Houston, we have a problem. We cannot land on the moon. Somewhere over the rainbow, way, way up high. Get high on your own supply. There's a land that I heard of was in a lullaby.
Bye-bye, hello, hello, we go back in the flow.
In the morning. "Kam mit de bana." That's "go with the banana." That's Dutch for "go with the banana." Oh, I got the director there sitting on the couch. He's saying, "Say please and apologize for—" It's not my behavior, it's their behavior. They are not in control. I'm in control. I'm here, and the dog wants to go out, then she wants to come in, then she wants to go go out. You know, all kinds of technical problems. Doesn't matter. We found, we found all kinds of things, especially in these times. And I'm still distracted by what is going on. I had it really premeditated how to get into this breathing session, and then this happened. An issue, this and that, and the technical problems, and then I have to do this, and then the dog comes in and she wants to go again, and 'And I can't concentrate.' I don't need to concentrate because I found it. What I got is here unconditionally. There. The shortcut neurologically inside your own brain. Once again, own your own brain. You are the rightful owner of your own brain. Isn't that logical? So, what would you do if you have access to the unlimited power of the mind? Easy does it. Become happy, become strong, become healthy, and maintain it. Totally in control. You are the captain. Your will is the captain of this vessel. You got a vessel, you are a captain, and we cross all the energies, the oceanic feelings, energies deep and all, and we go targeted realizing our soul. And this breathing session is all about that, to facilitate the right pH, the right biochemistry inside. And then, for God's sake, in contrary of what we have been schooled in, to make career in this, we manifest happiness, health, and strength right over here today. Shortcut into our— with our will and our vessel to be into the right direction for the rest of our lives. Which is every moment. Every moment. And there we begin. Okay, fully in and let it go. Oh, okay, I gotta explain how many rounds because there are always novices. You know, people who start this for the first time. This is very difficult breathing techniques. It's like fully inhale and letting go. Simple, accessible, powerful, scientifically endorsed. So just follow me. Fully in. And letting go. That's what we do for 30 times. And then the last one will be fully in, letting go. And stop. And we begin with 1 minute, then 1.5 minutes, 2 minutes, 2.5 minutes, 3 minutes! Stop! Feel the power. You are the alchemist to be able to Alter your pH, your biochemistry today. And we do it all together. 16,000 people of us, all individually. You see me behind the computer and then multiplied by 16,000 people. Hey man, I'm here. I got a universal language. We ain't got no differences, no politics, no religions, whatever. We all have the right to feel divine. Happy, strong, and healthy. And it goes by intention. Power of your intention. What is your intention? Set it. Make the shortcut and make sure you see and feel that you are in control, that you are the captain from now on. Promise? It's a deal. It's guaranteed and it works. It's time for the neurology to be awakened to our control, willful control. Hey, Captain, love is the way. Love is where we go to. Love is what we manifest in every moment. Okay, then we start. Relax, get your ear things, you know, earpieces in or whatever, but relax. On the sofa sitting. Look at me and what I'm doing. We are sharing. We are the future pioneering. And we come together now. Now we breathe in together.
All fully in. Letting go. Fully in. Letting go. Pull in. Letting go. Pull in. Letting go.
Come on, let's do this together.
And don't forget, in. Letting go. You are the alchemist. You make the change.
And we go into the shortcut, Captains. We will rule over the seas together, over the energies. We are the master of our mind and the captain of our soul inside by directing our vessel right here and now in happiness, strength, and health toward its goal Of love is the drive and soul is its manifestation. All there, neurology, DNA, doesn't matter. It's all evidence-based and it's done. That the whole establishment is not there yet doesn't mean that we are here and sharing the future in the moment. Where love is ruling, because we are the captain. We decide to be happy and strong and healthy, which is part of the unlimited power of our mind. Nobody else's. It's everybody the rightful owner of their own mind. So don't be out of your mind. Be in your mind.
And fully in, letting go. Fully in, letting go.
Relax fully into it. And whatever is different, breathe into it. And here it comes.
The last one. Fully in. Oh, and letting go. And halt. We go for 1 minute.
