For those of you who didn't get it, that's because this video never says what you do for 2 days. Actually you do it for the rest of your life. He says it takes 2 days of doing it to get the effects. That's odd since most people who do this get immediate effects. So here is what you need to do. I got this information from a yt video made by someone. I'm just sharing it here. Do this every morning b4 you eat and as many times as you want during the day, but do it on an empty stomach, so b4 dinner and bed are good times. First relax and focus your mind. Next, take about 5-10 slow deep breaths, fully in and fully out, to warm up your lungs. Then do some dynamic stretching for a couple minutes. Now, lie down or sit down and take 30 deep breaths. Breathe in fully and just let it go. Exhale naturally. Don't breathe fully out. Fully in and just let it go, normal exhale. No pause between the exhale and inhale. On the 30th breathe after the exhale, hold your breath for as long as you can. During this time you want to relax. During this time you'll feel tingling in your hands and feet and maybe even your head. When you need to breathe, breathe in fully and hold your breath for 15 seconds. For added benefit tighten your stomach muscles during these 15 seconds and squeeze the oxygen into your head. Don't force. Do it gently at first and increase based on how you feel. That was 1 round. First time you can just do 1 round or 2 or 3 rounds. Go with how you feel. Next day you can do 3 rounds. Some end up doing 4 or 5 rounds or even more, but it's not a competition. You decide how much you do based on how you feel. Each round you'll be able to hold your breath longer and your breath holds will increase with time, but some days they'll decrease. Don't worry. This is normal. My breath holds suck right now, and some days I don't do any, which is unfortunate, but it happens, but one time I held my breath for almost 3 minutes. Some can hold it that long or longer right away, but that's not the point. If you do this every day, it will, over time, increase and you'll feel good. After breathing, do some more dynamic stretching and then take a cold shower or gradual cold shower each morning. Start warm and slowly turn it colder. In about a week, you'll notice a difference in how much cold water your body can tolerate and after about a month, even more, but even with cold showers sometimes you might need to step back and kinda start over. Don't worry. Everyone is different. Wim has a free app, but just about everything on that app is now also on UA-cam, including his Guided Breathing Session, which is really good. There's also plenty of videos on here and testimonials. Everyone should do the Wim Hof method at least once a day. As Wim says, a cold shower a day keeps the doctor away, but no cold shower if you're sick. Take care everyone. Stay well. I'm very glad that my comments here have helped some people. That feels good. One of my dreams now is to meet and train with Wim. If that ever happens, I'm so going to make a video of it : ) Edit 1/23/21 I just now realized I should've mentioned that I got some of this info from a yt channel called 'Code of Life' She put out a series of videos on the Wim Hof Method 'Step by Step'. I should also mention that I don't always do the warmups. Often I just lie down and do the breathing exercises and sometimes follow up with a cold shower, though lately I've been lazy and haven't done anything for like 4 days, so I challenged myself today and took a full ice bath. By full, I mean the tub was full of ice, not partially full. Somehow I managed to stay in for 4 minutes. YIKES! LOL. Don't do more than 1 or 2 minutes the first time you take an ice bath. I only lasted 20 seconds the first time I tried it, lol
Ive been smoking weed all my life, ive been on suboxone(opiate maintenance med thats harder to get off than heroin) After 24 days i have little to no desire to smoke weed. After day 24 i had forgotten to take my suboxone for 6 days, it took six days to feel the withdrawals. I am now able to cut down easy! Im almost free. Im a much happier person, i actually have confidence now. I thank god that i came across this man! Thank you Wim Hoff

Taking a cold shower is a great thing to do not only will it wake your body up but it will get your mind to withstand being uncomfortable. It’s easy to take a warm shower you feel more relaxed and comfortable. People are scared to be uncomfortable these days. People are scared to take risks. Little things like a simple cold shower can improve your confidence, improve your attitude, improve your life. It teaches you I don’t need to take the shortcut or do something the easy way. I’m going to challenge myself with every opportunity I get put in front of me. Hope all of you make your dreams a reality. God Bless you all.
Adam Craig Hot showers are one thing that I enjoy most in a day. I can be uncomfortable without giving up a nice warm shower. Especially on a cold night.
Cold showers are extremely under-overrated. People make it seem like taking a cold shower will solve all your problems, and others act like taking a cold shower is pointless. Ive been taking a cold shower ever day/time i take a shower since the beginning of this year. Just after the first time i actually tried it, i literally felt like a new man, and completely different than before. I felt like i just went from base form, to super saiyan and all my senses were enhanced. After this long of taking cold showers i have reaped all the benefits from it by now, and i can honestly say that taking a cold shower has in fact improved many aspects of my life. Also you start off the water hot/warm, then you ease your way to all the way cold for at least 3 minutes, the longer you endure the cold, the better, and easier it gets to take cold showers. Now the cold water doesn’t even feel that cold anymore

Two years ago I was so depressed and felt very lost in many ways. And all it took was taking cold showers in whichever the season or the weather, also swimming nearly everyday in the sea in winter. I found peace, bravery and happiness, It helped me tidy up my jumbled mind and pushed me to be a better version of myself. Once you START doing something good, the next thing that you need in your life will come, it is an uncontrollable beautiful succession.
