Wim Hof method

Wim Hof is an exceptional man, daredevil, and holder of 21 world records. Many involving pushing his body and mind to the furthest limits.

He has learned to use breathing, cold showers, and the idea of belief to bring about great physiological changes. His method has been confirmed by several scientific studies through out the recent years.

The breathing technique involves breathing in fully and letting go of the air, then again, again, about 50 times until your body is tingling with vibration due to the body having increased oxygen levels.

Then you sit in the cold. Cold shower preferably. It trains the cardiovascular system and the system that flows blood aroubd the body. All 20,000km of it.

The belief is the most important part. He really stresses not forcing, just letting go and believing.

Look up wim hof method in Google and it will all come right up.


His method has been known to help numbers of people with all sorts of diseases and conditions. Lots of autoimmune diseases, etc. It effects many systems of the body positively, one being are autonomic nervous system.

My question is do you guys see this in the TMS tool box? All questions, comments, and criticism is welcomed.

Personally, it helps me a lot. It is a daily discipline that connects me to the deepest parts of my physiology. I feel the increased o2 levels help me with energy and pain reception. I do not feel pain after. At all actually. For quite some time. I use my mind to move around the o2 in my body, to the spots of blockage. It is quite an amazing technique that I think everyone should try.

 

hey joe,
just to add to your discussion: http://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/more-scientific-evidence-wim-hof-the-iceman.4521/ (more scientific evidence.... Wim Hof, the Iceman)

I'd say, go for it. TMS and Wim's method lean greatly on believe; having faith in the abilities of your own body. I contemplated applying the cold shower technique, but my thermostat shower tap is kinda messed up, so it won't turn cold....
