Wim Hof teaches his breathing technique to regulate body chemistry and reduce stress. Do 30-40 rapid breaths, then hold after exhaling for 1-1.5 minutes, repeat three rounds. Skip it in pools or cars, and practice on an empty stomach.

Great, here we are. We are going to do the breathing. This is the first video of the mini class. The breathing. Breathing, how to change the chemistry. You know, stress, oxidative stress, it comes through the shallow breathing and a lot of stress coming in. So much pressure on our lives and that deregulates our chemistry. Now, I found a very effective way How to deal with this deregulative, through stress coming in, chemistry inside of our physiology. Body and mind are suffering normally of this wrong chemistry. And with this one, with these exercises I'm going to show, you are able to regulate your chemistry in the depth. We have shown this in the university studies. And right now, here it is. It's going to come. Don't do this in a swimming pool. Don't do this in a car. Do it like me. I'm going to do this lying here. Do it in your bed, on the sofa, wherever, because this is very strong. Very, very strong. And it may be able to knock you out of your consciousness. Just for a couple of seconds. But imagine what happens if you are in a car or in a swimming pool doing this.
Don't do this.
We are learning how to go deeply within our physiology the way nature meant it to be, and that is going past our normal conditioning. Okay, you can all read it up. Go into it, make your notes, your retention times, See what happens with your body and with your mind. The thing is, this is a very effective way to become alkaline. We have shown this in the studies. So become the master over your chemistry. Do this 3 rounds in the morning, and during the day, your blood is right on.
This exercise goes as follows.
I'm sitting here, but I'm gonna lie because then I'm most relaxed.
So I suggest you do this in your bed or on the sofa. If you feel really relaxed sitting, that's okay.
So what I do is, am I— I'm relaxed, I'm gonna lie down. I got a belly, I got a chest, I got my head.
And with the 3 parts, actually the whole body, not only the lungs are breathing, we are able to manipulate by belly breathing, is deeper part of the lungs. The chest is the upper part of the lungs. That is deep breathing. And even within the head We are able to receive more oxygen in the head, in the brain. It's logical because it's part of your body and oxygen gets in there. We all found this out. So belly, chest, head. That's the way it goes, like this. Letting go. Fully in. Letting go. Not fully out, but fully in. Once again. Fully out means— there's still more coming out. Don't do that. Just letting go. So, fully in, then letting go. Once you get this rhythm, you do this 30 times. Your head becomes lightheaded, you become loose in the body, it feels like, whoa, tingling in the hands and feet. It's all possible and it's all okay. Breathe toward it. Intensify those symptoms. Lightheadedness, loosen the body and tingling. Make it stronger because that's your charge. And then you go 30 times, 40 times. It's okay. Fully in, letting go. Don't think in time, don't think in numbers, think in intensity, think in feeling. Feel, follow the flow of your breath. Then at 30, you take them fully in, let go. You could time it after the exhalation. Let go, you stop breathing, press the time device, stopwatch, and go and feel. Round number 1, you will be able to stay for 1 minute, 1 and a half minute without air in the lungs. Just round number 1. When you feel the urge to breathe after the exhalation and then staying in, stopping breathing, timing, you take the urge to breathe, okay, you take a breath, hold it, squeeze a little, for 10 seconds, 15 seconds to your head.
Breath hold.
Stop the timer. And then you let go. That is round number 1. Then we go again, round number 2. Pulling in, letting go. Fully in, letting go. 30 times, 40 times. Whenever you feel lightheaded, loose in the body, tingling, okay, those are the symptoms. Intensify those symptoms by breathing toward it. Go with the flow. Feel. And you feel charged, you feel very lightheaded, loose in the body, tingling, strong, that's a charge. You take them in, you let it go, you stop, time again, and let it go. When you feel the urge to breathe again, pull in, hold 10 to 15 seconds, and then round number 2. Is done. Then we go into round number 3. Same thing, only every time the retentions are longer because you bring in more oxygen because you relax deeper every time, more and deeper. Thus more oxygen is able to get in and the retentions, the that is the stopping of breathing after exhalation, will be longer and longer and longer. And as it is longer, it is because it goes deeper into the lymphatic system. Then your chemistry becomes alkaline. More oxygen gets in, acidity goes out, alkalinity comes in. Amazing. How simple and effective. After round 3, if you like to do, you do another round, like round number 4, because you love it, because you like it, because you feel it. You will understand high on your own supply when you do this. Round number 3, round number 4, high on your own supply. It's gonna be great. To do the breathing best is a question a lot of time asked. I say on empty stomach in the morning before you go have breakfast. That's the great time to do it. Or whenever your stomach is empty and you feel, hey, I got some spare time, don't feel so really good, I want to have some peace, go into your breathing on empty stomach. Empty stomach, empty stomach, it's the best. Then you are able in 3 rounds to change your chemistry full on. Good luck.
Hey guys, thanks for doing the breathing with me. Was great. So from here we go into the cold, the next video. I got a great exercise size for that. I mean, the mystery of the cold is going to be revealed. Let's get into this because it's there.
