  • - Don't take the method and techniques too lightly, they go deep and the effects can have a huge impact.
    - Don't do the breathing exercises in a swimming pool, before going underwater, beneath the shower or piloting any vehicle, without proper supervision. Always practice in a safe environment.
    - Keep in mind to do the exercises without forcing them, gradually build up, and don't exceed your limits.
    - Note that 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.
    Wim Hof Breathing guided by Wim Hof himself explained with the science behind it. Please always learn from the source, and have the facts right. There is no room for speculation as breathing techniques can mean harm when not practiced right and when done in unsafe environments. Wim always runs his techniques by science. Among the universities; Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Radboud UMC, AMC, Hannover University, and many more!

    Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart. I finally tried your method. I've been clinically diagnosed with PTSD anxiety and depression. I have been struggling with alcoholism. Its been so bad that I haven't slept in two days, I punched a big dent in to my car last night. I was on the verge of doing something I'd regret. I did 4 rounds of your technique. It's gone. The urge to drink, the anger, the fear, the anxiety, the sadness is all gone, all of it. I cried tears if relieve and happiness for 15 minutes straight. I can't remember the last time I cried. You just may have literally saved my life. Thank you.

      Hi David, I'm so happy for you! Please check out Richard Grannon for deeper insight into and HEALING from PTSD, C-PTSD and/or narcissistic abuse, all of which has led to my struggles with depression, anxiety and fibromyalgia. I have found tremendous relief from all of it except the fibro (which is really a syndrome of symptoms, the primary one being widespread pain). I'm going to start this breathing technique next. But, Richard Grannon is THE absolute best on YT for PTSD, etc., even though most of the time he presents in a T-shirt, lol. He is also really intelligent and hilarious! He knows when to be serious, but it has been so good for me to laugh through the healing!

    I have extreme anxiety. I started this last week and it unbelievable! I started crying and releasing a lot of negative beliefs. Today I did it and then hopped in a cold shower. Oh my goodness! Just stayed in the shower crying and there were the most logical and wonderful thoughts in my head “you are loved” “life loves you” “you are taken care of” and I was in the shower just sobbing and crying. When I got out I felt amazing! Happy, loved, at peace and ready to start an awesome day! Thank you Wim! I’ve had anxiety since I was 7. Now at 44 I see how as a child I locked in certain beliefs and kept them through the decades and how I was finally able to release them. Simply amazing! Thank you again Wim!!

    Wim Hof, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
    Whoever is reading, please take my comment very seriously, it's the absolute truth.
    1 hour ago I saw one of your interviews, I knew nothing about this stuff at all.
    Then I saw this video, and put it into practice before you finished talking. Here are the results:
    1) 1' 56"
    2) 2' 31"
    3) 2' 26"
    Knowing myself I was hoping for 15-30 seconds, and then I was shocked!
    I didn't try to push it at all, I didn't force myself, after 20-25 breaths I lost the count and just went with whatever felt natural.
    I also missed the part of deep breath and hold in once, but it doesn't matter. At some point I began to tell myself how and when to breath and stop. My ability of thinking changed dramatically when I did this, I didn't feel like thinking too much.
    I'm 40 years old, I don't do sports, except for walking, I work in computers, and smoke once in a while, but I usually eat healthy food, don't drink and don't do drugs. However I avoid the cold at all cost, and tend to stay in very warm conditions.
    I've been suffering from severe "depression" for 20 years, and I don't want to go into the negative stuff, but in the past I tried medications, supplements, natural remedies, spent all my money, nothing worked. If anything SSRI almost ruined my life.
    ALL I KNOW is that after 15 minutes I felt so great, I smiled and laughed for 1 minute or so. People never see me smile, and here I am feeling good alone, writing a long comment on RUclips, because it means something.
    So I'm not sure what this technique will do for me in the long term, but it is truly remarkable how it was able to alter my state of mind in such a short time, FOR FREE. I'm not trying to achieve a fraction of what you did, Wim, I just want to be happy again.
    The tingling, feeling light and so on were absolutely true. My arms and legs went numb at the second round already.
    My hearing became very sharp at some point, I heard some ringing, not much of the visual stuff, but for a few times I was just picturing a human brain, for some reason.
    The most important thing that I have learned is how the concept of time changes. Like I said, I can't hold my breath for too long, I get very paranoid and go in panic mode very quickly, so I was hoping to do more than 15-30 seconds. And what I thought were like 30 seconds, were actually 2 minutes.
    I still feel a little high while writing this, and I have the impression that my mind and and my mood are "bright" somehow.
    Dank je wel Wim Hof.

