacco. Tobacco became very popular because of reverse propaganda aka marketing which made people think it was much safer than it is. Research shows cigarette use amoung younger generations declining because we know tobacco sucks for you and there is no real benefit. Obviously some will always still do it, banned or not. That brings us to drug abusers, which is a terrible comparison because drugs are in the same boat as weed. Universally demonized with little real education. I think drugs would have less of an impact if we took a different approach rather than banning and demonizing because that is what creates the mystique around drugs which obviously create positive experiences because of the high. It confuses people. I'm not saying drugs are positive, but when one side is telling you they are bad bad bad then you see someone high having a great time and not having all the bad side effects that causes you to question all of the other stuff you heard about the substance. If we were more open and honest and worked more towards rehabilatation I think hard drug use would decline. As for obesity, same as tobacco. Government regulations have allowed corperations to sell us entirely unhealthy food and pass it off as ok for us. Obviously some go overboard with the food, but banning food would not stop that, as that sounds like a mental illness that would need to be dealt with in other ways. Wanna know why vapes are killing people? Because there are a shitload of blackmarket THC carts around that are fucking people up. Its not the legal products that are creating this situation. If people were more educated about whats in those things they would stay away and we wouldn't be having this issue like we are
@@carlosparra8976 your second sentence really says it all. People don't know what the heck is good or bad for them, you are completely right. But at the same time the government does a terrible job of getting people all of the information nessecary to make an educated decision. My argument is if the people were more educated on what was good and bad for them that would be a better approach rather than the government deciding what is good and bad for you and not giving you a good reason why said thing is good or bad.
Just went through withdrawals from heavy marijuana use of 15+ years. It has been a rough relationship, and even harder departing from it. The night sweats, stomach pain and not being able to eat or sleep right for weeks has made me lose more than 10lbs, but after the realization that it was my security blanket from the real world, numbing my thoughts and emotions for years, I’m ready to move forward and kick life in the balls. You’ve made me believe in myself again Wim. Forever grateful 🙏🏼
A lot of people subconsciously feel pressured to maintain a specific "favorite" thing. I love how his favorite is fluid and changes depending on the time and experience. He doesn't set society mediated limitations for himself. Many people could learn a lot from you, my friend.
How do you know what a lot of people feel? Isn't that just perception bias? Sure people can learn a lot from wim but they can learn from every person they meet. Positive or negative doesn't matter, you always learn. As severely handicapped person I always find it hilarious to see healthy people try to open their minds and be spiritual about everything, since the ones I have met do quite the opposite of what they claim. Being open minded to them seems to be focussing on the positive and ignore the negatives, which is the exact opposite of being open minded. The same goes to people always questioning everything that comes from big companies or governments, it's bias pure and simple. There are no society set limitations, only personal ones. Love reality and you won't need anything else XD
Wim, you have helped me so much. I walk to school and back everyday, about 12 km in the cold and I have been wearing less and less clothing and not getting sick and enjoying the walk instead of fearing it and suffering because of it.
Dear Wim, first of all thank you for shining like a Light in these troubling times of our humanity. I've began implementing the breathing exercises into my every day. I feel like I never have. I've healed with psychedelic medicines for the last four years, and these breathing exercises have now taught me how to heal on my own. The first time I tried to follow along with one of your videos I got to breath 25 of 30 and broke down as my spirit, heart, mind, and body opened. I wept strongly for I knew I'd just been taught how to have full access to my physiology, and energy. I could feel it. The crucial integration of psychedelic experiences has been completed with these exercises. I'm so thankful. I very much would like to connect with you on deeper levels. Until then, thank you again. I Love you, my brother.
Wimm. I love you sir. Your teaching has been a major contribution to my recovery from chronic fatigue which has lifted me out of a mental rutt. You've helped to change my life ireversibly. THANKS AGAIN. All my love to you and all your followers. Keep breathing. No shivering.
@@erikbaskin3679 I smoke everyday from times to times and never got addicted, it would actually be hard for me to get addicted, after a few weeks of smoking daily I just get sick of it and have to rest for months, I get sick of being easily tired and lazy and slow, the first days after quitting weed are always kinda weird, you've to get used to normal reality again and still feel some residual effects, but a a week and a half later you are pretty much like before you started. Basically if you are addicted to weed then you should be really depressed and not wanting to do absolutely anything and smoke just to get dizzy and relaxed, for long enough so then living normally would be almost impossible to comeback to. But if you are like me and smoke becuase you feel like it and have it perfectly under control there is no chance to get addicted to it.
