However, whenever I immersed myself in really cold water in the past, it would feel like someone had stuck thousands of pins in my skin. I’ve swam in freezing lakes before in scandinavia and rolled in snow after having saunas. I then took another ice bath at a later date (pic below) and used 22kg of ice (12 big bags). When I first took an ice bath, I only used 6kg of ice which very quickly melted. It’s also been scientifically proven to influence the Autonomic Nervous System and the innate immune response, as well as being an incredibly powerful meditation technique. Similar to Tummo, the Wim Hof Method is about inner power, meditation and being able to control your body’s immune system and temperature by doing meditation, certain breathing techniques, visualisations and physical exercises.

Today I finished week eight which involved immersing my body in a freezing bath of cold water and ice, which, I have to add was a really invigorating experience - and also interesting because my body adapted to the cold pretty much straight away. Each day I have breathing and physical exercises to do which get progressively harder throughout the course, and on top of this, I keep a workbook of my physical and mental progress. *Please do not attempt any of the Wim Hof breathing exercises whilst in water and complete the parts of the course that lead up to the ice bath first*įor the last few months I’ve been doing the Wim Hof Method course which I’ve really loved doing and learning about.
