    I've been exposing myself increasingly to cold winter showers at the end of each shower. I'd gotten up to 2 minutes, but tonight I hit 10+. I lost track of time because I became super emotional. I stopped resisting the cold and something so deep in me was activated. I just cried, and had vivid flashbacks to swimming in the chilly Colorado River. Unreal. I can't wait to do these for the rest of my life. I crave ice submersion now. Skin is warm, the ice water feels so good, like emotional healing I need inside of me. No shivering or pain, only release and freedom. I found the way out just like wim did

    Thanks for the video Wim Hof!
    Three benefits not mentioned:
    1. Nasal breathing, due to the shape of the nasal cavity, helps send the air down to the bottom of the lungs which are bigger and connected to the parasympathetic system. Flex your nose like smelling a flower.
    2. Mouth breathing in dry climates will dry out your mouth and throat.
    3. Nasal breathing helps filter the air better to reduce the amount of dust, bacteria, viruses, etc which enter the body.

    Nasal breathing is better for several reasons:
    1. Facial structure
    2. The nasal system has mucous membranes and other components that are there to filter the air you breathe.
    3. Nitric oxide is produced by the body to help deliver oxygen to your extremities when you nasal breathe.

      More exhalation than inhalation = activates the parasympathetic nervous system which gives u relaxation amd calm

    11 things I've noticed in myself since starting wim hoff breathing and cold showers 6 months ago....
    1. I get up now at 615 no arguments with myself.
    2. I don't miss the breathing session in the morning or evening ever.
    3. I started to watch my diet to the point where I can't believe I don't want puddings and chocolate and eat super foods.
    4.i started yoga, again every morning without fail.
    5. I'm alert but relaxed.
    6. I'm calmer with myself and my kids.
    7. I'm more aware of my thoughts, my self awareness is increasing.
    8. I feel like I'm getting stronger everyday as opposed to getting weaker as I get older.
    9 I started taking vitamins
    10. I watch less TV, to the point of sometimes just sitting after a breathing session for a good time , just still.
    11. Im generally more disciplined, the other day I did 5 loads of washing in one day, wtf is going on!!!

I noticed I constantly start to have problems breathing after smoking nicotine, I was breathing shallow and didn't even realize how badly I have messed up my breathing. After a couple Wim Hoff breathing exercises I can FEEL all the air flowing into my body, I can breathe better and no longer feel like I am having chest convulsions from lack of breathe. I actually started giggling uncontrollably after I felt the air return to my lungs. Thank you Wim Hoff you are a life changer.

      Not really - no in addition to Wim also read Stig Severinsen who is a Swedish underwater swimming champion. After also 5 years of Pranayama I have never felt the need for mouth breathing. Nose breathing is the key in ALL Chinese martial arts.
      Its best to study Wim and an additional classical method Pranayama- Wim is also very very good at Pranayama without a doubt.
      Also Taoist breathing. Most of Internal arts - Nei Gong is about Nose breathing.

      Yep. That's, how breath is used in "Pranayama" - Exercises, also, - and that's very old vedic science!!!
      Mouth is fire/power. Nose both, but more "easy water" ... and there is one fact: especially, if u live in a city:
      The nose has a lot of "filtering qualities" for the incoming air. That's an important difference between nose n mouth - breathing! The most important thing is TO PRACTICE. After some time,
      all of u will be able, to get calm in a stress - situation, by just taking 3 breaths.... and that's the best anti - panic thing I know!!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️
      It just takes some time, of practice, so that your body gets used to react instantly when you take 3 deep, conscious breaths, imagining, with the outflow, that all the stress you feel, just disappears in clouds (or something else..).
      IT WORKS VERY WELL!!! Best wishes. Thanx to you, WIM! Be blessed! (you showed the "average science", that you can do things which seem impossible!!! A great job! BRAVO!

    I'm claustraphobic and the very idea of lockdown brought on a panic attack and was running wildly round the house. Then I began to rationalise. I'd heard that it was impossible to panic if correct breathing was practised. I forced myself to sit down and started breathing long, slow and deep (LSD) breaths through my nose. After about five minutes I was completely calm and after another two minutes I fell asleep. I was delighted and I promise you that proper breathing long, slow and deep through the nose will alleviate many mental health problems. But it has to be nasal!!

  • @didiermeynders
    @didiermeynders 2 года назад +4

    Regarding breathing during the day (not doing the Wim Hof breath), you always want to breath through the nose. As the mouth is designed to eat (and talk), as in preparing that what goes in (food) to the belly, its the first step in the digestion process. It makes sure when it arrives in the belly, the belly can digest it easier. The nose is made to breath, and prepares the air into the right conditions to be easily transferred from the lungs to the red blood cells, ready to transport through the body.
    A mistake I sometimes see is that people think that its ok to breath out through the mouth (when not applying the Wim Hof breath). The thing is that when you breath out through your mouth you lose more CO2 what then creates in imbalance. When there is too less CO2, you can breath as many oxygen as you want, it won't be transferred from the red blood cells to the cells and tissues that need the oxygen. CO2 also makes the blood vessels wider to make your heart pump less hard.

    YOUR "WIM HOF - breathing - METHOD" combines different skills of breathing. For me it is the best technique ever!!! Thank you, WIM. Your "system" really makes sense!!! (also the exposure to the cold/cold showers....).
    I always had problems, "to hold my breath" - but now, with your great method, I am able, to stay way longer n longer without breathing!!! Especially this part is very much like deep meditation... ("the time between", where you don't breath)! I just can recommend it for everyone - especially in times, where we need a strong immune - system!!! Let's do it!!!

      The end result of the Pranayama practices might be wide or wider. Alternate Nostril breathing(Nadi Shodhana) , cleaning breath, bellows breath (Bhastrika). So no throwing away Pranayama is not a good idea. Learning Wims method is excellent too. In Taoism one goal is to breath into the Dan Tien - the lower elixir field.

    I don't see a need to choose one or the other. During a breathing session, I usually do a breath through the nose, then one through the mouth. Sometimes two or three breaths with one or the other, then alternate. I do whatever feels right at that moment in time. It's also easy to control the amount of air coming in during a mouth breath. Just keep the opening of the mouth small.