@@OnePiece-os3pe honestly tho, what do you do. And it’s hot the whole year, there are some places that are cold but just a few somewhere in the south of Africa. I mean, coldness isn’t the only way to ground yourself, breathing and meditation, that’s it and I know it’s basic but it works.

I am a man of 71 and accidentally found your video and started practicing it for safety sake in these times of covid.To my surprise it improved my oxygen level and after less than a fortnight of doing it I can hold my breath for more than one minute that seemed impossible before.My next stop is cold showers.Thanks a lot.
I've taken cold showers for some time, on and off, but yesterday, I finally built up the courage to do a full 30 seconds at the coldest. The best part? After (slowly) counting to 30, I both felt and realized, that I could stand there for much longer. The suffering strengthened me.
‘A man is not able to endure 30 years of mockery without this belief’. You are so appreciated. I am with you on this journey every day. I have some pain free periods every day thanks to your breathwork/cold exposure teaching. With deep gratitude 🙏
I believe singing has a similar effect on your brain. Notice how when you jump in cold water, you can easily let out high pitches. As an experienced classical singer and voice teacher, we use this ice-water feeling sometimes to help people engage breathing muscles on their highest notes. Basic breathing for singing involves taking a yawny breath, and gently trying to keep that position while you sing. You imagine you're still inhaling to sing. Singing is also primal and good for you mentally and physically. Sing! 🎶
It looks similar with Ancient Indian Transcendental Yogic Meditation !! Happy to see people like him reinventing it and helping mankind finding real happiness.
This method is changing my life! I'm only two days in and I'm happier than ever! His breathing method actually obliterated any anxiety and depression I was experiencing!! All I can say is wow! I will recommend this to everyone I can! There is hope for mental health naturally 🙂
I tried this yesterday, all of the swelling in my fingers from psoriatic arthritis is gone. I can wear a ring we should only go over top part of my finger. No swelling in my fingers whatsoever amazing.
Wanna know what is happiness ? No or little debt! Good sleep, a meal at the end of the day, someone to talk to that cares whether it be a spouse, mom, gramma a friend. Being content with what you have. Maintaining good health for as long as possible but accepting that eventually we will get sick and pass. All this defines happiness to me.
Diceman Duke good for you but you will get sick as I will, you will lose a sibling or parent as we all will and I hope your money takes the pain away. Materials bring temporary happiness my friend, it’s all temporary. Then you have to go buy the new item to bring you temporary joy once again. You’re chasing happiness is what you are doing , let’s hope your money doesn’t run out cause that’s when you will not be able to find happiness as we the non rich have. Wish you luck.
"You can not find it in the books. You are the book. You got to open up and begin to read, to be conscious of what you have inside you..." so beautiful.
i feel vibrations when i listen to him speak along to this music. i feel as if im on the precipice of connecting with what we are all ment to connect to connect to. My conviction was weak... but these past few days ive found the strength that I was missing. i wish all of you, my brothers and sisters the best of luck on this Journey were all sharing. when you feel as if you have nothing more to give remember i am there. you may have all the energy you need. we are infinite.

How can you turn a true raw informative interview into a dreamy drippy hollywood kind of video shit with marketing clips and “epic” music as a background. It is a plague on youtube these days
Good call MM , I just posted something similar to that and glad to see I am not alone - so much of this superficial production going about - and yet it’s still going on - what’s their purpose ? Why can’t they contribute something truly thought provoking instead of this mish mash sound and words.
We already have all the answers, we just need to listen closely to our deeper self. This is only one of the things our body's toolbox have, we just need to have the thirst of getting to know better this complex machine we use every day and sometimes forget about or ignore, which is sad. Let's stop accepting everything we think we know, and simply explore and enjoy this journey with every aspect that comes with. PS: imagine your body as something that you received as a rental, and that you will need to take care of it, daily (love it, respect it, then washing, meditating, keeping the stress as low as possible, staying happy, taking care of your health etc.) but yet you enjoy it, so again, take care of it, it's precious.
Who else practices his method daily .. i started just for fun and now I am addicted. I can hold my breath for 2 mins easily now and My focus has improved.. my workout has improved.. I don’t get angry .. I observe deeply .. do it.. it’s on his channel.