Meanwhile, just witness. There is no need for breathing. Carbon dioxide is being blown off. It's very easy, very technically, it's very easy. It's up to you to show the power of your attention. The shortcut into absolute control within your brain, like right now. 15 seconds more. Oh, but a rainbow Way.
At full in, hold.
On the inhale, hold. Hold it and hold it. Bring cerebrospinal fluid and let it go. There we go, round number 2. Put it. Make sure, Alchemists, that we are changing the biochemistry to our favor. Going into the depth, past our blockages, inhibitions, and neurologically connect deeply the way nature meant it to be, the way nature capacitated us by birthright to be in control over our happiness, strength, and health. The immune system, endocrine system, the energy systems, it's all within our willful control.
So fully in, let it go. In.
Ooh, eh, ooh, eh. It's all about love, my dear listeners, viewers, my fellow shipmen, humans, all in love together. Be the captain of your soul, the master of your mind.
And pull in and letting go.
Get into this rhythm. Go.
Pull in. Go. 3, 2, 1. Pull in. Go.
Pull in. Go.
Pull in, go. Pull in.
Amazing message is coming through. The neurology reset, the shortcut into control. Not the way we were schooled, the way we are. Here comes the last one. Pull in.
Let it go. And stop.
We go for 1.5 minutes. 1.5 minutes, witness, be, relax. It's all about love and nature coming together in harmony with nature. And there is the lullaby, and it's right here in our consciousness. What would you choose if you would be the master of your mind? And it's not far away. It's you. It. Now. Make up your mind. Here it is coming. Fully in.
Hold.
Hold more. More. Keep it there. Cerebrospinal fluid going to your head. 2. 2, 1, let it go. There we go again.
Come on, guys! Poulier.
Poulier.
Go. Poulier. Go. Follow your rhythm.
In the flow. Changing the biochemistry. The alchemy, all being done here and now. And the war is won only when it's won, when we got victory. And victory comes with love and peace deeply within. Make sure you are in love in every moment, in peace in every moment, and powerful in every moment. That is the master of the mind. That is the captain wherein the soul is thriving and in the process to manifest the great journey called life in love. All within you. Fully in.
Go.
Ooh, dong, oi, life force. Eee, ooh, jah, ooh, ei, jah. And it's not complicated. It is simple. That is the way nature is. Simply there, like the sun, for free. The greatest is you who makes the choice to be like the sun, simply there for free. Yeah! Let's change this world. Come on, guys! Ready?
Roar!
Love and power!
Pull it, let it go, and stop. We go for 2 full minutes. And you are able to do it. Witness, relax, no force. The Alchemist has come. That's you witnessing and being. There's a way over, over the rainbow, way, way up high. Get high on your own supply. There's a land that I heard of that is here right now, somewhere they say in a lullaby. Last night I had a little boy who couldn't go to sleep, and I told him That the sun is down. That the eyes need to shut down. Ah, I lost the track. Making things up, you know. But last night I had my son and he couldn't sleep. I said, "The sun is there so you can see things, and when the sun is gone, you need to shut your eyes because then you can see inside." And when I told him that story, he got it, and he slept. Amazing.
Okay.
"Juliette!
Hold it!" Hold on the inhale. Hold more, more, more.
And let it go. Now we go into round number 3. Make sure you're doing it right for round number 4.
Fully in, letting go. Fully in. Let it go. Pull in. Let it go. In. Go. Pull in. Let it go. In. Let it go. Pull in. Let it go. In. Let it go. In. Let it go. Pull in, letting go. Pull in, letting go. In, letting go. In, letting go. Keep on going, follow your rhythm. In, letting go. In, letting go.
Keep on going. The message of today is The shortcut into full control in our brain over our body. Full control in our brain over our body. Last time. Full control in our brain over our body. Brain over body. What would you do if you would be the captain of this vessel, where would you go to? I would go to the land of honey, to the land of the lullabies, to the promised land, which is here right now. Not through career moves and more moves and more moves, always postponing, postponing. It's here right now, the shortcut. Control is yours. Take them on, guys. We are sharing this. Pulling it. Hold and let go and stop.
