I can’t recommend the cold showers enough, I’ve been doing it every shower for almost a year now and it’s amazing, when I started I would start with lukewarm water and just stick it through and then turn it to ice cold and the feelings it gives me include euphoria, energy, relaxation, refreshed and recovered, but most importantly, ready. Ready to seize the day and in conjunction with Wim’s breathing technique, I promise you it’s life changing. Thank you, Wim 🙏🏽

Do you start with hot then move to cold? Or do you do just cold? I spent 2 years in the mountains just showering with cold water and recently moved into a flat and doing showers from hot to cold, but thinking of switching back to just cold. Thanks!

It really is like a superpower. I used to have depression and anxiety all the time. I started doing the Wim Hof method for about 7 months ago, and i really haven't had a bad day since. It has been life changing. God's honest truth!

That view at the top of Everest overlooking the clouds, sunrise and seeing his emotions also made me a bit emotional. Wim and the human will and spirit are so beautiful.
I was just listening to Mike Posner on my playlist yesterday and wondering where he was. Nice to see you Mike. You look HEALTHY and handsome.
After 33 years of debilitating migraines and no explanation as to what was causing them or how they could be treated I eventually found ice cold showers dramatically stopped my migraines. I've had 3 the past 2 years. I used to get them every week or two. Thanks wim now I can live a normal life agian.
Doing Wim's breathing every day is definitely one of the ways I have overcome stress and anxiety for almost three years now as an older adult. Working up to holding my breath for two minutes is a miracle that I didn't dream of, but it's magical and I am so grateful to Wim. He is a genius. How did he ever develop his methods. He has guidance from above...of this I am sure.

I tried the breathing exercise two nights ago, I've been suffering from back pain for 3 weeks. Haven't been able to walk far without intense pain and I've been so uncomfortable whilst resting. I wasn't expecting much from the breathing exercise but I thought I'd give it a go! My body came alive, the tingling, I could feel the blood rushing through my body... It was the most relaxed I've ever felt. I didn't want to move because I didn't want to lose that feeling lol.. Total relaxed state in slow motion
Dear dear dear Wim! I cannot say how grateful I am to you and to God for you being in this world! I did breathing and cold showers every day for a year and it helped me to cope with enormous anxiety and fear during the covid pandemic. It gave me strength and confidence in my health I never had in my 37 year life. I live in Russia. And now from February 24 the time when whole my familiar world collapsing and every day I find out frightening news from all over the world…I believe that the past version of myself couldn’t resist this fear. And I know that thanks to your AMAZING method I manage to stay calm and live on. God bless you and all the humanity. Elena from Russia with all the best wishes and love. ❤️🌍🌏🌎

I took a breath in Ibiza; To show Wim that I was cold;
When my health watch says my heart is racing or my blood pressure is high I immediately go into his breathing techniques. Instantly I come back to normal. I have been off blood pressure meds for 4 months now and doing great! Life changing
my health was bad and i asked/prayed to GOD for the key that i needed to help me.The next day i went to youtube and seen this video came up Wim Hof breathing.it took me a week to even remember Wim's name.Now i have been doing breathing cold shower for almost one whole year.Thanks GOD for Wim and thanks Wim Hof for your excellence.i love you man !!!!!
I did it for first time 1.5 years ago. I can stay in coldest water in a frozen Canadian lake for 25 minutes usually. But more importantly it helped me start to go inside myself, after a lifetime of running from myself, starting to face my decades of addiction, cptsd, adhd, pure panic. I breathe in & think of three humans beings who inspire me most (Wim is 1 of those 3) & exhale, breathe out the shame, rage, fear & loneliness that has me running for far too long. Luv Wim Hof!
Mike Posner's music and following his journey has changed my life!
Mike's songs helped me deal with depression. Wim helped me feel life in another way, made me better. When I heard that Mike wants to be a WHM instructor I was happy because I feel like he would be a great instructor. One of favorite artists working together with my idol? Definetly perfect combo for me. Love them both ❤️
Beautiful presenation.Thank-You I'm in my 70s I started the breathing Journey for beginners 6months ago and I swear by it. I no longer have nerve damage in my legs, threw away the walking stick. Feel like I'm forty again. I'm working on the cold showers slowly.
I took a cold bath in Poland to show wim hof I was cool, and when I finally got warmer felt 10 times stronger, but fuck it, it's what I love to do!

My two fave ppl coming together! Yessss!!
I'm 6 weeks-in with the breathing and cold showers. Take it from me (a 60 year-old newbie), this stuff works! I was having issues as a result of long covid (primarily horrible chronic fatigue & brain fog). I looked into literally EVERYTHING that might help. By accident, my wife was watching a netflix series called "Goop Factory"? Hope I got that right. At any rate, Wim was featured on the episode she was watching. I sat and watched, and then literally, cold turkey, my wife and I both started the cold showers & breathing technique. We went full-on 10-minute cold showers, only realizing later that you should work your way into those. Hell, if a 60 year-old can do this, you can too! Cold water is not going to kill you! In fact, total opposite! It's like having 10 cups of coffee to get your day going! From about the 2nd day of doing this until present, I've done nothing but improve. I'm back to 'normal' and can do just about any type of exercise with absolutely no problem. All brain fog/fatigue issues are gone. Sleep at night (also a prior issue), is now outstanding! And it also helps with any torn muscle pain you may be experiencing - another benefit I'd not expected (I have a ruptured bicep). Both my wife and I cannot thank Wim enough. Would be awesome to do some research with those suffering from covid side-effects. This stuff is literally the cure!

