    I am homeless, I live in my car. After losing my young mother suddenly to death, my husband leaving me unexpectedly, being forced to sell my home after divorce, losing a lucrative job I'd fought for, and losing my extended family who turned their backs on my children and I after my mother's death in 2023... I didn't care to live, but I couldn't take my life. I had no will to fight to live...I didn't care one way or another about life...as a matter of fact, I beckoned death...he didn't come for me. I packed my car and left the town that I grew up in and moved to Texas, where I drive Uber and live in my car and try my best to LIVE again. Up until now, I've only gone through the motions of life. Meaning, I feel nothing, not even pain, or the bad emotions. I just tried the thing where Wim said exhale and hold your breath, and from first try, my heart BEAT thunderously and I felt SHOCK. 2nd time my brain recalled all the trauma of last year in 2 seconds, and tears welled up in my eyes. 3rd time, I was balling, crying so deeply...like I've never cried before in my life...and now I FEEL EVERYTHING!! My mind seems UNBLOCKED!! I can THINK, FEEL,....EXIST RIGHT HERE WHERE MY FEET ARE. whereas before, life felt unreal...like I was gone...not here!.. I'm intrigued!! How can I do more with this?

      Winter is a season that often brings a deep sense of gratitude for its unique beauty and profound quietude. The cold, crisp air carries a refreshing clarity, and the blanket of snow that often covers the landscape transforms everything into a serene, white wonderland. This season encourages us to slow down, offering a time for reflection and introspection as the world outside rests. The warmth of a cozy home becomes more appreciated, and the joys of simple pleasures, like sipping hot cocoa by a crackling fire or watching snowflakes drift gently from the sky, feel even more special. Winter's chill fosters a closeness among loved ones, as we gather together for warmth and comfort. It’s a time that reminds us of the importance of rest and renewal, providing a natural pause that allows us to be thankful for the quiet moments and the gentle beauty of a world at peace.

Me, powerful? I would have never said so, but heating Wim talk about how we all have a power within we've forgotten about, it helped.

    Wim Hof is amazing! For four years I am struggling with depression. I took cold showers for 3 months and my mind was better than ever. I took increasingly colder showers until it was only cold water, for 10 minutes every day. I started to automatically do breathing exercises because of the shock. The breathing exercises are the ones increasing the body temperature. It was amazing. I stopped because something personal happened and I didn't have the energy to take cold showers anymore. When I was taking them, my body temperature increased in anticipation of my cold showers, I know it may seem crazy, but I was yelling in the shower and I could feel my cortizol level decreasing (stress hormone). When I think now of my cold showers I remember how it would calm me greatly. Today I will start my cold showers again. Healing comes in cycles, it's ok to to have ups and downs. Thank you Wim Hof!

    Luckily, my spouse and I were able to pay off our mortgage early. We took the money we were spending to accelerate our mortgage repayment and invested it right away while we were both still working. We were able to retire early after accumulating what would have been our home payment for over 7 years and maxing out our 401K/403B plans. Thankfully, both of our parents taught in us the importance of living within our means.

That day after the breathing exercises and cold water therapy I went from attacks every day to 1 or 2 a year and I can deal with them because of wims method. If you suffer, try it.

    I didnt want anything repressed. He meant more to me that i couldve ever imagined. i thought it was only right that i never short changed my emotions for him.
    The cold and active breathing taught me to consciously confront all the feelings inside and out. I leaned into the cold and bathed in all emotions. I embraced it all while actively letting all the thoughts and feelings flow through me.
    Although i know ill always miss him, it really helped me through each of those days all the way through to months afterwards.

      He did not "invent" these various types of breathing. If it helps someone feel good great. Don't forget he also advocates hyperventilating in water which has had lethal consequences. He's just a man and a flawed one at that. He shouldn't be viewed as a saint. He didn't go into the fact he walked away from all his young children to go live a selfish rouge existence when they had no mother.

    Steve, listening to Wim about his beautiful wife who committed suicide, it dawned on me that she may have had severe post partum depression. This incident, his grief traumatised him to such an extent that he can withstand intense cold. I may be wrong but listen to the pain in his voice, it's real.

      He said she had schizophrenia. She was a squatter when he met her. Many squatters (obviously not all) have severe mental illness and/or drug addiction. He said his wife had schizophrenia and bipolar, which today is called schizoaffective disorder. That combination of mental illnesses is very devastating with a high rate of suicide. Wim said she wanted to have another child but he told her she had to get mentally healthy first. A year later she committed suicide. Their youngest child was 7 years old at the time of her death. It wasn't postpartum depression in her case, although that can be a serious mental illness as well.

      There are certain types of pain that are not ever fully gone from your psyche and soul. You learn ways to cope with and overcome the trauma, even turn some of it around and help others heal from their trauma or pain. In other words the parts of your experience that you learn to heal and live with in a healthy and productive way becomes part of who you are. Don’t try to get rid of the trauma or pain. Learn how you can heal from it and help others to find some inner peace. We are all different people and we all need unique paths to heal. You have to try things until you find what works for you

No one method has all the answers, but he is definitely correct about saying that human beings have a tremendous potential and we know nothing about it. We have the power through breathing to activate the parasympathetic system which relaxes and repairs. Also the awareness of the power of words is astonishing, every world resonates in the body and effects the biochemical mechanics of all the systems of the body. So we have to tap into this potential, I certainly have done it.

    The best interview I've seen with Wim being really open and even a bit vulnerable in all his strength.

    Oh, Wim ! Always puts a smile on my face. Cold baths and breathing exercises helped me to get off steroids for my chronic bronchitis. Thank you Wim!

    0:17 Just for the Protocol: That is the Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and NOT the Everest. He also did not run up in underwear but just put it one for a picture on the top. And just for the facts. I was there with him. His guide John is a good friend!

    Ohhhh so nice to see the one and only Wim Hof popping up again. 😮
    His charisma is more captivating that the breathing method itself. ❤

    I know you speak about your insecurities and fears sometimes Stephen but it all just seemed like hidden stuff, buried away, that you were talking about. Seeing how awkward you felt not being behind that desk is comforting and has increased my respect and feeling of connection.
    Keep on with the great content bro! And thank you.

      And to add to my comment above. Thankyou so much for this podcast, giving a greater and deeper understanding of Wim and his method. I really enjoyed this episode, the insights and the realisation of the possibilities for me as a human.

      The intensity comes from mastery of trauma over many years. Youth would be wise to learn from thier elders.