Witness.
Be easy does it. Relax. Just let it go so the body is able to do Repair, regeneration, parasympathetic nervous system activity, deep relaxation. Even in the places where your conditioning is not able to go, you are right now into the lymphatic, as deep as we are now. In science, in science, was thought impossible. Now we are there. We are simply there. All the 16,000 of us sharing, breaking the chain of what is possible, going deeper, going together, sharing, sharing our control to go to the deepest. Sharing one direction. That direction is the journey of the soul through love, because we are the captains on our vessel. We are the alchemists to change it all and to direct our being, listening to the deep inside which we awakened. Intuition, proprioception, interoception, it's all there. Neurology, it's logic, nothing more than logic. No career moves somewhere there, right over here, right now. That's where we go.
Pull it in.
Pull it in. Hold.
And let it go.
Round number 5. Here we go. Last round. Let's make it a good one.
Pull in, let it go. Pull in, let it go. Pull in, let it go. Pull in, let it go. Pull in, let it go.
Go deep.
Follow the breath.
The breath is like water. Don't mind. Don't let the mind come in. The master of the mind knows how to let go of the mind.
Follow the breath.
The breath is gone everywhere. Your consciousness, perception, neurology is following it. The breath goes deeper than we thought in science, and now your neurology, which is connected to your will, will connect to the deepest. It's only logic.
Pull in, letting go.
Pull in, take them in, letting go. Take them in. It's like when you are in love. You don't think. You're not thinking. You're not labeling. You're not doubting. You are full of life, full of love. Learn to love life like you love love. That is the message. That is the neurology, and we got it all done. Who's there?
Let it go. In, let it go.
Be powerful, following the breath, shutting up the mind, following the breath into the depth. That's where we are.
Fully in, hold, let it go.
Letting go of the mind. Letting go of the breath. And there we are, into the depth. And there is no doubt about it. It's happening. Only our notion, our consciousness Or so, is this possible? What is this? What is happening now? What is that? It's all new. It's the depth talking to you, communicating through non-verbal communication. It's where we go into the deepest of the DNA, into the deepest of the marrow, into the deepest of the brain. Can you imagine? Connect. Just connect. It's subtle. It's there. And it makes all the changes. And all the clutter will go out of our bodies. That what is not serving us to be happy, strong, and healthy. By nature and by birthright, we are built to be happy, strong, and healthy. Anything else is cutting in, sneaking, wrongly schooled, whatever that is, get it out. Because you are a captain. You sail the boat through the waters. Through the energies targeted to manifest the soul. Soul full of love, power, unlimited, eternal, unbreakable.
That is you.
Keep it there. Last 10 seconds. Keep it there, Sherry.
It's no competition.
We are just going to the best of each and everyone.
And pull in. Hold.
Be proud as a king, as a queen, as a light. And let it go. Relax. You got the message?
Here we go. Last one. Pulling in, letting go. Pulling in, letting go. Pulling in, Letting go. Fully in. No talking anymore. Just fully in. Letting go.
Fully in. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah. Yeah. The captain has arrived. We are sailing in the waters targeted to manifest the presence of our beautiful soul in every moment. Juliet. The captain has arrived.
We are sailing in the waters targeted to manifest the presence of our beautiful soul in every moment.
Who's here?
Letting go and hold.
Witness be nice. It's greater than we can comprehend, the depth of ours. Never been schooled in, yet it's ours. And we need it in the pursuit to guarantee happiness, strength, and health. To guarantee happiness, strength, and health. To have a non-blocked system. To create flow. To maintain it. And being back with the new neurology of nowadays into the primordial sound of your heart, the beat, the early one. The heart of Africa, where humanity came from. Where are we now? Living all over. In harmony as one people with one soul. Happiness, strength, and health. Eternity, eternal, unbreakable, the soul. Aya, Wim, what are you saying? That is not real. It is simply there. It's really real.
Here and now.
It is time to awaken like a baby to the power of the soul present within our perception, neurology, consciousness, the top-down regulation. It's all there.
