I think we have two great topics one is the the topic on inflammation that we are able to do so much more in relationship to with natural methods consciously at will related to inflammation to prevent and heal that is why i got all the endorsement with ciphers and the interleukins the inflammation marks and all that and those are papers they should look into that the doctors and i am with a couple of universities in america right now so very soon we are serving the doctors by the thirty thousand with this method because there has been shown that absolutely works and with this stress and inflammation which is both right now very much there the anxiety the fear that stress and mental stress and then the physical stress both we are here and i can explain everything to the detail that's one and then the other topic is about a paradigm the psychology over physiology the new paradigm is where people become much more aware of their own power their mental power over their physical power their psychology over physiology also has been a paper with the professors from michigan they already said this is a transformational technique that will change mental health care and it wasn't me that's them and right now in the book of the new book of scott carney the investigative journalist who was to debunk me before i now become a fan and he is doing this and.

Appreciate you for taking the time thanks for being back you've been on a couple times on the school of greatness podcast and i just came back from poland a couple months ago where it had to be one of the most amazing weeks of my life and the thirteen guys that were with me and it sounded like for you and for anum it was one of the most powerful weeks that you guys had doing this work for four people and you've been doing this work for twenty thirty years now leading guiding people how just a recap before we get into this episode how was that experience for you in terms of having you know all these big athlete guys come and business leaders and live in the house together for a week how was that experience for you personally you know.

As i already told you i see all these big guys and then i see people cry and they show emotion these are people who have gone through the politics and the bollocks of life entrepreneurs fool steam all the time and their emotion is like far away they got it all under in control and those emotions coming out in that week that broke me it broke me the man in control that's me the wim hof the signs and the man the cool man the iceman himself he just broke down into tears he broke down and he had to become vulnerable but that is only vulnerable in this sense is open up completely and show your weakness is possible only with those who have gone through the same and show themselves also vulnerable and that is a power i cannot control i cannot control vulnerable people i just have to break open and learn and be open and heal and then find the love together of course that is the greatest experience a man can have during his life this is all about the love and you know from there that love is going to heal the world that love is the real new paradigm it is coming from the heart being open being able to be vulnerable show what you got inside and it all will become just great.

That'S it man i love that was there anything that you learned from that week that supported you in the last few months with quarantine or with just everything that's happening in the world was there anything that opened up for you differently that you learned new that supported you in this time yes is that.

What you cannot control which is the most essential crucial and important in life it's love it's like a flower you cannot control a flower come on you gotta let it go and that is the greatest source of inspiration so when i'm touched over there then i can see it clearly again then i'm able to meditate because sitting just sitting they call it meditation no it is just being vulnerable within yourself and witness the inner depth the inner void the inner whatever has been there always and then full bloom there vulnerable beautiful light and it's innocent that innocence is my source of inspiration i'm able to go twenty four hours talking about love from many angles from signs going into a freezer and sit there for hours minus twenty five degrees celsius i mean freezing freezing freezing and invent all kinds of things because i have connection with the source of inspiration which is vulnerable lovable there it is i love it man there i am this is what the world.

Needs to know yeah has your lady seen any shifts in you over the last few months since that experience with.

Us yeah there's a lot of catarsis going on really yes it's like outer cleansing inside cleansing when you cleanse from the inside you cleanse automatically from the outside it's like spring cleaning all the time and i feel just different the energy she tells me i trust you.

More wow you know.

She just told me she trusts me more because i am more who i am and what i am where i have no control but what is and she can sense that and that that to me that is just one of the biomarkers say i get also with my own family you know the story now you have.

Lots of you didn't talk to them for like eight to ten years right.

Yeah man and now and now it's all cleansed really it's cleansing it's all cleansing it goes step by step the old paradigm is very strong but it is cleansing oil so that is an amazing positive avalanche going on wow man.

I'M super happy for you and i'm grateful that you gave us that time for us to open up and transform and heal and i'm glad we were able to support you with a gift in return of witnessing that and helping you with your family and your inner world as well so i'm glad to hear that whim i'm curious how have you been responding to the quarantine time and coronavirus time and it seems like a lot of people are more and more stressed than ever you know these weeks have been building getting worse and worse people are stressing at home what advice do you give for people who are isolated at home maybe they're getting at their partner a little bit more reactive more is it good to do.

