The Wim Hof Method *Revealed* – How to Consciously

Control Your Immune System

We previously published an article about Wim Hof, holder of 20 Guinness World Recordsfor withstanding extreme temperatures. He has climbed verest and !iliman"aro in onlyshorts and shoes, stayed comfortably in ice baths for hours, and run a full marathon in the

highest desert #$0 degrees celsius, %22 &ahrenheit' with no water ( food.

Wim is able to accomplish these feats with ease through the use of )*he Wim Hof

+ethod) a breathing techni-ue that allows you to control the autonomous systems ofthe body.

However the most earthshaing effect of the Wim Hof +ethod is the ability to

consciously control the immune system to fight off diseases. /ur 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 is currently woring with a group of university researchers to prove that anyone can

do the extraordinary things he does. Hes taing %2 participants who have no prior

training, and instructing them over the span of a wee. 1t the end of the wee, each participant will be in"ected with a bacterium than normally causes violent nausea,

vomiting and fever for several days. However, with the use of the Wim Hof +ethod, the

participants will feel nothing #Wim previously did this and felt no more than a slight

headache'.

pdate3 4tudy is now out. Read the report here.

Wim recently came to do a worshop with the 5alhalla +ovement team and explained

that he wants as many people to now about this as possible. His vision is a world

without sicness.

4o without further ado, here are the principles of the Wim Hof +ethod6

#we highly recommend you to tae his online course or one of his worshops to fully beable to understand all the ins and outs.'

The Method

*he Wim Hof +ethod is similar to *ummo #inner heat' +editation and 7ranayama #yogic breathing'. 8et it is something else entirely. While Wim has studied yoga and meditation

for many years, this techni-ue primordially comes from what he terms )cold hard nature.9y sub"ecting himself to the bitter conditions of nature, he learned to withstand the
