The Wim Hof Method – How to Consciously Control Your Immune SystemWim Hof, holder of 20 Guinness World Records for withstanding extreme temperatures. He has climbed Everest and Kilimanjaro in only shorts and shoes, stayed comfortably in ice baths for hours, and run a full marathon in the highest desert (50 degrees celsius, 122 Fahrenheit) with no water & food.Wim is able to accomplish these feats with ease through the use of ‘The Wim Hof Method’ – a breathing technique that allows you to control the autonomous systems of the body.However the most earthshaking effect of the Wim Hof Method is the ability to consciously control the immune system to fight off diseases. Our immune system plays a significant role in almost all devastating diseases plaguing the modern world, and finding a way to improve it can help us discover new avenues for medicine.Wim worked with a group of university researchers to prove that anyone can do the extraordinary things he does. He’s took 12 participants who have no prior training, and instructing them over the span of a week. At the end of the week, each participant was injected with a bacterium than normally causes violent nausea, vomiting and fever for several days. However, with the use of the Wim Hof Method, the participants felt nothing (Wim previously did this and felt no more than a slight headache).Wim recently came to do a workshop with the Valhalla Movement team and explained that he wants as many people to know about this as possible. His vision is a world without sickness.So without further ado, here are the principles of the Wim Hof Method.
