Hey Kitaro! My friend and I have been getting into the Whim Hoff breathing technique. We are huge into this building willpower and becoming better lifestyle. I'm huge on David Goggins and what he says. I really appreciate these videos and the breathing videos. Its really cool to see you as an example to follow. I'm also working on motivational youtube videos as well. I'll be tuned into your channel and Whim Hoffimg everyday. Today is day 3. Thank for your time.

It has been 5 years now, as I enter the age of 30, I have lost 45kgs of fat, built resiliency, and confidence I thought I've never had. Nothing builds a healthy man and his behaviours better than the state of Hormesis. I'm just happy to be able to realize and experience it at the age of 25. Next goal is to master the handstand! Hopefully by the age of 35. Thank you for sharing these insights, since you don't have to, but still do.

Thanks for sharing your inspiring journey

Appreciate how you don't have the method as the center of your universe. 🤗 Whenever I watch your videos I love the way your calm mindfullness bearing and your background make a soothing difference in our often times loud domain. Thank you Kitaro.

.. i could say so much, but Just Thank you body ❤

Enjoy listening to your thoughtful insights. I've come to the conclusion breath work is very much like learning a martial art. Once the penny drops you realise this is not about breaking retention records but a lifetime practice. Keep up the great content.

Yes. So you have encapsulated my thoughts on this. I've struggled with willpower management for quite some time. But through my growing/ongoing breath/cold/mindset work, though I still struggle, I have become more resilient in terms of how I motivate myself when unmotivated or "lazy". All of this is really a practice, a constant learning. Even when I feel like I have sunk too deeply into routine, I manage to break out through cultivating my awareness. Again, thank you for your insights!

Brother, have you ever experimented with doing double inhales on the hyperventilation part of the wim hof breathing? Hubes claimes the physiological sigh to be the fastest way to get rid of excess co2. From my experience when i do double inhale and a mid range exhale rhythmically, i do get the tingling consistently after 30-45 seconds in. Really cuts time and feels effortlessly compared to regular 2 minute hard in and exhales. Much love.

I’m not sure this would work that well because the reason for the double inhale is to unlodge more c02 so you can do a long exhale to get more out, without the long exhale the double inhale seems redundant Kinda strikes me as mixing the two and ending up diluting them both. I could be wrong tho ofc

@@user-kn1qi5sf9w hey that sounds quite logical. I always thought about longer exhales increasing CO2 because you're going to be more in a hypoxic state, as buteyko claims. On the other hand, kitaro already stated that while doing Wim Hof, longer exhales rather calm you down and do not work so well for hyperventilating. The whole gas exchange theory still confusing tbh. If hyperventilation is the result of expelling more CO2, then long exhales would be the way to go. Anyways, I do experience that the double inhales help me hyperventilate, if I keep the exhalation short and rhythmically. I think "In, in, Out" while having drums playing or so. Like I said, beams me into seeing random colors in under a minute. Thanks for your insight!

It depends what you want from your breathwork mate. The whole idea behind WHM is not just the lowering of CO2 via hyperventilation but also the activation of the sympathetic nervous system DURING the hyperventilation stage. The reason you get the effects during the breath hold stage is because of a combination of increased adrenaline having been released plus the intermittent hypoxia (short term lowering of blood oxygen saturalion) that happens when you hold your breath on empty lungs. If you do some huberman breaths before the breath hold instead, what will happen is you'll not activate the sympathetic nervous system (ie release adrenaline) as much so the effects from the breath hold might feel different even though your still getting intermittent hypoxia as before. Simply put, its not really the Wim Hof method if you do huberman breaths during the hyperventilation... But that's not to day this version of a breathwork practice doesn't have its own benefits and subtle differences that are worth exploring. It just won't "enhance" your WHM breathwork because you've changed the physiological state that gets produces by altering the breathing during hyperventilation. I.e you've started doing a different method altogether. But breathwork is WAY MORE than just WHM guys! Check out other methods, there's some other great techniques out there that do different but equally amazing things to you. I'd suggest checking out Soma Breath by Niraj Naik. He does a variation of the WHM which i find is quite interesting. His thing is basically coherent (rhythmic) breathing for longer periods of time but less intensity, so less hyperventilation, followed by breath holds. You can honestly hold your breath just as long doing this as the WHM, in spite of maybe lowering CO2 less, but you don't get as much sympathetic activation at the start so the feeling is more peaceful but maybe less intense. Different methods for different moods I guess. Enjoy

Love the video production and editing! Your channel just keeps growing and it is inspiring to see 🫶🏽 wishing you continued success
