Thanks

Big fan from India 🇮🇳 love you ❤ This experience is top of the world

Is it normal for your neck to feel strained when deep breathing? My neck started feeling strained and my lungs feel really restricted, especially in the upper lung area. Do you have any suggestions to improve it?

I felt so calm after doing this breathing technique along with your video. Will do this for 30 days straight. Thanks, Kitaro!

I really appreciate it. I am doing intense breathwork from some time. I would be happy to learn about this technique.

Great video

Yes. So you have encapsulated my thoughts on this. I've struggled with willpower management for quite some time. But through my growing/ongoing breath/cold/mindset work, though I still struggle, I have become more resilient in terms of how I motivate myself when unmotivated or "lazy". All of this is really a practice, a constant learning. Even when I feel like I have sunk too deeply into routine, I manage to break out through cultivating my awareness. Again, thank you for your insights!

When the first music started playing (its the same you use in one of your breathworks) my skin instantly crawled. I'm a welder, and I work in various countries in very limited amounts of time to get money, so that I can go back home and enjoy a long period of "relaxation" or "calm". The more I do it, the more I am aware of how valuable the interactions with my familiy are, how limited everything we do is, and how grateful I am for having this lifestyle. Currently I am in the Netherlands and shall return home in two weeks time, and when I arrived I was absolutely shocked by everything I don't have anymore, but by remaining true to the ongoing exposure to unwanted scenarios, breathworks and cold showers are also a part of this. During breaks I breath deeply and fully, while surrounded by people, and my mental activity is at its highest in those moments, I start to enter a narrative of how I am percieved by others by doing this unorthodox practice in such an environment, which I also consider to be an exposure to this unwantedness, And after the first round, after the exhale that comes after the 15 seconds inhale, everything fades. Suddenly I am in tune with my heart rate that drops significantly and I am unafraid of what I look like, and indulge in the practice further. Everything that is social related blurs a little and I am much more aware of the constant popping of thoughts that are quickly regarded, aknowledged and allowed to fade once more. The second round usually focuses on physical sensations like birds and leaves in the distance, while chatter remains in the background (it especially helps since I don't understand the language, meaning that I have no care for what it could mean). Third round becomes this.... Limbo mode, where I either indulge fully into a deep state of mental relaxation and a great awareness of how tense my body is and where I feel some form of mild discomfort (like feet hurting, or lower back aching) and adjust my posture accordingly. I've been keeping to this practice every day since I have been here. And I feel I grow with it everyday. Ah... And I have your videos in my phone that keeps me company through this practice. I can but be deeply thankful for what you have brought to me (and so many others) All of that said. Thank you Kitaro, I truly mean it!

I love this video. Such a clear description of how to develop willpower and the need for a growth mindset. Thank you

It is always delightful to see how passionate you are about this particular subject. It takes some wisdom to tackle these topics the way you do and this might be your content's greatest aspect. Thank you very much for putting in the time and work. All of this is very insightful

I come back here everytime before going in the cold :)

Great info Kitaro! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Great video thank you

Excellent

Dam right support this at first I’m not going to lie I thought and I was being judgmental for no reason what so ever. But I though this was not going to be effective or any good but was i mistaken what a regrettable action it would of been if I had of swiped past this. You have remarkably presented this differently the calmness that comes from the narration helps you to hold out on retention longer than the time given the energy you get takes you away somewhere different locked in proper. In comparison to other videos this by far is my favourite and go to video. The other people are amazing too but they are to excited in there voice when holding breath out you need calm if you get what I mean amazing. This and an ice bath wow does wanders well ice bath first then this strat after amazing thank you ONELOVE .

Enjoy listening to your thoughtful insights. I've come to the conclusion breath work is very much like learning a martial art. Once the penny drops you realise this is not about breaking retention records but a lifetime practice. Keep up the great content.

I use WHM to fight my stroke

Brother, have you ever experimented with doing double inhales on the hyperventilation part of the wim hof breathing? Hubes claimes the physiological sigh to be the fastest way to get rid of excess co2. From my experience when i do double inhale and a mid range exhale rhythmically, i do get the tingling consistently after 30-45 seconds in. Really cuts time and feels effortlessly compared to regular 2 minute hard in and exhales. Much love.

