Getting High with Wim Hof | Tree Climbing Edition

Ah just missed it!

Oh oh...

Oh f#@k

Celebrating the power of the earth.

I was thinking about doing something I used to do a lot 25 years ago.

Tree climbing.

Tree climbing is...

Just amazing.

I always feel so different after tree climbing.

It’s like 'grounding'

You get rid of the deuterium, the electrones, the protones.

Anything that should not be there...

A tree makes you able to heal within yourself.

Many times I have climbed this particular tree

Only it has grown

It has grown…

Before I could hold it...

Now I have to hold it like this.

Its a little bit…

It’s going to be an experience climbing up this tree today.

Because it got fat, strong and enormous.

Wow.

Look at this.

That’s my buddy.

I’m coming.

Come on!

It got stuck.

My little thing got stuck...

...behind a little twig.

What I’m going to do is get another one.

But I'm getting there.

Yes!

There it is.

Now we need the next thing.

Is it this?

This goes...

...on me.

There we are.

Safety first.

These are living beings.

It’s a windy day today.

And it's even more different during winter time.

It can get really cold.

But very soon your body adapts and you feel amazing.

And there’s nobody around.

You are alone with nature and become one with the trees.

They have an ability to 'show themselves'.

But you have to climb in them to experience that.

Once I’m there...

I’m kind of safe.

I reached the first branch!

Selfie...

Look at this.

Wow.

I’m enjoying the view.

The view is amazing.

You have to be here... it’s dangerous.

Height is there...

Vertigo.

It’s all there.

Be in the moment.

Be with the tree.

Become strong as a tree in the soil of the earth.

Wow.

The power of the earth.

The flow of the trees.

The sub-streams.

They resemble our blood flow.

Their exhale is oxygen.

Our exhale is CO2.

We are their 'food'.

They are our 'food'.

Ok I’m coming down.

The tree has become so big after 20/25 years not climbing it...

I mean it’s too much.

It’s like...

all the 'ghosts' disappear

Because you are in the moment.

You have to be in the moment.

Because there is no place for anything else,

then being here.

So if you want to do a real deep meditation...

Try climbing a tree.

Because that will totally get you 'in the moment'.

There is no doubt.

You will meet all the emotions.

Your thoughts and your concepts about it.

What’s important and what’s not.

Up there...

You’ll find out.

And you’ll feel it.

And then you’ll understand it.

That’s what tree climbing does.

Look it this tree.

Massive.
