Data shows that, simply by breathing in the right way, a way our bodies know intuitively, we can regulate our own physiological chemistry. Don't do it in a swimming pool, don't do it in the car. It is powerful enough that it is possible to knock you unconscious if done incorrectly.

Wim Hof recommends that these exercises be done while laying down. This is helpful because the body won't have to fight against gravity to get blood and oxygen into the brain and every part of the body.

He recommends doing this in the morning on an empty stomach. Try out the exercises by watching the full video and experience the benefits.

Great! Here we are. We are going to do the breathing. This is the first video of the Mini-Class. The breathing. Breathing, how to change the chemistry? You know stress? Oxidative stress? It comes through shallow breathing and a lot of stress coming in So much pressure on our lives... And that deregulates our chemistry. Now, I found a very effective way How to deal with this deregulatory stress coming in Chemistry inside of our physiology. Body and mind are suffering, normally, with this wrong chemistry. And with this one With these exercises I'm going to show You are able to regulate Your chemistry in depth. We have shown this in the university studies. And right now, here it is! Here it's going to come. Don't do this in a swimming pool! Don't do this in a car! Do it like me. I'm gonna do this lying here. Do it in your bed, on the sofa Wherever, because this is very strong. Very, very strong! And it is able to knock you out of consciousness. Just for a couple of seconds. But imagine what happens if you are in a car or in a swimming pool doing this. Don't do this. We are learning how to go deeply within our physiology The way nature meant it to be And that is going past our normal conditioning. Okay, you can all read it up! Go into it. Make you notes - your retention times See what happens with your body and with your mind. The thing is... This is a very effective way to become alkaline. We have shown this in the studies. So, become the master over your chemistry. Do these three rounds in the morning. And during the day, your blood is right on. This exercise goes as follows I'm sitting here, but I'm gonna lie Because then I'm most relaxed. So, I suggest you do this in your bed or on the sofa. If you feel really relaxed sitting, that's okay. So, what I do is ... I'm relaxed. I'm gonna lie down. I got a belly. I got a chest. I got my head. And with these three parts Actually, the whole body. Not only the lungs are breathing. We are able to manipulate by inhales Belly breathing is the deeper part of the of the lungs The chest is the upper part of the lungs. That is deep breathing, and even within the head. inhales We are able to... Receive more oxygen in the head, in the brain. It's logical because it's part of your body and oxygen gets in there. We all found this out. So, belly, chest, head That's the way it goes. Like this! inhales Let it go! exhales Fully in! Letting go! Not fully out, but fully in! Once again! Fully out means... exhales forcefully There's still more coming out. Don't do that! Just let it go! So, fully in... And let it go. Once you get this rhythm, you do this 30 times. Your head becomes lightheaded. You become loose in the body. It feels like woah Tingling in the hands and feet. It's all possible, and it's all ok. Breathe toward it! Intensify those symptoms. Lightheadedness, loose in the body, and tingling Make it stronger, because that's your charge. And then, you go 30 times - 40 times. It's okay! Fully in, let it go! Don't think in time! Don't think in numbers! Think in intensity. Think in feeling. Feel! Follow the flow of your breath. Then at 30, you take it fully in. Let go! You could time it. After the exhalation, let go. You stop breathing. Press the time device, stopwatch, and go! And feel! Round number one - you will be able to stay for one minute, one and a half minute without air in the lungs. This is round number one. When you feel the urge to breathe after the exhalation And then staying in, stopping breathing Timing. You take the urge to breathe, okay? You take a breath, hold it. Squeeze a little. For 10 seconds - 15 seconds to your head. Breath hold. And stop the timer. And then, you let go. That is round number 1. Then we go again. Round number 2. Fully in! Let it go! Fully in, let it go! 30 times - 40 times Whenever you feel lightheaded, loose in the body, tingling. Okay, those are the symptoms Intensify those symptoms by breathing toward it. Go with the flow! Feel! When you feel charged You feel very lightheaded, loose in the body, tingling is strong. That's a charge! You take it in... You let it go... You stop! Then time again, and let it go. When you feel the urge to breathe again Fully in, and hold 10 to 15 seconds. And then round number 2 is done. Then we go into a round number 3. Same thing, only every time the retentions are longer. Because you bring in more oxygen. Because you relax. Deeper. Every time more and deeper. Thus, more oxygen is able to get in And the retentions, that is the stopping of breathing after exhalation Will be longer, and longer, and longer. And it is longer because it goes deeper into the lymphatic system Then your chemistry becomes alkaline. More oxygen gets in. Acidity goes out. Alkalinity comes in. Amazing how simple and effective. After round three, if you like to do You do another round, like round number four Because you love it, because you like it, because you feel it. You will understand 'high on your own supply' when you do this. Round number three, round number four, high on your own supply! It's gonna be great! How to do the breathing best, is a question asked a lot of time I say on an empty stomach. In the morning, before you go have breakfast. That's a great time to do it. Or whenever you stomach is empty and you feel 'Hey, I got some spare time' 'I don't feel really good. I want to have some peace.' Then go into your breathing on an empty stomach On empty stomach, empty stomach! It's the best! Then you are able in three rounds to change your chemistry full on! Good luck! Hey guys, thanks for doing the breathing with me! It was great! So, from here we go into the cold, the next video. I got a great exercise for that. I mean, the mystery of the cold is going to be revealed. Let's get into this! It's there, it's beautiful! Good luck!
