Not him, you saved your life : ) ...being brave enough to try something new, make new experiences etc.
Matt Cener exactly the only saviour is ourselves.
No you are wrong ! Wim Hof saved his life , he showed him the way.
Barbara Tadla he showed him the way, you can lead a horse to the water, but you can’t make him drink. This man chose to drink, and now he is better. Wim lead him there.
I dont want to take something to feel me good I want to feel good with in me
Jesus is the only way/savior... but Wim here may have some useful tools for better health.
I’ve been doing the cold showers and have noticed a dramatic change in mood . I have struggled with anxiety and depression for years and this is by far the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me . I cold shower every single morning and u can be in the middle of pure anxiety and take a cold shower and u are totally on reset . Keep up doIng it and depression and anxiety goes down and mood goes up . Combine it with the breathing excersises meditation and excersize and determination and u will feel much better . The natural endorphins release is what improves mood .
I really hope you are doing well! I'm 14. I have to deal with my school bullying, so everyday I have anxiety. Starting cold showers from tommorow!
@@armybrainstay strong! You will make it 100%.
@@fosho332 Thanks!
I'm 23 and I was diagnosed with depression when I was 13 and anxiety disorder when I was 9. I've been struggling with these, and other mental illnesses like autism so much that I don't remember what it's like to not be depressed or not have anxiety. Hoping the commitment to this pays off! Wish me luck boys
Nice job @daviddelarosa5188 !!
It looks like bonding with other men is also a healing experience. Good to see.
and women
christine van kammen Yep.
Yes I agree bonding with fellow men
@@pascalmerschaudio there are virtually zero women there. What are you talking about.
@@pawelallable at this particular one there aren’t any but there are a bunch of women at other gatherings or retreats or whatever you want to call it that Wim does
Once you break the ice-cold, you can break any walls.
Wim Hof method change my life for good.
🙏
How can I do it in London?
Riccardo Bordin have a cold shower
Cant afford the gas/electric bill , I'm having the Wim Hoff experience every day 🤪
Wim Hof cured my anxiety after his breathing method I get so relaxed and I feel like everything will be okay and let me tell you first time you're gonna try ice bath it will take time to get in but once you do you will feel happy and like you accomplished something and you will forget about anything, it gives you inspiration that you can do anything you want you just have to get through first stage, I'm so glad I found out about Wim Hof :')
ElvizNation how long did it take from doing the breathing everyday until your anxiety was cured?
Did you really beat anxiety and depression
Thank you.
ElvizNation..I am currently suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. I began the WHM today, but no cold shower just yet. What is your routine, morning, evening or night?
His Breathing method also Helped me! Its just crazy how Effective it is man It went away Right away
i'm on my 3rd day of cold showers and breathing. i'm feeling above average these days.
I think for people that are going thru some major issues this is great. I am just interested in becoming stronger and healthier. I still believe this can help me lots. Well done mate.
🙏 Definitely makes you 'Happy healthy strong'!
I badly wish they had something like this in Minnesota. Maybe I need to start something up. It’d be so amazing to have a group of people that wanted to get together like this and just be together, cheer eachother on and do these practices together.
The wim hof method has helped me get over myself. The mind is all of our worst enemies'. Everything may seem like it is collapsing but if you implement this simple method with consistency it really helps. I absolutely enjoy the cold showers because it puts me in the moment in stability and harmony in my mind. Thank you Wim.
🙏
Thank you for your testimony and to Wim for his teachings❤❤❤
God bless this man on his journey 🙏 The Poland trip looks absolutely amazing ❄️❄️❄️
Thanks for sharing your story Luke.
this is what it's about coming to ur true selfs and then spreading that energy we call love to one another, this is why we are here so come everyone we got this, even if ur going threw a hard day and u feel lonely know that i love you out there keep strong and SHINE :)
I hop this work for me too, nice testimony man. Best wishes for you. Stay strong!
His experience meets with my first week taking cold showers with WHM app, this is SUPERB !!! Thanks to this guy and to Wim.