What Wim talks about - going to his fear. It's very common CBT therapy (cognitive behavior therapy) - the only type of therapy that has been scientifically proven to CURE anxiety and panic disorders and one of the key exercises of getting over fear (anxiety/panic) is exposure therapy - exposing yourself to thing you're afraid of or avoid based on fear. And to abandon things that soothe your fear - maybe you wear HR watch to make you don't have heart attack, or sleep with weighted blanket for anxiety, or maybe you check again and again your doors are locked. In neuroscience Dr. Huberman from Stanford was able to prove the same - facing your fears releases certain brain chemicals that can help treat mental illness. What it does it shows your body in its state of fear that it is in fact NOT dying while it's thinking it is about to, that conditioning eventually gets rids of your brain panicking over nothing! You become conditioned to fear less because most fear is just our brains going cray-cray.
Hi Anastasia, with respect CBT has been pushed as a panacea purely due to how they record results..it makes for easy pie charts that science likes. To say it's the ONLY therapy that is scientifically proven to heal disordered patents is limited as it's the only one that's had heaps of funding thrown at it! Equally with exposure therapy, this is not a one size fits all as your words suggest. Please be aware of how gaslighting this can be for those that don't jive with these types of support, essentially you're supporting the idea that if it doesn't work, it's the clients that is at fault not the type of support or even the therapist ....highly, highly dangerous and damaging for those that have embodied trauma and require far more nuanced support. Peace ☮️
@@SenorCheez Incorrect, the person has a trauma associated with specific setting or experience, it's important to rewire in form of safety, education is a key part of it. If do it wrong you could further traumatize the person. You can't blame the people for it either, it's just a funny way our brain wires trauma, for those people their brain literally goes into life or death mode, heartrate and blood pressure rises because their body is literally getting physically ready to run for their lives (freeze, flight, fight mode; hormones start to pump into your muscles, more oxygen, etc) because the brain rewired those experiences as life vs death and it can't tell apart you about to be eaten by a bear vs a panic attack. People who have anxiety and panic disorders are actually really strong people, their brain literally faces equivalent to near death experience. Unfortunately their brain has been required wrong and has to be wired back the right way through both exposure but in sense of safety.
@@anastasiastallcop8963 I really don't wanna read all that, you seem like a very smart person nothing against you I'm just lazy. Btw I have panic attacks and anxiety my comment was in a kinda joking manner. I didn't mean to offend, sorry if I did.
With weed I got to a point where I could not imagine life being as enjoyable as it could be without weed. It was always experience + weed that brought any fulfilment. The best thing that ever happened to be was getting a good job that requires random drug testing regularly. I realised weed was a way to put distance between my spirit and my body. Now I am happier than I have been. I do more and get more out of life. I regret the time I lost thinking weed was beneficial to me. I was so boring!
I agree. For me personally i have cut down vastly and smoke occasionally on the weekends. I have had amazing expereiences on cannabis and i do belive it helps you to think in different ways and it can help with creativity. But there comes a point where you do not need it anymore for these things to happen natrually within us. Thats my opinion anyway, but yea totally agree it shouldnt ever get to the point where its taking over your life or you feel like you need it to have a good time. It should be used as a occasional tool until you find ways to produce the same effects without it. :)
@@daniosan84 yep absoloutely. I dont have an addictive personallity so im lucky in that respect, and have been able to control the dosing. But as you say not everyone can do that unfortunately.
@@marcsix8989 cut out tobbaco if ur rolling with that and use a herbal alternative, this was the main thing that helped and also i think it was just that id been smoking almost everyday for so long that i was just getting bored of weed to be honest and enjoyed taking a break here and there from it. The breaks got more regular and now i just smoke it on the weekends when im off work and i can go without it. So yea, try taking small breaks from it along with smoking pure bud or replacing tobbaco with a herbal alternative (real leaf or rasberry and marshmallow leaves are what i use) and that should help.
