I've had amazing results with the breathing method. At 77, and having a serious heart condition, I could barely walk a block 3 years ago. After doing the breathwork for 40 months I am now walking about 4 miles a day. I could hardly hold my breath for 30 seconds at first, now I can go for 2:30. I actually think people my age would benefit most from Wim's methods. My comment is already too long to elaborate on that point.

I still get little crumps, but not as strong as before. And I feel the benefits, although I know there is still much to improve. Has anyone had similar experience? Am I on the right path?

Just an observation: when taking a deep inhale through your nose as opposed to through your mouth, the amount of air you are able to move into your lungs rapidly is much less. IMO, especially for beginners, it is much easier to fill your lungs rapidly and deeply by inhaling through your mouth.

Just my two cents.....I've been doing Wim Hof breathing since fall of 2019. I do my breathwork and a cold shower about an hour before bed. I fall asleep quickly and sleep deeply. If for some reason I miss a session (very very rarely), I struggle to fall asleep. The breathwork seems to alleviate stress and calms me down, while the cold shower snaps me into the present moment. A great feeling when I'm done. Thanks for this video, Kitaro. Good info. Tom

I’m not sure if it was purely just the Wim Hof method, could have been other factors as well. But now I tend to do the breathing when I first wake up, and then have a cold shower after. Sometimes I will do the breathing again in the afternoon if I’m feeling anxious

About six months ago, I experienced a tightness in the base of my throat and my heart was racing. I went to the emergency room and was diagnosed with an attack of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). They explained to me that my vagus nerve had seized in my throat and made my heart stick in, what I prefer to think of, as the wide open position (160bpm). They treated it by injecting me with adrenaline, which wasn't pleasant. It caused the nerve to release and my heart rate went back to normal. Along with my release paperwork was a link for the Wim Hoff method. I have been making it a daily practice since then. Yesterday, I was in the middle of a breath hold and my vagus nerve seized again. Admittedly, I was just going through the motions. My mind was completely elsewhere when I could feel my throat seize up and my heart begin racing. I didn't panic and continued , this time being in the moment and focusing on what was going on with my body. After another couple of rounds I could feel my heart rate slow and the tightness in my throat relax. After a cold shower I felt more relaxed and centered than I have in months. Awareness cannot be underestimated.

Heavily distilled summary for later: 1. Don't short the inhale. When asked to increase pace, this doesn't mean to cut the inhale to compensate for the change. Should happen organically as you progress through the rounds. The exhale speed never changes. 2. Check in with yourself before starting the practice. Switch to 'observer' mode. Proprioceptive awareness, especially during the gradual filling of the lungs first from the stomach and then to the chest, will improve your practice. 3. Daily intention setting. What're we going for? Increased energy (sympathetic) or calm (parasympathetic)? 4. Tethering the practice to a deeper meaning. What is it that you hope to derive from the practice? What are you trying to learn or improve about yourself?

Another great tip is when breathing into the belly, breathe INTO your belly instead of expanding it outward. Its actually a very good practice to breathe into your belly pulling your stomach inward at the bellybutton for normal breathing as well. This will train the transverse abdominis which hold the lower abs and belly in tight instead of pushing them outward producing a pot belly.

I’m 70 years old and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease years ago. Some of the most common non-motor symptoms of the disease are depression, anxiety and apathy. Most people are only aware of the tremors that can be the most visible symptom of the disease. I refuse to take anti-depressants because I have read that meditation, exercise and breath-work, for many people, do as much or more good than the SSRI’s and other anti-depressants. I have tried your breathing methods and found them to improve the issues I have been dealing with. Next come the cold showers. I’ve always believed there is a very good reason God allowed hot water heaters to be invented, but I’m going to give it a try. Thank you, Mr. Waga, for the content you provide on KZitem.

Thx for the explanation and the inspiration. For me it is sometimes easy and kind of natural to do a "good" breathing. Sometimes it is harder to breath in fully or just letting go while breathing out. Being aware of the technique helps a lot in this moments. - In my experience there is a big difference between a breathing session alone at home or doing it in a group with an instructor leading the session. The energy that is brought in by other persons breathing next to me and the reaction of the instructor to the current atmosphere during the session can bring the experience to another level. So the next session alone at home can feel like not experiencing the highest level. But it is just different and not a lower quality.

I broke my nose in several places as an 18 year old and haven't got it fixed even though it impacts my nasal breathing big time when I try to take deep breaths because it's not deemed medically necessary so it would cost me about 6-7k...BUT Could you do a breathing tutorial and mistakes with breathing through your mouth as the focus? Been trying Wim Hoff method for a while and I still feel like my breathing is too forced. However, I feel better effects when I don't simply relax my breath out, but push it out almost as equally as the inhale personally...

Hello Kitaro thanks for your videos. I find myself able to do much deeper faster breaths if im sitting and moving my torso and head forward and up during the in breath and then straight during the exhale. However, this seems to use up a lot more of my energy and i am unable to do the breathholds for longer duration even after 4-5 rounds. Is this approach not optimal? If i do just normal sitting or lying deep breathing seems much less deep and i feel the effects much less, but the breath holds are much longer this way.

