I’ve found that Wim Hof breathing is a fantastic way to de-stress & “re-set” the body…& for me, it works pretty much instantly.

And the benefits of increasing oxygenation within the body are ten-fold: oxygen helps to replace old or diseased cells, increases energy, provides a boost to the immune system, & helps to alkalize the body.Įveryone knows how valuable breathing is ~ but Wim Hof shows us how to do it MORE effectively, with a host of mental & physiological benefits. But what is the benefit here? Quite simply, it means there is an incredible amount of oxygen in your system ~ which is why it’s SO easy to hold the breath for so long. The longest I’ve been able to hold, with no effort, is SEVEN MINUTES!!! Before, that would’ve been impossible. When I use the Wim Hof App (which tracks how long you hold your breath), I was able to hold my breath for longer & longer periods of time.This technique is a fantastic way to “clear the mental cobwebs,” & I find that it’s similar to exercise in that way. The single biggest thing I’ve noticed, from two years of doing this breathwork: it takes me from having a scattered, morning mind (that’s rattling off all I need to do that day), to a much calmer, more focused mind.But Wim’s method has been studied by the scientific community, & you can read more about that on his website.

** Note: These are my personal observations after having engaged in this method for over two years ~ they are not “scientific” or clinical results.
