Planning to do more cold plunges and my breathing over the coming months ๐
The main reason why I choose to teach the Wim Hof Method, besides all the amazing health benefits, is this:
It's because conscious breathing ๐ซ and cold exposure โ๏ธ are a fun and efficient way to start to get to know your inner workings. It shows you clearly, mercilessly, what and how your body and mind really are.
And by finding out, it empowers you to see and then go beyond your self-imposed boundaries, to expand your limits, to reduce you fears, to LOVE YOURSELF .... and thus, to SEE THE JOY OF COOPERATION.
Like Wim Hof says himself, and he's not being taken seriously enough for this, he's on a MISSION OF LOVE ๐งก

Ohh yeah! I'm very curious to hear what you'll experience ๐ช๐ผ
Actually, there is a very practical reason behind it. I am a scuba diver and will be doing a lot more diving in the coming months. I have already made a conscious effort to reduce my oxygen intake on dives, and I am interested to see if cold plunges and breath work reduce my oxygen usage on future dives. There are many variables,but the difference can be measured on the dive computer. I will keep you updated my friend. ๐งก
Arighty, I see! But I need to say that you better not mix the Wim Hof breathwork directly with diving. I learned that breathing techniques for (free)diving are much different!
The Wim Hof breathing consciously creates stress through hyperventilation, followed by a relaxation period during the breathhold. It pushes out CO2, brings CO2 levels way down, which is why the urge to breathe comes later than usual. That's why O2 levels can go down so very low into an intermittent hypoxic state. That's very healthy and insightful in general. However, right before a dive, this can result in shallow water blackout and you'd drown!
So, while Wim Hof breathing has enormous benefits, don't practice right before a dive and to attain extended breath hold underwater ๐ค
Keep me updated on your experience, for sure, my man!
Copy that. Understood ๐ฏ thanks ๐
