Speaker 1: What if we could control the deep autonomic nervous system.
Speaker 1: The immune system. Inflammation is the course and effect of
Speaker 1: actually every disease. I'm into healing, into bringing down inflammation,
Speaker 1: and that is what I give to people within an hour.
Speaker 1: So better control over the immune system, better control over
Speaker 1: the central nervous system, and you learn to clean the
Speaker 1: biochemical residue, which is the result of our daily life
Speaker 1: Actic Modern Life, the number one health and wellness podcast.
Speaker 2: Jay Sheety Jay Shetty, Hey, everyone, welcome back to On Purpose,
Speaker 2: the place you come to become happier, healthier and more healed.
Speaker 2: I am so grateful that you decided to tune in today.
Speaker 2: Today's guest is truly an icon in this world, someone
Speaker 2: that has been able to share prolific lessons, life changing
Speaker 2: habits and practices that have transformed millions of people's lives.
Speaker 2: His personal journey is also remarkable. I'm really excited to
Speaker 2: reintroduce because we've had him on the podcast once. Please
Speaker 2: welcome Wim Half Wim. It is such a joy. The
Speaker 2: last time I interview it was on Zoom during the pandemic.
Speaker 2: Today we're finally meeting for the first time and as
Speaker 2: a fan of your work, and as a deep believer
Speaker 2: in your work, I'm so excited to have you here,
Speaker 2: so thank you so much.
Speaker 1: It's great to meet you in physical presence. I can
Speaker 1: feel your energy. It's great. Yeah, you're really a good
Speaker 1: man with very important work. Being here, I'm able to
Speaker 1: transmit something new, organic life from the heart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Wim, thank you so much. And the
Speaker 2: feeling is mutual. And I want to start by asking
Speaker 2: you because what I find amazing is people like yourself
Speaker 2: who've dedicated their lives to certain work. And I want
Speaker 2: to to ask you, what do you believe in so deeply?
Speaker 2: Why do you believe so deeply in your work and
Speaker 2: the impact that it's making that allowed you to dedicate
Speaker 2: your whole life to it.
Speaker 1: I think it was my mother at my birth who invocated.
Speaker 1: Is a naive, god fearing mother, and yet in fear
Speaker 1: that this baby was going to die. There was the
Speaker 1: second baby, and nobody knew there was a second one.
Speaker 1: I was too deep in so I was too long
Speaker 1: and almost suffocated. I came through her fear and pushing
Speaker 1: and invocating, Oh God, let this child live. I will
Speaker 1: make him a missionary. So I don't think it is
Speaker 1: my drive, but it is invocated by my mother, a
Speaker 1: naive mother. Yet god fearing is a formula. It is
Speaker 1: a powerful formula that is impregnated. It's tattooed on my soul.
Speaker 1: While I was nothing more than a purple little nothing
Speaker 1: coming out there, defenseless, and yet there her invocation came
Speaker 1: right into me. And how that all works. It works
Speaker 1: because I've been talking to her. And when I was twelve,
Speaker 1: I told my friends, if the world thinks that's the
Speaker 1: way it begins to reveal itself, twelve years, you start
Speaker 1: thinking about what is life. If the world think that
Speaker 1: is a hunger, abuse, pollution, disease, darkness, depression is normal,
Speaker 1: then I think it is sick and I'm going to
Speaker 1: do something about it. And what I do not know,
Speaker 1: I just do it. That is where it came from.
Speaker 1: And since then it starts, and every moment is a drop.
Speaker 1: After forty to fifty years to draw all those drops
Speaker 1: have become a tsunami, a way through the thick wall
Speaker 1: of ignorance, because I think it is all sickness, disease, darkness, depression, wars, pollution,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Is just based in ignorance. So I've come
Speaker 1: up with a way looking in nature, not in books.
Speaker 1: Something that works that makes that overwrites my mind of
Speaker 1: all that has been filled up with. And then the
Speaker 1: cold water came in, and from the cold water you
Speaker 1: learn to breathe different, and with that deep breathing you
Speaker 1: go past the conditioning, and then you see all what
Speaker 1: has been written for real here now and then, because
Speaker 1: it is so close, it's so direct, I had no
Speaker 1: need for looking in esoteric books anymore, traditions, languages, religions,
Speaker 1: anything like that. No, God was suddenly here and now
Speaker 1: this is. It was the first time my feeling when
Speaker 1: I went into the core order, and I've been doing
Speaker 1: it since ever. And you know what, it was my
Speaker 1: mother's invocation. She was God fearing, Catholic and all. And
Speaker 1: right now the priests of the Catholic Church itself, the doctors,
Speaker 1: the theologists, they are coming and they are integrating the
Speaker 1: Whimhoff method in the deep religious esoteric disciplines of the Church,
Speaker 1: which is equal's mysticism of Islam, Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism. It's
Speaker 1: all the same layer. And that layer now has been
Speaker 1: hit and recognized by the best in the Catholic Church.
Speaker 1: The most learned of men. And if they are able
Speaker 1: to recognize that, then I say I am not into
Speaker 1: an abstracting knowledge in philosophies and azo theoretic disciplines making
Speaker 1: it all so difficult. Make God where is He? Where
Speaker 1: is He? If we go and it is recognized by
Speaker 1: the best of them to be a highly esoteric discipline,
Speaker 1: then now the discipline is there for everybody accessible in
Speaker 1: a half hour. That means God is back.
Speaker 2: For someone who has no idea what the whim Hoff
Speaker 2: method is, how would you break it down for them
Speaker 2: and introduce them.
Speaker 1: To It is simple, It is scientifically endorsed, and I'm
Speaker 1: inviting all the time. I got big studies done recently
Speaker 1: they are into publishing and it all shows the effectivity
Speaker 1: to go past our normal control, willful control within our bodies.
Speaker 1: What if we could control emotion? What if we could
Speaker 1: control the deep autonomic news of a system, the immune system.
Speaker 1: Those matters are now present and shown in signs that
Speaker 1: we are able to control that. So that is based
Speaker 1: through very simple techniques.
Speaker 2: And what would change if we could control those before
Speaker 2: we know the techniques. If we could control those systems,
Speaker 2: what does that mean for humans? What are the benefits.
Speaker 1: Oh, there is some multiple benefits from inflammation. Inflammation is
Speaker 1: the cause and effect of actually every disease. And we
Speaker 1: showed that people injected with the bacteria could withstand the
Speaker 1: influence of the bacteria on the immune system. Thus the
Speaker 1: inflammation which normally happens within that controlled experiment, this time
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen. So people bring down the course and
Speaker 1: effect of disease, which is inflammation. And we showed that
Speaker 1: in science. Now we see where we are in the
Speaker 1: world with the COVID. When there was COVID, we had
Speaker 1: to talk and medicines and pills. It's all money, money, money, money, money.
