Wim Hof breathing tutorial by Wim Hof

- Don't take the method and techniques too lightly, they go deep and the effects can have a huge impact.
- Don't do the breathing exercises in a swimming pool, before going underwater, beneath the shower or piloting any vehicle, without proper supervision. Always practice in a safe environment.
- Keep in mind to do the exercises without forcing them, gradually build up, and don't exceed your limits.
- Note that tinnitus symptoms may appear as a result of pushing too forcefully during the breathing exercise. If this happens, take a step back in your future practice, it’s important to increase gradually, not forcefully.

Wim Hof Breathing guided by Wim Hof himself explained with the science behind it. Please always learn from the source, and have the facts right. There is no room for speculation as breathing techniques can mean harm when not practiced right and when done in unsafe environments. Wim always runs his techniques by science. Among the universities; Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Radboud UMC, AMC, Hannover University, and many more!

Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart. I finally tried your method. I've been clinically diagnosed with PTSD anxiety and depression. I have been struggling with alcoholism. Its been so bad that I haven't slept in two days, I punched a big dent in to my car last night. I was on the verge of doing something I'd regret. I did 4 rounds of your technique. It's gone. The urge to drink, the anger, the fear, the anxiety, the sadness is all gone, all of it. I cried tears if relieve and happiness for 15 minutes straight. I can't remember the last time I cried. You just may have literally saved my life. Thank you.

I feel like a viking is teaching me buddhism thank you internet

[bexcronk]

My dad is now completely off his anti depressants and he credits it to Wim's breathing exercises and cold showers. Thank you Wim for helping my dad. I've also started waking up early to include these techniques into my life and not only am I more motivated, I am notably less anxious. This stuff really does work. I hope I'm able to stick to it!

i used this for 3 month straight and finally I could release myself from a 10 year cannabis addiction, thank your sir your technique saved me from throwing my life away without even noticing it

[tyanite]

You saved my life, Wim. Really, you did. My Oxygen saturation was always too low. I felt terrible, looked terrible, could not move well and could not think well. It was getting worse and I was going downhill. Three days is all it took. I have a new life, thanks to you. I owe you everything. Your method will be part of my life for the rest of my life. Sending love every day, and I wish you even more success every day.

I have extreme anxiety. I started this last week and it unbelievable! I started crying and releasing a lot of negative beliefs. Today I did it and then hopped in a cold shower. Oh my goodness! Just stayed in the shower crying and there were the most logical and wonderful thoughts in my head “you are loved” “life loves you” “you are taken care of” and I was in the shower just sobbing and crying. When I got out I felt amazing! Happy, loved, at peace and ready to start an awesome day! Thank you Wim! I’ve had anxiety since I was 7. Now at 44 I see how as a child I locked in certain beliefs and kept them through the decades and how I was finally able to release them. Simply amazing! Thank you again Wim!!

I've only tried this for 3 days, and these 3 days have been the most productive days I have so far in my life. I can now start working early in the morning and does not have to drink coffee to function for the rest of the day. My anxiety dropped to its lowest level. I feel loved. Amazing what this breathing technique brings!!

[dennisv]

This every day, cold showers and meditation cured my social anxiety and depression.

This
Edit: thank you for likes and comments. I gave up drinking alcohol and smoking aswell, also startedy nofap journey 13 days ago. Meditation and soul searching is the key to becoming the person you desire to be, i feel anxious in some situations of course everybody does, but the thing is i dont care about it, it is about self acceptance

[REDACTED-]

Im glad this man isn’t making classes that have to be paid for to teach people a breathing technique. Thank you for everything you share with the world via YouTube!

[mariaforrest]

Thank you Wim!
I am 72 years old lady.
Your method helps me to go through Chemo treatment. And it helps me feeling great and happy!
Cold showers are fantastic and they lift up my mood and body strenth!❤😅
I am practicing for about a half of a year now 😊

[interstellarcontroller]

I've practised my Wim Hof breathing every day for two months and I have benefitted tremendously. They should teach it to children in schools, alongside meditation. My anxiety completely disappears for up to 4 hours after a half hour breathing session. Thanks Wim!

