The clarity you get once you're finally calm is so unique .
Yes, that’s why i always say “react with your emotion but never become the emotion, those signals attract karma causing you to lose yourself” 👁️
@enlightenedwriter if u react with a certain emotion for example, anger, haven't you already become said emotion by getting angry?
Wim your saving my life. Your a scholar and a sage, good sir
You’re*
@@brandonyoung4910 *You’re
In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. He created humans too to have a relationship with Him. That's our purpose as humans that have a relationship with God. Sin, however, messed that up because it made us imperfect and imperfect creatures cannot have a relationship with a perfect and holy God. That's why we so oftentimes feel empty, unsatisfied and unaccomplished because we're not in relationship with the God we were created to be in a relationship with. But that's where Jesus comes in. Jesus is God's son and He came down to earth in human form to live the same life we do yet unlike us He never sinned. Jesus is perfect. Yet despite the fact He is perfect He died on the cross for our sins and sacrifice Himself for us. The punishment for our sins is death but because Jesus took that punishment for us if we put our faith in Him and receive Him as Lord and savior we can be reconciled to God and be restored to that relationship we were created to have. And we can be sure that Jesus is the Son of God because on the 3rd day God raised Him from the dead and in that He defeated death and the grave, proving that He can do the same for us if we put our faith in trust in Him. That's how you get to Heaven. That's how you become full in your heart. That's how you become reconciled to the God who created you.
Not your grammar is see though...

I love Wim's energy. He's like the perfect balance between a university professor and a supportive parent.
Thank you for teaching me to get out of the comfort zone Wim. Everyone has gotten so comfortable with their air conditioning and heat that we haven’t learned how to adapt to the environment. And you’ve proved that we can. It’s truly amazing 🙂
Aaah yes... THIS 🖖
I've just started. Keep yours fingers crossed for me. Love you Wim.
Wim says "don't force" --- but the only way I can ever bring myself to get in the ice bath is force. It never feels easy and force-less.
I think what Wim means is to know your limits. Instead of forcing yourself for 4 minutes for example, because someone (or your mind) told you to do so, keep the duration realistic and safe and start with 2 minutes, or 40 seconds etc.
I guess what he means by "force" is that we shouldn't try to go beyond our limit by staying so long into the water in order to adapt the vascular system so fast. I started mayself very slowly, step by step and my body is just perfect adapted to the new condition. ❤️
Try and stand up to it as you would defy a bully. Keep a straight posture, your head high, a calm breath and look straight at it. You brain will gradually understand that there is nothing to fear. All that overbreathing, stiffness and pain from the cold will disapear. If you go head down and breathing fast, you re sending the opposite signal.
I used to feel like I was fighting the cold, and then I realized it's just a transference of heat, when you get into a hot shower your skin prickles and then eventually you adjust to it and it feels good, when you get into cold water your skin prickles and then it begins to feel good, it really helps me to tell my mind that I'm not hot or I'm not cold but I'm just transferring Heat from one direction to another, then suffering goes away and just becomes a transference of temperature
@@philippemaltais731 love that advice! Thank you so much
"you want to stay in longer .. Hey, that's okay, but don't force" I love this guy .. calling out my crazy side that wants to always go farther 😂
After 1 minute my body doesn't even feel cold so I just stay in as long as I feel like... without dying
Having cold showers was a game changer for me even though I have an arrhythmia. I recommended to my family already 😅
Been doing the sauna followed up with a cold plunge almost every day for the past 6 months. I feel electric!
For the folks that don’t believe it helps, do it for at least 2 weeks and you’ll see.
@@maxcolegrove8630 I want to hear more about this. His book is well cited and it's working for me but I am open to hear about the negative stories too. Because most of the "skeptics" so far have been "yay science" types who never tried it themselves.
@@clevelandsavage ; I have never read a negative health experience until the one you are responding to. Most people hate the shock of the cold but I’ve been following Wim Hof for years & the above comment is a new one for me.
