  • Опубликовано: 20 май 2024
  • This is a slower paced Wim Hof Method breathing exercise that starts with a 30 seconds hold building up to 90 seconds breath hold. Very suitable for beginners or anyone who prefers a more gentle guidance.
    !! Don't do the breathing exercises in a swimming pool, before going underwater, beneath the shower, or piloting any vehicle. Always practice sitting or lying down in a safe environment. Tinnitus symptoms may appear as a result of pushing too forcefully during the breathing exercise. If this happens, take a step back in your future practice, it’s important to increase gradually, not forcefully !!

Simply watch the bubble as it expands and contracts, and follow with your breath.

    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.

      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.

    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.💙

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.

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.

    Dear Wim Hof,
    I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, filled with both desperation and hope. For seven long months, I have been locked in a battle with the Epstein-Barr virus, feeling trapped in a cycle of relentless exhaustion and worry. Each day brings the fear that this illness might dig its claws deeper, leading me closer to ME or chronic fatigue syndrome.
    Your breathing techniques and life philosophy stand out as a beacon of hope amidst this darkness. I'm turning to you, believing that your wisdom and determination could offer me the guidance I need to find my way back to strength and health.
    Feeling alone and overwhelmed by this illness, I cling to the hope that your teachings might light the way toward recovery. Wim Hof, I humbly ask for your hand in this challenging journey, hoping for the support and advice that could lead me back to vitality.
    With sincere thanks and faith,
    Jonas from Norway

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.

    With severe COPD, I started out only being able to hold my breath for 15 seconds. After 2.5 months, now I can hold for 30 seconds
    Round 1) 30 + 15
    Round 2) 30 + 30 + 15
    Round 3) 30 + 30 + 30 + 15

      I'm in the same situation as you are!
      As someone who is just starting this today - I felt like I was going to hyperventilate on the 30 rapid successions of breathing in/out, rather quickly. Did you feel this at the beginning to? I wondered if it was my COPD, or if it may just be normal?? thx! 😵💫

    • @VonnieHendrex-gx8oc
      @VonnieHendrex-gx8oc 6 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, I did. This is my third month and I still only hold my breath for 30 seconds at a time in each Round. I don't care if I'm not able to hold for one minute. I did hold it for 45 seconds the other day and I thought my head was going to explode. So, just keep at it, do what you can, and you will be able to do a little more as you keep working on it.

      @@GunnWrights Hi, I just wanted to say that, especially the very first time I did this breathing, I also hyperventilated and it was scary because I did not know that that was a normal reaction. I somehow kept going, and was able to discover the good feeling of the breath hold part, and then, for me, the hyperventilation stopped after a few more sessions. Though I have, even in childhood, seemed to have less stamina than other people, I've not been diagnosed with a breathing condition.

      @@VonnieHendrex-gx8oc You know, there's another interview or recorded breathing session (can't remember which) with Wim where he really emphasizes how you absolutely should take a breath when you feel the need, that that doesn't mean anything "bad," and that trying to hang on for dear life is counterproductive. You seem to have realized that yourself, but one thing I wish about this video for beginners, is that he'd made that more clear. He does mention that "it's OK," in the second round, but I wish he'd more explicitly say, something like, "this is not about competition; take a breath whenever you need to; it won't take away from the benefits."

    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.

      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.

    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.

    I’ve gone through the process twice a few days apart. The first time I did it I had reflux for the next few hours and heightened anxiety, then it calmed and I felt better than I had in a while which prompted me to do it again this morning.
    This time after I finished, when I stood up I started gagging and threw up and have been randomly bursting out in tears for the last few hours and wanting to sleep.

    Fifth day - complete
    Remember. This isn’t a race to get it done the fastest. Pace yourself and go at your own time.

So holding breath with empty lungs brings better effect. Morover if we satiated our cells with oxygen before cery well. Its imple and genius. I am high 😁