Speaker 1: So I'm into healing, into bringing down inflammation. That that
Speaker 1: is what I give to people. Within an hour. The
Speaker 1: techniques come within an hour. Before they thought, how much
Speaker 1: time does it take for people to learn what you
Speaker 1: can do bringing down the inflammation after an injection of
Speaker 1: a bacteria, Does it take a year one to have
Speaker 1: here A said ten days and then it became four days,
Speaker 1: and now is a half hour. So better control over
Speaker 1: the immune system, better control over the central nervous system,
Speaker 1: which includes our emotions. So our emotions become much more
Speaker 1: pacified by doing this and you learn to clean the
Speaker 1: biochemical residue, which is the result of our daily life,
Speaker 1: actic daily modern life. So we bring our emotions, learn
Speaker 1: to regulate our emotions. We get a lot more energy
Speaker 1: because of the cardiovascular fitness. Workout, a cold shower, it's
Speaker 1: so easy. Also, it's remarkable. There was just last week
Speaker 1: I wasn't Poland with five hundred people in the mountains
Speaker 1: and there was one guy saying, oh wait, I'm doing
Speaker 1: the cold and I'm doing this, but my results get lower.
Speaker 1: I say, come forward, come here on stage. So how
Speaker 1: many pushups can you do? And he said fifteen? Now
Speaker 1: breathe this way for thirty times, fully in, lady, go
Speaker 1: fully and be with your mind in one thing. You
Speaker 1: give the best you got. That's that's all. Follow your
Speaker 1: breath fully in fully and thirty times thirty times. Last
Speaker 1: time you fully in, let it go on empty lungs.
Speaker 1: He did forty pushups. You see, the breath is power.
Speaker 1: If you know how to manipulate the nervous system, then
Speaker 1: you are able to generate a much greater power.
Speaker 2: And you're breathing in through your nose and out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that it doesn't matter so much.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what you breathe out through your mouth
Speaker 2: or out through your eu.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it matters a little, they say, the nitrogen in
Speaker 1: and through the nose. But if you do, it's such
Speaker 1: a short period of time. You go just into the
Speaker 1: depth of the whole body. You cleanse the body of
Speaker 1: its biochemical residue which is caused by stress of daily life.
Speaker 1: And therefore just breathe. Don't think about nasal breath. You know, Suria,
Speaker 1: Beata and Chandra and kumbakas and all that. No, don't
Speaker 1: be no difficulties if you. If you we go back
Speaker 1: to potentially. Potentially says in the beginning Ata yoga yoga
Speaker 1: or the yoga is the silencing of the modifications of
Speaker 1: the thinking brain. Then the seer appears that unconditional power.
Speaker 1: That is where I am aiming at. I just want
Speaker 1: to go through the conditioned mind and body. And we
Speaker 1: are doing the studies with the psychiatrists, neuroscientists, immunologists, and
Speaker 1: it shows that we go where in science was stated
Speaker 1: this is not possible for humans, et cetera, And now
Speaker 1: it is. And that's my aim. Within a half hour,
Speaker 1: I want people to feel their real power.
Speaker 2: So the first step is thirty breaths, full breaths in
Speaker 2: and out. Yes, And do you recommend this doing this
Speaker 2: first thing in the morning, or is there an empty stomach?
Speaker 1: Empty stomach is of course at the best. Or where
Speaker 1: you take shower, take also a cold shower and try
Speaker 1: it out once that your push How many push ups
Speaker 1: can you do if you look to this podcast and
Speaker 1: you do only this bio hacking great trick thirty times
Speaker 1: fully in relax on a chair or you sit on
Speaker 1: the ground, and you know how many push ups you
Speaker 1: can do? You want to see how you can influence
Speaker 1: the neuromuscular mechanisms in the body for power. Just use
Speaker 1: your breath. It's so simple.
Speaker 2: It's really interesting because if you look at boxes, they
Speaker 2: all know the value of breath. If you look at athletes,
Speaker 2: they all know the value of the breath. If you
Speaker 2: look at musicians who play wind instruments, they know the
Speaker 2: value of the breath. If you look at singers, they
Speaker 2: know the value of the breath. So this is something
Speaker 2: that we've known, but for some reason we haven't applied
Speaker 2: it to normal life because we all are athletes in
Speaker 2: our own way in an everyday life, and I think
Speaker 2: we've lost connection with that. I remember when the first
Speaker 2: day I went to join the monastery in India, I
Speaker 2: saw a young monk teaching younger monks and I went
Speaker 2: up to that young monk. He was like ten or
Speaker 2: eleven years old, and I said, what did you teach them?
Speaker 2: And he said, it's their first day of school? And
Speaker 2: I said, oh, well, what did you teach them? And
Speaker 2: he said what did you learn on your first day
Speaker 2: of school? And I said maybe ABC one, two three,
Speaker 2: I can't remember. And he said, well, I just taught
Speaker 2: them how to breathe. And I said, what do you
Speaker 2: mean you taught them how to breathe?
Speaker 1: Oh, but this is important Jay here in America with
Speaker 1: the shootings in the school. To simplify, a monkey has
Speaker 1: difficulty learning how to swim, and the fish has difficulties
Speaker 1: learning how to climb. Our minds and every person is different.
Speaker 1: Some fit into the system and some don't. They get
Speaker 1: conflict with their identity and so much when the stress
Speaker 1: comes in and they still have to perform and give
Speaker 1: results and cognitively keep on and they feel not good
Speaker 1: compared to others, and all that might jeopardize the identity.
Speaker 1: And that goes in many cases to where they lose it,
Speaker 1: then they should their father, their mother, their siblings, and
Speaker 1: then the people because they are completely lost. We should
Speaker 1: bring regulation of emotions done by breathing. As you say,
Speaker 1: he was totally right, this man. That was probably the
Speaker 1: best lesson you got. The inquisitive nature always brings about answers. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And he was saying the same thing as you're saying.
Speaker 2: He said that your breath is the only thing that
Speaker 2: stays with you from the moment you're born to the
Speaker 2: moment you die. He said, you'll change your country, you'll
Speaker 2: change your family, you change your friends, like things change,
Speaker 2: but your breath is always with you. And he said,
Speaker 2: what changes when you're happy your breath? What changes when
Speaker 2: you're sad your breath? What changes when you're angry? Your breath?
Speaker 2: And so he said to me, if you learn to
Speaker 2: manage your breath, you'll be able to manage any emotion
Speaker 2: in life. Exactly like what you're saying. Yes, so you
Speaker 2: have these three pillars, breathing, exercises, commitment, and then you
Speaker 2: have the cold. Yes, what is commitment? What do you
Speaker 2: mean by that?
