Wim Hof The Iceman Demonstrates His Breathing Technique with Lewis Howes

00:00so we start up here with a basic so we start up here with a basic breathing exercise we also practice in breathing exercise we also practice in breathing exercise we also practice in the University with test subjects people the University with test subjects people the University with test subjects people and they show to have a control within a and they show to have a control within a and they show to have a control within a quarter of of an hour quarter of of an hour quarter of of an hour over the immune system related to the over the immune system related to the over the immune system related to the autonomic nervous system and of course autonomic nervous system and of course autonomic nervous system and of course it also works on the energy management it also works on the energy management it also works on the energy management in the cell cell energy management so in the cell cell energy management so in the cell cell energy management so it's learning how to get more it's learning how to get more it's learning how to get more mitochondrial activity in the cell which mitochondrial activity in the cell which mitochondrial activity in the cell which in the end is in the end is in the end is performance and you learn to control performance and you learn to control performance and you learn to control that how by doing that how by doing that how by doing this before a game a match competition this before a game a match competition this before a game a match competition or anything you do this you regain or anything you do this you regain or anything you do this you regain connection up till cell level and then connection up till cell level and then connection up till cell level and then your mind is able to program
01:00your mind is able to program your mind is able to program Cell It's called NLP Etc but we go Way Cell It's called NLP Etc but we go Way Cell It's called NLP Etc but we go Way Beyond we show it Beyond Beyond we show it Beyond Beyond we show it Beyond speculation because it speculation because it speculation because it is is is proven so right now you are going to do proven so right now you are going to do proven so right now you are going to do no no no less right okay breathe less right okay breathe less right okay breathe in take them in take them in take them on you've been relaxed here that means on you've been relaxed here that means on you've been relaxed here that means the storage capacity of the body for the storage capacity of the body for the storage capacity of the body for oxygen is best right now now breathe in oxygen is best right now now breathe in oxygen is best right now now breathe in fully letting go yes breathe in fully then letting go and breathe in go and breathe in fully letting go so belly chest even fully letting go so belly chest even fully letting go so belly chest even with the hat you can breathe in
02:00with the hat you can breathe in with the hat you can breathe in the brain contains also oxygen so feel the brain contains also oxygen so feel the brain contains also oxygen so feel that it streams into your belly into that it streams into your belly into that it streams into your belly into your chest into your head and then you your chest into your head and then you your chest into your head and then you Let It Go like a wave and let it go let it go okay feel it go okay feel it in letting go in letting go in letting go feel it coming in fully letting feel it coming in fully letting feel it coming in fully letting go and at ease tune in whatever you feel go and at ease tune in whatever you feel go and at ease tune in whatever you feel different now you become lightheaded different now you become lightheaded different now you become lightheaded losing the body tingling anything can losing the body tingling anything can losing the body tingling anything can happen that's only oxygen freeing itself happen that's only oxygen freeing itself happen that's only oxygen freeing itself in the depth of the body you just breathe toward those body you just breathe toward those feelings
03:00feelings feelings being light headed loose tingling and so we make that tingling and so we make that stronger thus we are de acidifying the stronger thus we are de acidifying the stronger thus we are de acidifying the body in the body in the body in the tissue that makes you oxye all cells in tissue that makes you oxye all cells in tissue that makes you oxye all cells in the body and then they become the body and then they become the body and then they become alkaline all within 10 alkaline all within 10 alkaline all within 10 minutes and the storage capacity for minutes and the storage capacity for minutes and the storage capacity for oxygen in the oxygen in the oxygen in the body is more than we thought you're body is more than we thought you're body is more than we thought you're going to experience that makes you able going to experience that makes you able going to experience that makes you able to stay to stay to stay without air in the without air in the without air in the lungs in 2 minutes just keep on deeply lungs in 2 minutes just keep on deeply lungs in 2 minutes just keep on deeply in letting go for more than I say first in letting go for more than I say first in letting go for more than I say first round you round you round you Sportsman 1/ half minute 2 minutes first Sportsman 1/ half minute 2 minutes first Sportsman 1/ half minute 2 minutes first R without air in the lungs second round
