The Wim Hof Breathing Method For Alkalizing And Strengthening Your Body

Health / 26 May, 2020 / Leave a Comment


Follow these steps to do the Wim Hof breathing technique:

  1. Get into a comfortable position (sitting or lying down)
  2. Take 30-40 deep, relatively short breaths with no pause between inhale and exhale. Use your diaphragm to fill your belly and then your lungs to full capacity, breathing in through your nose or your mouth and out through your mouth.
  3. Stop after the last exhale (empty your lungs completely) and hold your breath.
  4. Hold your breath for as long as you can.
  5. When you feel the urge to breathe, take a deep breath and hold it for 15 seconds.
  6. Exhale again, emptying your lungs entirely once more.
  7. If desired, begin the process again for another few cycles or a maximum of 20 minutes.

How To Meditate – My 3 Favorite Meditation Techniques

Meditation / 26 May, 2020 / Leave a Comment

Sit comfortably.

Get ready to notice when you start thinking.

1. Breath

Don’t breathe forcefully or change your breathing in any way. Simply observe it; notice the air flowing in and out of your nose and touching your upper lip. Feel your chest and belly rising and falling. If you like, count your breath cycles until you reach 10, then start again. If your attention slips, start over at 1.

2. Mantra

Pick a simple mantra that (e.g. “One” or “Omm”). Your mantra is a word that you should not have too many associations with, as this would engage your mind too much and be counterproductive. Visualize/Imagine the mantra gently floating towards and over you again and again, like a wave in the ocean or a leaf in the wind.

3. Mindfulness

Don’t do or focus on anything. Simply observe whatever comes to your attention in that moment – a smell, a certain feeling, a thought, an itch, a sound. Stay very mindful. If you notice your attention slipping, bring it back to an anchor (such as a sound or your breath) for just a moment, before you again let go of that focus.