Speaker 1: With commitment? Just do it, just do it regardless and
Speaker 1: stay in that discipline. In the end, if you go
Speaker 1: into an ice bath, you learn to control your thoughts
Speaker 1: because you learn to shut up if you want it
Speaker 1: yes or no. You learn to surrender, let the body
Speaker 1: do what the body is capable of. Once you get that,
Speaker 1: you get a control. Like in the beginning you said intension,
Speaker 1: intention is inter reception, and now we found in Detroit
Speaker 1: top down regulated inter reception, which is inter receptive focus,
Speaker 1: and that is the will able to enter into the
Speaker 1: body and to readjust what needs to be, what is
Speaker 1: out of balance, to reconnect with the body. That is
Speaker 1: what the colt learns to shut up and to connect
Speaker 1: with the body, let the body do what the body
Speaker 1: is capable. And then you become aware that you suddenly
Speaker 1: willfully are able to control to make stronger your body
Speaker 1: without moving, and that is top yoga like Darana Diana somebody.
Speaker 1: Those things are now here and we have seen that
Speaker 1: it activates the corona radiata and the corona radiata the
Speaker 1: nerve endings in the human brain, which is the crown chakra,
Speaker 1: the crown endings, the corona radiata, the radiant crown and
Speaker 1: now is able to be activated by us because we
Speaker 1: learn to surrender that means we learn to let go
Speaker 1: and then we are able to full bloom activate our
Speaker 1: brain capacity like one hundred percent willfully. That's where we
Speaker 1: are in India. The in Bangalore. I'm going to receive
Speaker 1: this Price Award for excellence in yoga. What is excellency
Speaker 1: in yoga? Yoga means connecting. That's what I bring about
Speaker 1: and make it simple. Breathing is so much more important
Speaker 1: and we can cover within this hour. Yeah, within this podcast.
Speaker 1: Just try it out once and raise the full power
Speaker 1: part your conditioned mind and body through breathing. And we
Speaker 1: have simplified these techniques now and made it so accessible
Speaker 1: that the azoteric disciplines of all the religions, they come
Speaker 1: knocking at our door. They say, this is highly esoteric,
Speaker 1: this is mystical, and this is here waiting for any
Speaker 1: person because God or what is mystical should be there
Speaker 1: for everybody, absolutely every time, all the time.
Speaker 2: So you recommend that if ideally people do this on
Speaker 2: an empty stomach first thing in the morning, it's going
Speaker 2: to allow them to have more clarity, it's going to
Speaker 2: allow them to have more energy, it's going to allow
Speaker 2: them to focus better.
Speaker 1: Yes, it cleanses completely the emphatic system. All our daily
Speaker 1: habits or activities result in as a biochemical residue. It
Speaker 1: accumulates in our bodies and if we don't clean it,
Speaker 1: then it obstructs our quality of life.
Speaker 2: How does breathing cleaner?
Speaker 1: If we do these breathing sessions within four rounds, you
Speaker 1: will be able to get into the deepest of all systems,
Speaker 1: to the deepest to the bone mirror, to the deepest
Speaker 1: of your brain and learn to connect willfully. How does
Speaker 1: it work? If we do this breathing, we blow off
Speaker 1: the carbon dioxide and then the alkalinity in the blood
Speaker 1: goes way up. When it goes way up, you can
Speaker 1: axhale and be without the need to breathe, because breathing
Speaker 1: is because you become acidic. Now the acid is out
Speaker 1: of the body and you are very alkaline. So you're
Speaker 1: able to stay one and a half minute, two minutes
Speaker 1: without breathing. After exhalation. Now, what happens in the brainstem
Speaker 1: the reptilian, the crocodile brain, It says you are not breathing.
Speaker 1: This is dangerous. It doesn't look to pH levels in
Speaker 1: the blood. Is it alkaline or no? It looks to
Speaker 1: oxygen and oxygen is completely depleted. And when that happens,
Speaker 1: then the brainstem which is connected to the adrenal axis,
Speaker 1: that is the third eye, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, and the
Speaker 1: adrenal glands. Then it activates the adrenal axis just to
Speaker 1: spike once in the body with twice as much adrenaline.
Speaker 1: Then a person who goes for the first time into
Speaker 1: a bungee jump in fear. Wow, they have measured the
Speaker 1: blood of the people going into a bungee jump with
Speaker 1: fear for vertigo. They took their blood and they took
Speaker 1: the blood of the people doing this breathing technique, and
Speaker 1: then they saw twice as much adrenal spike in the
Speaker 1: blood for people doing this breeding technique. Now, what happens
Speaker 1: with that double dose of adrenaline. It goes like hormones
Speaker 1: into the spinal fluid. And this is where we manipulate.
Speaker 1: This is breathing, the techniques manipulation of the key, the
Speaker 1: g the prima, the prana. There's ten kinds. But hey, prana.
Speaker 1: We call it prana, so we get it sublime. But
Speaker 1: we make it simple. We say fully in thirty times
Speaker 1: breathing and then axhale and stop and you don't feel
Speaker 1: the need to breathe. Now, after one and a half
Speaker 1: minute of what happens if you don't breathe, Five times
Speaker 1: more blood flows into the bread, five times more blood
Speaker 1: flows into the art. Nobody knew until they did cardio
Speaker 1: films on this, and they say this is the future.
Speaker 1: This diagnostic cardiology. This is for the future breathing techniques
Speaker 1: because it flushes like a battery the heart if it
Speaker 1: functions too less, and that's terrible. If you got a
Speaker 1: heart that is not strong enough, you can make it
Speaker 1: stronger just through doing this. And five times more fluid
Speaker 1: into the brain is flushing it now because there's twice
Speaker 1: as much adrenaline hormonally in it. It cleanses everything anything
Speaker 1: that should not be there that is flammatory markers, but
Speaker 1: also pfas, also microplastics, also mRNA techniques, technology, whatever the
Speaker 1: shit is, and radio waves, biochemical residue, therefrom all that
Speaker 1: has influenced and we don't know how to clean it.
Speaker 1: Through doing this, you just clean it.
Speaker 2: Before we dive into the next moment, let's hear from
Speaker 2: our sponsors. Thanks for taking a moment for that. Now
Speaker 2: back to the discussion. It's such an interesting prospect that
Speaker 2: we've been given the technology in how we've been created
Speaker 2: in order to cleanse, to survive, to live, to heal.
Speaker 2: But obviously, you know, today so many people are struggling
Speaker 2: with anxiety, and a lot of people listening today. People
Speaker 2: may have anxiety about meeting new people, people have anxiety
Speaker 2: about their work, people have anxiety about relationships. There's so
Speaker 2: much anxiety in the world. How can this help someone
Speaker 2: who's struggling with anxiety. Is there a different breathing practice
Speaker 2: or is it the same.
Speaker 1: One, exactly the same one that the simplicity is the power,
Speaker 1: So just try it out. You will be able to
Speaker 1: cleanse that what obstructs you, the quality of your life,
Speaker 1: life underperformance when you need to perform. It really could
Speaker 1: be a relationship, could be having a new job, interview,
Speaker 1: could be a presentation on stage. Whatever is important to
Speaker 1: you that you want to feel more than normal in
Speaker 1: a functional power. That one needs cleaning, and this one
Speaker 1: does it. This takes it away because your body knows
Speaker 1: exactly what you are up against. But it is saying, hey,
Speaker 1: you are anxious because you cannot function the way you
Speaker 1: actually want because you're the shit inside, and we need
Speaker 1: to get it out, and that's what it is saying.