I'm so happy he shared his story and taught us this ! It will be one year in December I've been doing his breathing method and cold showers every morning and I've never been more happy and healthier before ! I will do this for the rest of my life , thanks Wim hoff

I have to admit. I just did 3 cycles of his breathing so that I was holding my breath for 2.5 minutes by the last cycle. On the first cycle, I hated it. Now, however, I feel so very good. Like all my burdens are easier to bear. I am very surprised. This feeling is addictive. I actually have to stop myself from going to do it all again.
We have to get through to all first time parents and millennial parents that the worst thing you could ever do to your child is get them a smartphone or tablet and let them play video games or surf the net all day to keep them entertained and quiet. I saw a truly frightening statistic yesterday in a TEDx lecture i watched on how technology, especially smartphones are making a whole generation of children from the ages of 2 to 10 less intelligent than previous generations. Approximately 92% of those children ages 2 to 10 have a smartphone or tablet(ie. iPad or Kindle Fire etc.). That blew my mind!!!...I have a ten yr old son and he is only allowed to use his iPad for 30 minutes a day and that is only on weekends when he has no school. He plays outside with his friends all the time and reads a book for 30 minutes as part of his homework everynight. He has a friend whose parents raised him with an iPad like those 92% i mentioned and i can see a huge difference in social skills and intelligence that my son has compared to his friend. They are both the same age but my son's friend has the intelligence and social skills of a 4 yr old, not a ten yr old. There has to be an intervention of all parents in this country. Read to your child or make them read and make them play with their friends outside in nature!!
Anybody with questions, just look into Wim Hof breathing and cold therapy. It will change u if u actually do it! Enjoy! And thank you Wim Hof and this channel for spreading the word.
I dig this guy. Everyday we get further away from feeling and knowing our own bodies and mind. That is why society is in shambles.... people are puppets to what’s all around us.. go into the forest and walk bare foot and just sit down and breath and listen and feel.... touch the ground and the rocks ... we weren’t meant to live like this... it’s a lonely life
I started the breathing a couple of days ago, apparently my husband said I am now doing deep breathing in my sleep and my dreams have become very lucid, where I am travelling through space, it seemed so real, yet I knew it was a dream, very strange.
THIS video has almost zero information and bizarre and "trippy" audio for William's voice and the background music. Hoff has some great techniques. This video is mostly garbage. Take from it what you will and find the real deal. The silence.
Thank you with all my heart i am so grateful to have found you. I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder manifesting in seizures partial paralysis and the list goes on. I luckily started this and i have truly started to feel amazing........many are in wheelchairs with this condition. .........again thank you :)
"A man is not able to endure 30 years of mockery if he hasn't got this belief you know..." That words, man... NOW WE KNOW how harsh has been his journey and I feel soooo grateful of him not giving up!
Hey I'm a huge skeptic okay. But this is my experience so far. Tried it 2 days ago after watching Win Hof on the Joe Rogen Experience Podcast. Had no idea of it "taking only two days" I actually expected it to take years but... First day I was a little uncomfortable because I hate the feeling of blood rushing in my body I guess. Always hated blood pressure machines, holding my breath that type of stuff. But. I did it. And then yesterday I did it with a cold shower. And now today I feeeeeel great much more positive, better energy overall. I can't explain it. Then I just saw this video of him saying it takes two days and I was like wow its dead on. So idk imma keep doing it we'll see how it goes...
@@ohlookabunny I stopped it about two weeks in. The cold I think is similar to an ice bath on your muscles so that felt nice but I don’t think deep breathing really changed anything doing it in the cold. I’d rather meditate and take an ice bath separately, and it sucks ending showers with cold water. Instead I’ve just been developing my diaphragmatic breathing through meditation. I’ve switched to following Ido, this guy who developed “Portal” movements. He teaches people how to move as proper humans and that’s helped my body get stronger more than anything.
Only been doing the breathing techniques for three days with warm to cold showers. I do the breathing techniques 3 times a day for 3 rounds each time. On the third day I had done my normal breathing exercise and went straight under the shower, I started a bit warm then after washing myself I put on the cold water without hesitation. This time I didn’t feel so cold and I didn’t get that shock when the cold water hit me, I felt at peace but also confused as normally I would hyperventilate and not be able to cope. I suffered a lot from anxiety and depression for many years trying to figure out how to fix it with multi vitamins, cbd oils and nootropics but they never worked for me. Doing wim hof and regular exercise is only thing that has changed me for the better, also make sure to stay hydrated and eat good food! This is the only thing that’s worked so far and I recommend everyone to put this into practice. I’ll carry on doing this for the rest of my life!