Thanks Wim for your technick. I stopped taking drugs, my breakup was tied up and I'm addressing my problems now and not running away from them. I just wanted to say thank you. You're world class and have great energy.
"Get high on your own supply!" Brilliant, Wim, thanks for that gem. I've held that position regarding any substance use - and lived by it! - for years, but this quote nails it!
Getting high on your own supply? Wow the thing is that every one of us with addiction problems can get high of life get high by belief in one's ability to release the dopamine serotonin endorphins just by thought and breath work is amazing and i worked the method for a week now starting breath work and cold showers. I can honestly say Wim Hoff knows his stuff! Bless you Wim for sharing your experience the and the right way to live. Everyone wants to be fit healthy and happy and you teaching myself on how to be the best version of me! Again thank you from the bottom of my precious life
Man I love u wim! So gutted I had to cancel my trip to meet you in Iceland due to needing a back operation I hope to meet you next year once I’m able to fly again, take care my friend and keep spreading the love and knowledge
Hola Wim desde Argentina soy jose; Estoy Practicando tus metodos de respiracion hace tres días y empiezo a notar hermosos cambios hasta en la estructura corporal, ni hablar de lo Mental es muy bueno sigue ayudando haci me da esperanzas... Saludos...
Wim Hof Method is changing my life! Thank you. With breathing and cold showers I can feel a depth to myself I've not felt before. I can feel the energy coursing through me and heightened senses. It's amazing and I can't wait for the rest of my life because of what I know. This method can change the world. LOVE!!
So do I have FEAR? NO! I prepare and go to it! I love this man so much. Thank You Wim, I am so grateful for helping me and all the people you help with your WHM. I hope you know about the power of God's grace as well. Rom. 3.21-28
Why exactly are you laughing. Look it up for yourself. Max weber, the german sociologist analysed areas where Protestants, the main Religion in the netherlands, lived. Weber showed a connection between protestants and better working capitalism. Because they all tried to earn more money and also tried to spend less money for unnecessary comfort. Maybe thats the background why especially a guy from the netherlands created this breathing method combined with cold showers. Because too much comfort is Bad for us in the end
@@gargarcomedy I have a very good Dutch friend, for 20 years. He always brings me beer and chocolates when he visits. Very amazing guy. Of course, I also treat him.
Your such an amazing intelligence man . Such a beautiful human being on the inside as well as the outside . Your skin looks so healthy . Much love take care
thank you very much for not denigrating the plant of life. This is the first video of you that I watch and I will continue. Cannabis has saved my life, my nights, my days and allows me not to suffer from the agitation of others. So I only respect people who respect the plant themselves, even if they don't want to fly away with it.
I used to smoke basically all day everyday, for years that was how I dealt with anxiety/ depression etc. As you can imagine it didnt work well for long, and eventually led into even worse stuff. Since starting the Wim Hof method, and other wellness habits, i no longer have the urge to smoke, and thats just one of the benefits ive experienced, and its only been 5 days, this dude really is changing lives. Love you Wim!!!
I like very much the way you explain the favourite exercise. It resonates with my truth. And again, thank you so much Wim, your presence and your method improved even more the quality of myself and subsequently of my life. Warms and sunny greetings from Greece!
Fear yes fear no ? No method gvn - here is one: fear is friend that always says" what if", talk to it, thank it and let go, deep breathing pranayama...
Dear Wim Hof, When I first try your WH breathing technique, the effect and experience are so great, I could feel my body tingling, my brain oxygenated, my ear ringing, and my hearing heightened. But now the effect is gradually decreases. I used to feel the effect after only 2 session, but now I need to do more than 5 session or more to get the same effect. Is it normal? Thank you. #AskWim
yes it is normal, your body just get used to it. You will have the same physiological effect than before you just absorb it differently. I recommend you do meditation which is much more giving. With meditation you have the mind and the breathing and i do feel way more relaxed after meditating. Just get used to meditation it is really hard in the beginning it takes a while to be good at.