Cold therapy when you're already stressed or.

Is there something else that you would.

Recommend cold therapy breathing therapies are to activate the body in the depth and that goes past the our conditions physiology so what i say there is this is time or there's change happening this is on world scale and it is this about our consciousness our perception our neurology and our neurology in the future needs to become more aware we have to become more aware of who we are what we are what is the purpose of life what is nature what is love because there is the purpose and we are growing towards that everything stands still guys stop it it's over it's done mother nature has come and she says children stop at a moment because this is not development this is destruction in the world this now is a time of opportunity to go within and and to reconnect with a new paradigm with a new neurology and that new neurology perception consciousness is a consciousness of love of equal division in the world equal communication backgrounds don't differ anymore because we all have a mind which needs to be much more in connection with our heart say the mother in new york is the same as the mother in baghdad they just want happiness strength health the love of life for their children and they should be able to guarantee that and that is what i'm working at like light workers but because we talk about light everybody oh wait that is too much for me i go by science i want factual i go by science i am factual and these professors after investigating the functioning of the brain at will see that we have come to a new possible neurology a new control wherein we at will are able to tap into our brain the seat of the mind into the deepest and with the deepest actually everywhere and that is going to be the new paradigm where people are able to control within their own brain so much more and you know in the end when people have control within their own mind deeper stronger and better what would they choose would they choose an unhappy set of lifestyle or a happy set of lifestyle the world is going to be happy because people are going to be within their control i'm already did these studies and i'm just a pioneer i just show beyond speculation what a human brain and a human will is possible within that brain within the mind and if people have a real choice between having ten cars or happiness they are going to choose happiness yeah.

What do you think are three things we can do on a daily basis simple things to help us have more control over our own mind yes i.

Would say if you go to a shower have a nice bathroom and then because that is vascular fitness your energy run a lot better afterwards and that means when you sit your energy flow your blood flow is a lot better so you just feel better because the energy flows better that is vascular fitness did you say end up you say hot cold yes alternate is even better because then you open up close open up close and then you train the millions of little muscles in the vascular system which is helping the blood flow go through the system and then the heart rate goes down with twenty thirty beats a minute that means stress bye bye stress you don't feel this stress anymore you are in control of your own body and your blood flow is running to the cells feeding the cells you get a lot of energy and that energy is without stress you are simply there that is what a cold shower can do it's amazing and from there i say do twenty twenty five minutes of deep breathing exercises because it has been shown that it changes the chemistry you become actually the alchemist in the morning make sure that you are the alchemist you are the ruler within your own mind and your own body that is the mindset and the cold shower will help your vascular system which is running through everything you got and the breathing is changing the chemistry and then suddenly you find are you ready.

Is to be the master over our stress over our health over our happiness it's all there that is going to be the new paradigm we are the directors or the presidents within our the kings and the queens we shine the crown the corona the crown the crown that's who we are we are we should behave like kings and queens and feel alike and we should be able to rule over the world of what we see and bring love and prosperity there we are and now it is science so psychology goes over physiology michigan studied brain over body it is there and now it's the time that the scientific world will have to take up that the defense system and every individual in the world is able to be altered within one day or half a day half a day and i can challenge any scientists to prove me wrong because we got all the data and i'm asking please scientists look into this if you want to talk inflammation can we influence that what causes damage in the coronavirus infection that is the il one the il eleven the il six the il eight interleurkines those are interleurkins inflammation markers can we bring them down with that control the damage that's what we have shown we have shown to bring it down and that was the first group in scientific research ever who was able to bring it down in such a way that they did not feel the fever uncontrollable shivering nausea vomiting back aches muscle aches and all caused by a bacteria injected in the end it causes inflammation and the inflammation markers went down the coronavirus virus and or a bacteria cause inflammation they go up the innate immune system can we control the innate immune system that in science was shown to be not possible at will and now we are shown at will to bring it down so that inaugurates in the future and they have to techniques that enable people massively all over the world to be much more into influencing their innate immune system and therefore bringing down the damaging factors of inflammation and control their immune system a lot better so the viruses through the white blood cell increase which we also through science have shown those are the detectors those are the little sherlock holmes inside our bloodstream and when the bad guy is coming in then the sherlock holmes knows how to detect and then inflammation doesn't need to happen because a little bad guy is not able to do damage this we have shown and this in the end shows hey if we are able to take down the inflammation and with that change the perspective of what we at will as humans are able to do in relationship to disease in general then there will be a big change people become much more self aware begin to do these breathing techniques take the damn cold shower and feel great i love it.

