This guy (Wim Hof) is fascinating - Imagine hiking in sub-zero weather in shorts and boots ONLY without issue!
Wim Hof Breathing Method -
Meditative seated position - 1st thing in the morning – Keep Supreme Focus
30 - Super Deep Breaths – smooth circle style – imagine blowing up a balloon -
on the 31st Breath – Hold Deep Breath till gasp – force it into heart, neck and head – exhale slowly
Repeat total cycle 3 more times -
Cold Practice -
Gradually build up to this, using no force to train your body's reaction -
Relax into process – be with the cold – body will adapt and start thermogenesis -
Recommendation:
- At the end of a warm shower do 15-30 seconds cold, starting at the feet, working up the body to the neck and back – NOT Head just yet… Be present!
- Initial shock, shivering and hyperventilation is normal! Use the Deep Breath cycle!
- Close your eyes and try to embrace the cold – AAER - You Will Get Stronger over time (14 days min)!
- Heavy Shivering, Numbness or Pain – Warm Immediately!
- Eventually the cold will become normal feeling and you may begin to feel amazing afterwards.