Speaker 1: So anxiety actually is a neuro signal said Telly, hey,
Speaker 1: clean up before you go up, and you will see
Speaker 1: that these simple breathing techniques will lead to suddenly, oh
Speaker 1: it's easy on stage. All these ah lateness comes by itself.
Speaker 2: Is it true that this can also help us get
Speaker 2: less sick less often?
Speaker 1: Absolutely? It has been shown in a scientific competitive study
Speaker 1: people injected with the bacteria causing inflammation that means fever, headaches, vomiting, nausea,
Speaker 1: muscle aches, back aches. But really three to six hours
Speaker 1: is a controlled experiment. Sixteen thousand became very sick and
Speaker 1: the twelve eye trained not sick. We already showed this
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen bacteria E. Coli virus. It's all the same.
Speaker 1: We have, like you said, we got the mechanisms, but
Speaker 1: we don't make use of our inner nature anymore to
Speaker 1: take down what should not be in there, like sickness,
Speaker 1: like anxiety, depression, inflammation of any kind. And it is
Speaker 1: inventative as well. The thing is, if you do this
Speaker 1: in the morning preemptively, then your day you are able
Speaker 1: to accumulate a lot of stress without feeling that you
Speaker 1: cannot deal with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's your clean yeah right. It's almost like
Speaker 2: we could actually deal with more stress than we believe
Speaker 2: if we were able to be in a state.
Speaker 1: And there you come into this emotional spiritual state to
Speaker 1: take own challenges because you feel suddenly you don't feel
Speaker 1: that awkward anxiety, fear, You don't feel it anymore, and
Speaker 1: that makes you able to go into the challenges of life.
Speaker 2: You're saying something really important here, But I think the
Speaker 2: challenge that people have is we've become seekers of an
Speaker 2: even more comfortable life. If you look at everything we're
Speaker 2: creating around us, so we can be more comfortable, be
Speaker 2: more safe, and I mean even physically comfortable, and we
Speaker 2: don't want to do something too challenging. We don't want
Speaker 2: to do something that's uncomfortable. We don't seek discomfort. So
Speaker 2: how do we encourage people to transform our mind to
Speaker 2: realize that discomfort is what creates goodness in life and
Speaker 2: comfort is what creates more problems. Laid down the line.
Speaker 1: Exactly that, So comfort is a false feeling. It is
Speaker 1: in the long term, it's really getting to you, and
Speaker 1: it will cause psychosomatic disturbances in the body, it will
Speaker 1: heap up, accumulate. The body needs cleaning, and for that
Speaker 1: we need to go into a certain kind of stress.
Speaker 1: If we stress our bodies up consciously, we learn to
Speaker 1: connect with the stress mechanisms in the brain and body,
Speaker 1: and with that the stress in daily life. Because if
Speaker 1: you're escaping into comfort, behavior will not make you strong
Speaker 1: for the shit that is going to happen anyway, so
Speaker 1: better be ready before it. And we provide with these
Speaker 1: simple techniques not only the ability to tackle stress in
Speaker 1: life effectively, but also directly. When you did it, when
Speaker 1: you take a cold so you feel good, Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: you give a little, you get so much more back.
Speaker 1: And for people who are not motivated to do this,
Speaker 1: don't wait until the shit comes to you. You go
Speaker 1: to the shit. I say always. If you don't go
Speaker 1: to the cold, the cold will come to you and
Speaker 1: then you don't like it. So too much disease, too
Speaker 1: much anxiety, too much depression, too much darkness, all is happening,
Speaker 1: too much stress. It's all happening. We notice, and we
Speaker 1: found a way to deal with it. We found the key,
Speaker 1: and we just want to hand over out of love
Speaker 1: and respect to the person this key.
Speaker 2: When I first started, I think I meant I took
Speaker 2: cold showers when I was in the monastery. It was
Speaker 2: very normal. But the first time I did a cold
Speaker 2: plunge was probably around four or five years ago as well.
Speaker 2: And I can honestly say that as someone who has
Speaker 2: tried to get massages to feel relaxed and distressed, and
Speaker 2: they probably get me to like a seventy eighty percent,
Speaker 2: But sitting in the cold and doing the contrast therapy
Speaker 2: of maybe ten to fifteen minutes in a sauna and
Speaker 2: maybe three to five minutes in the cold, and then
Speaker 2: doing it three times over, I have never felt that
Speaker 2: level of relaxation or slept better than when I've done
Speaker 2: the cold. Whether it's in the morning or the evening
Speaker 2: that day, the whole body just feels loose in a
Speaker 2: way that I've never felt. You'd assume it feels tight,
Speaker 2: like you think when you get in the cold that
Speaker 2: your body's just gonna like hold on, but it doesn't.
Speaker 2: It does the opposite, Yes, and when you get out
Speaker 2: you almost feel so much looser, calmer, less stress. But
Speaker 2: that's not what the mind thinks. The mind thinks it's
Speaker 2: probably gonna be really hot. It is challenging in the beginning.
Speaker 1: For sure.
Speaker 2: The first time I did it, I was in there
Speaker 2: for four minutes because I was doing it with a
Speaker 2: friend and we were trying to encourage each other. But
Speaker 2: for someone who gets in there and just wants to
Speaker 2: get out in the first ten seconds, how did they
Speaker 2: get more comfortable with that discomfort? What should they do
Speaker 2: if they're in there for ten seconds they're like, I
Speaker 2: need to get out? Like, how do you get over
Speaker 2: that hunch?
Speaker 1: I just know that this really will bring about a
Speaker 1: much greater control over stress in your daily life. You
Speaker 1: only have to go through this, say a minute, once
Speaker 1: you are a minute in, and anybody can do it.
Speaker 1: Last weekend I had people of eighty years who never
Speaker 1: had been in an ice berth. They went in for
Speaker 1: ten minutes, ten minutes, and they loved it. I mean,
Speaker 1: young people should not be in the mind thinking. Learn
Speaker 1: to be in the body and then know that you
Speaker 1: are able to enter into the body, into the depth,
Speaker 1: and that will be yours for ten seconds. Yes, that
Speaker 1: is your reaction of a body that never has been
Speaker 1: in the cult. But you are very able. Let me
Speaker 1: be very clear about it. You as a young person.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the person who's watching this, you are
Speaker 1: very capable of staying one minute, and what happens then
Speaker 1: your body is adapted. What that means is that you're
Speaker 1: inner power is on and it's connecting to your will,
Speaker 1: and with that you learn to take on stress of
Speaker 1: daily life, which you don't need to escape of anymore.
Speaker 1: You are able to confront yourself with difficult situations in
Speaker 1: all the other areas. So that little bit of a
Speaker 1: cold you're going to endure is going to give you
Speaker 1: so much more back.
Speaker 2: It's funny how the mind when you're in it and
Speaker 2: you finish it, you have a great experience, and then
Speaker 2: the mind's like, I don't want to do it again.
