I've been exposing myself increasingly to cold winter showers at the end of each shower. I'd gotten up to 2 minutes, but tonight I hit 10+. I lost track of time because I became super emotional. I stopped resisting the cold and something so deep in me was activated. I just cried, and had vivid flashbacks to swimming in the chilly Colorado River. Unreal. I can't wait to do these for the rest of my life. I crave ice submersion now. Skin is warm, the ice water feels so good, like emotional healing I need inside of me. No shivering or pain, only release and freedom. I found the way out just like wim did

Thanks for the video Wim Hof! Three benefits not mentioned: 1. Nasal breathing, due to the shape of the nasal cavity, helps send the air down to the bottom of the lungs which are bigger and connected to the parasympathetic system. Flex your nose like smelling a flower. 2. Mouth breathing in dry climates will dry out your mouth and throat. 3. Nasal breathing helps filter the air better to reduce the amount of dust, bacteria, viruses, etc which enter the body.

Many Indians say to never exhale through the mouth either, unless you're running or working out...

Nasal breathing is better for several reasons: 1. Facial structure 2. The nasal system has mucous membranes and other components that are there to filter the air you breathe. 3. Nitric oxide is produced by the body to help deliver oxygen to your extremities when you nasal breathe.

I don't miss the breathing session in the morning or evening ever. 3. I started to watch my diet to the point where I can't believe I don't want puddings and chocolate and eat super foods. 4.i started yoga, again every morning without fail. 5. I'm alert but relaxed. 6. I'm calmer with myself and my kids. 7. I'm more aware of my thoughts, my self awareness is increasing. 8. I feel like I'm getting stronger everyday as opposed to getting weaker as I get older. 9 I started taking vitamins 10. I watch less TV, to the point of sometimes just sitting after a breathing session for a good time , just still. 11. Im generally more disciplined, the other day I did 5 loads of washing in one day, wtf is going on!!! Thanks wim for changing my life , love to all xxx

@@timmazumdar7167 I wasn't stating a universal fact. I was just stating my opinion. What works for me. That's why I prefaced it with "for me".

[@thomaspoisel6259]

Yep. That's, how breath is used in "Pranayama" - Exercises, also, - and that's very old vedic science!!! Mouth is fire/power. Nose both, but more "easy water" ... and there is one fact: especially, if u live in a city: The nose has a lot of "filtering qualities" for the incoming air. That's an important difference between nose n mouth - breathing! The most important thing is TO PRACTICE. After some time, all of u will be able, to get calm in a stress - situation, by just taking 3 breaths.... and that's the best anti - panic thing I know!!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️ It just takes some time, of practice, so that your body gets used to react instantly when you take 3 deep, conscious breaths, imagining, with the outflow, that all the stress you feel, just disappears in clouds (or something else..). IT WORKS VERY WELL!!! Best wishes. Thanx to you, WIM! Be blessed! (you showed the "average science", that you can do things which seem impossible!!! A great job! BRAVO!

I've been taught that it's impossible to panic if you breath through your nose. Andrelalin and lactic acid can't flow when you breath through your nose.

[@michaelgordon1613]

Been doing the breathing technique for the past twelve months as a mouth breather. Watched this video and tried nose breathing and it completely changed the experience, now I go really deep and have improved the length of time after exhalation tremendously.

[@didiermeynders]

Regarding breathing during the day (not doing the Wim Hof breath), you always want to breath through the nose. As the mouth is designed to eat (and talk), as in preparing that what goes in (food) to the belly, its the first step in the digestion process. It makes sure when it arrives in the belly, the belly can digest it easier. The nose is made to breath, and prepares the air into the right conditions to be easily transferred from the lungs to the red blood cells, ready to transport through the body. A mistake I sometimes see is that people think that its ok to breath out through the mouth (when not applying the Wim Hof breath). The thing is that when you breath out through your mouth you lose more CO2 what then creates in imbalance. When there is too less CO2, you can breath as many oxygen as you want, it won't be transferred from the red blood cells to the cells and tissues that need the oxygen. CO2 also makes the blood vessels wider to make your heart pump less hard.

[@stuartrussell4041]

I'm claustraphobic and the very idea of lockdown brought on a panic attack and was running wildly round the house. Then I began to rationalise. I'd heard that it was impossible to panic if correct breathing was practised. I forced myself to sit down and started breathing long, slow and deep (LSD) breaths through my nose. After about five minutes I was completely calm and after another two minutes I fell asleep. I was delighted and I promise you that proper breathing long, slow and deep through the nose will alleviate many mental health problems. But it has to be nasal!!

[@van1976]

I read recently Blood pressure goes down in nasal breathing and goes up in mouth breathing.

