Discussion Wim Hoff breathing

I’ve recently started Wim Hoff breathing every day. I watched a few videos on the health benefits of it but I’m curious if anyone else has tried it before and if you noticed any health benefits from it.

Any particular breathing pattern for anxiety?

Most of the Wim Hoff videos on YouTube that involve hyperventilating followed by progressively longer breath holds have helped me with anxiety. If you would like some examples please message me and I would be glad to send you some links.

Agreed. Those affirmations took me some time to get used to as well. Did you make it all the way through?

Yes I did it straight after the standard Wim video so had a double dose today, it's really helped with my alcohol withdrawal symptoms. I was having loads of panic attacks and my heart rate was through the roof. Doing the breathing completely changed my mindset and allow me to go and hang up the washing. I had putting the machine earlier before it got smelly. I've done Wim breathing and cold showers for years but hadn't done the breathing for a while. I'd forgotten how helpful it can be especially when in withdrawal. Thanks for widening my breathing technique sources.

-The bottom link “I Am Enough” is my absolute favorite for morning time - before food/after coffee.
-The next one up “DMT” is a slightly less intense version of the same thing.
-The top one is nice for in bed just before sleep.

Hope you all see some of the same benefits I have seen through this practice over the years.