Speaker 2: It's really hard, like whatever, And then you have to
Speaker 2: keep reminding yourself. And I've learned over time that things
Speaker 2: that are good for you feel good after, and things
Speaker 2: that are bad for you feel good before. Right, anything
Speaker 2: that's bad for you feels good before. You want to
Speaker 2: eat badly, you want to drink badly, you want to
Speaker 2: do anything. It feels amazing before, and then afterwards it's
Speaker 2: like poison. It's like pain. But anything that's good for
Speaker 2: you before you do it, you're stressed you're nervous, but
Speaker 2: then after you do it, you feel the benefits, and
Speaker 2: you have to keep reminding yourself of that value because
Speaker 2: it's so easy to lose whim. How did you even
Speaker 2: discover the power of breath work and the power of
Speaker 2: cold How did you even come to this for yourself?
Speaker 1: Yes, I was a young kid and very much in
Speaker 1: the head.
Speaker 2: What were you worried about as a young kid? Because
Speaker 2: I feel like, now, what were you worried? I'm intrigued because.
Speaker 1: I think, herea my, this what I'm going to start? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the same stuff as anybody. So I read a lot,
Speaker 1: and I was philosophying, a lot of debate running in
Speaker 1: my head crazy, and then one day I found this
Speaker 1: irrational attraction intuitively to go into cold water. And when
Speaker 1: I did that, this circling this, it came from within rominating. Yes,
Speaker 1: stopped right there, it's a this is it? I was
Speaker 1: looking in philosophies and religions. What is it? What is love?
Speaker 1: It's in you, It's there, it's alive, it's past thinking,
Speaker 1: and it's here now. And the cold has opened that
Speaker 1: up to me, past my conditioning. Whatever I had learned.
Speaker 1: Those are patterns. They keep you running in the same
Speaker 1: conditioning and can be very stubborn. But the cold was
Speaker 1: there and it went just straight through by which I started,
Speaker 1: I never stopped and when it was seventeen.
Speaker 2: So for you, it was almost the cold became the
Speaker 2: pathway to enlightenment to yourself. Yes, that that was the
Speaker 2: pathway because it just stopped the chatter. You can't hear
Speaker 2: the noise because the noise becomes well, initially the noise
Speaker 2: becomes oh God, it's so cold. Then what happens walk
Speaker 2: us through? What that journey was?
Speaker 1: I think I was ready to take on that challenge
Speaker 1: within me to get rid of the chatter. What is
Speaker 1: that what makes me connect? Instead of chattering? I can say, Oh,
Speaker 1: I meditate and I do this, and I do yoga posters,
Speaker 1: and I'm very good at the adull and philosophy that
Speaker 1: one I was looking for. I found it and right now,
Speaker 1: right now, it shows in a big study we did.
Speaker 1: It's submitted that nature is a big scientific paper with
Speaker 1: five hundred people and it says they compared it to
Speaker 1: meditation and mindfulness, so that the stress reason has stress tools,
Speaker 1: mindfulness and meditation stress tools in the corporate world. So
Speaker 1: we took people out of the corporate work, from the
Speaker 1: corporate world with a lot of stress, and we took
Speaker 1: them and we went through and doing this cold practice
Speaker 1: and the breathing, and it shows that it is able
Speaker 1: to make this ruminating through the stress of daily life
Speaker 1: and having to perform and compete a constantly very high
Speaker 1: up and the price House water Coopers people. They are
Speaker 1: not into yoga or into galley whatever exercise. They need
Speaker 1: to perform with numbers, accountancy, and it's very strenuous and
Speaker 1: arduous and all that they did this and they compared
Speaker 1: thus the meditation and mindfulness with this, and it showed
Speaker 1: that this is generating much more stress resilience, much higher
Speaker 1: cognitive awareness and less stress experience and beyond all, much
Speaker 1: more trust in each other inter reception, inter receptive being.
Speaker 1: They just had these feelings and the expressed it five
Speaker 1: hundred people. What I want to say with that running
Speaker 1: which I had a lot of people have and it
Speaker 1: is not just think. It is related to the central
Speaker 1: nervous system and the stress accumulates in biochemistry that is
Speaker 1: wrong by which we have no control over it. And
Speaker 1: that is anxiety. And now we have the ability to
Speaker 1: make it go away. The cold did it for me.
Speaker 1: Then I started to do the breathing because I found
Speaker 1: out in the cold, if I do a slower breathing deeply,
Speaker 1: I'm able to stay longer in I see water, Yes,
Speaker 1: and those who are the findings. This is almost fifty
Speaker 1: years ago. And then I started to calculate, Hey, if
Speaker 1: that happens in the water, what happens when I do
Speaker 1: it out of the water at home? And I did it.
Speaker 1: And then I saw Old Di your crass Old or
Speaker 1: what I have been reading for the first time. I
Speaker 1: saw it all. But that's not the goal. The goal
Speaker 1: is the soul. Goal is God's providence to be direct
Speaker 1: here past the chatterbox, and how to surrender, how to
Speaker 1: let go, how to not think but be, and they
Speaker 1: are automatically naturally. From there you come into your purpose.
Speaker 1: And this podcast is on purpose, the purpose of life itself.
Speaker 1: Everybody is different, but everybody has a purpose from the heart,
Speaker 1: not thinking from the mind. The heart is able to
Speaker 1: give confidence and trust and that power that goes and
Speaker 1: takes on the challenges of life because the soul is indestructible,
Speaker 1: and there is no fear, not even for death. Because
Speaker 1: you are doing exactly why you are here for and
Speaker 1: you feel it because God is at your side, is here.
Speaker 1: And that made me breakthrough with the cold, then the breathing,
Speaker 1: and then I learned to control, which I showed in
Speaker 1: Sydney lately in a brain scan. A nine and a
Speaker 1: half thousand brain scan showed more or less the bandwidth
Speaker 1: of what the brain activity is in humans. I did
Speaker 1: nothing in the brain scan, and I was within the
Speaker 1: bandwidth of the brain activity of these people. And then
Speaker 1: I did what you did in the beginning intention. I
Speaker 1: went out for a half hour, did some breathing exercises,
Speaker 1: but very strong intention, and let it be your body
Speaker 1: knows when you talk to it. That's a pure inter reception,
Speaker 1: and you know how to move it if you just
Speaker 1: have that faith, that power that in the reception. That's
Speaker 1: what I did. And then I went back in to
Speaker 1: the same brain scan. And then the professor saw what
Speaker 1: he never had seen before, such an activity of the
Speaker 1: sub cortical higher functioning of the brain. That is, confidence, fantasy, creativity, trust, empathy,
Speaker 1: all those areas now willfully completely activated. He saw this,
Speaker 1: and this people say, I made you at the ice man,
Speaker 1: you can do that. No, no, no, no, no no, excuse.
