Wim Hof Teaches Mikhaila and Jordan Peterson His Breathing Method

00:00i will show you okay what can i can i do i will show you okay what can i can i do it along with you it along with you it along with you yes yes of course and you can yeah yes yes of course and you can yeah yes yes of course and you can yeah you guys want to do it yes yes tell me you guys want to do it yes yes tell me you guys want to do it yes yes tell me how you feel afterwards how you feel afterwards how you feel afterwards okay we just do one round i recommend okay we just do one round i recommend okay we just do one round i recommend you do it uh jordan you do it whenever you do it uh jordan you do it whenever you do it uh jordan you do it whenever you feel anxiety or uh deep you feel anxiety or uh deep you feel anxiety or uh deep neurological deficiency or whatever neurological deficiency or whatever neurological deficiency or whatever yes okay well that means i should be yes okay well that means i should be yes okay well that means i should be doing it about two or three hundred doing it about two or three hundred doing it about two or three hundred times a day times a day times a day i would say i i think if you do this i would say i i think if you do this i would say i i think if you do this then it it's like staying away along a then it it's like staying away along a then it it's like staying away along a longer and longer time longer and longer time longer and longer time but let's do it okay but let's do it okay but let's do it okay okay here we are relaxed take a deep breath all in and let it go all in all in let it go
01:00i will take the telephone then see how i will take the telephone then see how long long long you're going to stay first round 90 you're going to stay first round 90 you're going to stay first round 90 seconds seconds seconds one half minute after the exhalation one half minute after the exhalation one half minute after the exhalation without uh without air in the lungs without uh without air in the lungs without uh without air in the lungs for 90 seconds no force for 90 seconds no force for 90 seconds no force that is deeply into the neurology you that is deeply into the neurology you that is deeply into the neurology you will see will see will see just follow me and i will show you here just follow me and i will show you here just follow me and i will show you here on the timer that you do so on the timer that you do so on the timer that you do so and i will talk while well and and and i will talk while well and and and i will talk while well and and say what is happening because you feel say what is happening because you feel say what is happening because you feel it okay it okay it okay all right there we go all right there we go all right there we go this by the way this technique uh with this by the way this technique uh with this by the way this technique uh with this this this weeb uh change fundamentally weeb uh change fundamentally weeb uh change fundamentally uh medical sides of our perspective uh medical sides of our perspective uh medical sides of our perspective of what we can do within our of what we can do within our of what we can do within our physiological depth physiological depth physiological depth against bacteria virus depression against bacteria virus depression against bacteria virus depression neurological diseases etc
02:00neurological diseases etc neurological diseases etc but now you will experience so but now you will experience so but now you will experience so i will show the on the camera the the i will show the on the camera the the i will show the on the camera the the numbers numbers numbers oh god i don't know if i can do that oh god i don't know if i can do that oh god i don't know if i can do that there we go so now you got it there we go so now you got it there we go so now you got it fully in let it go fully in let it go fully in let it go fully in let it go pull in let it go keep on going the mind goes let it go keep on going the mind goes with the breath with the breath with the breath don't mind about nothing else but your don't mind about nothing else but your don't mind about nothing else but your breath the mind is a big player so let it be the mind is a big player so let it be with the breath with the breath julian pull in let it go
03:00keep on going fully in let it go become light-headed go let it go become light-headed go on fully in let it go on fully in let it go on fully in let it go 18 times more fully in 18 times more fully in 18 times more fully in let it go fully letting go 13 become lightheaded letting go 13 become lightheaded loom in the body don't mind just go loom in the body don't mind just go loom in the body don't mind just go it takes just a couple of minutes what it takes just a couple of minutes what it takes just a couple of minutes what we do we do we do to arrive at a deep impact on our to arrive at a deep impact on our
04:00to arrive at a deep impact on our physiology physiology physiology deeper than in science was thought deeper than in science was thought deeper than in science was thought possible it's all here then after possible it's all here then after possible it's all here then after the feeling because feeling is the feeling because feeling is the feeling because feeling is understanding understanding understanding we can talk eight more just go it's a workout eight more just go it's a workout stab it let it go stab it let it go stab it let it go in let letting go now now comes the last one letting go now now comes the last one juliet let it go juliet let it go juliet let it go and stop after the exhalation and stop after the exhalation and stop after the exhalation close your mouth no smuggling
05:00close your mouth no smuggling close your mouth no smuggling just witness there is no need for just witness there is no need for just witness there is no need for breathing breathing breathing the carbon dioxide has been blown off ph the carbon dioxide has been blown off ph the carbon dioxide has been blown off ph level uh level uh level uh is a really high there is no trigger to is a really high there is no trigger to is a really high there is no trigger to breathe breathe breathe only the brain could reflex but don't only the brain could reflex but don't only the brain could reflex but don't just be in the peace it's the just be in the peace it's the just be in the peace it's the parasympathetic nervous system deep peace no need for breathing deep peace no need for breathing just witness you're deep into the just witness you're deep into the just witness you're deep into the physiology of your being physiology of your being physiology of your being the way nature meant to be because you the way nature meant to be because you the way nature meant to be because you are right now are right now are right now in deep deep stress but you are tranquil in deep deep stress but you are tranquil in deep deep stress but you are tranquil it's a paradox we are really deep it's a paradox we are really deep it's a paradox we are really deep into our physiology right now no force and you changed your biochemistry
