Like I mentioned I was already practicing mindfulness habitually when I first heard about The Iceman. The world records and wild claims were great but they didn’t really have all that much to do with why I wanted to try it.
Now, I want to tell you why I personally tried the Wim Hof method. After all, reading 1000 books about millionaires won’t make you rich and, after I started practicing the method, I wanted to be able to draw my own conclusions without them being colored by what Scott Carney had to say. The writing was great I just like to think of myself as a doer so why not do more and read less. I’ll be honest, this book opened my mind up to the possibilities and does an excellent job of examining the method from all possible angles. Kilimanjaro in Africa wearing nothing but a pair of shorts.
He practiced with Wim for an extended period and even summited Mt. Scott Carney, an investigative journalist, examined these and many more claims in his book What Doesn’t Kill Us There isn’t any scientific evidence to support these claims but he does have followers who report things like their allergies disappearing and their arthritis being cured. Well, Wim makes some claims about possible disorders his methods can cure ranging from cancer to auto-immune disorders. Not everyone is interested in sitting in the snow, meditating, or climbing mountains in nothing but shorts. You might be wondering why the average person would have any interest in trying this. Suffice it to say I had to try it for myself.
#WIM HOF BREATHING METHOD YOUTUBE FREE#
I won’t bore you with all the details because he has a Youtube channel with plenty of free information as well as a free app. I thought it might be a good way to push myself a little harder and maybe take my meditation to the next level. It sounds pretty out there, but he has successfully set several world records for swimming under ice, prolonged full-body contact with ice, and still holds the record for a barefoot half-marathon on ice and snow.Īs someone who was already practicing mindfulness daily, this was enough to pique my interest. He claims that these 3 foundational principles allow him to push past the perceived physical limits of the human body.
His method includes 3 main points breath holds, cold exposure, and meditation/visualization. The Iceman is a Dutch athlete known for attributing multiple world records to his peculiar brand meditation. Part new-age mystic, part extreme athlete, and part scientific anomaly. After hearing just a little bit about him I decided I had to learn more, the stories were just too crazy! I had to decide for myself. Just a few short months ago I was in the latter category when a friend from my time in the service mentioned Wim Hof in passing. Whatever the case is I’m hoping this post will answer some questions and help you along the way. On the other hand, maybe you have absolutely no idea who this Wim Hof guy is that I’m talking about. Have you ever heard of Wim Hof, sometimes known as The Iceman? Maybe you have and you think he’s crazy or maybe you’re interested in learning more about his methods.