Speaker 1: I only show what we all can do. And then
Speaker 1: places like here a podcast, a platform which you make
Speaker 1: a made available, which is great work. Thank you, Thank
Speaker 1: you for the whole white world. They say make America healthy.
Speaker 1: I say, let's make the whole white world healthy. And
Speaker 1: it happens through these things, absolutely, faith.
Speaker 2: Something you said just really stood out to me in
Speaker 2: a way that it hasn't before. And you just said
Speaker 2: that when we talk to our body, it hears us.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: And I was just thinking in a really simple way
Speaker 2: when I think to myself, I'm going to take a
Speaker 2: glass of water, that is me talking to my body. Yes,
Speaker 2: And my body just did that. And then I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm going to drink some water. And then I drink
Speaker 2: and it's like I am talking to my body even
Speaker 2: in the simplest of tasks that I do every day,
Speaker 2: Because when we hear oh, you can talk to your
Speaker 2: body and it hears you think it's some mystical thing,
Speaker 2: but the truth is we're all doing it right now.
Speaker 2: Like even me lifting my hand, I'm first thinking it
Speaker 2: and I'm talking to myself. I'm about to lift my hand.
Speaker 2: I'm going to shake whim's hand. I'm going to meet him.
Speaker 2: I'm going to greet him. It's I'm already doing that.
Speaker 2: But then we forget that we can also code our
Speaker 2: mind and our body with emotion, with intention, with feelings,
Speaker 2: with states.
Speaker 1: With a purpose, with a purpose, and getting there and
Speaker 1: make the impossible happening past our condition mind and body
Speaker 1: that now is on the threshold where I'm working with
Speaker 1: these universities and showing for examples, twenty six people emotional distress.
Speaker 1: They cannot get out of it. They got PTSD, people
Speaker 1: dying within their family, divorces, and they are really victims
Speaker 1: in that. I mean, they cannot get out these loops.
Speaker 1: It keeps anxiety pure anxiety is very tiring. They are exhausted.
Speaker 1: They went into this study. It took only one afternoon
Speaker 1: to break those patterns. Wow, and that's the way. And
Speaker 1: you know what happens that the next thing is that
Speaker 1: they got the feeling, that they got the steering wheel.
Speaker 1: Their confidence suddenly is there and suddenly they feel their
Speaker 1: purpose of life that they can take on the challenges
Speaker 1: twenty six people. We just did the study scientifically, and
Speaker 1: all that's shows that we not only here to drink
Speaker 1: a glass of water. We are here to drink the
Speaker 1: full cup of life and to pass it on to
Speaker 1: our kids fully in confidence and trust and in love
Speaker 1: and beauty and power and energy and flow make a paradise.
Speaker 1: I'm here to show scientifically that autonomy is ours, that
Speaker 1: we have a control far deeper than in science was
Speaker 1: thought possible. But now it's here. And through the pharmaceutical
Speaker 1: industry and the whole industry and the governments, they are
Speaker 1: quite ignorant. Let me tell you that. So we need
Speaker 1: to stand up like podcasts like this. We need to
Speaker 1: become autonomousts. Not believe in governments, but govern ourselves because
Speaker 1: we are good people all all the sorts where we
Speaker 1: got there. Our soil is goodness deriving from and we
Speaker 1: should be able to have faith in the goodness of ourselves.
Speaker 1: And we bring through these tools autonomy to the people
Speaker 1: so they feel confident that they have control over the
Speaker 1: sub cortical areas of the brain. We called to subconscious
Speaker 1: and all they told us that is only sixteen percent
Speaker 1: that we can control. It's one hundred. Sorry, it's one hundred.
Speaker 1: And I'm showing that in brain scans. And now we
Speaker 1: are shown with cannabinoid receptors, how we are able to
Speaker 1: create flow in the body, which is a natural state
Speaker 1: of ours. We only got conditioned. And if we look
Speaker 1: at society, too many wars, too many depressions, too many inflammation,
Speaker 1: too many anxiety and all we can shoot people to
Speaker 1: the moon. That's become happy, strong and how I made
Speaker 1: a song on that. By the way, it's called Sacha.
Speaker 1: My roots are in India.
Speaker 2: Do you do you practice montra meditation as well? Like
Speaker 2: as you were just singing and chanting right now, I.
Speaker 1: Did a lot of that now, mantras, the rap, patitive,
Speaker 1: citing words, sounds I'm singing. Yeah, all day should be meditated.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, it's the culture of India. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not even just repetition of word. It's singing, it's dancing,
Speaker 2: it's chanting, it's it's really beautiful.
Speaker 1: Meditation should be your natural joyful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's almost like it's a soundtrack to your life. That's
Speaker 2: how I think about it when I think about montraal meditation,
Speaker 2: it's it's almost like you're listening to a soundtrack, but
Speaker 2: the soundtracks within your own heart and consciousness, and that
Speaker 2: repeated is kind of creating the rhythm of your life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you sing, you love it. Yeah, you can
Speaker 1: yell out at your heart. You let your heart breathe.
Speaker 1: It feels great.
Speaker 2: Before we dive into the next moment, let's hear from
Speaker 2: our sponsors and back to our episode. I wanted to
Speaker 2: talk to you about willpower because you talk a lot
Speaker 2: about willpower, and you talk about how people with low
Speaker 2: willpower make poorer choices in life. Can you define for
Speaker 2: us what willpower is? In your opinion, willpower is the
Speaker 2: ability to have control within It's the sixth and seven
Speaker 2: cents and eight cents willpower, Darana concentration. If I stay
Speaker 2: one hour in icy water, I need darana.
Speaker 1: I need concentration. I need to control my core body
Speaker 1: temperature to control the nervous system while I'm in this
Speaker 1: very stressful environment and data. This is willfully connecting and
Speaker 1: that makes my body strong. So anytime I need to concentrate,
Speaker 1: using that connection with my central nervous system, which I
Speaker 1: exercised in cold water, and it doesn't need an hour,
Speaker 1: and it only needs you adapting. Adapting is two three minutes.
Speaker 1: Then you are naturally connected with your central nervous system,
Speaker 1: which is the instrument of the willpower. You just need
Speaker 1: to learn to connect. Don't make it too complicated in yourself,
Speaker 1: because it hasn't got to do anything with your thinking.
Speaker 1: It's taken on the challenge and your body adapts. Doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what it is, heat, cold, stress on the stage
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You learn to take on instead of ruminating
Speaker 1: about it. You go into it because you have control
Speaker 1: over the central nervous system, which is a connection of
Speaker 1: the prefrontal cortex and the central nervous system is everywhere
Speaker 1: and it adapts. How far do you want to go?