04:00R without air in the lungs second round R without air in the lungs second round more third round even more what's more third round even more what's more third round even more what's happening we are just showing that the happening we are just showing that the happening we are just showing that the storage capacity for oxygen and the way storage capacity for oxygen and the way storage capacity for oxygen and the way we are able to influence therein is we are able to influence therein is we are able to influence therein is bigger than we ever bigger than we ever bigger than we ever use okay you get it in we get a countdown now from in we get a countdown now from 20 deeply 20 deeply 20 deeply in and let it go in and let it go in and let it go and deeply and deeply and deeply in Let It Go 18 Let It Go deeply Go deeply in Let It Go 16 deeply in
05:00Let It Go 14 deeply in Let It Go Go 12 all and let it and let it go whatever you feel Li headed about go whatever you feel Li headed about go whatever you feel Li headed about loosen the body tingling breathe toward loosen the body tingling breathe toward loosen the body tingling breathe toward that intensify that intensify that intensify that it's all controlled yes deeply in controlled yes deeply in seven get them on don't hold back just go with the flow on don't hold back just go with the flow it's chemistry and you are dealing with it's chemistry and you are dealing with it's chemistry and you are dealing with that that that consciously five four
06:00three good two two one here he one here he one here he comes pully in letting in letting go and stop no breathing anymore bre relax anymore bre relax witness your body is Ox anergized you witness your body is Ox anergized you witness your body is Ox anergized you are very able to go past the condition are very able to go past the condition are very able to go past the condition conditioned reflexes the chemistry of your body reflexes the chemistry of your body actually is better than actually is better than actually is better than before and there is no need for before and there is no need for before and there is no need for breathing because it all is based on breathing because it all is based on breathing because it all is based on acidity acidity acidity breathing You Are alkaline no forcing just
07:00being looking at the magic of physiology witnessing just go with that physiology witnessing just go with that whatever you whatever you whatever you feel is different that is oxygen 1 minute oxygen 1 minute five without air in the lungs is good don't good good don't good leis no Force you're just measuring your leis no Force you're just measuring your leis no Force you're just measuring your storage storage storage capacity and it's capacity and it's capacity and it's okay 125 one and a half 125 one and a half fast still without air in the lungs and fast still without air in the lungs and fast still without air in the lungs and he is okay no Force
08:00he is okay no Force he is okay no Force whenever you okay and now fully whenever you okay and now fully whenever you okay and now fully in and hold and squeeze a little to the in and hold and squeeze a little to the in and hold and squeeze a little to the head cuz it's nice that's oxygen in the head cuz it's nice that's oxygen in the head cuz it's nice that's oxygen in the brain feels brain feels brain feels good natural hormones released good natural hormones released good natural hormones released dopamines dopamines dopamines serotonin it's all good 10 seconds okay serotonin it's all good 10 seconds okay serotonin it's all good 10 seconds okay you can let you can let you can let go yeah 140 first round go yeah 140 first round go yeah 140 first round now you know what it is all about fully now you know what it is all about fully now you know what it is all about fully in letting go you are The in letting go you are The in letting go you are The Alchemist you are doing it right now Alchemist you are doing it right now Alchemist you are doing it right now don't hold back just go into the de tune don't hold back just go into the de tune don't hold back just go into the de tune with your buddy follow your feeling okay 20 19 don't hold back go with the 20 19 don't hold back go with the flow he's doing good he surfing on the