I’ve been doing the cold shower thing in and off for years an art instructor in college told me about it, then just this week this guy pops up in my recommended and I laid down and did the breathing as he instructed along with him, and I got the most insane body high and was astonished at how long I could go without breathing. There were colors I was seeing on my eyelids and a very very strange (to me) sense of absolute relaxation and body awareness I didn’t think possible. And it was my first go at it. I was skeptical but it worked so well that when I came out of it I felt in touch with myself like never before. This guy has shown me something so simple yet so amazing that I can do. I struggled to hold breath for 50 seconds before and doing this I hit almost 2 minutes in what felt like 20 seconds. This shit takes you somewhere. Genius.
This is great and iceman is great, I will point out that eastern traditions have been teaching these concepts for well over a millennium. It’s great to see we are all catching up.
I think this is the most impactful video I have ever watched. So much wisdom and this man is a treasure. I hope to meet him one day. Thanks Wim Hof for sharing the knowledge, and thank you Video Advice for providing great content
Basically do the Wim Hof breathing technique Exhale (not all the way, just get some oxygen out) Inhale a breath that fills your belly, then your chest, then your head with oxygen Rinse and repeat 20-30-40 times each set and try to do it for a few sets Then take cold showers Start by lowering the cold in your shower gradually if you're taking hot showers, then go to finishing your showers fully cold, then try to go to coldish to cold, then fully cold There you go , saved your precious time, now feel free to do what I said with that time =]
I am lying here in a ice cold bath after doing 17 minutes of breathing & breath hold, so 20 minutes now. Snow ice & Not shivering, trying the to fix my broken brain (& not throw myself off a cliff either) . I think Won Hof might b able to save me, help change my life. Started only this year - going to do it for a half hour a day (breathing) not the ice - my toes are starting to hurt lol
@@sebastianneimer4594 that's amazing, really great job Sebastian. Here's a little secret, those same things you learn when talking to your class apply to a bigger audience. The biggest audience I've delivered a presentation to was about 300 people, but the same rules apply. It's ironic you mention that, I've been working on one of my upcoming videos and it's all about communicating and speaking to an audience. :)
Wow!!!...this is GREAT...I've been doing things like this prior to Wim Hoff videos...but NOW I can REALLY tap in to this..knowing the Science behind it!!!
I have strong feeling the majority is never going to know who Wim Hof is and his techniques. However in a few generations everyone will know him great dead people are known today. And his techniques will elevate mankind into a new tier
This guy and David Goggins are very similar. They found and experienced the mind-body connection. Looking up to such people and living their experience with ourselves truly makes life worth living. Thank you.
Pranayam or deep breathing techniques have been taught and practiced in India since 3000 years. You tune yourself in with the cosmos, like a radio. It's must be pretty good to last that long.
Yoguis have been saying this for thousands of years. This breathing technique is called Bhastrika, and Yoguis have been doing this and other more advanced breathing techniques in the Himalayas living in ice-cold weather year-round almost without clothing.....thousands of years ago....but Wim Hof is to be congratulated by bringing this to the light of science. What he teaches is not new, but submitting himself to tests and studies is bold, courageous and a great service to humanity.
For those of you who didn't get it, that's because this video never says what you do for 2 days. Actually you do it for the rest of your life. He says it takes 2 days of doing it to get the effects. That's odd since most people who do this get immediate effects.

Don't force. Do it gently at first and increase based on how you feel.
That was 1 round.

After breathing, do some more dynamic stretching and then take a cold shower or gradual cold shower each morning. Start warm and slowly turn it colder. In about a week, you'll notice a difference in how much cold water your body can tolerate and after about a month, even more, but even with cold showers sometimes you might need to step back and kinda start over.
Don't worry.
Everyone is different.
Wim has a free app, but just about everything on that app is now also on UA-cam, including his Guided Breathing Session, which is really good.
There's also plenty of videos on here and testimonials.
Everyone should do the Wim Hof method at least once a day. As Wim says, a cold shower a day keeps the doctor away, but no cold shower if you're sick.
Take care everyone.
Stay well.
I'm very glad that my comments here have helped some people. That feels good. One of my dreams now is to meet and train with Wim. If that ever happens, I'm so going to make a video of it : )

Outsmart & Outwork pH and alkalinity. I love the breathing techniques and also raise my pH with special food. So thankful for the internet after years of suffering without even knowing what was wrong. Now I feel amaziiiiing! Bio Electric! :) peace
This guy wasted his whole life to find something that is not there.
Because he cannot deal with this, he became deluded and started to believe his own bullshit. You don't need a guru. Think for yourself.

I am a man of 71 and accidentally found your video and started practicing it for safety sake in these times of covid.To my surprise it improved my oxygen level and after less than a fortnight of doing it I can hold my breath for more than one minute that seemed impossible before.My next stop is cold showers.Thanks a lot.
Nice! Keep it up. Wim Hof did an interview with Jordan Peterson this past Sunday. Today is day 4 for me with cold showers. Much better than before.
I've taken cold showers for some time, on and off, but yesterday, I finally built up the courage to do a full 30 seconds at the coldest.