I love pozitive improvements. Congratulations. Life gives its gifts who are open to receive. Not so many people open to change and willing to learn. "Loving yourself is the only change" like Louise Hay says in her affirmation videos.
Wim Hof: a man who made Sněžka (the mountain) famous around the world :-)
Good to see this, I too had several family traumas and large depression and leaning on this will help.GOOD LUCK
Anthony Salatino same here
Thanks for this video, so inspiring.
Universal Church of healing of wim Hof ❤️
Damn I could feel their energy
Happy for you man.I have the same experience with the method and Poland.Born again in Poland in february 2019.
Take care my friend 😊
Thanks for your honest report 🤗
Awesome, I love WHM App and all exercises, doing it everyday !
🙏
Feeling good thanks to Wim xx
The power of the breath 🙏 the breathing technique followed by the cold shower is amazing and will help your anxiety 🥶
Thank you for sharing this Luke!! I’m so happy for you getting your zest for life back!! 🙌🏻 I’m also from Melbourne and suffer with terrible anxiety and PTSD. I’m on day 3 of WHM I’ve followed him for a while and think he is amazing and inspirational. Now I’m doing the breathing I will be doing cold showers again. I want to want to get out of bed in the morning instead of being struck down with fear and anxiety. Thank you Wim for everything you do!! We can access your method for free and I am so incredibly grateful for that!! 🙏🏻 It would be a dream come true to go to Poland to do the WH experience!!
in a recent interview with wim, he mentions you can get the benefits of just 30 seconds in a cold shower. I look forward to them now. They're always a challenge but its an achievement to do them and they leave you feeling great for the rest of the day. Like everything consistency is key so start them again asap Jodee. Lets get that anxiety beat :D
How are doing with your aniexty?
Keep at it daily...Try to find a group of others who you can practice with as you can form a tremendous bond jumping in an ice bath with someone x
Does it work for you?
Before I got into the Wim Hof method, I did go swimming in freezing water in winter in the mountains. A friend had mentioned him before, but I only check into him when I was down in the dumps and decided to look him up.
The cold showers have helped my anxiety a lot . I need to do the breathing more though as I find it a bit of a chore and get distracted .
Thank you ❤️
I'm happy for you brother!😊✊👑
🙏
Wooooooow
That's great to hear it
Congratulations buddy
You really changed your life
🙏
I just did cold shower, I feel AMAZING
I wish RUclips has love button :D
💗
Truly inspiring 💪
🙏
Thank you.
This is going to sound hard to believe but I couldnt do a single push up... Do this breath technique and then wait a few miniutes and try push ups and watch what happens. I went from barly able to go down to being able to 10 perfect push ups instantly without training my weak upper body strength.
Idk how this works its insane and amazing!
Such a beautiful, this Luke guy... got the Wim Hof Blues, I reckon. Let's take 3 collective breaths.
🙏
Awww this made me emocional. Looks awesome this course :)
🙏
yes indeed it is, healing
Please, does the "10 weeks course" traduced in french ( text or voice ). I'm just loving you
thank you
Thank you for sharing. Hoping Wim Hof does same for me
Give it a go 🙏
Did you really beat anxiety and depression?
@@sundjerbob6229 I think the WimHof is the main reason that I got through it! It gave me a a daily focus and a way to make myself feel good. The community was another huge part as they made me feel worthwhile.
Thanks!
Love it
Hi Wim, love your work, we would love to have you on our podcast to talk about breathing!
Also had some tough times like 4-5 years ago (I will spare you the details). Even though what happened doesn't bother me anymore I still think I developed some kind of depression (minor, but I'm not as happy as before) and anxiety disorder (which I can control now without panic attacks). Did anyone do the Wim Hof Method with anxiety and if you did, what kind of anxiety did you have.
Hey Im from Melbourne too man!!
🙏
Same here!
Good for you brother :)
Thank you x
I wish I had the money to do this! I know I would change my life.
Please do an expedition in Bulgaria!!
Hola desde México, por favor pongan subtítulos en español, saludos , GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS!!!!
Gabi Baig hola te puedo ayudar con gusto si necesitas te traduzco avísame si estás interesada
@@CarlosGomz70 quiza te enseñaron ingles, pero educacion y respeto no.