09:00flow he's doing good he surfing on the flow he's doing good he surfing on the waves of this brain brain waves it has waves of this brain brain waves it has waves of this brain brain waves it has been shown that we are in the brain been shown that we are in the brain been shown that we are in the brain right now like GMA Theta Delta it's all right now like GMA Theta Delta it's all right now like GMA Theta Delta it's all there he's deeply into his brain now and there he's deeply into his brain now and there he's deeply into his brain now and into every cell of the body into the into every cell of the body into the into every cell of the body into the DNA regulating the chemistry 14 13 12 11 10 11 10 countown La launching we did it with countown La launching we did it with countown La launching we did it with NASA equipment by the way the brain NASA equipment by the way the brain NASA equipment by the way the brain waves so we are launching now not to the waves so we are launching now not to the waves so we are launching now not to the moon but the inside into the
10:00moon but the inside into the moon but the inside into the infinite cell the Infinity of the cell we are cell the Infinity of the cell we are going past the going past the going past the conditioning very related to conditioned conditioning very related to conditioned conditioning very related to conditioned breathing now we go breathing now we go breathing now we go past come in okay last one fully past come in okay last one fully past come in okay last one fully in and letting in and letting in and letting go just let it go and go just let it go and go just let it go and stop relax your mind is with whatever you your mind is with whatever you feel these tones in the feel these tones in the feel these tones in the brain the feeling in your hands feet brain the feeling in your hands feet brain the feeling in your hands feet body it's all body it's all body it's all oxygen it has been toned up I can see oxygen it has been toned up I can see oxygen it has been toned up I can see it it will be able to stay like 3 it it will be able to stay like 3 it it will be able to stay like 3 minutes without air in the lungs body is very alkaline right
11:00lungs body is very alkaline right now you could test that with the pH now you could test that with the pH now you could test that with the pH strips papers before and after see big strips papers before and after see big strips papers before and after see big difference not small difference big difference not small difference big difference not small difference big difference from yellow to Blue anybody can do it just be there in the flow it just be there in the flow of the oxygen roaming through your body making the cell alkaline and the tissue as well people do this before a match they well people do this before a match they become alkaline what what do you need become alkaline what what do you need become alkaline what what do you need with with with performance being alkaline not acidic yeah
12:00here is here is simple and it is simple and it is simple and it is effective and then it is your mind your effective and then it is your mind your effective and then it is your mind your mind is programming the cell first we mind is programming the cell first we mind is programming the cell first we bring about the right chemistry in the bring about the right chemistry in the bring about the right chemistry in the cell and then we program it how with our cell and then we program it how with our cell and then we program it how with our mind it has been shown in the mind it has been shown in the mind it has been shown in the University without University without University without moving so moving so moving so motionless to create more 300% more cell motionless to create more 300% more cell motionless to create more 300% more cell activity metabolic activity just a mind activity metabolic activity just a mind activity metabolic activity just a mind that's that's that's programming you can do all lot more it's doing well go with the flow relax
13:0040 40 past 45 you it's past 3 minutes is going to 45 you it's past 3 minutes is going to be there soon this could be a breakthrough for soon this could be a breakthrough for any per person you know actors with a any per person you know actors with a any per person you know actors with a lot of stress in Hollywood lot of stress in Hollywood lot of stress in Hollywood if they do this they're going to fly you if they do this they're going to fly you if they do this they're going to fly you pass the three 36 ful pass the three 36 ful pass the three 36 ful in and squeeze to the Head have a nice time as long as you feel time as long as you feel okay and Let It Go or as you
14:00feel purpose of this is to bring the feel purpose of this is to bring the body in a very alkaline state which is body in a very alkaline state which is body in a very alkaline state which is the right the right the right chemistry up till the tissue that's the deepest of the physiology recently it was not known physiology recently it was not known that this was possible now they saw in that this was possible now they saw in that this was possible now they saw in universitarian studies we got it and this is just one basic it and this is just one basic technique we are doing investigations on technique we are doing investigations on technique we are doing investigations on more uh of these more uh of these more uh of these techniques but this is with this one you techniques but this is with this one you techniques but this is with this one you got got got them them them nice it's nice it's nice it's cool cool cool relax we have have proven a the point