Man when is the last time you got the flu or got a cold or got sick where you were out for a while do you remember the.

Last time.

Must be amnesia but i don't know i forgot it's not there.

You'Re doing cold training often you're leading retreats every other week you're climbing a mountain in snow and freezing cold shirtless you're jumping in freezing rivers cold tubs ice showers you're doing these things but you don't remember the last time you got sick maybe a little here and there but you were able to get yourself back to full power are you in this time staying at home and making sure you're protecting yourself and the ones around you even though you're trained to not get sick or are you saying you know i'm going to go outside i'm going to live my life i'm going to touch everything and touch my mouth and i'm not worried what's your mindset during this time i'm absolutely.

Not in fear related to coronavirus infection i know how to beat to beat it i know how to spike up my immune system i know this i already talked to the university and i told them hey guys you still got my blood my blood taken while i was doing my exercises and that blood has shown to be resistant against bacteria injected into the blood normally there is aggressive reaction of the immune cells ex vivo in laboratory setting so without me but it's my blood and they took it when i was doing my exercising and they took it normally there is a very violent reaction on the immune cells now they took my blood and they put in the same bacteria and there was zero reaction on the immune cells really zero zero so i told.

Him coronavirus or just absolutely any virus.

That what creates inflammation and coronavirus also just creates inflammation so we were not able to bring down inflammation at will and i showed how to bring it completely down so at least let them investigate how this is possible because i've been showing it and then they told me you are the only one who is able to do this because you are the iceman then i directly said no give me a group of people and i will show just in a couple of days how to bring them to the autonomic nervous system the innate immune system how to bring down inflammation and then you test them all with the bacteria you inject them and cause inflammation in the body the innate immune system reaction and then you will see they all will bring it down that in contrary of hundreds and thousands of people who have done the same experiment and all got sick wow now there.

We are if someone is feeling.

Sick.

Right now and maybe they have coronavirus maybe they just have the flu or some type of cold or something else maybe they're causing sickness because of the mind and how they're stressing so much who knows why what would you say people should do obviously if they're if they're sick they should probably stay quarantined with this practice but what should they do in terms of just feeling better to try to strengthen the immune system and weaken the sickness what is something they could do every day is it twenty minutes a day of breathing like you said and ice and doing the ice stuff even if they feel weak will that help is it more breathing what's the strategy to increase the immune.

System if they feel weak then they should do the breathing exercises the breathing exercises changes the chemistry brings down the inflammation and when it is brought down through the breathing techniques not hey just do a little bit of breathing yeah i breathe already all day long no not that way just follow the protocol which these guys in the university also did also those people are humans so you are human follow the protocol and then it will show you will bring down inflammation which was weakening the person so the person feels weak he brings down through the breathing techniques the inflammation then he feels strong again he feels connection again and that is feeling strong.

And that from there starts to fight.

Off the sickness yes the inflammation goes down with that the sickness and with that he feels he has control within his immune system at will again gives confidence and great feeling that is one and then from there then take a hot shower take a cold one afterwards from thirty seconds to two minutes and you're gonna feel even greater because you are exercising and activating the transportation system of your body and it's all logic.

Why does breathing help boost the immune system by itself why is air into your body and your cells why does.

