Acid Aura (aka Alan Johnson) is a young musician based in Yokohama, Japan, who claims that his songs are still in the very early stages. If that’s so, the delicately warm and soothing tracks, “We The Pagan” and “Am I Memory” show a great amount of potential for the future." - PORTALS

As a Finn, your simplification ignores the warnings we had. Don't jump straight to an icy lake from Sauna or you might get a heart attack or drown. Many people cool down a bit before jumping to ice water. And for some people, enough cooldown is walking in freezing temperatures from sauna to shore and end of the pier.

Great video, but you have made a lot of mistakes that you could have just researched in about 3 minutes. Hrv is the measure between two successive beats of the heart, not the difference between rhr and he while exercising. Also, as many told you, you got the breathing, and the technique wrong. Please do more research when putting out videos, because it can affect people that wayhj and blindly belive it.

I'm blown away by how powerful Wim Hoff's method is and I feel so so much better since I started doing this. The cold showers are hard, but I start breathing rapidly to bring up my body temperature. But, very quickly I feel so much better. Less stressed psychologically for hours afterwards. And I've noticed my thinking is clearing up. Brain fog is less, breath is stronger, and I hurt less overall. Joints, muscles, and psychosocial pain is significantly less. I'm loving this therapy that costs Nothing and benefits the body.

@gm2407

I did the guided breathing exercise Wim has on youtube it was not clear not to fully exhale and the graphic isn't helpful with that either as it shrinks to where it was on empty. The most important thing he does say is appears later in the video he said if you need to breath than breath don't keep holding your breath. Don't force it.

The ambiguity is dangerous if it needs to be stated before the guidance "we are going to inhale 30 times when you exhale just let the air go but do not fully exhale." Then it should be explicitally stated.

Its good to say "Wim Hoff Breathing" but we should also recognize that he learnt this from Yoga, so that people will have more access to all these types of breathing techniques.
There are tons of breathing techniques in yoga meditation, Wim Hoff has said in one of his videos that he learnt from yoga. I my self is doing very similar techniques for over 25 years.
I have not gone to such extremity but it's the same. I just do not want people to be side tracked and start on following only this technique as there are many other available and easier than this one.

Ive been doing the Wim Hof method on and off for a couple of years . it makes me feel so alive and well , within and mentally strong . Wim says to breath fully in but not fully out , he says just let the breath go , then fully in again and so on , for abut 40 to 90 + breaths , depending on your experience level , the last breath let it out and hold without air in your lungs , the longest i have held is 4 minutes but it takes a lot of practice and while holding strange feelings happen like being disconnected from reality its weird , Wim says you activates the pineal gland , So if your feeling depressed unhappy , lifeless , besides personally knowing the Lord ,the Wim Hof method will fix it , i vouch for it , Cold showers after the breathing exercises take it to a whole new level

The dizziness and tingling comes from oxygen deprivation (Bohr effect). Your blood is saturated with oxygen, but the oxygen doesn't get into your muscles and tissue because the CO2 is missing. Once you hold your breath the CO2 builds back up (that's why you can hold your breath for so long after the hyperventilation breathing.

@Kakatawaga

@@Kakatawaga O2 and CO2 are in a constant balance. by heavy breathing out, you push the CO2 level to an extreme low (regarding concentration curve), while your O2 level is normal. BUT the bodys reflex for breathing is triggered by the CO2 concentration. Getting to this "alert level" in CO2 blood concentration from this extrem low you created in the first place takes a while. But while the CO2 builds back up, your O2 conc. is going down... and the increased timeperiod without oxygen intake leads to a critical low O2 saturation and this is the reason you get dizzy or even pass out.

Sten, i appreciate your videos and presentations very much. I was pleasantly surprised to see you cover Wim Hof breathing. I'm been practicing it for 2 years now. A couple of corrections. Wim, does not recommend exposing yourself to cold in a 'shocking' manner. Rather, to work your way into it. For instance, It took me a couple of months, but i started out gradually by turning my shower water temp from warm to cool to cold. Now I can walk into an ice cold sower and it is not a shocking experience. Secondly is the breathing. In your video you mention that with Wim Hof breathing, we are 'forcing' out. Not so. Actually, a deep breath is taken in from the stomach, but instead of pushing / forcing it out, you just let it naturally out. In fact, you do not try and push out the remaining air. And, while 3 rounds are good, it depends on the individual. I can get away with 2 rounds of breathing, or sometimes 4 rounds to go deep. Thank you for covering Wim. There is a lot of published science and it's great that you covered it.

The next day I did the 30 breaths and to my amazement, I did 30 push-ups. I now do this every other day and yesterday got up to 50 push-ups. It's incredible. I had thought about the cold shower, but I'm a softie in the present cold winter, so I'm happy to know that fasting, which I do anyway, is a suitable substitute.

I wish you a merry Christmas and the very best for 2021.