@@clevelandsavage there is empiric scientific studies from scandinavia showing sauna and cold plunge 60min sauna 10min cold in total a week is extremely good for ur health, both the heart, brain and hormone system
@@maxcolegrove8630 People here in Scandinavia do it all the time, No problem 🤷♂️
@@maxcolegrove8630 its possible you are just more prone to heart issues because of genetic or other factors. The cold just didn’t help it. Our bodies are complicated
Saved my life, less stressed, I sleep better and I'm just better, Wim you're a living legend
Mine too
I forced 15 minutes when I was having anxiety and palpitations problems. It was hard at first but I got up to 30 minutes because I put everything to this being the cure. It was definitely the main reason all of it stopped. I am so thankful I stumbled upon Wim Hof I would have had a long scary journey without Him. The breathing is incredible. The fact that breath work can calm the system is mind blowing it works I do it and my happiness is back I just feel so good when I breathe and cold plunge it's truly incredible Wim Hof is the man!
Such a helpful message. I appreciate your generosity & kindness. Thank you.
Just done my first cold 🥶 bath. Outside at night and just had a quick cold shower before getting in. I’ve been doing 5 mins cold showers morning and night most days for about two months. Set the timer to 11 minutes. Focused on my breathing and got in the metal bath. No problem. Sure it was cold but I knew after a couple of mins it would feel great, and it did. The time flew by. Took longer to warm up after getting out, so I had a hot cup of coffee. It’s really not as difficult as you think, just build yourself up to it. Take it steady and feel the benefit 👍
I agree with you. I don't have the means to do the ice bath yet but started off with a few seconds of cold showers then gave up. I've been doing it for one month now (consistently) and I can't believe that I'm now able to stand there for at least 5 minutes and just breath. It's become enjoyable and I look forward to it every morning. So proud of myself!
Thats great! How different is cold bath from shower?
@@theamalgamatedtheory next level cold, so I always have a gold shower first before getting into a cold bath.
Life saving information, I cannot thank you enough 🙏✨💖
I love this man, thank u so much for making the world better. Cold combined with breath work has improved my quality of life to better more than anything has ever before. I recommend this for everyone truly life changing stuff in a positive way. Great vibes for everyone!
Just finished my 1st ice bath now! Will add more ice and stay in for 10 min more next time. Thank you Wim!!
Wim you brought so much inspiration and good into so many lives. You should win some award!
I am Dutch on my paternal side going back as far as genealogy will take me. I love my 🥶🥶 cold 🛁. We Dutch are strong stock. ♥️ every time I get out of my cold 🛁 I feel healthier than when I got in. I have some very serious health problems with no answers at the moment, so thank you for keeping me motivated and on course Wim Hof. ♥️♥️♥️
Wim, your the best, thanks for being on this planet✌✌
I jump off the bed and get into cold shower every week from monday to friday, for 5 years now (of course some weeks I skip one or two days, sometimes 5 =D, but in the long run the important is to have consistency).
My tip for the ones that are starting is: don’t turn on the shower and stay there waiting for the right moment to jump in, because there won’t be any. Just go and let your emotions flow. Your body will find ways to adapt to this situation and over time this adaptation will get faster and faster. I would say that currently my adaptation takes approximately 10 seconds.
My tip is skip the showers and buy a cold plunge, way better and more precise. I started with showers and I’m now doing baths, never going back 🖤
I've been faithfully doing the (breathing) and 2 min cold shower last couple months. I think I can do the ice bath "therapy"...I like the 2 minute idea...a "small mountain" to climb, makes it do able thing ...
5 STARS!

This guy is incredible 👏 I love testing my physical and mental limits fitness goals 💪 and cold 🥶 baths finding new levels to urself is what life's about. 😀
Thanks, Wim😊two years into your program, and it has become my program. You Rock 🪨 🔥❤️
Good morning from Ca! It’s cardio time! Life is good!!
Sr. Hoff, usted me ha motivado y me ha dado herramientas muy útiles, ha mejorado mi vida, en todos los sentidos. Muchas Gracias Hermano 💪🏼❤️🔥
I’m a little old lady. Got the breathing down after a year. The cold is another matter. I’m very thin and from the tropics. I will be long dead before I get used to the cold🤣
Gradual steps, start with 10 seconds at the end of your regular shower then work your way up slowly. You can do it. I’m currently doing this method now and will add ten seconds every week until I’m at 5 minutes.
@@landonmarks way im starting. 30 seconds is where I started.. a fast countig 30 seconds.. LOL
Thank you. Cold therapy is changing my life for the better and the advice of Wim Hof is so grounded and helpful.
