I did 2 cycles of breathing and sometimes I added a cold shower and felt like I was born again. When we decided to walk a part of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in the north of Spain in June, with 14kg of luggage – our son Yuri, and walked 15-20km every day, my legs and back were aching every evening and I woke up sore every morning. My body is recovering much faster after a sports activity and when I breath before the performance the body can manage much more easily and a lot more. Headaches from overworking were gone after two breathing cycles. Signs of a cold or a sore throat were gone before the actual illness outbreak several times. There is a reason why one of Wim’s mottos is: “Get high on your own supply.” Since the moment Tereza taught me this breathing exercise, when doing it I felt like I was on a good trip, in a completely different dimension of my mind and I started experimenting with it. This breathing exercise itself is very powerful and it is getting even more powerful in combination with the gradual cold exposure, ideally performed as 2-3 minutes long cold shower or bath every day.
It is mainly about doing everything according to your feelings because everybody is different. You have just completed the first cycle, and ideally, do 3 cycles in total, or how many you feel you need. You can sense a slight humming in the head or ringing in the ears, but it will go away in a short period of time. The happy hormones are released, such as dopamine and serotonin. 3) A full inhale into the head and breath retentionĪt the moment when you feel a strong urge to inhale, you inhale in the way that you push all the oxygen into your head and hold your breath for about 15 seconds. This is the moment when the right healing processes start occurring in the body, the immune system is activated and starts curing the inflammation. 2) The breath retentionĪfter thirty intensive inhales you fully exhale and hold your breath for as long as you can. Approximately after 30 cycles of inhales and exhales you start feeling a slight tingling in the body, I often feel it in my hands and fingertips, or your head starts slightly spinning, which is a sign of hyperoxia in the organism (increased oxygen). In the first phase, you take approximately 30-40 active breaths fully into your stomach, lungs and head with passive light exhales.
