Breathing: Learn how to breath properly

This is a mini class teaching you the power of breathing provided by Wim Hof. Should you jump in?

WHY WE BREATHE

Regulated by the autonomic nervous system, inhaling oxygen is an unconscious process. Fortunately it’s an unconscious praxis, otherwise we simply wouldn’t have a break, as we’d have to deal with it incessantly.

The amount of oxygen that we inhale through our breathing, influences the amount of energy that is released into our body cells.

On a molecular level, this progresses via various chemical and physiological processes. Breathing is the easiest and most instrumental part of the autonomic nervous system to control and navigate.

In fact, the way you breathe strongly affects the chemical and physiological activities in your body. Throughout the years, Wim Hof has developed special breathing exertions that keep his body in optimal condition and in complete control in the most extreme conditions.

The breathing technique is first and foremost premised on inhaling deeply and exhaling without any use of force!

TRY IT OUT!

Wim Hof Method breathing is simple and easy — everyone can do it! Just follow the steps below. We recommend practicing right after waking, or before a meal, when your stomach is still empty.

Note that WHM breathing can affect motor control and, in rare cases, lead to loss of consciousness. Always sit or lie down before practicing the techniques. Never practice while piloting a vehicle, or in or near bodies of water.

WARNING: ALWAYS DO THE BREATHING EXERCISE IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT (E.G. SITTING ON A COUCH/FLOOR) AND UNFORCED. NEVER PRACTICE IT BEFORE OR DURING DIVING, DRIVING, SWIMMING, TAKING A BATH OR ANY OTHER ENVIRONMENT/PLACE WHERE IT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS TO FAINT. THE BREATHING EXERCISE HAS A PROFOUND EFFECT AND SHOULD BE PRACTICED IN THE WAY IT IS EXPLAINED.

Breathing Technique Step-by-Step:

  • Step 1: Get Comfortable
  • Step 2: Start to breathe. Fully in (nose/mouth) then let go (mouth), continuously, 30-40 times
  • Step 3: Last breath – breathe out, emptying the lungs. Hold for as long as you can (no force)
  • Step 4: After the hold, take a deep breath in and hold for 10-15 seconds
  • Step 5: Repeat the entire process for another 2 or 3 rounds

Breathing Technique Tips

  • Relax. A relaxed body on an empty stomach absorbs more oxygen
  • Feel. Don’t get too hung up on counting, feel how your body responds
  • Observe. Record your thoughts and retention times (but remember it’s not a competition)

Breathing properly is important to have a good health. We hope that you’ve learned some simple tips to help enjoy your life and reverse the liver damage fatigues.