The best part? After (slowly) counting to 30, I both felt and realized, that I could stand there for much longer. The suffering strengthened me.
@@steffen54321 haha that’s awesome
I started breathing 28 years ago and haven’t died since
😂😂😂
Really????
I got you beat....Ive been breathing 51 years and still alive 😂
@@junehoward2384 😂😂😂
Me for 15
Lolll
‘A man is not able to endure 30 years of mockery without this belief’. You are so appreciated. I am with you on this journey every day. I have some pain free periods every day thanks to your breathwork/cold exposure teaching. With deep gratitude 🙏
I believe singing has a similar effect on your brain. Notice how when you jump in cold water, you can easily let out high pitches. As an experienced classical singer and voice teacher, we use this ice-water feeling sometimes to help people engage breathing muscles on their highest notes. Basic breathing for singing involves taking a yawny breath, and gently trying to keep that position while you sing. You imagine you're still inhaling to sing. Singing is also primal and good for you mentally and physically. Sing! 🎶
i loveeee singing , dream career of mine :)
Wim Hof you just made me cry. I needed to hear this today. You are an absolute godsend. Thankyou for saving me and for making me feel alive again.
The HEART already knows EVERYTHING....It’s our heads that trip us up...
It looks similar with Ancient Indian Transcendental Yogic Meditation !! Happy to see people like him reinventing it and helping mankind finding real happiness.
This method is changing my life! I'm only two days in and I'm happier than ever! His breathing method actually obliterated any anxiety and depression I was experiencing!! All I can say is wow! I will recommend this to everyone I can! There is hope for mental health naturally 🙂
I tried this yesterday, all of the swelling in my fingers from psoriatic arthritis is gone. I can wear a ring we should only go over top part of my finger. No swelling in my fingers whatsoever amazing.
Yup. They did find out it significantly reduces inflammation which is basically a cure of arthritis
“You are the book, you gotta open up... “ Wim Hof
for me the WIM HOF method is really wonderful, but the real meaning of life is to know our creator and love our neighbor as ourselves! Be thankful !
I think the premise is to embrace discomfort, physically and mentally. This discomfort wakes us up.
As Wim HOF perfectly called it..."positive stress" on the body & mind, makes complete sense 😃
Just watched this brilliant man on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast! What a rare soul❤️❤️❤️
"You cannot find it in a book, you are the book, you must open up"
Wanna know what is happiness ? No or little debt! Good sleep, a meal at the end of the day, someone to talk to that cares whether it be a spouse, mom, gramma a friend. Being content with what you have. Maintaining good health for as long as possible but accepting that eventually we will get sick and pass. All this defines happiness to me.
manny Pep well said
loved it
Beautiful comment, and logical.
Well said. Defiantly no or little debt plays a big factor.
Diceman Duke good for you but you will get sick as I will, you will lose a sibling or parent as we all will and I hope your money takes the pain away. Materials bring temporary happiness my friend, it’s all temporary. Then you have to go buy the new item to bring you temporary joy once again. You’re chasing happiness is what you are doing , let’s hope your money doesn’t run out cause that’s when you will not be able to find happiness as we the non rich have. Wish you luck.
"You can not find it in the books. You are the book. You got to open up and begin to read, to be conscious of what you have inside you..." so beautiful.
This man is amazing telling us the reality.
i feel vibrations when i listen to him speak along to this music. i feel as if im on the precipice of connecting with what we are all ment to connect to connect to. My conviction was weak... but these past few days ive found the strength that I was missing. i wish all of you, my brothers and sisters the best of luck on this Journey were all sharing. when you feel as if you have nothing more to give remember i am there. you may have all the energy you need. we are infinite.
Proof of how much we limit ourselves with what’s “”possible”” and “”impossible””
This channel, along with other video motivational advice channels make my day, day by day. Keep it up! 😁 😃
1:35 I balled my eyes out, all my emotions I’ve been suppressing surfaced. We are born and that means we are complete, you are entitled to life and happiness.
How can you turn a true raw informative interview into a dreamy drippy hollywood kind of video shit with marketing clips and “epic” music as a background. It is a plague on youtube these days
exactly what I think...
Maybe because you have an editor that cares.
Good call MM , I just posted something similar to that and glad to see I am not alone - so much of this superficial production going about - and yet it’s still going on - what’s their purpose ? Why can’t they contribute something truly thought provoking instead of this mish mash sound and words.
That's why being a fan of Wim, I am getting nausea after 20 seconds of this sh....t
Is there anything Wim can make this BS stop...?
We already have all the answers, we just need to listen closely to our deeper self. This is only one of the things our body's toolbox have, we just need to have the thirst of getting to know better this complex machine we use every day and sometimes forget about or ignore, which is sad. Let's stop accepting everything we think we know, and simply explore and enjoy this journey with every aspect that comes with.