Thank you for the tips and very timely arrival too as coincidentally today my spouse and I had been talking about having entered some kind cycle of diminishing returns with the breathing method. After a great start for both, we individually seem to have hit some kind of gradual down curve in regards to achieving the same initial plateau of effect, the full blown shimmering (which I presume is down to blood oxygenation) which made for a great Somatic experience and consequent relaxation and feeling of wellbeing. It left me wondering what could it be, what happened, what have I started doing wrong - which only lead me to try harder, perhaps too hard thus missing the point. I’ll take your advice in and re-evaluate my practice accordingly. I must say, though, that I still struggle with the notion of ‘full inhale and just let go’ because if I don’t force it out I feel as if can’t quite do a full inhale and don’t get the full load of oxygen I’m after.

I found the 'music' and the fact it was timed actually made me want to breathe, (a subconscious pressure not to breathe making me want to breathe maybe ?) so I now use other music 'a brain frequency track' do my breaths and glance at the timer as I breath out and just forget about the time. That increased my breath holds to near 3 mins pretty quickly once I stopped thinking about the time so much and just focussed on an empty mind and just being.

Kitaro, IMHO this is THE BEST video you've made on the WHM. I know you've talked about some of these points before, this is the clearest, and you've put it all on one place. I've watched lots of other WHM tutorials including the official stuff, and I've read three books now, and this video cuts to the heart of the matter. of how to practice correctly once you know the overall framework. Well done.

I use a video of yours that takes us through 4 rounds of win hof breathing. It’s a great video, I use it everyday but can you do another ‘follow along’, when to inhale/exhale type video, without any of the talking over it? Just when to breathe, when to exhale and the breath hold timers? That would help me a lot

You can always make your own if you cant find what your looking for. They are easy to make. Just record yourself breathing in and out and loop that part. Then put sound markers for the times. You can do it for free in Audacity

What these breathing exercises are supposed to do is increase our vibration... Just like a fish, or a mushroom, or a tree, etc... We are all the same, we are energy. We cannot be destroyed, we only change shapes or forms. They say we only breathe in 30% oxygen in the air we breathe. What's the other 70%? Water, humidity, moisture in the air. By doing these exercises every day you will cleanse your body of anything that ails you. Anything... You increasing your vibration will shed fat at an alarming rate. I've gone from 265 in Feb. To 195 now and I don't work out. Also, Cell towers emit massive vibrations, look into what 3g, 4g and 5g really are. Much love to all! Slow down, breathe and be happy. Share the love! Have a divine day!

should you be lifting your shoulder up when you breath in? thought was better that you breath into your belly and shoulders do not move?
@KitaroWaga

Don't lift your shoulders actively. If your shoulder move because you breathe with the whole torse (abdomen, mid-chest, clavicular) there is a little bit of passive movement in the shoulders.

Thank you again for explaining these methods and opening greater depth and connection. I find it miraculous how each time I am feeling low or stuck your videos seem to pop up in front of me at the perfect moment. A gentle steadying hand to help step back on the path. Gracious thanks

Thx for nice guide ! Does someone experience carpopedal spams during whm? I stared month ago and in the beginning everything was fine, however when I started quite active breathing - muscles on my arms start spasming quite painfully. If someone has any experience and any advise - please share ) thx

Ktiaro San, your teaching are great contributions for humanity ❤ One advice though, since there is a accent in your speaking, on top of that the loud background music . . . . it needs some extra efforts to understand what you are actually speaking. I wonder if it's possible for you to re- upload this video either with no music OR very low volume in the background ? Waiting for your kind reply 🙏 Thank you again!

Around 8:30 you talk about hitting a plateau, what do you mean with that? Isn't advancing in longer breath holds contrary to the meaning of the exercise (relaxation and meditation instead of improving performance?)

Hi, what is your opinion on cyclic hyperventilation breathing exercise suggested by andrew huberman. It is almost similar to win hof breathing but slightly different in the aspect of breath hold part. Love to hear your take on that. Which do you think is more beneficial?

you are inhale by nose? Shloudnt be throught a mouth?
@KitaroWaga

Normally through the nose. But you can do both for the breathwork. It can get too intense very quickly if you inhale through the mouth, so you need to be aware of that and decrease the speed if it gets too uncomfortable.

Apparently breathing in through the nose can have different benefits. Breathing out conserves [something] Oxide.

Hi, I just started doing the method, and still expermimenting with how to do it right with my body. ( I am very ill and bedbound, so I am only able to do the breathing part, not the cold water. Even though that was the normal way of taking a bath growing up in my culture. From we were children we were thought to always end with cold water, and we did a lot of snow bathing and/or ice bathing.) My question is this, after holdning my breath, I feel a strong urge to hold my breath again longer than 15 seconds before starting up again. Is there any reason not to do this? Any other thoughts of how to start working with the method while very ill and bedbound for decades?

Hello, thanks for the necessary and useful information that you give. Could you tell me what you think About the breathing technique of Wima Hof, described in the book of Scott Carny where he describes an additional exhalation at the end of a long breath holding with a muscle clamp. Thanks.