That help in your opinion yes when we do these breathing exercises we have shown in the university they work different than any other breathing technique i have been looking up and i've gone through science to show it so it's factual it's factual this breathing techniques i've been exercising randomly by going into cold water and cold water is real stress and when real stress comes and you are able by certain kinds of ways of breathing then those breathing techniques that is able to fend off the stress of the cold and so those breathing techniques after being so much in the cold i took home i began to do those same breathing techniques techniques which i was doing before to fend off the cold i took them home and began to exercise at home and then it shows wow this goes deep it changes my consciousness it changes my feeling deeply i see all the lights i see all the chakras i see enlightenment i see anything i learned it by going into cold water and cold water is merciless but righteous is what i always say but it is so it is my teacher if it works in cold water it will work against any virus and or any bacteria i love that and more so you learn if you learn how to deal with cold water which is very stressful which goes directly into your emotion you learn also to deal with your emotion with your mood and this has now been shown in the brain scans that i'm able to connect with the areas where emotion is residing while stress is coming upon my body i was able to feel euphoria and you could not miss because you could see the brain and within the brain you know where is the area of emotion and where's the area of pain and sensation and they saw it all and that was for the first time all learned in the cold water then i took that breathing those became techniques i took them home began to do them and it amazing what i also and then i went to the university and they gave me an injection i began to do these breathing techniques and the bacteria had no chance because i was now the mechanism of the breathing goes as follows because we alkalize the body by blowing off the carbon dioxide we are able to stay after say two minutes of deep breathing blowing off the carbon dioxide than to stay without breathing because the carbon dioxide trigger is gone it is gone the body is alkalized so there is no need for breathing the only need for breathing is because the body becomes acidic carbon dioxide that is and then the trigger is going to work and you feel i need to breathe but if the trigger is no longer there because your body is alkaline not acidic then you don't need to breathe but what happens now because you do not breathe the oxygen amount saturation of oxygen in the blood after one two minutes is going drastically down where people normally die this is where i showed this and i teach these people i taught you too you know showed you in the breathing and this when that happens when the saturation of the oxygen goes down but the body's chemistry is still alkaline it is able to go down without damaging the body but what happens in the deepest part of the brain which is reactive the brain stem the reptilian brain the oldest part of the brain it goes into survival it shoots out adrenaline because it reacts as if there is a great danger going on and what happens with the epinephrine which is activated in the deepest part of the brain it shoots out through the body into the bloodstream and it resets the body and when it resets the body the immune system is working again the way nature meant it to be and what was it to fend off bacteria and virus because with a virus or with a bacteria you cannot function in nature so nature has got these great capabilities given to us but we with our comfort zone behavior we think we can heat it up and bring the heat down by air conditioning in the summer and heating up in the winter we are in a non stimulative being while we got a perfect machine to adapt all the time and when danger then comes it knows directly how to adapt to the aggressor because you got environmental stress mental stress emotional stress bacterial stress virus viral stress it's all yes exactly work stress coronavirus stress the lockdown stress the opening up stress again any stress is in the end stress and we have the capability to adapt towards it and to find solutions and this time of the coronavirus lockdown inside being at home learn about yourself learn about your inner nature the way nature meant it to be because it is a great nature you have the power to adapt to about anything stress has no stress as a teacher it will show how to stay relaxed in euphoria no pain no boredom anything your energy stays clean that is the way an animal is able to function in nature and we are animals beautiful animals with a beautiful.

Mind that's it man we are beautiful animals we just got to cleanse ourselves i'm curious what can we do or.

How much stress should we be putting.

On our bodies on a daily basis that is self induced that is for the purposes of strengthening ourselves in our environment as opposed to is there too much stress that we can put on ourselves of just saying i'm gonna you know five hours of breathing and ice.