This guy looks great,. The skin of a teenager. The cold does work very well. I just started 6 months ago and it really helps. .I'm in Florida. So the 90 plus degrees everyday summer temperatures.... Even jumping in a 70 degree pool in the shade does help some,. 60 to 65 degrees even better. For 10 minutes
I love your wit, kindness and wisdom 👍😃
Thank you so much Wim Hof!! You are changing my life ❤🙏 💪🥶👍
The maximum time for an ice bath is 20 minutes. More than that might cause frostbite. After 20 minutes, the blood vessels constrict and the body experiences decreased circulation
Thank's Win... Love youu..
Wim, you're the one who inspired me to face the cold and overcome the mind in taking charge of it.
The cold is only in the mind that is what I was thought when I was younger as we had judo training outdoor in the winter.
When my judo teacher told me I'm freezing cause I'm thinking that it's cold but if I relax and stop thinking about it I won't feel it.
But you inspired me to actively challenge the cold and master it.
I thank you for much
Wim you are a blessing, hope to take a dip with you one day
Absolutely!!! Do not force!!! 🙏😊🙏
Nawww thank you
When I first arrived at the river I was standing there for about 10 minutes before I was able to get in and it really hurt I mean it was painful my whole body I'm onto my fourth day now I am able to get in even though it's colder immediately and climatise a lot quicker and I'm finding the swim absolutely refreshing I have shredded years of inflammation and laying on the waterfall letting it just flush my whole system out has been also delightful it was hard at first getting in but your training and your videos help me to persevere grateful has done wonders for me in my healing going to be doing it every day for a while it is nice to be up in there National Park haven't camped out for a long time thank you Mr wim hof 👍🙏🏕🖖😎💗🦸♀️🥳
Excelente Dr gracias por la información y
Love this guy, I’m doing it daily now and it’s getting really addicting.
Thank you very much mister Wim Hoff for thé good advice
Love that! Thanks 🙏🏼
Happy understanding!
Thank you. I am stated to see improvements in my whole body mind and spirit.
Could you make a video about the potential of going longer in the cold? The incredible transformation that takes place. Would love your insight on that, i've felt such incredible benefits from going longer
I feel great ! Thank you Wim!
Love the duck for a nice touch 🦆
Uhhhh thats it !i see my true in there 🙏thank you for being you out there 🙏❤️
Love you Wim!💓
GREAT THANK YOU WIM IT WORKS
Thanks!
Wim for President.
Suggestions never killed no one and I enjoyed it because my life is very different since I practice your methods it help me to live every day and I can understand why I don’t have to respond at everything that comes to me I loved it is like you said don’t force and the adaptation is going to be easier thank you very much mister Wim Hoff have a great day
I did cold water training consistently four winters in a row. I got up to nearly ten minutes in water so cold I had to bust in with a hammer. I trained at least once a day though sometimes did multiple sessions a day. All it does is temporarily give you an amazing high like no other along with some physical health benefits. As far as actually improving mental health, it doesn’t do jack shit. If you’re anything like me, when it comes time to talk to some chicks, do an interview or any other moment in life when you badly need to be rid of anxiety/neuroses, you’ll find that much to your dismay, all those cold therapy sessions have completely failed you in this regard. Same goes for the breath work. It is utterly useless as a tool for anxiety but can make you feel good temporarily when practiced in solitude. In conclusion, appreciate the WHM for what it is, a free and healthy way to get high. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by thinking it’s some life changing limitless pill like I did.
Nothing is a life changing limitless pill (maybe psychedelics in certian situations), the only way to deal with those types of anxieties is to go through them - talk to random girls without even thinking about it and see where it takes you
In retrospect some people who are really good in taking and social interactions would be scared to shit to go for 20 seconds in ice cold water, let alone 10minutes. You already have such a strong will power which in the long run is so much more important than leaving a good first impression :)
@@slash3r142 I’ve talked to more women than most married men have. It never gets any easier. I’ve tried all sorts of different approaches and the results are always zero or less. The more I learn about the human female species through interacting with them the more I grow to despise everything about them characteristically, not physically.
@@honkhonk5181 interesting where are you residing?
@@theamalgamatedtheory Midwestern USA
Thank you for sharing!
Would you do a podcast with Andrew huberman??
Huberman did mention Wim Hof in a couple of his lectures. 1 was about dopamine
@@bif53 more reason too, also he can talk about all the other scientists and groups he met, and say how it changed them.