PS: imagine your body as something that you received as a rental, and that you will need to take care of it, daily (love it, respect it, then washing, meditating, keeping the stress as low as possible, staying happy, taking care of your health etc.) but yet you enjoy it, so again, take care of it, it's precious.
You're the best !! I will make it my mission today to think that way..going within... you're a God send. Thank you.
Who else practices his method daily .. i started just for fun and now I am addicted. I can hold my breath for 2 mins easily now and My focus has improved.. my workout has improved.. I don’t get angry .. I observe deeply .. do it.. it’s on his channel.
I'm so happy he shared his story and taught us this ! It will be one year in December I've been doing his breathing method and cold showers every morning and I've never been more happy and healthier before ! I will do this for the rest of my life , thanks Wim hoff
“You cannot find it in the book, you are the book, so open up and read” that boew my mind 🤯🤯
So true
i wish i could run away from society and learn from him (just for a while) on the soul searching path
Be careful with your wishes. I started this journey a few years ago. A little while is not where it happens... It becomes a lifestyle.
tell me about your experience bro. you sound interesting
You can, he has a retreat in the austrian alps :) 3 weeks I think.
dusty mac you will find one and only path which is Meditation but you have to know the true meaning of this word "Meditation" othereise you will find nothing.....for this you can read a man(enlightened) named "Osho".
Have a good day...!
Bro, Are you, by any chance, interested in outdoors activities and traveling?
I also want to take a break in my life, looking for a mate for talking purposes and maybe traveling/outdoor sports.
I am a 23yo male from Europe.

I have to admit. I just did 3 cycles of his breathing so that I was holding my breath for 2.5 minutes by the last cycle. On the first cycle, I hated it. Now, however, I feel so very good. Like all my burdens are easier to bear. I am very surprised. This feeling is addictive. I actually have to stop myself from going to do it all again.
Are you still doing this? Is it still good?
This man saved my life 💯. Cannot send enough blessings his way ❤️❤️❤️
How? What happened ?
To me books changed my whole perspective of life,including his books too.
We have to get through to all first time parents and millennial parents that the worst thing you could ever do to your child is get them a smartphone or tablet and let them play video games or surf the net all day to keep them entertained and quiet. I saw a truly frightening statistic yesterday in a TEDx lecture i watched on how technology, especially smartphones are making a whole generation of children from the ages of 2 to 10 less intelligent than previous generations. Approximately 92% of those children ages 2 to 10 have a smartphone or tablet(ie. iPad or Kindle Fire etc.). That blew my mind!!!...I have a ten yr old son and he is only allowed to use his iPad for 30 minutes a day and that is only on weekends when he has no school. He plays outside with his friends all the time and reads a book for 30 minutes as part of his homework everynight. He has a friend whose parents raised him with an iPad like those 92% i mentioned and i can see a huge difference in social skills and intelligence that my son has compared to his friend. They are both the same age but my son's friend has the intelligence and social skills of a 4 yr old, not a ten yr old. There has to be an intervention of all parents in this country. Read to your child or make them read and make them play with their friends outside in nature!!
Yeah but it doesn't matter if you just read the book you need to take action on what you've learned, if you don't take action nothing will change.
I do that and more.That's why I love books.They teach you things,you know ? :)
Yes, hooks are Amazing
@@mohicanmowl we wouldn't be able to comprehend difficult books without them. :)
This man is an Amazing person.
The most remarkable refreshing insight I've ever heard. A man's climb from the depths of mental emotions to the peak of physical ability on his own.
Listening to Wim. What he is saying is so real
"in with positivity, out with negativity" your some man 👍🙌🌟
Anybody with questions, just look into Wim Hof breathing and cold therapy. It will change u if u actually do it! Enjoy! And thank you Wim Hof and this channel for spreading the word.
I dig this guy. Everyday we get further away from feeling and knowing our own bodies and mind. That is why society is in shambles.... people are puppets to what’s all around us.. go into the forest and walk bare foot and just sit down and breath and listen and feel.... touch the ground and the rocks ... we weren’t meant to live like this... it’s a lonely life
I started the breathing a couple of days ago, apparently my husband said I am now doing deep breathing in my sleep and my dreams have become very lucid, where I am travelling through space, it seemed so real, yet I knew it was a dream, very strange.
Strange isn't it I share the same experience as well
I've already been bathing in cold water on purpose before watching this video and it's quite helpful to maintain longer focus when I study.
Conor Mcgreggor looks so much older after his fight with khabib damn.
Haha he actually looks similar to Conor.
loooool
Hahaha...very observant. ..:)
Homewrecker100 two bums
It's the drugs.
They say when plotting revenge: built two coffins.