Oh, so it isn't just me 😅 that's good to know. I never really minded the tingling going away I was just glad I could take a good breath. Meditation is very hard. I think I do it alright, but is it better if I try to stay still and not move my eyes while I follow the breath? Takes time i guess lol
I would think that your body is storing oxygen much better in the cells. So that's a good sign. What I would do and have been doing is trying to hold my breath longer at the end of the 30 breaths. Before you hold your breath breathe all the way out and then don't breathe in .....make it a little tougher. Then you know the oxygen saturated in your blood cells and body. Hope that helps ...good luck
I have accidentally found a way to get the same experience without breathe in & out 30 times. 1. Sit / lay (preferably) down, slow and deep full breathe 3 times 2. Take a full breath like a freediver who wants to go down, and hold 3. Now this is kind of hard to explain.. Immediately after hold, push the air in your diaphragm with your ab muscle while still holding breath. It's like squeezing a balloon. So our lung will be more expanded this way. 4. You will feel the effect (tingling, shaking, light headed, etc) slowly increases, keep pushing until you feel it's enough. In my experience, I can only repeat the cycle twice.. Third time didn't give me the same effect anymore. Could anyone explain what happened? For those who wants to try it, please do it in your own risk.
This is awesome!! Thanks, Wim! Question: Do you have any intuition or knowledge on what bipolar disorder is? Why some of us experience it? And are there any body/mind/soul exercises you'd recommend to work with it, rather than against it?
Imagine if Wim Hof would had filmed everything he did with the “go pro” camera. We would be able to see the video where Wim Hof plays ukelele on the top of Mount Everest
Funny man-and yes, this shit works! LOL! Yes it does! More happiness is my first noticeable change in feelings since practicing his breathing technique. I’m a late bloomer and I am just excited to be breathing again. My Mom and husband died tragically and my Moms death lead me to over eating and I just stopped breathing and laid down. Deep depression set in. Life is good again thanks to my friends and Father and now I have met Wim and breathing again! love to all~!
crazy life decides to show me this 2 days into quitting weed. just wanna say thankyou iceman my friend your words are always wise and i appreciate the guidance you give more than words can express. Thankyou and may life treat you , your family and friends well 🙏💯
Say yes to "get high on your own supply". Thank you Hof for sharing this! I've been getting high my whole life by jus riding positive energy and choosing to be around folks who have it! When I say this to people they do not believe it's possible. . which for them then ...it is not (unless they might consider changing their thinking). Do you find this?
It's like a speedcourse jn consiousness. Where breathing and meditation takes you years, psychedelics take you there in an instant. You need a good tripmaster to guide you.
@@takieddinbalti6956 Nope. this is recorded in multiple studies done by psychiatrist for over 50 years. Psilocybine is used in a controlled manner to treat psychiatric illnesses (of course it goes way back in sjamanistic Rituals). A neuropsychologist and psychofarmacologist, Dr Kim C. Kuypers, has done studies with psychedelics microdosage, with patients that voluenteerd, that are suffering from clinical depression, ptsd, addiction.. Her thesis came from studies done by Johnstad 2018, Fardiman & Korb 2019, Webb 2019 e.a. who have shown the positive effects of psychedelics. After one trip there is a positive effect on cognitive processes in the brain, physical improvement (motivation) and also the feeling of relieve from suïcidal tendencies. Pseudo intellect you say.. looks like you need some education on the matter.
@@mahakala We have to unlearn things we learned from society and our environment in order to be fully in present with a free mind. If you are interested in this listen to the great Jiddu Krishnamurti, Alan Watts or Joe Dispenza (he explains scientifically how we live in the past). But in fact nobody can tell you how to do it, you have to observe your mind and find out by yourself. Being happy is a state of mind.
Some grate Yogi ones said, “If you should do any yoga pose, I would suggest head-standing, the king of yoga poses.” I do it every morning. I’m new to the Wim Hof method and I’m on my forth day of breathing exercise 3 rounds a day with the app and feeling grate, Thank you Wim❣️

I love weed, but you can have too much of a good thing, and it does have its drawbacks. Once a week is good for me.