That was great insight to be more mindful with purpose when doing this practice. 🙏

super interesting. thanks for that free content and analysis! 😊

I saw 80% oxygen level and wim saying that's okay while my watch was telling me to go see a doctor, but it immediately shot up after breathing in

It has been 5 years now, as I enter the age of 30, I have lost 45kgs of fat, built resiliency, and confidence I thought I've never had. Nothing builds a healthy man and his behaviours better than the state of Hormesis. I'm just happy to be able to realize and experience it at the age of 25. Next goal is to master the handstand! Hopefully by the age of 35. Thank you for sharing these insights, since you don't have to, but still do.

100% one of the best breathing sessions anyone can have! I made a discovery during this session that I have been trying to understand since i started doing the breathwork. I found that i feel the best when I start slowly go near my full out in the middle and go slowly in the end or when I go intermidiently all the way. I think this is the concept that Buddha discovered and it is that you have to find ballance/ the middle way. When i go full out I feel insanly energetic but my muscles are very stiff at the end and it feels like getting shocked by an electric current. When i go slowly I cant really feel the effects. I still need to discover more so if someone feels the same as I do please spare some advice. Thank you

learned so much from this. I have started the stalder press journey and I am excited for the failure and the process rather than the final form of stalder. While i watched you it felt like miyamoto musashi was explaining it .Loved the pace of the video.😇😇😎

This is a wonderful breath work exercise. Thanks for everything you are doing to improve the quality of people's lives. Great work!! P.S. It appears that you've made a fan of Ben Greenfield. I've heard him mention your name at least twice on his podcast as of late😊.

crotch to camera telling me to forget what uncomfortable means...

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...

Thank you, monkey mind is gone. Another beautiful start to a beautiful morning.

Κάνω κάθε πρωί κρύο ντους ασκήσεις αναπνοής και 50 προς πας ένα σχόλιο σας ευχαριστώ.ειμαι 57 ετών.❤

giant clickbait. I also barefoot but this is too much.

This is the best compilation of advice from the experts and self that I have seen

I’ve done the WHM at various points with varying consistency and mixed results. The last few times I did it I ended up getting sick a day or so after. I also noticed that the more I practiced the method the shorter the duration of the positive effects. In fact, I ultimately decided it was a net negative for me which is disappointing because I really enjoyed it early on.

Good wisdom. This is also the essence of zen, but after decades of practice I need all the reminders I can get! Brad Warner says it here, relating it to our crazy modern life: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZqpqKdtaa91fas&ab_channel=HardcoreZen

What's the song at the end?

Enlightening gentleman 👏

Is there the risk to become addicted on cold showers? I used to take them everyday but I had to stopped bc I got sick and then my life started going down, overthinking came back and bad days as well. Probably I didn't focus on letting go?

I find my mind tends to go blank and it’s very peaceful

🗣📢Thank you for teaching us how to heal ourselves...Your work is truly stupendous❗❗🤝💪😤💨👍🌊🔜🏋️‍♂️🏃‍♂️🚵‍♂️

Thank you very much. Please explain why the breathing should not be done near water.

Crap, bad knees needs an exercise physiologist.

It would help if you wore shorts or slightly tighter trousers so I can see better what angles your hips and knees are at

the man in the examople skipped the part where it says relaxed passive exhalations and scrupulously did the inhalations, because the exhalations took TOO LONG,they were suddenly too many and he became bored or tired or a mix of the two

Thank you, I am greatful for another beautiful morning.

I try to fight against my serious stroke with WHM and your films

but you're still doing it wrong, you're hyperventilating - just do a guided breathing with wim hof and you'll see the difference ... I agree completely with your views on nowadays' terrible urge to fill the gaps and the need of being 'bored' !

swap your coffee, drink Teeccino instead - it's herbal coffee, zero caffeine. Just like herbal tea isn't made from tea, herbal coffee isn't made from coffee, it's herbs!

Hi Kitaro, wonderful content. I would like to know more about mindset if you might do another video about that. Also, can these techniques help with panic attacks and ptsd? Many thanks for everything and for the content you share.

true my knees made a clicking noise...and right now is fixed somehow

Are you supposed to twitch like an epileptic by the end? I seriously had some a massive muscle twitch session by the end.

Leaving a dislike right when starting the video, due to the misleading and clickbait title which follows the partern "you're doing ______ wrong". IF the video has good advice and some true in it, I will gladly change the dislike.