Let it go.
Relax. Great. Loved the sharing. The message is simple, clear-cut. Time to awaken to the soul through the power of all the measurement devices of the world in science showing that we have innate capacity to control much deeper into our bone marrow, into the deepest part of our brain, and into the DNA. And in the end, it was all about love. Loving the planet, loving the people, loving all living beings, and being one. Who would have liked to be not one? Because I could not breathe. We only make the differences here. Shut up. Okay, questions and answers. I'm ready. Is it? Questions and answers, huh? All right. Wim, your presence is questionable. What kind of answer do you have on that? Shit, I never thought about that. Hey, yeah, I'm just here, man. I just want to change the world, that's all. And we do it together. Yeah! That's my answer. Okay, next question.
Everyone is just saying peace and love.
Yeah, it is peace and it is love.
Maybe this is a good question. I did the breathing 2 days ago, 1 and a half minutes for 11 minutes. I have a seizure.
Is that normal?
No, of course not. What you got to do is slow down the breathing. So the question is, if you have a seizure, amen, if you have an accident, don't do that. Learn to watch what you do. That means breathing, following, following consciously, because this breathing exercise is powerful. It is powerful. It has shattered fundamentally science. It is able to bring down inflammation. It is able to regulate your mood. This was not possible according to everybody. So when you do this breathing exercising, do it cautiously because you really go deep. You go as deep where you are not. You go as deep where your conditioning is not able to control no more. You see? So follow the breath. If you got things out of control, get back in control. How? Just follow the breath, easy. Not— hey man, you're gonna lose control there. Happy days. Yes.
I'm doing the breathing for months and the tingling sensation fades. Is that normal?
Is that okay? Yes. What?
Oh yeah, I'm doing the breathing for months, is the tingling sensation has disappeared. Man, it's not about tingling. That is only a symptom. And because the flow and the gas exchange becomes better, Then the tingling is not there. Tingling is like friction. And sometimes it feels nice. But you know what? What you do then is wake up one day and decide, "Today I want to go really deep." Just follow the breath and go deep. You know what? You will find the tingling. It's never been gone. It's only your attention, your consciousness. Oh, it's a tingling will come. No, it's not bound or related to your expectation. It'll come if you go deep. Amazing. Just find out this breathing has got it. One way, the other way, and that way too, and that way too. Yeah.
What can you do when you feel down?
What can you do when you feel down? Don't let me down, sing that song or something. No, do this breathing. Do the power breathing. You do this. You know when you are down, you are down. You're not up, you're down. So act accordingly. Go fully into it. You want to have a remedy, you know, getting into it. That's what you do. Focused at that moment, feel where you are, and then 15 times. The last time, you take them in, hold it, and squeeze into your head. And be there. Because being down is a lack of dopamine, serotonin, stress in the brain. There is that makes you feel down. It's a signal. And then cerebrospinal fluid to your head makes it all like the water getting— water is getting to the plants. Ah, the flowers suddenly come up again.
That's the way. I'm used to all kinds of breathing techniques, and I have my own pace. Should I maintain that pace if it feels good, or should I adapt to your pace or the pace showing up in the breathwork?
If I got, by, you know, doing all kinds of breathing techniques, I got my own pace, and no, only this pace is obligated. Hey man, you gotta do another. No, you're gonna do— take it easy, take it easy peasy, go your own pace, nice and easy. But remember, go into the depth, and you are the captain of your soul, you are the master of your mind, and the breathing is the facilitator of the right biochemistry inside. Make sure you get that, whatever pace you got, whatever car you get, Get to your destiny. Peace. Does the last exhalation need to be, you know, forceful? Yes or no? Or I say letting go. We have one— this is like 7 meters beyond sea level. And that means there is 1 atmosphere. When I go Mount Everest, my tea will boil, my tea water will boil at 70 degrees. Here it is 100 degrees. There's a different pressure here. Here it is 1 atmosphere. The way you got to go with the exhalation is letting go to the 1 atmosphere. Look, this is more than 1 atmosphere. That's why I'm talking so, so strange. You know, it's like this helium gas. Got to laugh and things. No, more than 1 atmosphere. Letting go. That is 1 atmosphere. That is below the atmosphere. without force. And you know what? You get to the most longest of retentions as well.
