Wim Hof compares his breathing method to Tibetan Tummo, an esoteric high-altitude practice rooted in the Bon religion. While Tummo requires 4,000 meters elevation and decades of training, Hof's method was built for modern Western people to reduce inflammation, trauma, and depression. Both are breathing techniques, he says, but serve different purposes and contexts.

Hi guys, questions and answers. Question now is: What is the difference or the similarity between Guttumo breathing and Wim Hof Method breathing? Wim Hof, that's me, by the way. Hey, hey! Ah! Ah! Okay, stop it. Easy does it. Calm down. Take a breath. I do not even know how many breaths they do and what they do and blazing fire. I only got inspired when I was 17 reading something about it by an anthropologist who got there. We in the West, we need different breathing exercises and then scientifically endorsed to take away our doubt, our thinking brain. And for that, this breathing technique, which I have developed by going into the cold, which is righteous but merciless as well, going as deep to be able to withstand that power, that impact. There I started to do this breathing, and that has shown itself effectively to be able to shake the foundations of medical science, namely bringing down inflammation. That is one. And if you go long enough into this breathing, it becomes transformational related to trauma. And those two pillars are lacking in our modern West's science and behavior. And now it's there. We are able to go into the deepest with this breathing technique, which is suited exactly on the modern man. Tummo breathing is different. It comes from the Bon religion from Tibet, somewhere up there at 4,000 meters, and they do it over there. This is where we are. We are in hectic, stressful, modern society. WHM is both transformational and bringing down inflammation and lifting up the performance energy. That means it all works inside, scientifically done. The good Wim Hof breathing, very good. You go into esoteric disciplines You go so deep and it takes about 20 years. So, to take old esoteric disciplines, proven itself in the local area where it is, or what we need suited to modern behavior, modern life, and modern problems like inflammation, depression, and energy. There it is. I'm not going to go into the nitty-gritty scientific details, but the difference is like one and the other. How, what's the similarity between a giraffe and a zebra? Hey, they are both animals, but then it's quite different, isn't it? That's the way it is different. Guturmo is the zebra. Wim Hof Method breathing is the giraffe. Yeah, you got a better view. Hey, cool. Thank you.