Awesome
🙏
I can’t do the breathing and cold showers in the morning.
Need to wake up early and hit the road for work .
Instead I take cold showers when I get home and does the breathing before bed time .
Ice therapy on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Feeling good 👍
How can I do to join the Poland Travel? What are the requires? Where can I sign up? Thanks a lots.
remember that epsiode of seinfeld where they did the intervention on the guy who kramer dumped gatoraid on his head nad he not pneumonia? than the old kinds came him from the "polare bears club" maybe they were on to something about the cold being a healthy way of living
How does one get to go to a class at his place and how much does it cost? I've been doing the breathing and cold showers for about 2 weeks now. I feel great, but I want more.
Have you checked his website?
@@Cherry-lm9rz thanks
I've just done my first cold shower after 3 rounds of breathing (4th round during the shower).
I feel AMAZING. Seriously... try this!
Don't do the method in water or while standing up unless you want to drown and or break your skull.
🙏
Por favor pongan subtitulos en español.....
Well, cryotherapy aka coldtherapy already been used for athletes also it really have benefits
I absolutely love the tingling and how I feel throughout my body.
However, I feel very heavy in my cheast area almost like someone is sitting on my chest.
Am I doing anything wrong?????
Same question
Where i can book this workshop ?
i started doing the mini course, but wonder if im not ready yet. when i get the 'charge' in my body, it gets me panicked! i feel like im about to pass out and stop the exercises. i tried cold water today and started feeling dizzy. i think my nervous system just might be a bit burnt out, maybe i should not do this till im a little more healthy. thoughts?
With the breathing, i feel that too, little panicked when i hold my breath and dizzi,but its normal, and i hold it as much as i am comfortable, and then hold it a little more. And with the cold showers start with it just a little cold then turn it colder and colder, and breath and stay calm, u will feel better
2:52. That is part of the method.
Imagine during the WW2 the military just learned this method during the winter
Imagine everyone learning WHM just before WW2 so there's no WW2…
Can very thin folk undergo the method???
I've been doing cold water swimming in the UK sea every day for the past two years and I still can't get off my antidepressants. Why?
Combine that with breathing and meditation. I was addicted to xanax for 2 years, and it fuck you up. So you need to convince yourself you can do it without pills
I have noticed an increase of anxiety since I started the method is that a signal that this is not for me?
At the start I had a lot of this as I was avoiding dealing with some thought things. I made a list of the tough things and did a few rounds of breathing before I would try to deal with each one at a time. Try to find others that do the Wim Hof! Strength in numbers
I totally agree - the cold showers are fine but the breathing seems to bring on anxiety. People who dont have it do not understand.
I get crippling anxiety and palpitations do you think it would work for me
Yes, try the free breathing exercises on RUclips
Willl the cold not do harm to the body? I don't get it. I have nerve inflammation and whenever I'm in a cold environment it gets irritated.
Have a little read about the science www.wimhofmethod.com/science

Cadê os brasileiros🙄🇧🇷🇧🇷
The wim hof method is good to anxiety?
BLOW probably. Try it and find out!
Did you try yet?
🙏It works for me! Any breathing is good for anxiety
@@AidanRKelly Does it work for you?
Do you guys really have each other's backs or are you all hugging so much for body heat?
We all still keep in touch to this day...We formed a very strong bond!
LOL
Hugging for body heat means y’all got each other’s back :)
I'm burned out (feeling exhausted, chronic stress and very little recuperation after sleep) for a while now and I consider to apply the breathing and cold technique. Is it recommended?
It wouldn't hurt to try it out, everybody is different but it seems like it's working out for most
@@armorofgod777 thanx ;-)
Are you trying? How about your results?
Is this method also possible for women?
Yes :) i took my first icy cold shower yesterday and actually lasted a long time, it felt amazing ❤️ took a few rounds a minute long each with short breaks in between, where i stretched and moved my body. Never thought i would be able to pull off the cold showers, i consider myself a very fragile and sensitive girl, but i did it 😊 its what our ancestors used to do when they lived out in nature and it really feels like you tap into that. i feel it dissolves the cloudiness in my head and the depressive feelings, after the shower i felt a warm feeling in my heart, it really opens you up
You're beautiful!