      Any kind of chemical that you put into your body that your body has not produced it is an external drug in any form because your body it is the biggest chemical Factory on this planet if you only know how to activate it for example our bodies have been found to have marijuana receptors that means that your body is able to produce the chemical compound that is found in marijuana and so many other drugs that have been used externally you think about that, just a tip from me, when you say you don't do drugs but you smoke cigarettes those are chemicals that you put into your body chemicals from an external source think about that. I am very happy and pleased to see people like you that are getting better in this world because we need that happening in order to have a very bright future for Humanity so take charge of your life and make your own chemistry may your path be lit with light and good luck to you. And compassion towards everybody ( ALL LIVING THINGS ) is the way of the future

      Studying psychology together im doing Yoga and recently started Wim's breathing. Feels my trapped emotions is more relieved now. But, my ability to focus and concentration is still at a lower level.

    Step 1: Get Comfortable
    Step 2: Breath in and out continuously (30-40 times)
    Step 3: Breathe out and retain the breath-hold as long as you can, without force
    Step 4: After retention, take a deep breath in and hold it for a further 10-15 seconds
    Step 5: Repeat the entire process for another three rounds

      Breathing Technique Tips
      Relax. A relaxed body on an empty stomach absorbs more oxygen
      Feel. Don’t get too hung up on counting, feel how your body responds
      Observe. Record your thoughts and retention times (but remember it’s not a competition)

      archtopone retention is on the final exhale. Empty lungs. As long as you can. Then after 90-120 sec of hold (as long as possible), you inhale fully and do a shorter hold of around 15sec. Then repeat cycle.

    Edit Day 4: Holy moly. I haven't had a panic attack or even general anxiety since I've been doing this. It feels great. I feel awake and in control. More edits to come maybe.
    Edit 1+ month later: Wow. I legitimately don't have panic attacks anymore. When I'm anxious or stressed, I do the breathing and it just melts. Thank you, Wim. This method is incredible.

I started to feel anxious, worried, I couldn't focus on what I had to do, I didn't participate in activities with my family, because of the anxiety, I couldn't be happy to be at home. I prayed to God to help me and I came across Wim Hof. I started doing these techniques and my condition improved from the first day. I no longer have negative thoughts, anxiety, fear, I am active and participate in the activities around me. I'm getting better. God always helps us.THANK YOU, God bless you Wim Hof🙏

      Joshua Pevy I suggest watching Body posture / head posture (mending) video’s. Athlean X is a great help if you are struggling with body imbalances. The moment you start exercising you”ll feel better. When you know what muscle imbalances you have, try to have good posture and do these breathing exercises again.

    This was the first time, far from perfect, I imagine how far I'll go if I can perform the technique with mastery and perfection. Thank you Wim Hof.

    For whatever reason I thought it was confusing when I first listened to the video so here's a breakdown from Wim's mini class.
    I am so glad I somehow found my way back to Wim's teachings! One enlightened human he is 🙏
    Step 1: Get Comfortable
    Step 2: Start to breathe. Fully in (nose/mouth) then let go (mouth), continuously, 30-40 times
    Step 3: Last breath - breathe out, emptying the lungs. Hold for as long as you can (no force)
    Step 4: After the hold, take a deep breath in and hold for 10-15 seconds
    Step 5: Repeat the entire process for another 2 or 3 rounds

After the third round or so, I started to feel immense tingling/electricity all throughout my body, i got very cold, started shaking and then out of nowhere I started to cry like crazy. I am truly speechless at what I experienced. I feel as if I almost had an outer body experience. I am still crying writing this and I never ever cry.

      @@derpyninja8534 Whoa hey, depression can be a mental disorder but its a complicated thing, I'm not claiming to be an expert on it, but first, excluding conditional depression (which also isnt just being depressed for a min) there are separate types, clinical depression is a mental disorder in that if you can take certain pills/SSRIs and other such drugs and undergo positive effects, there's a chemical imbalance or simply it's a physiological thing (at the base, can be mental/maybe spiritual? that could be bullshit, too) and that isn't to say that if you aren't affected by any drugs, that you dont have a chemical imbalance but but if it does help or cure it that would indicate it was that. There are multiple types and peoples experiences may vary. Your journey doesn't define others but it also isn't any lesser or any less valid because of someones conflicting experience.

