Should I take a cold shower every night? #AskWim

Hi guys.

We are back...

with ‘Ask Wim’.

Questions and answers.

Here they come.

What would I do right now if I didn’t discovered the method?

I would still be doing the method because it works regardless of being famous.

Because I found it through intuition,

through instinct.

I was doing it without knowing that it could be a method.

I was already doing it for 40 years before I made it into a method.

Maybe that’s why the method became

fruitful to share.

And that's what I do right now.

Otherwise I would be doing the same thing.

Because it works.

Because it makes me feel great,

regardless.

Unconditional.

I have poor circulation in my hands and feet.

Can I still practice the method?

No.

First practice with your hands alone and with your feet alone.

Do that for a couple of days for 2 minutes

each in icy water

and feel the difference.

Once you feel that you are able to do that without pain,

then the circulation in the hands and the feet (the extremities) are reestablished to its natural condition

and then you are able to go into full immersion

and to fully do the Wim Hof Method.

Good luck.

Some people are more sensitive to the cold

and for them it is not suitable to go directly into the cold.

For those people; strengthen your cardiovascular system through breathing first.

Learn how to control the breath within

and changing your biochemistry, which makes you able to activate

the ‘adrenal axis’

which will make you become stronger.

But through the breathing techniques,

you will soon be able...

First, take cold showers

for 15 seconds, then 30, 45, one minute up till 2 minutes.

Then you’ll be ready for the ice bath.

Yes.

Can have more than one cold shower a day?

Yes!

As many as you feel.

If you feel that the cold shower gives you energy

when you are depleted again of energy,

just go into the cold shower.

You will see that it resets the body.

It always works.

I love it.

Ice baths?

I do it when I feel it.

Don't think just once a day or something,

If it is more times, I do it more times.

I just follow my feeling.

Follow your feeling.

You can do too much cold exposure if you follow your feeling.

Your feeling is there to give you the right information.

“Hey get out.”

“Now it's enough.”

Learn to feel.

not to think.

and coerce your body to go more and more.

No, no, no,

Feel.

If you feel,

man, you cannot make a mistake.

man, you can not make a mistake.

How would I go with injury recovery?

Retrieve within yourself.

Find a relationship with your injury.

Do the breathing.

Do cold compresses.

Wherever it’s needed.

Be gentle to yourself.

Sensitive.

Build up a relationship

That is interoception.

That is healing.

That is the fastest way to willfully supplement your power

of your being

into the healing,

and letting your body heal by itself from within.

No coercing.

a gentle relationship is love.

Love your healing.

Do I think that teens should do my method and try it out?

Oh, absolutely.

This is a great solution and a great answer to bring down mental disorders,

to bring down anxiety,

to take on energy,

and have plenty

to break down inflammation

and to process trauma.

Any teen should know this.

Power.

Is it okay to take a cold shower every night instead of the morning?

If you feel so, yes.

But the morning are mostly the best

Because then you activate the cardiovascular system to the deepest

and that is when action starts.

Yet, when you have a lot of cortisol in body

and you can't sleep really well because of the presence of cortisol,

then going into a cold shower could be an answer.

It raises the adrenaline and brings down your cortisol.

Hi guys thank you very much for asking questions.

Come on and keep on asking questions.

I like to answer.

‘Hey there’ is the answer.

a wrap.
