the Wim Hof method

for those of you who are unaware.
this method, a simple breathing method changed my life completely.
[goes well with cold showers. I usually do it before taking one.]

 

there are a lot of other detailed resources which I'm sure y'all will be able to find, but this one video is where I started it all from. also be sure to watch the safety instruction video in the description first.

 

@Slimjimjones haha yeah, it's one of the things on my daily to-do list. it makes my whole day go good

 

@op_jack heya, jack! I'll tell you some of the most noticeable benefits I've experienced with the wim hof method.

whenever I do the wim hof method, it relieves me of all of my stress and helps me relax. Relaxing helps me get things done more efficiently too!
prior to learning the method, my meditation concentration time would be around a petty minute or so, but after learning the method and doing it daily, my times are now increasing and the quality of my concentration has improved significantly.
it gives me a better sounder sleep too, and since it does so, my energy is far greater throughout the day!

however, jack, I would not know clearly why you are not witnessing the benefits, perhaps you will after you do it daily for some time?
most importantly, do not do it if you feel uncomfortable whilst doing it.
in any case, I would recommend seeing a doctor before doing it, and please know that most 'certified' wim hof instructors will not be able to teach you the method the right way. only trust sources that come from wim hof himself.

 

alrighty, wish you the best, @op_jack !

 

@PMO addict1 alrighty! I'll try to take a hand here.

let me ask you some questions, my friend

do you completely relax (lie down / sit comfortably) before starting the rounds?
do you breathe in with your nose and breathe out with your mouth?
do you completely follow the audiovisual guide with breathing in when the circle expands and breathing out when the circle retracts with no pause between your breaths?

I'll try my best to help you, my friend

 

@PMO addict1 hmm, then you are pretty much doing right, except the video rewinding, I think.
I'll recommend you to not rewind and follow the normal way, and see if it works better.

a conclusive remark can be that a few people are not 'compatible' with the wim hof method, but I'd still recommend seeing a CERTIFIED wim hof instructor in person to see if they can fix this.

 

@PMO addict1 it depends on every person, like for a friend of mine, he started seeing most of the benefits after a week or so, while I myself started seeing most of the benefits from day 1.