YOUR "WIM HOF - breathing - METHOD" combines different skills of breathing. For me it is the best technique ever!!! Thank you, WIM. Your "system" really makes sense!!!

[@timmazumdar7167]

The end result of the Pranayama practices might be wide or wider. Alternate Nostril breathing(Nadi Shodhana) , cleaning breath, bellows breath (Bhastrika). So no throwing away Pranayama is not a good idea. Learning Wims method is excellent too. In Taoism one goal is to breath into the Dan Tien - the lower elixir field.

I don't see a need to choose one or the other. During a breathing session, I usually do a breath through the nose, then one through the mouth. Sometimes two or three breaths with one or the other, then alternate. I do whatever feels right at that moment in time. It's also easy to control the amount of air coming in during a mouth breath. Just keep the opening of the mouth small.

What? Cooler temperatures all the time for sleeping like 60 degrees

[@Spitfiren]

You generally want to sleep in colder environment and have like a douvet e.g. 18 C. The sleep is much better that way

[@nadinepersaud6691]

You are I providing useful information to the world. Thank thank you. I have a lung issue started cold showers. I'm Feeling much much better especially.

[@senseisuarez]

I do not know how much appreciated your method almost two years ago doing it And If it wasn't for you I would be dead or in the hospital . Now I'm in the best shape of my life . I do exercise everyday and cold showers every morning regardless of weather and often Ice bath too. Thank you so much ! 💯❤️💪🔨🙏

2:10 quick correction: Wim is talking about nitric oxide , which is produced exclusively by nasal breathing. There is something called _nitrous oxide_ , but most people know it as laughing gas, the stuff you might get at the dentist.

[@JCImageInc.]

Nitric Oxide is also produced by the endothelium, the inner most layer of our veins and arteries.

Nitrous oxide is used for driving in the Netherlands

Was wondering this for the past few weeks. I breathe through my nose daily with the help of nasal strips. When I do my 3 rounds of wim with mouth breathing I get a much more intense sensation, tingling, awareness. When I try to do nasal breathing the experience is flat and my breath holds are half as long. I will try in through nose then out through mouth and see if I can get the same results as just mouth breathing.

[@nathant2984]

Update just did 3 rounds in through nose out through mouth and definitely an easier result while not having to solely mouth breathe. Was on a full stomach so breath holds were short, and still not as intense of sensation as just mouth breathing.

[@mrstrong2121]

You can take in more air in a shorter time through the mouth. Perhaps you need to adjust for this by doing the exercise for longer, or more cycles when using nose to breathe. For example, instead of 30 inhalation/exhalations then breath hold, repeated 3 times, you could try 45 repeated 3-4 times. I have never used mouth breathing but can achieve most of the effects described by wim and of course with increased breath hold duration.

[@alexninic6144]

Same with me. I was a little frustrated about doing it right. Then I read somewhere that Wim said we should pay attention to results. Give your best but also be aware of how you feel. There are variations. So I started inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Sometimes I laugh even though I inhale through the nose. I have always thought my lungs were OK, but now I see how much I need this practice. I have a sense of control, more and more and that feels good! No rush, just determination to improve day by day.

[@SirSubT]

Glad it's not just me! Nose breathing feels barely worth it for me, mouth breathing feels amazing to the point I've had minor psychedelic experiences at times. I wonder if we just have small nostrils?

[@nathant2984]

@@SirSubT not sure but I have been using breathe right strips for months now. Could be due to a deviated septum.

Nasal breathing is also better for your teeth and gum health. Mouth breathing adults are more likely to experience sleep disordered breathing, fatigue, decreased productivity and poorer quality of life than those who nasal-breathe. Thank you for these informative videos!

[@everleeherdson4925]

Thank you for this clarity Wim. I have been doing mouth breathing because that was how I felt I heard you were doing it. I did notice some of the tension you mentioned and a pressure in my sternum. I put the question out there, why I was experiencing this pressure, and this video came to me. I will move to nasal inhale for my next session 🙏

[@michaelwaskeymusic]

I thought I heard mouth breathing too and experienced the tension. Hoping nose breathing will help

[@CAP753]

Breathing through my mouth caused bloating and was advised by doctor to avoid.He was right as I changed to breathing through the nose and things improved.I am overweight.

I am dealing with a benign brain tumor and WHM has been the guiding light in my journey to health and happiness. My wife has joined me in this endeavor as she suffered a head trauma in a bike accident....Gravity and gravel! My question is an inflammation question, I have a wood fired hot tub at home and the heat stratifies, cold on bottom, hot on top, but I wanted to know if in my particular case should i finish a hot tub with a cold shower to mitigate the inflammation. Is inflammation exacerbated by prolonged exposure to heat? I am almost three years into WHM and my wife Kate has been steady for 3 months and 4 times weekly. After this it into the pacific we go!