15:00relax we have have proven a the point relax we have have proven a the point already already already 3.6 seconds 3 minutes 6 seconds if we 3.6 seconds 3 minutes 6 seconds if we 3.6 seconds 3 minutes 6 seconds if we would go on now probably 4 would go on now probably 4 would go on now probably 4 3:30 3:45 maybe 4 minutes even in performance it's much minutes even in performance it's much but in experience is even better yeah he likes to go on better yeah he likes to go on [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] wow it's nice to fly man gosh wow it's nice to fly man gosh wow it's nice to fly man gosh unbelievable holy cow yes sir that's a unbelievable holy cow yes sir that's a unbelievable holy cow yes sir that's a holy cow holy cow holy cow right right up man amazing so good yeah right right up man amazing so good yeah right right up man amazing so good yeah this is uh one of the basic this is uh one of the basic this is uh one of the basic techniques oh that's just the techniques oh that's just the techniques oh that's just the basic yes can imagine what the advanced basic yes can imagine what the advanced basic yes can imagine what the advanced is holy cow
16:00wow that was 3 minutes yeah passed wow that was 3 minutes yeah passed really yeah yeah 3.6 oh my really yeah yeah 3.6 oh my really yeah yeah 3.6 oh my gosh that's a long time for gosh that's a long time for gosh that's a long time for me yeah that's good that's my presence me yeah that's good that's my presence me yeah that's good that's my presence man go my magical man go my magical man go my magical presence presence presence wow oh man I just don't let the Mind wow oh man I just don't let the Mind wow oh man I just don't let the Mind interfere so it's not blocking it didn't interfere so it's not blocking it didn't interfere so it's not blocking it didn't feel it felt a lot quicker like there feel it felt a lot quicker like there feel it felt a lot quicker like there was was was wow I'm still like yeah heightened sense wow I'm still like yeah heightened sense wow I'm still like yeah heightened sense of my voice seems really of my voice seems really of my voice seems really loud it's like everything is like it's loud it's like everything is like it's loud it's like everything is like it's crazy um well at first I was like man it crazy um well at first I was like man it crazy um well at first I was like man it feels like it was hard to hold and then feels like it was hard to hold and then feels like it was hard to hold and then I kind of went to a state of peace and I kind of went to a state of peace and I kind of went to a state of peace and like like like Zen but I was like oh maybe it's only Zen but I was like oh maybe it's only Zen but I was like oh maybe it's only like a minute then you said like 2 like a minute then you said like 2 like a minute then you said like 2 minutes I was like really I was like minutes I was like really I was like minutes I was like really I was like minut it's going by faster yeah than I minut it's going by faster yeah than I minut it's going by faster yeah than I thought time perception is being left in thought time perception is being left in thought time perception is being left in the brain the brain the brain I was like I thought he just said like a
17:00I was like I thought he just said like a I was like I thought he just said like a few words but then it was like a minute few words but then it was like a minute few words but then it was like a minute went by went by went by yeah crazy yeah life is crazy man I'm yeah crazy yeah life is crazy man I'm yeah crazy yeah life is crazy man I'm crazy about life the F wow the first one was F wow the first one was like really stressful in the body was like really stressful in the body was like really stressful in the body was like I felt myself sweating like like I felt myself sweating like like I felt myself sweating like everywhere yeah and the third one it was everywhere yeah and the third one it was everywhere yeah and the third one it was like I wasn't sweating as much it just like I wasn't sweating as much it just like I wasn't sweating as much it just felt like it was easier and easier and I felt like it was easier and easier and I felt like it was easier and easier and I could push harder and harder and relax could push harder and harder and relax could push harder and harder and relax deeper and deeper I think that first deeper and deeper I think that first deeper and deeper I think that first cycle my whole body is like rejecting it cycle my whole body is like rejecting it cycle my whole body is like rejecting it or something until it's starting to or something until it's starting to or something until it's starting to sweat everywhere yeah blockages yeah sweat everywhere yeah blockages yeah sweat everywhere yeah blockages yeah it's like it's like