I learned about the WIM HOF breathing method.
Thank you!
Have you heard of Wim Hof?!
Feel Energized with Cold Showers!
↓↓↓
【Chapter 1】What does it mean to Feel Energized by Cold Showers?
1-1. Core Message
Taking cold showers awakens our natural powers of recovery, immunity, and happiness.
Wim Hof, the author, has built extreme physical resilience—swimming in icy lakes and climbing Everest in just shorts.
【Chapter 2】The Effects of Cold Showers
2-1. Boosted Immunity
Cold water activates blood flow as your body works to stay warm, maintaining core temperature.
Study: Just 30 seconds of cold showers each morning led to a 29% drop in sick days (study of ~3,000 people).
2-2. Elevated Mood
Endorphins—your brain’s “feel-good” chemicals—are released, bringing on a euphoric “reset” state.
This works like childbirth or runner’s high: pain → release → bliss.
【Chapter 3】How to Get Started
3-1. Breathing Prep (before the Cold water)
A deep breathing method to do beforehand (30 reps)
Inhale through the nose for 5 seconds → Exhale through the nose for 5 seconds × 30 rounds
After the final exhale, hold your breath
Resume normal breathing once you feel the urge to inhale
3-2. How to Take a Cold Shower
Start with warm water, then gradually shift to cold
Pour over your head or body directly
Maintain steady, calm breathing—don’t gasp
Start with 30 sec to 1 min → Build up to 2 min → Eventually aim for 5 min
【Chapter 4】Post-Shower Effects
Your body feels warm and alive → Endorphins kick in = alertness & happiness
Improved skin, hair, and autonomic nervous balance
Deeper, more restful sleep at night
【Chapter 5】The Link Between Breathing and Health
5-1. Shallow, Rapid Breathing-=Prone to Illness
People with chronic fatigue or high stress often breathe too quickly
This increases heart rate and keeps the body in a constant state of tension
5-2. Improve with Daily Breathing Practice
Slow, deep breathing for 2 minutes (30 reps + breath hold) morning and night
As breathing improves, body temperature and focus also increase
【Summary: 5 Steps to Practice】
| Step | What to Do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Take a warm shower or bath, then do 30 deep breaths + breath hold |
| 2 | Switch to cold water gradually, and stay calm—start with 30 sec to 1 min |
| 3 | Extend to 2–5 minutes over time; mornings and evenings are ideal |
| 4 | Add 30 deep breaths into your day (e.g., upon waking, before sleep) |
| 5 | After one month, it’ll feel strange not to do it! |
【Caution】
Avoid if pregnant or if you have high blood pressure
It’s normal to find it tough at first—gradual adaptation is key
【Conclusion】
Cold showers + breathwork offer one of the simplest ways to activate your body’s natural healing powers.
Benefits include better temperature regulation, improved mood, and deeper sleep.
It was a wonderful experience!
60 minutes?!
It felt like 15 minutes.