Speaker 1: I tell people if I get people motivated. Last time
Speaker 1: I went on the Kilimanjaro in shorts was with a
Speaker 1: man who was seventy six years old. Seventy six, He
Speaker 1: had no experience in climbing. He was suffering from Lyme's disease,
Speaker 1: his debilitating condition, and he had to go in shorts,
Speaker 1: and he wanted to do this in record time what
Speaker 1: young people cannot do so and I looked in his
Speaker 1: eyes and I saw connection. I saw motivation. Motivation is
Speaker 1: the right connection with your central nervous You really want
Speaker 1: it because you really are there. I went with him,
Speaker 1: and this is a mountain you can do between five
Speaker 1: and nine days fully dressed, because it's very cold up
Speaker 1: there and is half the oxygen and less, and you
Speaker 1: need oxygen to combust for energy and it's not there.
Speaker 1: So five to nine days and then forty percent only
Speaker 1: summit fully dressed. This man did it in thirty one
Speaker 1: hours in his shorts. What you know what happened? His
Speaker 1: lime's disease was also gone at the same time. What
Speaker 1: is willpower? It's there? Do you got it? Do you
Speaker 1: really want it? It's there and it's not complicated. Wow,
Speaker 1: and you can test it that it is able to
Speaker 1: go way past what you think you can do, and
Speaker 1: it takes a half hour. Just try this out. We
Speaker 1: simplify these techniques so to make it usable tools. Then
Speaker 1: it's only a matter of choice. What do you want
Speaker 1: with it? Because you will be able as you shoot,
Speaker 1: owning your own mind and body in its full splendor.
Speaker 2: Whim you've done so many difficult, challenging things, you encourage
Speaker 2: people to do them with you as well. What's the
Speaker 2: hardest thing you believe you've ever overcome?
Speaker 1: Who at a certain moment, I could do a world record?
Speaker 1: Every day? You know, you get your body ready and
Speaker 1: the connection is in the flow. Every day you can
Speaker 1: run a marathon barefoot outside in the snow, or stay
Speaker 1: two hours in icy water, do crazy stuff. And at
Speaker 1: a certain moment I were thinking to myself, actually, I
Speaker 1: don't want some ridiculous new challenge doing. I showed enough
Speaker 1: and what I want right now, and that might be
Speaker 1: the most difficult is to settle down and to let
Speaker 1: hundreds and millions of people are doing what I'm doing. Now.
Speaker 1: This is real. With or without my name doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I started this. This is my mission. My mother told
Speaker 1: me to do this and to be the missionary. I
Speaker 1: did it. I got to the Catholic Church itself, to
Speaker 1: the esoteric departments of the Catholic Church, the best of them.
Speaker 1: They came to me that my mother is in peace.
Speaker 1: So right now I want to go on. I want
Speaker 1: to go on on my own and the challenges. I
Speaker 1: want to reach billions of people, which is happening. That
Speaker 1: is the power of faith that keeps on going. When
Speaker 1: actually I thought I did my mission, I will be
Speaker 1: keeping on going, of course, I actually it's a normal
Speaker 1: life is a bit boring. I want to change the world,
Speaker 1: and that it can be difficult. I don't care. I
Speaker 1: love well, whom.
Speaker 2: I think it's very clear that you have no doubt
Speaker 2: been the modern greatest proponent of breath work, of spending
Speaker 2: time in the cold and cold exposure. I don't think
Speaker 2: there's anyone else who is not only popularized, but taught
Speaker 2: those principles and made them as big and as famous
Speaker 2: and popular as they are now. And honestly, all that
Speaker 2: credit goes to you, for sure. I don't think those
Speaker 2: conversations were being had in the modern world, and so
Speaker 2: I thank you for doing that, because it's a it's
Speaker 2: such a great unlock for the world to recognize the
Speaker 2: power that can be there for free. Right, you don't
Speaker 2: have to pay for breath work. You don't have to
Speaker 2: pay to have a culture hour every day. Freedom is
Speaker 2: for free exactly. Autonomy is there, and we want to
Speaker 2: bring is love. Yeah, we want to bring love to
Speaker 2: the people. We want them to be able to feel
Speaker 2: good whenever they feel bad.
Speaker 1: You do that, I do that. That's why we are
Speaker 1: here talk to each other. Five years ago we talked
Speaker 1: and it's the same right there. That's the war we
Speaker 1: gotta win.
Speaker 2: Absolutely general. Yes, your energy is infectious. I love it.
Speaker 2: It's such a like and my team was telling me,
Speaker 2: just just to let everyone know. My team was telling me,
Speaker 2: you walked here today to my house? How long was
Speaker 2: that journey?
Speaker 1: An hour and a quarter?
Speaker 2: Is that all?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Yeah, it's pretty impressive. I think it might
Speaker 2: have taken people a bit longer than that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a nice walk. I was way too earlier.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: Buddy. You live, you live, You live everything like it
Speaker 2: was hot today. It was a hotter day in la
Speaker 2: You walked here from your hotel or wherever you're staying,
Speaker 2: like it's it's amazing because you live and breathe this
Speaker 2: like this is who you are. And some of my friends,
Speaker 2: Lewis House is a good friend of mine, and he
Speaker 2: brought a lot of friends to you a few years
Speaker 2: ago in Poland. They had the best time, and everyone
Speaker 2: came out of that just saying they couldn't believe how
Speaker 2: much time they spent in the cold. And I think
Speaker 2: that's my favorite thing about what you unlock for people
Speaker 2: beyond the breath, beyond the cold, is we don't know
Speaker 2: what we're capable of. We have no idea what this
Speaker 2: body and this mind is capable of doing. And if
Speaker 2: everyone listening and watching can remember that you are so
Speaker 2: much more capable than you believe you are. You're able
Speaker 2: to do so much more than you think you can.
Speaker 2: Your mind and body are so much stronger than you
Speaker 2: believe they are. If you walk away with that message
Speaker 2: from today, that will change your life, because in your
Speaker 2: head you think you're a lot more limited than you
Speaker 2: actually are.
Speaker 1: If people take one message, love is where you are
Speaker 1: able to make that what is going bad within good
Speaker 1: and that love we want to share and it's not complicated.
Speaker 1: Just try it out once and then you will see
Speaker 1: for yourselfse feeling is understanding.
Speaker 2: Whim A couple of last questions. We've talked about the
Speaker 2: mental and physical health benefits. What benefits do you see
Speaker 2: for society at large if they practice your method?
Speaker 1: I think it is the soul itself we are now
Speaker 1: being approached. I wasn't the Middle East with the Catholic
Speaker 1: Church with the highest esoteric departments about providence of God's
Speaker 1: providence and the mortification about deep religious practices. They are
Speaker 1: taking this all on and see that God's presence itself
Speaker 1: comes much better to word the moment again, and that
Speaker 1: is unconditional love to me, and that is now accessible
Speaker 1: also for anybody else. So we made God accessible, the
Speaker 1: unconditional love accessible, just by learning how to surrender, and
Speaker 1: to show scientifically that we are capable of controlling this
Speaker 1: deep autonomic nervous system, central nervous system much better than
Speaker 1: we have learned in our schools to battle inflammation, depression,
Speaker 1: and energy itself. It's all there and it's not complicated.
Speaker 1: If you take something away, just do it once.