After 3 minutes and up (of full retention) you reach another level of consciousness.The mind is transcended and the upper bodies activate.The state is euphoric and you can reach it every time by practice.I think you can safely say that the longer you maintain your breath the more your consciousness awakes BUT it has to be done in perfect harmony,both the inhale and the exhale,not to be forced

I agree, I’ve been doing this now for 12 days and love it, can’t wait until tomorrow. We just have to listen and be kind to our bodies, we are not all the same. I stopped one of my breathing rounds because I felt dizzy, maybe that day I was extra tired or something. I do now have stone cold showers. I’ve noticed that I can go somewhere else during the breathing technique, I get a little lost when I’m holding my breath as to which way I’m gonna go next, in or out. 😂😂

no, that feeling is just your de oxygenated brain.

I have the WHM app, and do 5 rounds every day (40 breaths) - got to 3 minutes the other day! He has exercises on the app. as well, like doing push-ups without breath. This has helped with my Meniere's Disease, as it is making me feel stronger and calmer. I lie, propped up, on the bed. Wim Hof is the man!

Wim Hof metod is great, it works just like excercise; intense stress during a short time. Excercise should also be short and intense, 5 min high intense interval training is much better than a 1h steady pace jog.

Also cold showers are great, really gives you energy. Also Wim actually recommended 2-3 min cold shower for the health benefits, not 15 min. Training is good for health competing is not.

It's not possible to get same benefits from high intense interval training as 1h jog. In low heart rate training you cause stretching effect to heart muscle. Higher heart rate just makes it stronger, but it's capacity doesn't get any bigger.

There is nothing new in HIT or crossfit type trainining, such things has been tried out in 1950s, and studied thoroughly long ago. Don't bring any good results for sports. Of course you see great benefits if you do only two months study, which is it exactly how long you get benefits from high intensity training. Then it plateaus.

5 min training time is ok if training sucks like HIT does, but when training is fun, I would rather do it for 1 hour or more.

Thank you for posting this. I have been doing the W Hof breathing and cold showers for 9 months. I am so grateful for this. Your video today anwered some of my questions regarding ice baths and I resonnate wirh your suggestion of hot and cold. I.e. I take a minute of warm to really hot shower and then up to three minutes as cold as possible. Again, thanks so much for your explanation!

Best video on the web about this subject! I was wondering if I was doing any damage when I tried the cold showers. I stopped, but now will return to them. I also had questioned if doing this with heat was bad or good. All explained well here. I am not sure HIIT is necessary but I understand the concept. I feel the fasting is a very huge part of being healthy as the healthiest people on earth eat the least amount of food it seems. Oddly my wife was questioning just a few days ago about the Sauna to Cold purpose and why it is done! I didn't have an answer. Then I found this video.

I love this method! I think the public should be aware, however, that if you have a history in your family of aneurysms then you must be very careful with going between hot and cold too rapidly. It can cause an eruption if you have inherited that gene of aneurysms.

This video is one of the best I've ever seen at explaining HRV, the WIM Hoff methodology, and the sympathetic, parasympathetic nervous system. I was trained in a type of breathing that creates coherence like described in this video. And it's based on deep, rhytthmic breathing. This sets the heart into a smooth wavelike pattern called coherence, where all things are possible!

@DrGreen_420

Two of my gurus in one video, excellent! The one thing I've always considered underemphasized by Wim is the fact that he has been on an OMAD diet for most of his life (although not keto at all, a vegetarian). Many who follow him do not realize just how much benefit Wim's diet brings him and believe that following his method alone will result in the same amazing health Wim has. In reality you need to do both, just like he does. I really wish Wim would be louder about his life long fasting and include it in general as part of his teachings, as in my opinion IF has helped him just as much to achieve his many world records as his method did. In that sense, Wim is also a Dr. Ekberg follower :-D ...and for myself, I follow both.

As said before, when you do the Wim Hof method you don't fully breath out. You Inhale fully, from the stomach all the way up to your brain and then you exhale just by letting go, NO force, not fully exhale. I think it's very important that the information is correct. All the other information was both inspiering and interesting. Thanks!

I'm facing open heart bypass surgery soon and have been doing the 3 round Wim Hof breathing exercise. My coronary arteries are blocked to the point they can't use stents to open them up. So now I'm making a concerted effort to do this daily. My theory is by increasing the blood oxygen saturation it helps make up the deficit of the clogged arteries. I bought a pulse oximeter that shows the %O2 and the pulse rate. When doing the breath hold at the end of each round, I notice my 02% is 99-100% especially on the 1.5 minute hold. I'm also getting my lungs ready for general anesthesia and post op recovery. I really welcome any comments from health professionals on my approach. Cheers to all. Bob

@lexv4894

I am not a health professional, but as you are facing open heart by-pass surgery soon i assume you have spoken to one recently. I you have watched this video and also listened and understand the Wim Hof method you should realize that it is seeking out stress on purpose. I do not think seeking out stress is a good think in your condition. I urge to think twice and actively consult your doctor about this. This means calling them and discussing your ideas. Don't just wait for someone to reply on your comment you placed on a random youtube video to get this kind of advice. Just hope your hart is still beating to enable you to read this.

Hope your surgery went well. People now are using stem cell therapy to clean out arteries! Also, shock wave therapy is being used to clean arteries!! I know that’s not going to help you but pass it on. I believe though you can still use the stem cell to build up that heart and arteries!! R 3 stem cell had patient testimony on using stem cell to clean his arteries! He
Had total healing when he went back to have doctors review with cat scan! FYI good day
