A little bit about myself: I'm Kitaro, a certified Wim Hof Method instructor, and Movement enthusiast. I don't like fitness. Instead, I like to combine Movement with philosophical thinking - if that makes sense. I try to publish weekly videos. So, if you like my vibe, please subscribe to this channel.

[@RalfNowak]

For me the best WHM guided breathing I found until now. All others have static breathing countdowns, here we increase speed at own level. Additional I pause the video for longer breathholds. Thank you!

[@annapilon2299]

This is so good. I also enjoy the sound of your voice, so soothing. Thank you.

[@Poetry4Peace]

His voice is great i like less talking it distracts and ruins my peace. Guides help a lot. I like hearing someone breathing and following that it's fun 2nd time i was puffing out with great noise:) just wish said when retention phase n a seconds reminder cus cuz I do with video off

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

For me,* Nice nice.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

I'm very rusty on this, but I'm able to do the first two. The last two I had inhaled for half a second. It's difficult, since you feel kinda trapped, like underwater, when you're not used to more than 2 minutes of holding your breath. Many cannot even do 1 minute, since they don't practice. 1 minute has been easy for since shortly after I first started to do this. Hehe. :3

[@szymonkie]

I agree!

It is crazy how someone somewhat conservative like me could absolutely change my perspective on world and life itself because of the Wim Hof method. When I discovered it I did it for several months and than switched to regular meditation and found Buddhism because of it. Now it's also few months since and I found yours as even better version for myself than the original Wim Hof breathing. Now I'm combining your method and meditation. Thank you so much❤ Namaste🙏

I began the WIM Hif method in 2018. I was overcome with stress and near the end of my 31 year career as a police officer. Kitaro your guided meditations here are perfect and I do them daily. I appreciate your efforts and teaching. These sessions are invaluable and have helped me leave anxiety behind. Thank you!

[@camistrukis8503]

Doing it at 5AM today, thanks for existing buddy

[@torgoron9695]

Hey, I've been there too (at various times of nightly awakenings). Keep going fella!

[@metalroofing6708]

I don't always make it to the end of the breath hold on the last round, but it always is a great reset anyway. Thanks for this great video! It is part of my daily morning routine.

[@NorfolkNorseman]

You are such a wise humble man. Thank you for all that you do

[@MrRamit10]

Thank you for making these breathwork videos accessible to all people

[@MrJColeman1987]

I've watched this video and done the breathwork with you maybe 20 times so far. Today during my breath hold in the third and fourth round I was brought to tears by a surge of feelings of power and confidence. It's like I saw the big picture of my growth and the end result. While tearing up, for the first time today, I did the full 2:45 breath hold. I felt elation, joy, happiness, confidence, power. And most of all I remembered God while holding my breath and thanked him for the work he is doing in me. Thanks for your help Kitaro Waga.

[@ryanbow100]

Thank you Kitaro, I met god/universe during this breathwork. I've been doing your breathwork sessions once sometimes twice per day and it's changing my life.

[@cominoengenharia]

- 1st round: 1:00 - 2nd round (1min 30sec): 4:00 3rd round(2min retention): 7:25 4th round(2min 45sec ret): 11:35 What I realize is that if I breathe too fast the oxygenation is not great and my retention time reduced comparing to when I breathe moderately fast. Also, I've experimented with a little expelling force, and the results were improved. This is my body, maybe you guys should experiment too.

[@jhinton91]

Agreed

Everytime i do this WHM with kitaro waga my whole body tingles my hands feel like theres electricity in them, my hands make the shape of a claw its weird.. odd enough i feel a strong vibration between my eyebrows.. thanx Wim Hof for ur method and thanx kitaro waga for doing it sooo well🎉

[@user-kz5cw2gj3w]

I like the euphoria that the WH method produces. Being a managed bipolar, the medication eliminated the positive side of the disorder. Now, I've found a breathing practice that produces it in a temporary, controlled way. Thanks for your work, Kitaro.

[@tear.1030]

Thank you,best version of this breathing that I practiced,great voice,great job...give you peace and love❤

[@leem9287]

Been doing this one every day. Only made the last round once. Almost there 💪

[@watcherworld5873]

I have been doing Wim Hof nightly for almost 2 years now. I use it to quiet the incessant chatter in my mind. I found that the more agitated I was, the harder it was to hold my breadths. However, even if I were to fail to hold my breath for longer than 1.5 minutes, my mind always became more quiet.

[@terryfinley7760]

My observations too!

[@torgoron9695]

Using it too for a similar purpose - to calm down before bed. Great to hear, there are others

[@hardenbro]

This was great. I’ve been doing wim hof off and on for 5 years, ritually for a year. I’ve had 5-6 min retentions, even this morning. But it’s been a lack of depth in the experience. The speed on round 4 took me to a whole other level. Thanks you!

Hey! I did the guided Wim Hof breathing from his official YT channel for a year. Then I got COVID. For two years, I have been trying to restart that routine but it's been hard. This is the first time I felt like I was doing it properly again. Thank you so much, Kitaro. You're doing god's work.

[@nostromo2871]

Put it on loop :P

[@torgoron9695]

To get that high, I just do the last round of breathing twice as long, i.e. 3 Minutes. I often only then feel that tingling

Thank you for teaching me how to breathe correctly. I have been doing wim hof breathing techniques for a few years and you totally changed the way I do it and helped me to not strain my internal organs in the process... I was inhaling much too forcefully and not relaxing my body when breathing out... it's had quite an impact and made a huge difference on how I feel post breath work. Thank you so much for helping me with that. I can't tell you how much it's improved in my life for the better. You the man! Best, Danny

Thank you, so much for taking your time to help others reach peace within. To anyone that may be struggling with self worth, love yourself. Even when you feel nobody else does. Give yourself the love you gave to those that took it for granted. And remember, you are not alone. I love you. Others on this thread love you. Keep that love flowing. The entire world needs what you have to offer. Namaste, my friends.