Speaker 2: How can people understand that breathing and being in the
Speaker 2: cold and surrendering ultimately leads you to God, Because I
Speaker 2: think a lot of people are doing it. They do
Speaker 2: it for the health benefits, they do it for the
Speaker 2: physical benefits. They may not even understand the concept of surrender,
Speaker 2: which is what happened actually happening when you're in the water.
Speaker 2: You have to how do you connect that dot for people?
Speaker 2: Or is it just something people have to do and
Speaker 2: they'll get there.
Speaker 1: During this conversation we already actually talked about it. It's
Speaker 1: your purpose, yes, yes, Once you are driven by your purpose,
Speaker 1: it's like if you love somebody, you just there's nothing
Speaker 1: that can stop you. If you get your purpose. By
Speaker 1: learning to control fear, to have a deeper control over
Speaker 1: the central nervous system inside which we showed within a
Speaker 1: half hour. Then suddenly fear doesn't block you anymore, the
Speaker 1: quality of life doesn't you take on the challenges. Suddenly
Speaker 1: our nature is to take on challenges, to take away blockages,
Speaker 1: to live up to our purpose. And our purpose is
Speaker 1: rooted in goodness, and that once we are in that power,
Speaker 1: we are stronger than what we think, because love is
Speaker 1: stronger than what you think. That is happening. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to go into philosophies, because this is not about philosophies.
Speaker 1: But the best philosophers they come now saying they are
Speaker 1: recognizing that the real core principle of the best of
Speaker 1: philosophy is being done by doing this. So I take that,
Speaker 1: but this is not my starting point yet. I take
Speaker 1: it as Hey, these people, they are experts in those
Speaker 1: fields of what is God, how to behave there, how
Speaker 1: to do, how to practice and all. They are coming
Speaker 1: and they say that this and it makes sense to me.
Speaker 1: But I say, feeling is understanding. If you do this,
Speaker 1: then God will be there. I have no doubt. God's
Speaker 1: presence is a goodness that is a root within every
Speaker 1: person in the world, and this makes all the blockages
Speaker 1: go away. You connect and your purpose is like a flower,
Speaker 1: is like a strong power, It goes past your thinking.
Speaker 2: Last question, you've talked before about this, but you talked
Speaker 2: about losing your wife and how that was such a
Speaker 2: transformative moment in your life even though it was tragic.
Speaker 2: And you've talked today about the definition of love is
Speaker 2: being able to transform something that felt like pain into
Speaker 2: something good or purposeful. What helped you grieve and what
Speaker 2: helped you walk through that grief?
Speaker 1: Yeah, grief, and we did a lately a grief studier
Speaker 1: and her chose within one afternoon, people are able to
Speaker 1: get out of these patterns.
Speaker 2: Through breath work.
Speaker 1: And yes, because neurologically you are connected with the love
Speaker 1: of your life. She was the mother of my fol
Speaker 1: children and she still is and we gotta completely honored
Speaker 1: she is here the afterlife. But that there's another discussion.
Speaker 1: She is here, she's with us, and I'm with her children,
Speaker 1: and we have a very successful enterprise in the whole
Speaker 1: world on breathing, a mission to bring love and how
Speaker 1: to de block So when I went grieving about her
Speaker 1: losing her in a suicide, the mother of my children,
Speaker 1: the love of my life, nothing could help me, except
Speaker 1: for going into cold water. Cold water makes your mind
Speaker 1: shut up. Different areas of the brain suddenly start to
Speaker 1: be activated. The sense of life. The brainstem is about survival,
Speaker 1: just to live. What is the purpose of life? To
Speaker 1: be alive? Fully? So it started over there. It opened
Speaker 1: a little bit my grief. It stopped my grief in
Speaker 1: those moments by which I opened up to myself, and
Speaker 1: there the healing started. I became a person missing my wife,
Speaker 1: missing the mother. But I've made my family for my family,
Speaker 1: my kids, with very little money, a warm nest and
Speaker 1: a lot of energy. And that's because I could heal within.
Speaker 1: And we still have her in all our honor, and
Speaker 1: we can still think about all the emotions. But here
Speaker 1: we are from there, from that negative story. This movement
Speaker 1: now is evolving. So I've learned of the grief, I've
Speaker 1: learned of my negativity inside, my darkness inside, and come out,
Speaker 1: and so can anybody else. This is what we are
Speaker 1: showing now in scientific studies. People who also have loss
Speaker 1: of family members or divorces can be very strong inside
Speaker 1: or PTSD the gruelsome situations of war inside, and you
Speaker 1: can't change your behavior anymore. You're in despair. This breaks it.
Speaker 1: So it broke me back then, and I had to
Speaker 1: find it. It's science and it works for millions of people.
Speaker 2: I thank you for your work. I'm grateful to have
Speaker 2: spoken to you twice. I'm hoping that everyone who's listening
Speaker 2: and watching downloads the Whimhoff method to actually practice it,
Speaker 2: to breathe every morning. What I really wish for you
Speaker 2: is that for the next seven days, just seven days,
Speaker 2: if you can start your day with the wim Off
Speaker 2: method on an empty stomach, just watch how your life
Speaker 2: changes just seven days of either the breath work or
Speaker 2: the cold shower, whichever one you can. If you do both, amazing,
Speaker 2: but just either one of them, and just watch how
Speaker 2: your life changes. Because this is all about testing, it's
Speaker 2: all about practicing, it's all about building it. And I
Speaker 2: don't want you to think that you've got to learn
Speaker 2: a new technique or whatever it may be. This is
Speaker 2: really really simple. Women's made it absolutely accessible for each
Speaker 2: and every one of us. And I think one of
Speaker 2: the things that I'm going to do based off of
Speaker 2: this is just constantly remind myself that whenever you think
Speaker 2: you've reached a limit, to realize that that's actually not
Speaker 2: the limit. Your mind and body can do so much more.
Speaker 2: So thank you so much, Whim. Please read the wim
Speaker 2: Off Method, download the wim Half Method, follow wim on
Speaker 2: social media across platform, and I'm sure we're going to
Speaker 2: meet again and continue this mission to you.
Speaker 1: Love your work you, I respect it, and thank you
Speaker 1: so much. I came yesterday all the way out of Europe,
Speaker 1: and tonight I fly on. Maybe not so good for
Speaker 1: the ecological footprint, but I had to see you. I
Speaker 1: had to be with you, and it's worth while all.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you very much, thank you, Thank you
Speaker 2: so much for listening to this conversation. If you enjoyed it,
Speaker 2: you'll love my chat with Adam Grant on why discomfort
Speaker 2: is the key to growth and the strategies for unlocking
Speaker 2: your hidden potential. If you know you want to be
Speaker 2: more and achieve more this year, go check it out
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: You set a goal today, you achieve it in six months,
Speaker 1: and then by the time it happens, it's almost a relief.
Speaker 1: There's no sense of meaning and purpose. You sort of
Speaker 1: expected it, and you would have been disappointed if it
Speaker 1: didn't happen.