    Full & Deep Inhale into the stomach through the nose and/or mouth.
    Exhale a little through the mouth (just let go of the held breath, don't forcefully exhale).
    Perform 30 Repetitions.
    You may get dizzy, light headed & feel tingling sensations. This is normal.
    After 30 repetitions, exhale fully, completely emptying the lungs & hold the exhaled breath out for as long as is comfortable.
    When you cannot hold the exhaled breath out anymore, take a long, deep breath into the stomach & then hold the breath in for 15 seconds.
    After 15 seconds of holding the breathe in, return to the beginning for another 30 breaths.
    This marks a complete round.
    Repeat for 3-5 rounds in total every morning.
    Best performed on an empty stomach for optimal benefits.

    Dear Wim Hof,
    Thank you graciously from the bottom of my heart for posting this video. This is the first time I’ve ever watched one of your videos, I was recommended to you by my friend Shawn. I am facing a severe addiction to an SnRI medication that I was only prescribed just one month ago. I have to titrate so slowly off this medication that I have to break apart the capsules and count the microbeads; I’m looking at a year and a half long Journey straddling serotonin syndrome; insomnia, and other terrible side effects and avoiding withdrawals from my brain receptors rebuilding day by day. This is going to be a part of my daily routine. I am sure it will be a vital help to my stability. I hope to see you on the other side-we can have a breathing contest! 😉☺️

It really is just one of those things, and it makes sense our bodies have been in The cold our entire existence. And it makes you feel how you should be, because that’s how you would have felt every time it rained. Perhaps that why people have a connection with it. As it was the thing that made us feel alive from so long ago. Maybe that’s why it makes us realise so much, because it reminds us of how we used to be, like children do.

    This method is nothing short of amazing. I've been struggling with anxiety my whole life and much more so for about the past 7 years. Constantly running a million scenarios, criticisms, worries, and doubts through my mind. I've been looking for answers and the are so many great people offering advice and help, but I struggle with finding practical ways of implementing psychological techniques. This breathing method is so simple and easy to do and yet after I tried it my mind felt like walking into a completely white, empty room where my voice echos off the walls. And then I realized I could hear my own voice. MY voice. And it was the ONLY voice I could hear. I was blown away that this 10 minute breathing technique allowed me to experience that ACTUAL peace of mind after all these years.

    Okay! So today I was like I wanna try this and I did 3 rounds, I’m so shook that I did all the 3 rounds and during the second round I started crying so bad but I kept doing it and completed 3 rounds. I’m so relaxed now and it’s like I’ve been keeping all my emotions inside me from my childhood and ignoring the fact that how bad it is for me and my body. But today, it feels like a new birth of mine by doing only one session! Now onwards, these sessions will be as important as food and water to me! Wim hoff is a blessing to humanity! ❤️🙏🏻

    Paso 1: Ponte cómodo
    Paso 2: Inspirar y espirar continuamente (30-40 veces)
    Paso 3: exhalar y retener la respiración el mayor tiempo posible, sin fuerza.
    Paso 4: Después de la retención, inspire profundamente y manténgalo durante 10-15 segundos más.
    Paso 5: Repetir todo el proceso por otras tres rondas

    Panic, anxiety, depression, gone, replaced by energy and a connected feeling to nature. Breathing first thing in morning then get up and have a cold shower. Over time you will have break through moments and you will be in charge of your body and life once again. This is not a fad but being the way we were meant to be.

    • @ianmacdougall8812
      @ianmacdougall8812 5 лет назад +2

      Yes I had that too. Make sure you are comfortable. After the first round you will see it’s not so bad. Then after the third round you will be full of energy. After a month you will gain control over your fear during the breath holding part.

    • @smokinmnpurps
      @smokinmnpurps 5 лет назад +5

      Just remember anxiety can't kill you they're just feelings and feelings are something you can control. Just take your time start of just trying one set at a time. Practicing breathing will help you with anxiety alot. I'd also recommend you try passionflower extract that has helped me quite a bit with anxiety. I get the brand Secrets of the Tribe off amazon it relaxes me and if I feel like im starting to get anxiety I take it and feel better really fast. It also helps me sleep better.

      Also, he says that you will feel weird and lightheaded and you might pass out and to PRESS IN to that. I was so anxious to try, because these sound like the symptoms I'm trying to cure, but
      It. Is. Breathing. If I pass out, that is good, it is expected. If I don't, also good. Lean in to the fear and the weird feelings. That's the only way I could get it to work. And then I joy-cried. 💜 Go for it!