🙏 💗
✊
can the wim hof method cure anxiety and derealization?
Idk about derealisation but definitely anxiety
@@lewisthornton3 cool where can I start learning?
@@joeniati7903 u can use the app or watch RUclips videos of him
@@joeniati7903 or u can try cold showers which is what I do what I do is indo my normal shower and then for the last minute I have a cold shower and it helps Ur mood and derealisation
It has for me
One thing I don't understand... HOW will a breathing technique that activates the flight or fight response (adrenaline) help a person with anxiety
, who's adrenaline is high a lot of the time? I just don't see how increasing the adrenaline EVEN MORE will reduce anxiety.....
Isn't more stress, leading to chronic stress, bad? someone please explain.
Don’t know it exactly, but I guess through pushing the Adrenalin even higher, the body learns to handle this extreme stressful situation and then the less stressful situations in your daily life are even easier to handle for your body.
It’s like with the cold water. If you are used to 30 degrees Celsius water , then 20 degrees Celsius water will be cold for you.
But if you are used to 10 degrees Celsius water, 20 degrees Celsius water will be warm for you.
It changes the blood alkaline values, which is responsable for a lot of things in our body. Try to do a research to get some good explanation
How much is this ?? When can I do this ??
www.wimhofmethod.com/activities/wintertravel-poland
Luke O'Shea thanks very much mate 👍🏼
Does anyone know if this will help with adrenal Fatigue. Or if your body is producing too much cortisol from stress
Im pretty sure it wont hurt to try ;)
Just do it
This and look into biofeedback and get control then over your nervous system then you can consciously control body heat, hormones, etc. and make adjustments as needed.
This and the plant based diet will altogether do miracles for you. Good luck.
I have a question if I am doing something wrong, but I have anxiety and panic attacks, and after 2 weeks of doing breathing and cold showers, I started to feel dizzy and nauseous. Also the first five days I felt I had better adaptation to cold, but after two weeks I actually felt worse going outside (it is winter) and I shivered a lot - my circulation was so bad outside, my hands were freezing cold even with gloves. So I stopped doing it. Otherwise, I am a healthy but non-athletic individual. I did a heart test and my heart is good. Did I do something wrong?
Don’t rush into the cold, just take your time with the exposure your body needs to adapt. Do 15 seconds cold showers for the first week. Increase by 15 seconds per week until you get to 2minutes and this is long enough for benefits. When you are doing 2 minute showers you can start with more outdoor cold. It is not a race just step by step.
Same here - I think it is the breathing that is making me feel sick and light headed - this goes on througout the day and my anxiety is worse. I can do the cold showers - however when it is too cold my arms feel like they are numb and I have to stop. I'm going to have to stop the breathing unless somebody can help out there.
Help me
Did you try the breathing exercise and cold showers?
You can do this! 🙏 wimhofmethod.com
Can drinking ice cold water be just as equally effective as an ice bath
No lol
🤣🤣

he's just a goddamn eccentric, love the man
🙏
An addiction is a terrible curse but everyone deserves a 2nd chance or 100 chances for God forgives you for every sin you commit all he ask is you do the same to your sisters and brothers.
Go Odin!
But how exactly this helps cutting the anxiety??? I have it and is shitty... Maybe this person just had a placebo
he hot af omg
Is it male only, why so many dudes? Or is it segregated? Good work wim changing lives one breath at a time 😁
Later in the vid you see a lady in a t-shirt. I suspect it's just more guys are drawn to this. I'm just starting to look at it myself and plan to do the 10 week course
My take is that dudes (in general) are not very good communicators and they hold on to this 'macho' stuff and keep a lot of pain inside. This combined with our modern sedate lifestyles we don't get the natural releases of testosterone, adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin that our ancestors would have received from just trying to survive with predators. This is engrained in our DNA and I think men are searching for modern healthy ways to get this feeling.
I dont think Wims wife was his exwife. I believe they were married when she committed suicide.