"Its time we take this intelligence and we go within." this is such an important concept everyone should know put into one sentence.
This man is the key for us to get back to who were supposed to be
Breath. Read, that’s his conviction. Oh and shower in cold water !
Hamu Jimenez you don't seem to be very impressed
Neither am i
This video is major helpful
THIS video has almost zero information and bizarre and "trippy" audio for William's voice and the background music.
Hoff has some great techniques. This video is mostly garbage. Take from it what you will and find the real deal. The silence.
Thank you with all my heart i am so grateful to have found you. I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder manifesting in seizures partial paralysis and the list goes on. I luckily started this and i have truly started to feel amazing........many are in wheelchairs with this condition. .........again thank you :)
Wow strong girl ! You will get better and better!! Feel admired
Well deserved recognition has arrived, Wim. 👏
It's for a breathing technique it says it at the end of the video " link in description " if you don't listen you won't hear, stay awake people.
Daniel Warne wait, what’d you say? I wasn’t listening. lol
Higher-self haha I smelt what you did there
Yea and where is the link exactly?
4:00 is how I normally think.
We're literally drowning in information yet have so little knowledge.
"A man is not able to endure 30 years of mockery if he hasn't got this belief you know..."
That words, man... NOW WE KNOW how harsh has been his journey and I feel soooo grateful of him not giving up!
Wim Hof is a legend. He pushes boundries for what we think human bodies can do
20 mins.... my allergies! My anxiety! GONE! OMG! I did it! I own my new life to one GREAT! MR. Will Huf... I can't thank this guy enuf....
@NN O we all must listen to your self... listen to the GREAT ice man! Hold fast.....
Worth watching!
I v
Oh!
"It is time we take this intelligence and go within"... A poet in a strong body...
This guy looks like he could be the voice of that guy that says "DRAGON BORN"
*cues Skyrim music*
This guy is a grey beard, if anyone ever was. All hail the dragonborn!
Hey I'm a huge skeptic okay. But this is my experience so far. Tried it 2 days ago after watching Win Hof on the Joe Rogen Experience Podcast. Had no idea of it "taking only two days" I actually expected it to take years but... First day I was a little uncomfortable because I hate the feeling of blood rushing in my body I guess. Always hated blood pressure machines, holding my breath that type of stuff. But. I did it. And then yesterday I did it with a cold shower. And now today I feeeeeel great much more positive, better energy overall. I can't explain it. Then I just saw this video of him saying it takes two days and I was like wow its dead on. So idk imma keep doing it we'll see how it goes...
How is it going?
@@ohlookabunny I stopped it about two weeks in. The cold I think is similar to an ice bath on your muscles so that felt nice but I don’t think deep breathing really changed anything doing it in the cold. I’d rather meditate and take an ice bath separately, and it sucks ending showers with cold water. Instead I’ve just been developing my diaphragmatic breathing through meditation. I’ve switched to following Ido, this guy who developed “Portal” movements. He teaches people how to move as proper humans and that’s helped my body get stronger more than anything.
@@ohlookabunny I get the same effect with regular mediation
I quit heavy doses of 3 medications and JUUL in 3 weeks using WHM. I am finally free of my addictions for the first time in six years.
Only been doing the breathing techniques for three days with warm to cold showers. I do the breathing techniques 3 times a day for 3 rounds each time.
On the third day I had done my normal breathing exercise and went straight under the shower, I started a bit warm then after washing myself I put on the cold water without hesitation. This time I didn’t feel so cold and I didn’t get that shock when the cold water hit me, I felt at peace but also confused as normally I would hyperventilate and not be able to cope.
I suffered a lot from anxiety and depression for many years trying to figure out how to fix it with multi vitamins, cbd oils and nootropics but they never worked for me.
Doing wim hof and regular exercise is only thing that has changed me for the better, also make sure to stay hydrated and eat good food!
This is the only thing that’s worked so far and I recommend everyone to put this into practice. I’ll carry on doing this for the rest of my life!
Hi can you guide me please?
I’ve been doing the cold shower thing in and off for years an art instructor in college told me about it, then just this week this guy pops up in my recommended and I laid down and did the breathing as he instructed along with him, and I got the most insane body high and was astonished at how long I could go without breathing. There were colors I was seeing on my eyelids and a very very strange (to me) sense of absolute relaxation and body awareness I didn’t think possible. And it was my first go at it. I was skeptical but it worked so well that when I came out of it I felt in touch with myself like never before. This guy has shown me something so simple yet so amazing that I can do. I struggled to hold breath for 50 seconds before and doing this I hit almost 2 minutes in what felt like 20 seconds. This shit takes you somewhere. Genius.
thanks...and thank you guys for the likes
I think I missed it somewhere but do what for 2 days?
Edit: just googled it. Thanks guys!
I was scrolling comments for that answer. Lol. Have a great day!!