The one according to your physiology to your needs. It's like oh, how does my car?
If it looks better, it goes better to its destination.
No, you still gotta gotta stop in front of a red light. And then when it's green you can go again. Et.
You gotta So yeah, the one with the longest is the best. No, no, no, no competition. The best is awaiting without force. Yet it takes your mind. If you are with your mind there and there and there, hey, what are you doing? If you set your intention, you want to go for the best, you will get to the best. Without force. And you know what? You get to the most longest of retentions as well, the one according to your physiology, to your needs. It's like, oh, how does my car— if it looks better, it goes better to its destination? No, you still gotta stop in front of a red light, and then when it's green, you can go again, etc. You gotta abide to the rules of the physiology. But then you get the best. And once you get into the best, amen, there is happiness, strength, and health guaranteed. Because that's the way we are built. So no competition. No competition. Don't become better than somebody else or within your— you in your thoughts, become the best of yourself by relaxed being, no force, go to the deepest and set your intention with your beautiful mind. Deal?
Another one: Why is it better to do these breathing techniques on empty stomach?
Because when you have a full stomach, you are not— then all the oxygen gets over there. That's one. And it's naturally blocking. You are not able to perform when all the oxygen is being consumed and makes the parasympathetic nervous system at work. Then it's like pushing on the brakes while you push on the gas as well. That's why it's not going to work. And you know what? The retention time, so you won't feel okay. It's blocking. It's a don't do it. Don't do it simultaneously. It's or this or that. And that means you're breathing on empty stomach is the best. Then the gas exchange, mitochondrial exchange for ATP molecules, etc., energy, all these things work a lot better. Yes, bang, and have a nice meal.
One that keeps popping up lately is, does the breathing bring on tinnitus? Tinnitus?
And if so, will it go? Ah, I get people who wrote books that this breathing, if you use it the right way, is able to get into the audio center in the ear of people who had who are suffering from tinnitus. The thing is, don't force. If you don't force, you will be able to get and reach into the audio center, into the ear processes, and regulate with the right cerebrospinal fluid plasticity, neuroplasticity. It's all there, but no force. Right.
When is the best time to do these exercises? Actually, there are a lot of questions here people are asking which they can find in our FAQ.
Hey, yes, for— hey guys, for the novices, and a lot of questions are already answered. They are on the website in the community. And, you know, thousands of answers out of the practice of so many. What I want to say is here, I got this message: the breathing really works. As they eloquently say in the classical language, this shit works. So it works, and it works for you if you only do it right. And right is very difficult. Relax, it's very simple, very accessible, and very powerful. Make sure you follow those principles and you get anywhere in your own body. It's only logic. It's nature. And the nature is being happy, strong, and healthy. Because if you are in control, and your neurology is not blocked and it's living everywhere because you have changed the biochemistry into the depth, then what would you do? How would you use this body and this mind? I would say, man, become happy, strong, and healthy, and relax.
Very important question. Yes? It's quite serious.
How do you grow such a fantastic beard?
Ah, man, this beard, it's a— I drank a lot of beer before, and there was one guy telling me, hey, Wim, I see you drinking beers. And I said, is yellow Wim? Yes, they're better. Hey, man, is it— And that's intoxication. I said, it's yellow water, it's not beer, it's yellow water. And then it's— but you know, everybody's got his own control. I got the control to make my beard grow while I'm standing barefoot outside in the snow in a shitty horse stance for 3 hours. That's what I did. And then this beard grew. Roll because I couldn't drink beer. It doesn't make sense. I'm trying to make stupid jokes, but, you know, I'm stupid. I'm a joke. I know. And that's a good joke, by the way.
What do you think about this whole pandemic and the coronavirus and everything that's going on? You mentioned a little bit, but that's the first thing you talked about.
Yes.
