The Wim Hof Method to boost your immune system

The Wim Hof ​​Method method revealed

The Wim Hof ​​Method is similar to the Tummo Method (inner warmth) and Pranayama (yoga breathing). However, it is quite different. Although Wim has been reading many yoga and meditation books and practiced for many years, his techniques comes mainly from what he calls "cruel nature." Putting himself alone in harsh natural conditions, he learned to bear the extreme forces of cold, heat, and fear. If you learn the method or technique correctly, you will have the ability to do the same things as yourself.

The first part is a breathing exercise like hyperventilation. We all know hyperventilation is a phenomenon that occurs involuntarily, but in this case we are going to practice it voluntarily. Imagine just the breathing part without any stress that normally causes this type of breathing. The resulting image is that of a quick breath that makes you neutral and invigorates and fills you with oxygen.

How to consciously control your immune system

Important message, read carefully: do breathing exercises always in a safe environment (for example, sitting on the couch) and without being forced. Never practice while driving, bathing, or in any other place where you may faint. This breathing exercise has a profound effect and should be practiced in the way it is explained.

The Wim Hof method explained step by step

1) Make yourself comfortable
Stay in a meditation posture or any other comfortable position that is best for you. Be careful to be able to extend your lungs without any constriction. It is recommended that you practice immediately after you wake up because your stomach is still empty, or before eating.

2) 30 strong breaths
Imagine you blow a balloon. Inspires on the nose or through your mouth and expire briefly but loudly. Keep a steady rhythm and use your complete diaphragm. Close your eyes and make about 30 breaths. Headaches or tingling sensations may appear in the body.

3) Hold your breath
After the 30 breathtaking successions, inspire once again filling your lungs to the maximum without forcing yourself. Do not exhale and keep your breath as long as you can without forcing yourself. Wait until the reflex expires.

4) Breathing recovery
Inspire deeply, completely. Feel your chest swell. When you have reached the maximum capacity, hold your breath for 10 seconds, this being round 1. This type of breathing can be repeated three times.

5) After you have finished your breathing exercise, stay awake and enjoy the feeling after. This feeling will be more like a meditation. You will experience a pleasant euphoric feeling.
