Let me say right away: I did not study under Wim Hof.

I only want to say that I based this on his Method, which is available online and has been described by him to one degree or another.

Therefore, I refer to it as the Wim Hof Method.

He is its Author.

Why do I have the right to say anything here?

I am a certified specialist in health-oriented physical education.
I have practiced yoga since childhood. I do everything described below myself, so I know for certain that it works.
I have given it to other people—it helps :)

I will simply explain how I see a Person who, starting from ZERO with a host of illnesses and problems, can start benefiting RIGHT NOW and INSTANTLY boost their immunity.

Do not pass this by; this is a very simple way to gain Health!!!!

You can start right now.

We start from ZERO.

What should you do?


Wait at least 2 hours after eating.

Sit down.

Relax.

Take a deep breath through your nose. Inhale Light, Health, Positivity, and Energy.

Exhale slowly through your mouth, with almost no effort. As you exhale, imagine breathing out your problems.

The inhale should last approximately 3–5 seconds, and the exhale about the same, or slightly longer.

At some point, you will feel dizzy and will no longer want to continue. DO NOT FORCE IT! No exercise is required! There is no competition. If you do not want to continue, that means you have reached your limit. Even if you only managed 3 such full, deep breaths.

Take a SPECIAL exhalation—it should be effortless, with the air leaving on its own. However much comes out on its own is enough. Relax as you exhale as well.

So, the air has left on its own. Now hold your breath after exhaling.

Hold.

Hold.

If, for example, you did 10 deep inhales and exhales, you will most likely be able to hold your breath for approximately 1 minute.

When you really want to inhale, start breathing this way again.

This is the second cycle.

Again, at the end, hold your breath after exhaling.

After that, do the third cycle.

During the third cycle, the hold will inevitably become even longer. For example, not one minute, but perhaps one minute and 20 seconds.

This is one indication that you did everything correctly.


How do you progress?

Gradually, your Health will begin to improve. Especially if you do this not once a day, but 2 or even 3 times. For example, in the morning and evening, and during the day.

There is only one measure of progress here: the number of deep breaths increases.

As you practice, over time you will discover that you no longer feel dizzy.

You will want to breathe this way for longer.

You will genuinely want to.

For example, at the start you did 7 breaths; a week later, 10.

And after a month, 20.

Do you understand?

Ideally, work your way up to 30.

But start with what you can manage.

Even if it is only 3–5 breaths.

And the pause is only 10 seconds.


What should you do in this intensive?


Write the following in this thread:

  1. How many breaths you take in a row.
  2. How many cycles you complete.
  3. What your final pause is.


Example:

6 breaths.
I completed 2 cycles.
A 30-second pause.

This means that the woman did 2 cycles of 6 breaths each and achieved a result of a 30-second pause.
Her first pause may have been only 10 seconds, but it is not necessary to specify it.


I wish you the following result:

30 breaths.
3 cycles.
A 3-minute pause.

This is a very good indicator of Health.

Three threes. One nine :) The number of God.

I’ve been breathing according to this method for two years now. Three minutes is just the optimal breath retention time for me.

Namaste☀

I had never practiced the Wim Hof Method before.
I practice intensely with Veretennikov’s School simulator✨(y)
I decided to try breathing here as well:)

Just 3 cycles of 10 breaths
The final pause was 81 seconds.
I didn’t look at the stopwatch during the breath retention; it just turned out that way, as described👆
My back, in the Anahata area, warmed up very pleasantly.

2 — 25 breaths, 100-second pause
3 — 30 breaths, 120-second pause

Today is the second day, but I still haven’t felt dizzy; I breathe with my diaphragm, perhaps that’s why.

For some reason, I’m getting fewer and fewer breaths in each cycle:
1 — 30 sec.
2 — 30 sec.
3 — 25 sec.
4 — 25 sec.
5 — 20 sec.

Holding for 30 seconds becomes more difficult with each breath

This situation indicates an inadequate reading of my first post.

I usually don’t pay attention to practitioners who, for some reason or other, decide to skim my posts or not read them at all...

I’m simply recording this once again for those who will see something similar and wonder why THIS exists at Veretennikov’s School.

All this is so that you finally start thinking for YOURSELVES.