Hey, coronavirus pandemic, etc. We got to change in preventing. We got to change our lifestyles. We are built and schooled to be part of a system that is polluting the world, that is exploiting the world, that where the economy is the most important. And where is the health? Where is the happiness? Where is the strength? And where is the health? And we found the ways to tap into the health, happiness, and strength. A happy person doesn't go to war. A happy person is not accumulating power. Or possession, man, exorcism is needed in this world to get this idiotic possessive being exploiting and taking. And hey man, let's share, let's share the love, happiness, and strength. Where I found it, there is a lot, lot, is so much we can overpopulate the world and still be in love and strength and happy. And in harmony with nature. That's my idea. Hey, pandemics and coronavirus have been existing for millions of years, and right now it's there. How come? Because we debilitated our conditions. We have lived so much into comfort zone behavior where we think we can control nature with our technology. We cannot even be happy, strong, and healthy. Hey, stop it now, change the paradigm, get back to your sense. Happy, strong, healthy right here. And pandemics and coronavirus— 1.5 million people died of corona, which is real, but 60 to 70 million people of inflammation diseases every year. I don't hear anything about that. And we showed how to get it down. Wait, what are you saying? I say just be happy, strong, healthy. We are positive, we are not into conspiracies, etc. We don't need that. We show by example being happy, strong, and healthy. Radiate the love, man. There the virus has no place.
So also a question that keeps popping up, is it safe to do the breathing exercise with high blood pressure?
Is it safe to do it with a high blood pressure or low blood pressure? I just heard of this guy who came to my place, Zach, Zach and his woman, and his woman had like to less white cells, she could not be treated for cancer. And oh no, no, no, yeah, yeah, it is true. And 10 days later, she multiplied through this method 10 times her white cells and she could be treated and she is cured now. That is another thing. There was another woman who told me last week— I get so many letters— and she said, oh, it helped me so much, it changed my life. And my mother's blood— what high blood pressure got— she got rid of it in a couple of days after, I don't know, like decennia of suffering of high blood pressure. Why? Because we exercise the vascular system to the deepest. We get it back to where nature meant it to be. We have millions of little muscles in inside. Inside, not outside. No, inside. Millions of little muscles, and they help the blood flow go through. They help the vascular system, the tubing, you know, the vessels, the arteries, the veins, the capillaries. More than 100,000 kilometers, like 70,000 miles. It's inside all. And so the, the heart rate goes down and the veins become flexible. And then the constrictive— because of the wrong biochemistry sclerosis— the constrictive element which makes the high— the pressure of the blood going through high, that is gone because it becomes flexible. And it's not only for high blood pressure, also low blood pressure, it will be done. Sorry that it is so simple and that is such a big issue, but a cold shower a day keeps the doctor away.
So two, uh, just number questions. Um, what time do you go to sleep? What time do you wake up?
I go to sleep— yeah, I got a 3-year-old, and, uh, he goes— when he goes to sleep, I He wants Daddy to come and to— last night, it was such a beautiful moment. I was lying with him. He could not sleep. He was so awake. And then I told him this story, the story of the sun. And when the sun is up, and hey, that's why we have eyes, then we can see things. And when the sun is down, then you don't need to see things anymore, then you should shut 'Close your eyes and shut up.' And he heard that logic, 3 years old, and he understood it, and he felt it. That's real understanding, feeling is understanding. And he slept. So it's a little bit difficult when you live in Iceland in June to be up to 1 o'clock in the morning, because it's light. And then at 4 o'clock, it's light again. But normally, you know, when you have been living the day— and I say die once a day, like, as much as I live. I want to live, man. I want to take it on every day. Jump from the rocks into the freezing water, painfully planking and doing all kinds of things, making music, change the world. Let's go to the universe. We are here with the message from the universe, the most beautiful spot in the whole wide world. So, whole wide world, whole wide universe. All that and more, as I do understand, I want to live. And when I do that, I feel sleepy when I feel sleepy. Is when I need to regenerate. And follow your feeling therein. There is no fixed number about how much you need. You need it when you feel it. When you feel it, it's a symptom that you