Giggitygoo once a week is an addiction already
@@erikbaskin3679 not really
@@erikbaskin3679 I smoke everyday from times to times and never got addicted, it would actually be hard for me to get addicted, after a few weeks of smoking daily I just get sick of it and have to rest for months, I get sick of being easily tired and lazy and slow, the first days after quitting weed are always kinda weird, you've to get used to normal reality again and still feel some residual effects, but a a week and a half later you are pretty much like before you started. Basically if you are addicted to weed then you should be really depressed and not wanting to do absolutely anything and smoke just to get dizzy and relaxed, for long enough so then living normally would be almost impossible to comeback to. But if you are like me and smoke becuase you feel like it and have it perfectly under control there is no chance to get addicted to it.
Once a day for me works best, one toke in the morning syncs my body and sets me up for the rest of the day
@@erikbaskin3679 Cannabis is not physically addictive, need to update your 80's knowledge
What Wim talks about - going to his fear. It's very common CBT therapy (cognitive behavior therapy) - the only type of therapy that has been scientifically proven to CURE anxiety and panic disorders and one of the key exercises of getting over fear (anxiety/panic) is exposure therapy - exposing yourself to thing you're afraid of or avoid based on fear. And to abandon things that soothe your fear - maybe you wear HR watch to make you don't have heart attack, or sleep with weighted blanket for anxiety, or maybe you check again and again your doors are locked. In neuroscience Dr. Huberman from Stanford was able to prove the same - facing your fears releases certain brain chemicals that can help treat mental illness. What it does it shows your body in its state of fear that it is in fact NOT dying while it's thinking it is about to, that conditioning eventually gets rids of your brain panicking over nothing! You become conditioned to fear less because most fear is just our brains going cray-cray.
Hi Anastasia, with respect CBT has been pushed as a panacea purely due to how they record results..it makes for easy pie charts that science likes. To say it's the ONLY therapy that is scientifically proven to heal disordered patents is limited as it's the only one that's had heaps of funding thrown at it!
Equally with exposure therapy, this is not a one size fits all as your words suggest. Please be aware of how gaslighting this can be for those that don't jive with these types of support, essentially you're supporting the idea that if it doesn't work, it's the clients that is at fault not the type of support or even the therapist ....highly, highly dangerous and damaging for those that have embodied trauma and require far more nuanced support. Peace ☮️
So basically a nicer way to say suck it up it's not that bad. I think that's what some people (maybe me) need.
@@SenorCheez Incorrect, the person has a trauma associated with specific setting or experience, it's important to rewire in form of safety, education is a key part of it. If do it wrong you could further traumatize the person.
You can't blame the people for it either, it's just a funny way our brain wires trauma, for those people their brain literally goes into life or death mode, heartrate and blood pressure rises because their body is literally getting physically ready to run for their lives (freeze, flight, fight mode; hormones start to pump into your muscles, more oxygen, etc) because the brain rewired those experiences as life vs death and it can't tell apart you about to be eaten by a bear vs a panic attack.
People who have anxiety and panic disorders are actually really strong people, their brain literally faces equivalent to near death experience. Unfortunately their brain has been required wrong and has to be wired back the right way through both exposure but in sense of safety.
@@anastasiastallcop8963 I really don't wanna read all that, you seem like a very smart person nothing against you I'm just lazy. Btw I have panic attacks and anxiety my comment was in a kinda joking manner. I didn't mean to offend, sorry if I did.
@@SenorCheez No biggie at all my friend... and no offense either :D Also it's not you that's lazy, it's the nature of our brains :P
With weed I got to a point where I could not imagine life being as enjoyable as it could be without weed. It was always experience + weed that brought any fulfilment. The best thing that ever happened to be was getting a good job that requires random drug testing regularly. I realised weed was a way to put distance between my spirit and my body. Now I am happier than I have been. I do more and get more out of life. I regret the time I lost thinking weed was beneficial to me. I was so boring!
I agree. For me personally i have cut down vastly and smoke occasionally on the weekends. I have had amazing expereiences on cannabis and i do belive it helps you to think in different ways and it can help with creativity. But there comes a point where you do not need it anymore for these things to happen natrually within us. Thats my opinion anyway, but yea totally agree it shouldnt ever get to the point where its taking over your life or you feel like you need it to have a good time. It should be used as a occasional tool until you find ways to produce the same effects without it. :)
@@D413373R thats with every drug you use, even alcohol. just dose it, dont let it take over your life. but for some people its hard to set a limit.
