Microblog: The Wim HOF Breathing Technique

Since breathing+meditation techniques are proven effective, let’s talk about the Wim Hof breathing technique. The Wim Hof Method also include Mindset and Cold Therapy but I am going to focus just on the breathing component.

🌬Inhaling oxygen is regulated by the autonomic nervous system, which includes the parasympathetic (rest & relax) and sympathetic (fight/flight).
.
Here are the steps to the Wim Hof Breathing:
1️⃣30 deep breaths in, with 30 small breaths out.
2️⃣Breathe in taking in as much air as possible, then breath out normally to reset your stomach to breathe in again.
3️⃣After 30 breaths, hold the final breath in for as long as possible.
4️⃣When you can’t hold your breath any longer, breathe out, then one last time, take a big deep breath in and hold for 15 secs.
5️⃣REPEAT 3–4x

⚠️Stay relaxed for a few secs when your body starts to react and wants to get air into your lungs. Feeling a little dizzy is normal in the process but make sure to be seated and in a safe place.

🔅Breathe properly and oxygen in tissues increase and adrenaline floods the body. Hof’s breathing technique, helps pull in more oxygen than is usually needed and stimulates the ANS.

🧘🏽By training your breath actively, you increasingly gain control over many physiological processes.