Training or is it i gotcha there is no need for go five hours but if you sometimes want to challenge yourself you better have a vessel a body which is working well if you're if you got it like september for example i want to show the world that we with thirty two people and i also challenged russell brand challenged aubrey marquez but he is coming to climb the kilimanjaro in one day in shorts thirty two people you know what happens we are going to show that we voluntarily are able to generate more red cells which was thought of impossible and white blood cells both so white blood cells that's the immune system those are the little detectives within us are we able to increase that and go past the existent knowledge of what we as humans at will are able with our physiology i'm going to show that and with that thirty two people and i'm asking you louis like the mountain in poland there is a new mountain i mean you are a big man and you will see over the top before me but it's a challenge i would love you to come to show the world that through breathing techniques and our mindset we are able to alter into a physiology which is showing the world the new paradigm because then everybody is able to do it and we do it spectacularly it is a lifetime experience it is not only going deep it's becoming who we are and scientists will come and they will show wow this is breaking all the physiological laws considered for humans to be able to control and this goes way beyond and that is the new paradigm so how much do we have to train for that sometimes i go for one two hours minus twenty five running in my freezer but then for days i just take a cold shower do my breathing and i love it but in most of it it is i believe i can do this i believe i can change myself i can change the world i can show the world that we are capable of so much more so for now i say hey twenty five minutes of breathing and take a cold shower that is a great vascular fitness and you become the alchemist through the breathing and you will become aware that you are able to alter and to change yourself into depth and with that you will open up to the great potential you got given by nature i'm curious.

Five minutes yeah i'm curious there's a lot of uncertainty in people's minds lately and there's a lot of uncertainty about the future and i'm curious in your opinion what's the best way to overcome self doubt uncertainty fear of the future and build more of this belief in people's selves the way you believe in yourself what can we do to train our mind and our life to believe in ourselves more and overcome self doubt.

Yes self doubt comes from the subconscious which knows you are not in the right connection to be let's face it.

Everyone'S juggling long busy days that's why icebreaker's gum is made for the go getters with flavor crystals that deliver a bold cooling effect icebreakers keeps you refreshed and ready to take on whatever's next and here's a bonus the pack fits perfectly in your car cupholder or bag so it's within reach when you need it most grab icebreaker's gum online or at a store near you the holidays are back at starbucks so share the season with a peppermint mocha starbucks signature espresso velvety mocha and cool peppermint notes topped with whipped cream and dark chocolate curls together is the best place to be at starbucks.

Able to deal with the situations coming it knows it and that creates self doubt it's a messenger it says hey do something about it i'm your friend and this is doubt you are not ready for what is going to come and i know in the subconscious what is going to come and you are not ready so i tell them the same go into the breathing go past blockages go past the conditioning of the mind and the body because the breathing is like water it goes everywhere it goes past it it will create the right chemistry it will unblock the wrong chemistry and with that you get a connection because it's open the blockages are out and with that comes a confidence the confidence is the feeling that you are open that the flow is there that you are in control of that and then your subconscious will say hey it's okay you are a child you can go play because you did your homework go it's a feeling that feeling of confidence that is natural and it's for everybody it's there all the time it's absolute and it's very accessible and very effective through this breathing through the cold shower and then your belief will be there it is a rule by the subconscious but now we know how to get into the subconscious and take away any blockage fear inhibition and then your subconscious will say will just be there just being there meditation should be twenty four hours a day like no fear no inhibition everything is beautiful because there is flow yeah.

Things yeah most of the day now i'm playing with my two year old yeah and not only he is ridiculous and he he doesn't let me go on the telephone look to the podcast or talk to the people he's just get your ass over here i need your attention i want you to be my teacher show me everything you got because i got all the energy of the world and i love it so he's teaching me actually he's teaching me how to be just there fully there there is nothing in my mind because i have to go to the level of a two years old it's not complicated it is just being and he does a great job so i'm very happy with my kid and in between i do some training i like to do some physical exercise tomorrow people will come i will do running in the freezer and yeah and have a great sauna afterwards and talk with the people about life because it is great to commute to share with people and this once again is a great opportunity to find out that the stillness of your mind that is the real control is in letting go all the shit and be with who you are and what you are and what you are and who you are is beautiful so find out the beauty use the damn cold shower and some breathing to change the chemistry and to go past the inhibitions and the anxiety and all and come in terms with yourself twenty four hours meditation that's who we are yeah man.

What'S the greatest lesson your two year old has taught you about yourself that you that you forgot about what's something.

He taught you amazing he's just there bluntly there from the morning he comes running i'm then already awake and you know at six o' clock and doing my breathing and then then i'm sitting there looking at the coronavirus news and things and then he comes past the door you're running daddy daddy daddy daddy that's what he does and then he gives me a hug and from there i am his nobody else is anymore i'm his and i'm serving him because.