@@daniosan84 yep absoloutely. I dont have an addictive personallity so im lucky in that respect, and have been able to control the dosing. But as you say not everyone can do that unfortunately.
What did you do to help yourself bro? I’m kinda in the same rut and trying to search for help.
@@marcsix8989 cut out tobbaco if ur rolling with that and use a herbal alternative, this was the main thing that helped and also i think it was just that id been smoking almost everyday for so long that i was just getting bored of weed to be honest and enjoyed taking a break here and there from it. The breaks got more regular and now i just smoke it on the weekends when im off work and i can go without it. So yea, try taking small breaks from it along with smoking pure bud or replacing tobbaco with a herbal alternative (real leaf or rasberry and marshmallow leaves are what i use) and that should help.
His extreme positivity makes him very charismatic
You're a wonderful man, Wim. We are all very fortunate to have you with us and inspiring us. Thank you.

"I prefer to get high on my own supply" is my favorite Wim Hof quote.
Thanks Wim for your technick. I stopped taking drugs, my breakup was tied up and I'm addressing my problems now and not running away from them.
I just wanted to say thank you. You're world class and have great energy.
"Whatever makes you feel great with your body....lifting up your body awareness"
Yes.
"Get high on your own supply!" Brilliant, Wim, thanks for that gem. I've held that position regarding any substance use - and lived by it! - for years, but this quote nails it!
"Whatever makes you feel great about your body awareness, lifting your body awareness, that's your pose for that moment."
Good stuff
God i love Wim Hof, no moral judgement, no bullshit, juste a loving happy man sharing his knowledge
Getting high on your own supply? Wow the thing is that every one of us with addiction problems can get high of life get high by belief in one's ability to release the dopamine serotonin endorphins just by thought and breath work is amazing and i worked the method for a week now starting breath work and cold showers. I can honestly say Wim Hoff knows his stuff! Bless you Wim for sharing your experience the and the right way to live. Everyone wants to be fit healthy and happy and you teaching myself on how to be the best version of me! Again thank you from the bottom of my precious life

It's amazing and I can't wait for the rest of my life because of what I know. This method can change the world. LOVE!!
I love you, Wim. You have the most amazing energy and I'm enchanted by the joy that you emanate

I keep laughing at " I'm Dutch, economics".lol
Too true....
Why exactly are you laughing. Look it up for yourself. Max weber, the german sociologist analysed areas where Protestants, the main Religion in the netherlands, lived. Weber showed a connection between protestants and better working capitalism. Because they all tried to earn more money and also tried to spend less money for unnecessary comfort.
Maybe thats the background why especially a guy from the netherlands created this breathing method combined with cold showers. Because too much comfort is Bad for us in the end

How Wim doesn't have 1 mil subscribers is beyond me.. God bless this guy!
Ha, well see his subscribers now - well over 2m!
thank you very much for not denigrating the plant of life.
This is the first video of you that I watch and I will continue.
Cannabis has saved my life, my nights, my days and allows me not to suffer from the agitation of others.
So I only respect people who respect the plant themselves, even if they don't want to fly away with it.
When he said 'bloody hell' just like an Englishman, damn that was funny 😆
I find it's possible to smoke/vape meditate and associate the feeling of being high with a mudra. Weed can be great for that in my opinion.
Lying on the ground is also my favorite yoga pose. 05:04
I used to smoke basically all day everyday, for years that was how I dealt with anxiety/ depression etc. As you can imagine it didnt work well for long, and eventually led into even worse stuff. Since starting the Wim Hof method, and other wellness habits, i no longer have the urge to smoke, and thats just one of the benefits ive experienced, and its only been 5 days, this dude really is changing lives. Love you Wim!!!
I like very much the way you explain the favourite exercise. It resonates with my truth.
And again, thank you so much Wim, your presence and your method improved even more the quality of myself and subsequently of my life.
Warms and sunny greetings from Greece!
i took the "get high on your own supply" literally.
I do still. I don't get it. Please explain :)

Dear Wim Hof,
When I first try your WH breathing technique, the effect and experience are so great, I could feel my body tingling, my brain oxygenated, my ear ringing, and my hearing heightened. But now the effect is gradually decreases. I used to feel the effect after only 2 session, but now I need to do more than 5 session or more to get the same effect. Is it normal?
