  • This is a slower paced Wim Hof Method breathing exercise that starts with a 30 seconds hold building up to 90 seconds breath hold. Very suitable for beginners or anyone who prefers a more gentle guidance.
    !! Don't do the breathing exercises in a swimming pool, before going underwater, beneath the shower, or piloting any vehicle. Always practice sitting or lying down in a safe environment. 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 !!

    This Breathing Bubble is an audiovisual guide that helps you maintain rhythm and pace during your breathing sessions. Simply watch the bubble as it expands and contracts, and follow with your breath. You'll hear Wim breathe alongside you, and entrancing background sounds help tune out your surroundings, allowing you to focus on nothing but your breath.

      You’re in the right place 🙏💚 also I really recommend getting the 1 Giant Mind App and doing their meditation. They make it completely free for everyone to help the world. It changed my life so much when I was going through a lot of anxiety and depression. I was so anxious that half of my face would go numb to give you an idea. For some reason that’s how it manifested in my body but this breathing technique along with that meditation and somatic experiencing has reduced the anxiety by 80% I would say.

    When my relationship ended, I felt like my world was crumbling around me. The pain was so intense that it was almost tangible, like a heavy weight pressing down on my chest. I didn't know how to cope, how to move forward, until I stumbled upon Wim Hof's breathing technique.
    At first, I was skeptical. How could something as simple as breathing possibly help me through this agony? But I was desperate, willing to try anything to find relief from the relentless ache in my heart. So, with nothing to lose, I gave it a shot.
    As I sat there, following Wim Hof's instructions, something incredible happened. With each deep breath, it was as if a wave of calm washed over me, soothing the turmoil within. For the first time since the breakup, I felt a sense of peace, however fleeting it may have been.
    But I didn't stop there. I made a commitment to myself to practice this breathing technique every day, no matter how painful it felt at first. And slowly, but surely, I began to notice a shift. The pain didn't disappear overnight, but it became more manageable. I could breathe a little easier, think a little clearer.
    What surprised me most, though, were the physical benefits. I had always heard about the mind-body connection, but I never truly understood it until now. With each inhale, I could feel tension melting away from my body, leaving me feeling lighter, more energized.
    But perhaps the most profound change of all was the way it helped me reconnect with myself. In the midst of heartache, it's easy to lose sight of who you are-to become defined by your pain. But through this practice, I rediscovered my inner strength, my resilience.
    Today, as I look back on that dark period of my life, I am filled with gratitude for the role that Wim Hof's breathing technique played in my healing journey. It wasn't a quick fix, nor was it a cure-all. But it was a tool-a lifeline-that helped me navigate the stormy seas of heartbreak and emerge stronger on the other side. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

    My husband and I have been doing this method for around 4 months.. It has become part of our daily lives.. We have included it during our morning rituals..We watch this video each time...I love hearing his encouraging words.. I admit to hearing them during the day... I'll take a deep breathe, "You are doing fantastic".. ""give it all you got".. And when I need uplifting... "you are doing okay".
    The ten minutes to do this practice is well worth it. I have only been able to hold my breathe the full 90 seconds a few times. I was diagnosed with COPD... I did a lung test after 3 months and clearly it shows how strong my lungs have become..
    ... Thank you Wim.. You have made a difference in our lives. Bless you.💙

I want to persevere too, can not do it anywhere else but my ventilated room before breakfast but I've been feeling great.

    From someone who didn't believe in this kinda stuff.
    It actually helped me get out of bed in the morning, when I was being mentally weak and I suppose suffering from a form of depression.
    I have been away from it for nearly 2yrs ,as life has been and is great.
    Now I'm back..not due to any negatives. But because I'm seeking some mental clarity and good health.

Today he is saving my life again...I have found myself suddenly homeless for the first time in my life, and I restarted returning to the breath...I get fearful and anxious everyday, but Wims breathwork reminds me that I am safe in this moment and there is hope.

      Yes, I did. This is my third month and I still only hold my breath for 30 seconds at a time in each Round. I don't care if I'm not able to hold for one minute. I did hold it for 45 seconds the other day and I thought my head was going to explode. So, just keep at it, do what you can, and you will be able to do a little more as you keep working on it.

      @@GunnWrights Hi, I just wanted to say that, especially the very first time I did this breathing, I also hyperventilated and it was scary because I did not know that that was a normal reaction. I somehow kept going, and was able to discover the good feeling of the breath hold part, and then, for me, the hyperventilation stopped after a few more sessions. Though I have, even in childhood, seemed to have less stamina than other people, I've not been diagnosed with a breathing condition.

      @@VonnieHendrex-gx8oc You know, there's another interview or recorded breathing session (can't remember which) with Wim where he really emphasizes how you absolutely should take a breath when you feel the need, that that doesn't mean anything "bad," and that trying to hang on for dear life is counterproductive. You seem to have realized that yourself, but one thing I wish about this video for beginners, is that he'd made that more clear. He does mention that "it's OK," in the second round, but I wish he'd more explicitly say, something like, "this is not about competition; take a breath whenever you need to; it won't take away from the benefits."

I've been horribly depressed and anxious this last year, I've been unable to afford my medication since my insurance ran out, and I'm just overwhelmed by the feelings I've been having.

I don't know what it's like to suffer chronic headaches or migraines; never had a migraine. But all I can say is try this! You've got nothing to lose. It's free medicine. And if it works, well...

    This has been such a blessing for me! 20 years of SSRI use and brain fog, psychosis when I got off in Nov 2022 and a year and a half of trying other antidepressants and bezos that caused painful and even suicidal ideation toward the end. On one of my worst days, I had this thought to look up ice baths - as I had heard of them before - and went home, filled the tub with cold water and ice and painfully got in. It has been trial and error, but eventually, I just chopped a hole through the ice in my pool and went right in. Now the ice is out, I am taking cold showers and looking at getting a freezer. The WHM has been a gift from God.

    My four year old autistic son wakes up early and usually sits on the couch while I practice my breath work.
    The other day, when I was done, I offered to put on one of his cartoon shows, and instead he asked to watch your breath work tutorial, and he did all three rounds.

This was the first time I've ever tried his breathing technique. I'm 41, been smoking a pack a day for 20+ years and while I had trouble keeping up with him I was so surprised I did and more surprised I held my breath as long as required. When he said what he said about feeling the blood flow through the veins, I felt that. Literally. And at that very moment. I hope I can motivate myself to do this daily.

I'm 73, just starting, and yeasterday I could only do 3 of these easy, old lady pushups! I'm born and raised in the 50s in San Antonio, Texas, in a heat wave and a drought. I now live in Northern Colorado, and I've suffered with the cold for 36 years here. I'm committed to getting more comfortable here and also to getting stronger.

I also now meditate, do grounding, (it’s been scientifically proven to work) watch what I ‘feed’ myself (food, words, movies/tv, music, surroundings) do affirmations, journaling, as it definitely influences my moods. It may all sound odd; I was a pessimistic skeptic so I didn’t believe it myself, but..
