I think it's clickbait to write "dark secret" because Wim has always been very open talking about his wife's story and how her death impacted him. This man is such a legend. True inspiration.

[@yes-yv1po]

I don't think they meant dark or secret in the usual way there are different kind of dark and secret This one is Cold and sad

[@enlightenedwriter]

Nothing dark? Attaching yourself to the dream of living your life with the love of your life and wonderful kids and grow old together. Only to hopelessly be around the crumbling partner who commits suicide leaving you and crushing those dreams. As well as leaving the kids. That doesn’t exactly sound like a pleasant story

[@kaseyburlingham2861]

They secret is abandoning his kids for 10 years after his wife’s death and that only someone who is suffering deeply will continue to push the limits as far as Wim Hoff. Cold therapy and Yoga breathing are great, abandoning others people’s safety and well being to teach them how to push past discomfort is reckless and negligent.

[@annstephens9734]

@Fred Forbes are you not also personally attacking him? You said “why he looks so bad”. It’s not kind to write that what you are saying is a personal attack is what you said about this man. If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all. If you have ever experienced true grief where it consumes you as often it does with Suicide it takes a toll on you in multiple ways including the aging process. The point is that’s rude for you to say, it was rude for the person to say to you as well but I think the point is this inspiring story is being shared and still what’s commented is something we really don’t have a a whole lot of control over. Just everyone needs to be nicer to each other it’s not a good feeling to see anything written or hear negative things like that. I’m sure if the man in the video by chance did read that it wouldn’t make him feel good.

[@Gtree43]

I've grown to understand that life and this world can be very painful, for some it becomes too much, and that's okay, they chose to not deal with it anymore. Suicide is such a difficult thing, you have such a strong instinct for survival, that for me personally when someone takes their life, it just means they were ready to move on. This is how I handle it though, because it's not fair to take on another humans desire to leave a plane you're content with being on for a little longer... They're two forms of consciousness that are difficult to intermingle without losing some sanity.

@@anewagora Totally. When we let go of all, surrender, and accept ourselves and realities, and also open ourselves up to The Limitless Unknown we transform/die and are reborn into a new way of being. Breath is life, and connects us directly to the infinite energy all around us. What we are willing to open up to, and accept, and believe will determine what we percieve, and experience. Its all here and now, and we are manifestations of The One True Source. We create our own limitations and struggles, and how we react to these challenges in life is up to the individual.

He is a legend and no matter what people threw at him he took it on the chin and continued on his quest to help people. His whole passion is to help people and show them what they are capable of. Thank you Wim, I think you're amazing and I never once laughed at you, you inspired me. I use different cold water techniques because of what I've seen you do and it's made my life soook much better! He's truly brilliant, don't knock him.

[@anewagora]

He was never focused on becoming famous. He was focused on the agony within and the process of going into deep dark. He was meditating with the immense suffering, the hollowness of what cannot be undone. Being completely aligned and focused on that experience right in the present. Everything else that happens outside of that is just the ripple effect.

[@afrohawk]

I have been doing his most basic breathing techniques for about 30 days. I must say that it has become the most favorite part of my day. Yesterday, on the golf course, I did deep breathing before every shot and putt and I've never played in such a relaxed state. I shot the same score as normal, but I could feel how, with more focus and intensity, the breathing techniques could help me play better. I will say also that I have noticed that my cardio vascular endurance is up without having to run or do high intensity training. I know how to breathe now and my diaphragm has gotten much stronger. I recommend everyone give his techniques a try. It has become a daily spiritual/mental/physical cleanse and rejuvenation exercise and I've not tried anything that is comparable in either effect or satisfaction.

Nikolei, you are never alone because God is watching you. He wants you to beg Him for help. Because we human can't do much except when He gives us the willpower to do it. Seak guidance and help from Him. He is near when you call Him.

It’s strange that the majority off people have a fear of death. But anyone who’s had a genuine near death experience loses the fear of death? Most express the tranquility and peacefulness of deaths front door. Beautiful story ❤️

Truly inspirational. Your grief has given you a tool to help so many others. Sincerely thank you Wim.

[@williamramos3350]

Never knew this individual until today. This is beyond hard core. Losing someone who really made you feel alive and loved. Then turning his body into an unstoppable machine which allowed him to cope with the loss via the median of cold water. I know about endurance and that mental fortitude to keep going even when you want to stop. He is in a whole other realm. This has become his superpower.

[@DLKUNATHIII]

This man has changed my life, my wife and I lost our first son in 2019 and we have been doing Wim Hof since then to deal with our emotional trauma, still going strong today, with breathing exercises as well. Thankfully we have another one on the way, but i cant stop telling people how much this man has truly inspired us to carry on.

[@justsaying3594]

I was fortunate enough to drown when I was young child. Thank fully I was brought back. What this did for me was to understand exactly what he stated there is no need to fear death. once you start going it is actually peaceful. I started doing Wim Hof breathing and after the third cycle and especially that last dying gasp that brings you back you get that near death experience again and suddenly your body and mind is right with the universe again. It is as close to magic as you will ever experience in your life.

[@jaredh2011]

The way he tells his story, the way he talks, the way you feel every emotions he has while he is preaching this beautiful tale of how the human body and mind is unbreakable. When one thinks he's lost everything, comes back up with pain inside but strength so powerful is tames it and so much more than what was lost in the heart and mind. Truly a beautiful inspiring story.

[@MoyToy84]

I think you missed the point of the video. He forced cured his depression/despair by chance through something stronger, the cold. I shut out his thinking and gave him peace of mind. More like the cold forced him to use powerful primordial chemicals in the brain that we all have, such as canniboids and opioids, and we have forgotten to tap into. The pain was all in his head, love chemicals which are very strong and are mean't to bond partners was controlling his thoughts. Moral of the story is: 1. don't fall in love in the first place, because fall you will. 2. Nature cures depression. 3. Be in control of your body and mind. 4. We have powerful chemicals in our primordial brain that has helped us survive, and we are beginning to find this out. We all die, so stop grieving over something you don't control and live life to the best of your abilities, and enjoy it. Don't become a prisoner in your own mind. Yes we are stronger as a collective, that is how humans have survived in groups for millions of years, noticed I said survived. Survival is the biggest motivator, the problem is we have made our lives easier through technology, work at something we don't like doing, or let negative thinking and debilitating chemicals affect us. Humans are not mean't to be slaves and slaving away at work, we are mean't to be out in nature enjoying life and have social interactions, not social interactions through the phone.

[@72marshflower15]

Nice Ayn Rand bullshit. It’s an utterly false equivocation. Without any previous collective, no “individual” would exist. We’re hardly individuals when we’re comprised of an infinite number of collective processes. You can’t even call the, “individual rights” when they belong to everyone in the collective, thus the term “civil rights”. We might be specific person, but we’re not “individuals”. You’re just parroting the very status quo that’s betrayed you this whole time. You’ll see as people prod with their curiosity. 👇