rejecting it and it's like it's like rejecting it and it's like it's like rejecting it and then I felt much cooler the second two then I felt much cooler the second two then I felt much cooler the second two times through we did three times right times through we did three times right times through we did three times right times through three times yeah and then times through three times yeah and then times through three times yeah and then the last one when I 140 220 30 and 36 the last one when I 140 220 30 and 36 the last one when I 140 220 30 and 36 and then last time did you say squeeze and then last time did you say squeeze and then last time did you say squeeze your hands is that what you were saying your hands is that what you were saying your hands is that what you were saying squeeeze yeah yeah squeeze the Hat squeeeze yeah yeah squeeze the Hat squeeeze yeah yeah squeeze the Hat squeeze the Hat head said hands yeah so
18:00squeeze the Hat head said hands yeah so squeeze the Hat head said hands yeah so IED squeezing oxygen in head it's funny IED squeezing oxygen in head it's funny IED squeezing oxygen in head it's funny the last time I saw like an image yeah the last time I saw like an image yeah the last time I saw like an image yeah the last third time I saw an image in my the last third time I saw an image in my the last third time I saw an image in my mind that that that's DMT yeah it was mind that that that's DMT yeah it was mind that that that's DMT yeah it was like diamond till trip TOA natur true like diamond till trip TOA natur true like diamond till trip TOA natur true yeah it was originally yeah it was originally yeah it was originally like like like a tree branch it was like like like like a tree branch it was like like like like a tree branch it was like U like a tree like spreading out like it U like a tree like spreading out like it U like a tree like spreading out like it was like a bunch of like I can't explain was like a bunch of like I can't explain was like a bunch of like I can't explain the type ofe was nice nice and then it the type ofe was nice nice and then it the type ofe was nice nice and then it turned an eye wow like almost like an turned an eye wow like almost like an turned an eye wow like almost like an Eagle Eye look man he is stripping and Eagle Eye look man he is stripping and Eagle Eye look man he is stripping and then and then it turned into like a then and then it turned into like a then and then it turned into like a phoenix like phoenix like phoenix like flying C it was like see opening like flying C it was like see opening like flying C it was like see opening like screaming and it was like it's turned screaming and it was like it's turned screaming and it was like it's turned into Like a Phoenix it was unbelievable into Like a Phoenix it was unbelievable into Like a Phoenix it was unbelievable and I was like is this supposed to and I was like is this supposed to and I was like is this supposed to happen or what amazing yeah whatever is happen or what amazing yeah whatever is happen or what amazing yeah whatever is in your mind you go into the dream state in your mind you go into the dream state in your mind you go into the dream state wow you know the dream state is the wow you know the dream state is the wow you know the dream state is the deepest yeah and a rapid eye movement deepest yeah and a rapid eye movement deepest yeah and a rapid eye movement level State that's in your deepest of
19:00level State that's in your deepest of level State that's in your deepest of sleep and you have no control now you sleep and you have no control now you sleep and you have no control now you control it you learn to tap in yeah and control it you learn to tap in yeah and control it you learn to tap in yeah and the the functionality of it the the functionality of it the the functionality of it is uh to release whatever is inside wow is uh to release whatever is inside wow is uh to release whatever is inside wow blocking wow and that's a DMT for and blocking wow and that's a DMT for and blocking wow and that's a DMT for and the deepest of the brain and and we now the deepest of the brain and and we now the deepest of the brain and and we now found the access into it amazing and found the access into it amazing and found the access into it amazing and that's what you experienc that's what you experienc that's what you experienc so because of this podcast we can bring so because of this podcast we can bring so because of this podcast we can bring this to everybody the world oh my gosh this to everybody the world oh my gosh this to everybody the world oh my gosh feeling is feeling is feeling is understanding yeah and when you're wow understanding yeah and when you're wow understanding yeah and when you're wow well we'll go into let's let's start the well we'll go into let's let's start the well we'll go into let's let's start the show that was amazing yeah show that was amazing yeah show that was amazing yeah yeah amaz we'll talk about it on the yeah amaz we'll talk about it on the yeah amaz we'll talk about it on the show [Music]