06:00and you changed your biochemistry and now the adrenal axis is and now the adrenal axis is and now the adrenal axis is shooting out through all the body shooting out through all the body shooting out through all the body resets the body any defect resets the body any defect resets the body any defect is being neutralized getting rid off is being neutralized getting rid off is being neutralized getting rid off 10 seconds small nine six nine six three two one three two one three two one fully it fully in and hold fully it fully in and hold fully it fully in and hold fully and hold squeeze it to your head three two one let it go there we are let it go there we are let it go there we are god i hated that yeah sure god i hated that yeah sure god i hated that yeah sure but this is the way we you know what you but this is the way we you know what you but this is the way we you know what you hit more hit more hit more this neurological defect yes and this is this neurological defect yes and this is this neurological defect yes and this is the way the way the way through deep stress activated through deep stress activated through deep stress activated consciously
07:00consciously consciously while being okay because it's while being okay because it's while being okay because it's maybe also because of the stress of the maybe also because of the stress of the maybe also because of the stress of the podcast podcast podcast and so yeah did we hold our breath for and so yeah did we hold our breath for and so yeah did we hold our breath for 90 seconds 90 seconds 90 seconds you could yes for 90 seconds you guys you could yes for 90 seconds you guys you could yes for 90 seconds you guys did 90 seconds did 90 seconds did 90 seconds here it's all there i probably did 85 here it's all there i probably did 85 here it's all there i probably did 85 seconds and took a tiny little breath seconds and took a tiny little breath seconds and took a tiny little breath yeah that's what happened to me too yeah that's what happened to me too yeah that's what happened to me too this is round number one right number this is round number one right number this is round number one right number two we would go two minutes two we would go two minutes two we would go two minutes round number three two and a half number round number three two and a half number round number three two and a half number four three minutes of holding back four three minutes of holding back four three minutes of holding back exhale exhale exhale into lungs yes you have you gotta do into lungs yes you have you gotta do into lungs yes you have you gotta do this then this then this then you will see how how do you feel well i'm not wandering around the room well i'm not wandering around the room uncontrollably moving and screaming so uncontrollably moving and screaming so uncontrollably moving and screaming so you know that's better than three or you know that's better than three or you know that's better than three or four hours of my day i'm still able to stay calm and sit here i'm still able to stay calm and sit here and talk to you and talk to you and talk to you exactly that's an accomplishment now you exactly that's an accomplishment now you exactly that's an accomplishment now you got to go
08:00got to go got to go even deeper and so in four rounds you even deeper and so in four rounds you even deeper and so in four rounds you will be able to reach will be able to reach will be able to reach after exhalation that is there is a after exhalation that is there is a after exhalation that is there is a understanding principle understanding principle understanding principle after exhalation means there is no air after exhalation means there is no air after exhalation means there is no air anymore in the lungs anymore in the lungs anymore in the lungs and you exhale completely yeah almost and you exhale completely yeah almost and you exhale completely yeah almost completely completely completely like i found i found if you if you like i found i found if you if you like i found i found if you if you exhale all the way and then you kind of exhale all the way and then you kind of exhale all the way and then you kind of bring your stomach bring your stomach bring your stomach up underneath your ribs yes up underneath your ribs yes up underneath your ribs yes um that helps i got taught that earlier um that helps i got taught that earlier um that helps i got taught that earlier this year it kind of helps in yoga that is the contraction udiyana in yoga that is the contraction udiyana bunda bunda bunda it's all you know it's all knowledge it's all you know it's all knowledge it's all you know it's all knowledge but this is all new and that it is true but this is all new and that it is true but this is all new and that it is true science makes it trust worthy science makes it trust worthy science makes it trust worthy it's data it shows that we are it's data it shows that we are it's data it shows that we are activating the immune system activating the immune system activating the immune system through this deep stress the adrenal through this deep stress the adrenal through this deep stress the adrenal axis suddenly spikes while you are in
09:00axis suddenly spikes while you are in axis suddenly spikes while you are in control control control how many breaths did you have us take how many breaths did you have us take how many breaths did you have us take about 30 about 30 about 30 30 30 breaths and then a minute and then 30 30 breaths and then a minute and then 30 30 breaths and then a minute and then and so with your with your your advice and so with your with your your advice and so with your with your your advice is to do the 30 breaths and the 90 is to do the 30 breaths and the 90 is to do the 30 breaths and the 90 minutes of breath holding 90 seconds minutes of breath holding 90 seconds minutes of breath holding 90 seconds 90 seconds of breath holding yes around 90 seconds of breath holding yes around 90 seconds of breath holding yes around that that that and then what i advise is this and then what i advise is this and then what i advise is this go without force