Yeah this ain't war. Force this kinda sh*t without training your vascular system enough over time, and you end up like me, with nerve damage from frostbite.
Frostbite bites harder than fire in my opinion.
Nice one Wim 💚👍
Love you Win
Thank you Wim for answering the question I’ve been asking how long? At present I’m taking three minute cold showers prepping myself for the ice bath to come - the ice bath cometh! 🥶
THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR YOU ARE A SAVIOR TO MANY PEOPLE
Been trying out Wims methods every morning to help with nicotine withdrawal.
Does it help?
@@draganjancic5104 Not sure yet.
Here here,truth 100%,currently sea swimming, winter here,and love staying as long as I am happy. Swam with a 79 year old woman today.
Comecei a praticar o banho gelado a 2 anos atrás foi um bem em minha vida💪🏻
I really need to take a course on this to know where to draw the line. I was benefiting greatly for weeks but then I think I pushed it to far and caught a cold
I have been taking at least one cold shower EVERY day since January 1st... and the cold (being cold) is my GREATEST Fear... Face your Fears EVERYONE.. and DEFEAT them... and #PUSHYOURSELF😎
Modern day guru. ❤
Love u wim the winner.
Having my very very Frist cold shower today feeling great alrady ! wasn't easy to be honest .... Little by little. Thank you .
Thank youuu 💜💚
Thanks
Cool Wim! I didn't have a water thermometer when I put 2 5 pound bags of ice in my cold water filled bathtub a few weeks ago. Was up to my waist for like 2 and a half minutes and had heart submerged for like 15 seconds. Seemed like dangerous cold lol but on the other hand how cold do you think it was when it was probably 60 degrees Fahrenheit without ice? Last week I had a water thermometer and saw the cold water was 60 degrees Fahrenheit and I was in it for 30 minutes. Shivering quite a bit. I trained my mind quite a bit since my heart was submerged the whole time. Cheated "cheated" I guess not having arms submerged though so I could hold my cell phone and watch an amusing video 3 minutes-ish long to make the time go faster lol. I guess as long as heart is under it's still good, right?!
Eres una buena persona Wim hoff
THANKS WIM 💪🔱
Love you WIM 😍 💗 💓 💛 ♥️ 😘
What a legend!
Good advice
I badly need this
Never thought I needed to see an old man playing witha rubber duck in life
Thank you 🙏🏽🧡
Love you!💎🪷🥰
It’s crazy how you start to get warm after 5 min when focusing on breathing
My cold showers last anywhere from 10 to 15min. Been doing it for the last three months.
It's my 14th day with the 60 seconds for 60 days cold showers. I have my regular warm to hot shower and finish off by turning off the hot water and I'm left with the cold water. First day i really focused on my breathing and imagined i was jumping into a pool or the ocean. It helped. Gets easier. I'm feeling healthier too.
Awesome!!!
I tried taking a swim in the near 0 C° ocean yesterday for the first time. Felt like I might faint after 15 seconds. 2 minutes sounds like a lifetime.
Gracias Gracias Gracias hombre
🍧 Hielo Gracias Gracias Gracias ❣️🌍🌎
Great. Superb. How have we do this exercises. Is there any training classes conducted in chennai, India
Ice bears in my town (Bratislava) are saying you should stay at least 6minutes in the water for the benefits. But not everyday! Twice a week is optimal. And they are doing it 30 years even longer some of them.
Wimhoff, you look younger than you did 2 years ago!🎉
I agree but you have to be careful , get some tests first and go slowly.This temperature change can cause even fatal arrhythmias to people with heart issues ❤
Love you dear big brother
Don't force? Can you explain that a little. Getting into the cold is the hardest thing I have ever tried to do on a constant basis. I am always happy with I can muster the balls to do it but my god.... It's so 🥶
Knowledge 🙏
Allways motivation u❤❤❤
I come to the point that I feel the cold, but I'm not freezing. Not getting that super chock anymore turning off the heat, to cold. The coldest aren't the coldest, but cold enough. Also live in a very cold cabin. But some days I feel I need to be kind to my body.
Thanku
Wow 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Until Im sober🍻
I almost felt like I was having a heart attack and did this, but I'm still here so I guess it works
@wimhof1 can you do research for ice baths for people with Vascular EDS?
Love that