Thank you.
#AskWim
yes it is normal, your body just get used to it. You will have the same physiological effect than before
you just absorb it differently. I recommend you do meditation which is much more giving. With meditation
you have the mind and the breathing and i do feel way more relaxed after meditating. Just get used to
meditation it is really hard in the beginning it takes a while to be good at.
Oh, so it isn't just me 😅 that's good to know. I never really minded the tingling going away I was just glad I could take a good breath.
Meditation is very hard. I think I do it alright, but is it better if I try to stay still and not move my eyes while I follow the breath?
Takes time i guess lol
I would think that your body is storing oxygen much better in the cells. So that's a good sign. What I would do and have been doing is trying to hold my breath longer at the end of the 30 breaths. Before you hold your breath breathe all the way out and then don't breathe in .....make it a little tougher. Then you know the oxygen saturated in your blood cells and body. Hope that helps ...good luck
I have accidentally found a way to get the same experience without breathe in & out 30 times.
1. Sit / lay (preferably) down, slow and deep full breathe 3 times
2. Take a full breath like a freediver who wants to go down, and hold
3. Now this is kind of hard to explain.. Immediately after hold, push the air in your diaphragm with your ab muscle while still holding breath. It's like squeezing a balloon. So our lung will be more expanded this way.
4. You will feel the effect (tingling, shaking, light headed, etc) slowly increases, keep pushing until you feel it's enough.
In my experience, I can only repeat the cycle twice.. Third time didn't give me the same effect anymore.
Could anyone explain what happened?
For those who wants to try it, please do it in your own risk.
@Mikko Kuusniemi yes, that's what I felt too.
My Hero! 2 years of cold showers THX YOU WIM!
5 months... Still difficult some days!! Haha. Good work
How do we do cold showers

This is awesome!! Thanks, Wim!
Question: Do you have any intuition or knowledge on what bipolar disorder is? Why some of us experience it? And are there any body/mind/soul exercises you'd recommend to work with it, rather than against it?
His breath work is a wonderful place to start

Grande Wim!! Genial simple y generoso!!👏👏

Funny man-and yes, this shit works! LOL! Yes it does! More happiness is my first noticeable change in feelings since practicing his breathing technique.
I’m a late bloomer and I am just excited to be breathing again.
My Mom and husband died tragically and my Moms death lead me to over eating and I just stopped breathing and laid down. Deep depression set in. Life is good again thanks to my friends and Father and now I have met Wim and breathing again!
love to all~!
Love You, Wim! I am always and every single time pleased by your advises and focuses, ideas, sharing! Just working on hardening with your app! Kiss

Say yes to "get high on your own supply". Thank you Hof for sharing this!
I've been getting high my whole life by jus riding positive energy and choosing to be around folks who have it!
When I say this to people they do not believe it's possible. . which for them then ...it is not (unless they might consider changing their thinking).

but I have to retrieve it.
Amazing message about fear I’ve implemented this method in my life and it has been wonderful thanks Wim.
What do you think about psychedelics? Magic mushrooms, ayahuasca, LSD, mescaline cacti...
Psychedelics are a beautiful potential medicine and Terence was such an awesome human being :)
Its medicine!
It's like a speedcourse jn consiousness. Where breathing and meditation takes you years, psychedelics take you there in an instant. You need a good tripmaster to guide you.
@@kkloetable basically steroids for pseudo intellectuality.
@@takieddinbalti6956 Nope. this is recorded in multiple studies done by psychiatrist for over 50 years. Psilocybine is used in a controlled manner to treat psychiatric illnesses (of course it goes way back in sjamanistic Rituals). A neuropsychologist and psychofarmacologist, Dr Kim C. Kuypers, has done studies with psychedelics microdosage, with patients that voluenteerd, that are suffering from clinical depression, ptsd, addiction.. Her thesis came from studies done by Johnstad 2018, Fardiman & Korb 2019, Webb 2019 e.a. who have shown the positive effects of psychedelics. After one trip there is a positive effect on cognitive processes in the brain, physical improvement (motivation) and also the feeling of relieve from suïcidal tendencies. Pseudo intellect you say.. looks like you need some education on the matter.