It'S so lovable that's amazing man so.

He teaches me let it go love and you have a great experience you are not into your mind not into your ego not into the oldest thinking you become simple and simply there and then i see it's amazing that i missed out on all this while i was traveling to australia to los angeles to new york to paris to london to amsterdam to south africa and all that and going on speeches over there workshops over there retreats over there and working on books and this and that and all shut up be here for me i love you you love me.

There it is that's amazing and what's a lesson you've learned with quarantine with you and your lady and your wife have you learned something new about yourself by being more isolated and in a confined space as opposed to going out and traveling has there something you've had to overcome challenges or any lessons you learned that you would share with us.

Yes i think the coronavirus the blessing of the coronavirus besides of course the terrible death toll which is existence it's like a lesson a hard lesson a rude lesson of mother and nature coming to us and we have to stop we cannot just graciously go and keep on with production mode exploiting the world and polluting the world and staying insensitive towards each other because it's all competitive and all no it has stopped it has stopped my traveling has stopped my mind has stopped my little kid brings me right here and right now and let me tell you it is the busiest time ever of me because i'm seeing that what i've been advocating the last forty years that nature has the answer where we all have the problems and still looking at those problems nature has the answer we have to get back to nature and this is the time and i'm busy like a busy bee in springtime polluting pollinating over here and there and there and there and there podcasts with great people like yourself bringing out the news that the world is going to change for the great for the positive for the love and we are going to do this together this is what is going to happen and it needs work it needs our beliefs it needs our uninhibited being and being as a torch of light here i am here we are and this is what we do together with the scientists all over the world it is time for love to rise yeah there.

We are do you feel like your love and intimacy is connected stronger with your wife or do you feel like you guys have had some challenging conversations because you're isolated together more now you.

Know i go back to the beginning of our conversation yeah it is cleansing cleansing finally i am home finally i get time to talk about the things.

That you didn't talk about or you can address these things yeah yes absolutely.

And they you know you do not even need to talk they come and then you talk it's not that you invent these things come up finally i got time to have it get a come from the bottom up this is nature and yeah i love it i love it i welcome it all the.

Time what was the thing that you needed to cleanse with your wife that you guys hadn't talked about or didn't cleanse yet was there a conversation was.

There so many things so many things too many things almost i'm actually getting back to my wife the way i was in the beginning you know in the beginning when you are with a woman you feel attracted to there is no words there is just bloody great energy and you can go through it all you just want to go from a to b so then in turn between a and b is a one and a two and a three hundred and all kinds of thought and this and the energy weakens and that energy is being brought back and i see it and i feel it so instead of knowing how to address things it is that is addressing things these things go away so there is no addressing this the love is becoming stronger the presence is becoming so the gratitude is becoming stronger i see her back again the way it all began and i'm so grateful for every moment every moment i say wow i'm just looking at her wow what i'm a lucky bastard to have you as my wife i think you are so beautiful so amazing what qualities i can see them again i can feel them again amazing yeah.

That'S beautiful to see and i think we might lose that sense of wonder and curiosity when we're isolated with someone so much we might lose that because we're getting frustrated or stressed that we're not going out and doing our routine or having space but if we can come from your point of view wim and appreciate more and express more gratitude and rediscover the qualities we love about our partner yes from the beginning it's going to create that magical experience as opposed to a challenging stressful one that wants me to like get at someone's throat and get out of yeah and i think it's rediscovering that curiosity and just showing more appreciation and love that will rekindle a relationship that maybe had just challenges or that will strengthen one that's already strong so it's like appreciation and gratitude is like breathing and ice therapy for your relationship right yes yes.

Break the ice go into it and come out alive like activated from the depth and you know when you are in love you don't think you just want to go to your love that power we have now the opportunity to get into that power anything if you want real control of the mind be in love be in control of your love in learning to let go if you feel the love you are in control of the mind because then the mind is there it is there to serve you it's not to dominate you it's to serve you and then the love is there because we all want love we all want happiness the control of the mind is love you're giving.