Yes what to do???Just wasted 5 min..
Cant understand him. He slurs alot. 5 minutes gone, no solution.
Nothing to understand only listen😁😁😁😁
He said to bath with cold water in the morning for 2 days
one of his best speaks ever. This Vid will survive a looooong time and will help a lot of people to find the right way...Thx WIM
Powerful message and grateful to be able to watch it. Definitely worth it . Thank you 👍
I have been practicing his techniques for a while and I love it and recommend to people all the time :) thanks for sharing. Peace
is there a comprehensive instruction how and what to do
Mr Mawao yes there are on UA-cam and I’m about to make a new one on my channel as well. :)
This guy saved my life ....I wish I had discovered him decades ago ....this will change your life for the better I promise you
How what happened
This is great and iceman is great, I will point out that eastern traditions have been teaching these concepts for well over a millennium. It’s great to see we are all catching up.
I think this is the most impactful video I have ever watched. So much wisdom and this man is a treasure. I hope to meet him one day. Thanks Wim Hof for sharing the knowledge, and thank you Video Advice for providing great content
Basically do the Wim Hof breathing technique
Exhale (not all the way, just get some oxygen out)
Inhale a breath that fills your belly, then your chest, then your head with oxygen
Rinse and repeat 20-30-40 times each set and try to do it for a few sets
Then take cold showers
Start by lowering the cold in your shower gradually if you're taking hot showers, then go to finishing your showers fully cold, then try to go to coldish to cold, then fully cold
There you go , saved your precious time, now feel free to do what I said with that time =]
I am lying here in a ice cold bath after doing 17 minutes of breathing & breath hold, so 20 minutes now. Snow ice & Not shivering, trying the to fix my broken brain (& not throw myself off a cliff either) . I think Won Hof might b able to save me, help change my life. Started only this year - going to do it for a half hour a day (breathing) not the ice - my toes are starting to hurt lol
Love to know why you were “broken” in the first place. Smh
Only just discovered this guy. I'm liking him very much! 👍👏
Keep pushing never quit! Yeah it’s easy to say but the only way to the other side is pushing and never giving up!
Plz don't stop Making videos they really help
itachi uchiha true!
I agree, it helps me grow and try to inspire others myself
Happy Facts Lifestyle
i talked in front of My hole class Because of youtube chanels like this one and it was amazing i enjoyed every second of it💪🏼💪🏼
@@sebastianneimer4594 that's amazing, really great job Sebastian. Here's a little secret, those same things you learn when talking to your class apply to a bigger audience. The biggest audience I've delivered a presentation to was about 300 people, but the same rules apply. It's ironic you mention that, I've been working on one of my upcoming videos and it's all about communicating and speaking to an audience. :)
How? How has your life tangibly and physically changed..?
"It takes only 2 days." Shows up in recommended 2 days later after uploading:))
and it is 5 minutes of nearly nothing ... maybe just a sign post on the path. Otherwise it is mostly a distraction.
Wow!!!...this is GREAT...I've been doing things like this prior to Wim Hoff videos...but NOW I can REALLY tap in to this..knowing the Science behind it!!!
The Iceman is a legend %100. Great video thanks for this!
This is really amazing 🙏🏾thank you for sharing magnificent things with us all.
4:45 Exactly with breathing one can manipulate his physiological parameters like a yogi.
That was amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks🤘
I feel exactly what he is saying. These are the real heros of my world.
I have strong feeling the majority is never going to know who Wim Hof is and his techniques. However in a few generations everyone will know him great dead people are known today. And his techniques will elevate mankind into a new tier
This is one the most helpfull youtube chanels
This is called real motivation...🙏
This guy and David Goggins are very similar. They found and experienced the mind-body connection. Looking up to such people and living their experience with ourselves truly makes life worth living. Thank you.
Pranayam or deep breathing techniques have been taught and practiced in India since 3000 years. You tune yourself in with the cosmos, like a radio. It's must be pretty good to last that long.
@GD Not true, many Hindus practice similar types of breathing exercises...just because you are not aware doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
“What is the real purpose of life, you can not read it in a book, you are the book, you have to open it up”
Wow! What a great quote
Yoguis have been saying this for thousands of years. This breathing technique is called Bhastrika, and Yoguis have been doing this and other more advanced breathing techniques in the Himalayas living in ice-cold weather year-round almost without clothing.....thousands of years ago....but Wim Hof is to be congratulated by bringing this to the light of science. What he teaches is not new, but submitting himself to tests and studies is bold, courageous and a great service to humanity.
Brilliant edit. Your best work yet. I am going to share this with my family.
Wim Hof My Man
The ice man ☺☺☺☺
God bless you,Wim!Thank you for everything!
Wow,3mins watching the video,and I'm just falling in love with this video.that's great