Hey dude. That's amazing to hear that.

I'm 44 and was super fit before it and like you said I have all of the ongoing symptom's i.e Headaches, fatigue, tingling/pins and needles , brain fog etc Its doing my head (and body in)

Ohhh me too! 😮 I am 60 in a few weeks and I had Covid on New Year’s Eve - I had terrible brain fog I thought I had dementia! I gave up my job. I’ve been trying to throw all the best vitamins in my brain and started working out 45 m a day and doing keto - that made me very weak. The first 3 times I did WHM it bought back terrible black emotions from trauma in the last 3 years ... I was so frustrated- could barely handle The panic attacks ... well I recovered in 3 days and went back to healthy carbs, work out and WHM - well in 2 days something amazing happened - my brain feels like it’s coming back to life and vibrancy- I did more in 2 days than / months - I just hope this is the end of the awful brain fog ! I think my mind let go of some past trauma ! Good luck mate !

But you said it gotten better after a few times? That's great..... I quit the long breath holds and just concentrate on the deep breathing now to make the Covid symptoms get better, like shortness of breath. do you think I should get into the breath holds gradually again???

@@jmact1977 Ease your way back into your workout routine. I was about 1 week into the cold showers and breathing before I started back with the workouts. Even now, I spread my weight training out over the course of the day as opposed all at one time. My typical workout is with weights, 45 minutes-1 hour, 4-5 days/week. I now do 3-4 sessions for approximately 15 minutes/day. I actually prefer this method as opposed to what I used to do (pre-covid). Good luck with your recovery. Once you incorporate the WHM into your daily routine, you'll never want to go back!

@@CryptoKaiser I myself had a few issues when initially doing the breathing exercises, mainly a fear that I'd faint or pass out without someone present to help me if I did. I taught myself to overcome that fear and just let go, relax, and enjoy the trip. If you find you can't hold the breath for the duration, don't force it. Let go of the breath hold and continue.
That is an amazing garden! Great to see the facility and Mike's journey!
Happy to see you evolve into that so joyful being, Mike ! It was there all the time but we have forgotten. On my way too...
Such a beautiful story, thank you for sharing Mike & congrats to your teams summit success & for getting back safely!

This was an encouraging video on the life application of these methods. And that view at the top of everest. Epic. Great video!
The daily breathing session is my treat to me when I awake. The self induced natural highs are addictive and relaxing. The coldest shower where I live is only about 70 F and it is fun. 40 F is a COLD shower and gives me the additional treat of planning how I can make this happen. Thanks Wim.
One of the best videos I saw. Really amazing if you see the sparkle in the peoples eyes (again).
Thank you Wim Hof I feel so much better after a cold 🥶 shower and your guided breathing techniques
Love mike , so switched on and very smart.
I have been doing cold showers for about 3 years but up till now I always started with my feet, then legs...then made my way up to soften the blow. Now I just go in and that's that. No more drama. Just going in for a minimum of 2 minutes. The ice bath is the next one for me. And again without drama. Just do it. I'm 65 and this is the best time of my life. No kidding.

Ребята, Вим Хоф мегакрут!!!! Его техника реально работает! Проверил на себе, улучшения по здоровью великолепные. Знаю что говорю, т.к. я перепробовал много оздоровительных техник, эта - the best!!
This guy sounds really high on life.
All I know is that Wims breathing makes me feel better every single time I use it. I've used it kind of sporadicly but literally everyime I try it I feel better.
I've found that adding about 2-5 milligrams of edible Delta-9 really enhances the experience. Taking it after the breathing and directly prior to entering the water. The relaxation sensation in your core is phenomenal in about an hour and a half time after completion. I know Wim may discourage it, yet it gives the outcome of the breathing and cold immersion more depth to me. Not too much to get you 'loopy' yet to hit that 'zen' sweet spot. The clarity of mind lasts for about half a week I've found. I've also limited caffeine to only three or so times weekly and it enhances what takes place during a session as well. I never do coffee and only consume it in teas with lower amounts.
Amen we are Free!

Couple of coincidences: I was born in Nepal myself, since he mentioned Mount Everest (never been anywhere near the Himalayas though, like most Nepalese people). And the name Mike Posner is familiar because I heard one of his songs when I lived in Ohio. Anyway, I'm terrified of the cold. I don't have an ice bath or know anyone who has an ice bath. It would be cool to go to Poland and meet Wim (no pun intended). These are my types of people - the tribe I never had. I've never even swam in a lake, and that bums me out!