The two things that have had the biggest impact on my life recently are intermittent fasting and Wim Hof breathing. Both as free as the air we breath

[ePostman]

Wim Hof, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Whoever is reading, please take my comment very seriously, it's the absolute truth.
1 hour ago I saw one of your interviews, I knew nothing about this stuff at all.
Then I saw this video, and put it into practice before you finished talking. Here are the results:

1) 1' 56"
2) 2' 31"
3) 2' 26"

Knowing myself I was hoping for 15-30 seconds, and then I was shocked!

I didn't try to push it at all, I didn't force myself, after 20-25 breaths I lost the count and just went with whatever felt natural.
I also missed the part of deep breath and hold in once, but it doesn't matter. At some point I began to tell myself how and when to breath and stop. My ability of thinking changed dramatically when I did this, I didn't feel like thinking too much.

I'm 40 years old, I don't do sports, except for walking, I work in computers, and smoke once in a while, but I usually eat healthy food, don't drink and don't do drugs. However I avoid the cold at all cost, and tend to stay in very warm conditions.

I've been suffering from severe "depression" for 20 years, and I don't want to go into the negative stuff, but in the past I tried medications, supplements, natural remedies, spent all my money, nothing worked. If anything SSRI almost ruined my life.

ALL I KNOW is that after 15 minutes I felt so great, I smiled and laughed for 1 minute or so. People never see me smile, and here I am feeling good alone, writing a long comment on Youtube, because it means something.

So I'm not sure what this technique will do for me in the long term, but it is truly remarkable how it was able to alter my state of mind in such a short time, FOR FREE. I'm not trying to achieve a fraction of what you did, Wim, I just want to be happy again.

The tingling, feeling light and so on were absolutely true. My arms and legs went numb at the second round already.
My hearing became very sharp at some point, I heard some ringing, not much of the visual stuff, but for a few times I was just picturing a human brain, for some reason.

The most important thing that I have learned is how the concept of time changes. Like I said, I can't hold my breath for too long, I get very paranoid and go in panic mode very quickly, so I was hoping to do more than 15-30 seconds. And what I thought were like 30 seconds, were actually 2 minutes.

I still feel a little high while writing this, and I have the impression that my mind and and my mood are "bright" somehow.

Dank je wel Wim Hof.

As a psychotherapist in the US specializing in anxiety I find this method to be extremely useful and helpful.

[hervejean]

Wim is a kind of guy who bring light in the darkness of humanity .

[darshan]

Step 1: Get Comfortable
Step 2: Breath in and out continuously (30-40 times)
Step 3: Breathe out and retain the breath-hold as long as you can, without force
Step 4: After retention, take a deep breath in and hold it for a further 10-15 seconds
Step 5: Repeat the entire process for another three rounds

Just tried this morning. Wow. Feels so weird and I didn't quite get to round 2 but I'll work my way there. I'm gonna combine this with intermediate fasting and see how it does. May edit with results in a couple months.

Edit Day 4: Holy moly. I haven't had a panic attack or even general anxiety since I've been doing this. It feels great. I feel awake and in control. More edits to come maybe.

Edit 1+ month later: Wow. I legitimately don't have panic attacks anymore. When I'm anxious or stressed, I do the breathing and it just melts. Thank you, Wim. This method is incredible.

[gioc.]

I realized that my anxiety is like cold water (it causes stress on my body) so I started to perceive anxiety as something external to me, and when I feel it I imagine it's just cold water...this helps me to don't identify me with my anxiety which therefore disappears quickly! I can handle it like a cold shower..hope this is helpful for someone else :)

High on your own supply. Thank you Mr Wim Hof, you're a crazy genius and you're helping a lot of people to live better lives. God bless you.
