00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
This episode is sponsored by 511, a company that I've used for well over a decade and continue to use to this day.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
And 511 is offering you guys, the audience of the Behind the Shield podcast, a discount on every purchase you make with them.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Before we get to that code, I want to highlight a couple of products that again, I personally use today.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000
One of the most impressive products they just released is their Rush Backpack 2.0.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Now for many of you, whether you're going to the fire station, the police station, whether you're traveling with your family,

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
whether you're taking training courses, we have to fly, we have to drive, we have to take trains.

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:44,000
And I have to say, I own multiple backpacks, many of 511's different ones, but as far as a daypack, this one was the most impressive.

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
There are so many different compartments. The way it sits on your back is incredibly comfortable.

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
If you are a concealed carry person, there's also a spot for a weapon.

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,000
So they've thought of multiple, multiple things that a man or woman would have to do on a daily basis.

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
That is in addition to all of the products that I talk about a lot.

12
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Their uniforms fit for men or fit for women in the first responder professions.

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000
The footwear that they offer, whether it's the Norris sneaker or the Atlas system that is designed for foot health

14
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
and therefore knees and back and hips and shoulders and neck.

15
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
As a civilian, I live in a lot of their clothes as well.

16
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Their jeans stretch, you can actually squat down in them.

17
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
We live in Florida here, so I wear a lot of their shorts, which again, very, very lightweight material.

18
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
You can get it wet and it will dry almost immediately.

19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
And then moving to the fitness and tactical space, I used to have just a regular weight vest.

20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Recently, I switched to a 511 vest and actually bought ballistic plates as well.

21
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
My thinking was simply, if I'm going to have a vest, why not have one that protects me as well?

22
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
And that tack vest is trusted by law enforcement all around the country.

23
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
So I mentioned they were going to offer you a discount code.

24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
So if you go to 511tactical.com and enter the code SHIELD15, S-H-I-E-L-D-1-5,

25
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
you'll get 15% off not just that one purchase, but every time you visit their store.

26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
And if you want to learn more about 511, their mission, their products,

27
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:16,000
then listen to episode 338 of the Behind the Shield podcast with the CEO and founder, Francisco Morales.

28
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Welcome to episode 532 of Behind the Shield podcast.

29
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,000
As always, my name is James Gearing and this week it is my absolute honor to welcome on the show Wim Hoff.

30
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Now, Wim is known around the world as the Iceman,

31
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000
initially for some of the incredible physical endeavors that he could endure, especially in extreme cold.

32
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
From climbing Everest in just a pair of shorts to being submerged in ice for almost two hours,

33
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
he showed the world that he was able to endure incredible extreme cold for a long, long time.

34
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
But that was purely just to get attention.

35
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Wim's goal was to show not only his own control of his human body,

36
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
but to be able to teach that that is in every single one of us.

37
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
After gaining the attention of the scientific world,

38
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
he and several of his students were tested not only with their cold exposure,

39
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000
but even their immune response to an E. coli strain being injected into them.

40
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
So I cannot stress how powerful his work is,

41
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
how much you need to subscribe to his free app right now, the Wim Hoff Method,

42
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
and how many incredible areas that we covered.

43
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
He has done documentaries, he's been on multiple podcasts,

44
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000
so I tried to hit some new areas that I hadn't heard before.

45
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,000
From his early life to how his breath and cold therapy helped his own personal journey of grief,

46
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
not only from losing his wife to suicide, but also a following divorce.

47
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
We talk about extreme heat, which is very pertinent to the fire service and many other professions.

48
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Before we get to this incredibly powerful conversation, as I say every week,

49
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
please just take a moment, go to whichever app you listen to this on.

50
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Subscribe to the show, leave feedback, and leave a rating.

51
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Every five-star rating truly does elevate this podcast, making it easier for others to find.

52
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000
And this is a free library of 532 episodes now.

53
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
All I ask in return is that you help share these incredible men and women's stories

54
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
so I can get them to everyone else who needs to hear them.

55
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:38,000
So with that being said, I introduce to you Wim Hof. Enjoy.

56
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Just by using the power of breath, the life force itself,

57
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,000
it's not out there, it's in here. It's right here.

58
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:57,000
So that together with belief, you know, our neurosignaling, our will,

59
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:05,000
is able once the body's pH levels is high, alkaline, through the breath,

60
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:12,000
deeper, then you change the biological environment for the neurology,

61
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
that is connected to our neurological neurosignaling of our will,

62
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000
to be able for us to command our own body.

63
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
And it makes perfect sense to me. It really does.

64
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
I'm looking forward to this conversation because I think if this last year and a half

65
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,000
is showing us anything, is people 100% believe that their health is external.

66
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
And that's so tragic.

67
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Exactly. You cut through the chase and that's it.

68
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000
They are dependent on something out there.

69
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
The doctor is there, the pill is there, the medicine is there, the vaccine is there,

70
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
but the healing power is inside.

71
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Of course, the vaccine is there and the doctor is there and the hospitals are there and all.

72
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
It's all there. But the healing power is,

73
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:14,000
we have shown this in brain scans, how to connect neurologically with that area.

74
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000
These professors with whom I worked, psychiatrists, professors and radiologists,

75
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Professor Vaibhav Divakar and Professor Otto Muzik from the Wayne State University in Detroit,

76
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:37,000
they say after doing brain scan studies with me, we now have the compelling evidence

77
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:47,000
of the key components of the autonomous processes inside the brain related to mood regulation.

78
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:54,000
We are able at will to regulate our own mood.

79
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:03,000
And that's it. We normally are so stressed out and we get stressed and that deregulates our immune system.

80
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:14,000
We become sick because the stress just turns into a biochemical residue that deregulates the functioning systems.

81
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,000
And then we become sick. A sickness is nothing more than a signal that something is wrong.

82
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000
So is fear that something is wrong. But they are feeding the fear.

83
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:41,000
They don't go to the source. Also with this COVID and all the other vaccines and other ailments and even cancer is based in inflammation.

84
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:50,000
And we live in this society with a destimulative behavior that causes low grade inflammation.

85
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,000
And that in the long run will turn into deregulated immune system functioning.

86
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000
And then we get all kinds of autoimmune diseases.

87
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Because our bodies are slight acidic. They are not alkaline.

88
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,000
And our neurology, which is connected to our world, the neurology is neurotransmitters,

89
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:21,000
our will is neurotransmitters, is connected to the neurology of the rest of our body.

90
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:31,000
But because there's a wrong biochemistry going on, because of low grade inflammation caused by the stress and destimulative behavior,

91
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,000
we become sick at a certain moment because the body needs to be alkaline.

92
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Nice pH, nice flourishing fresh blood flow, great going like flowing.

93
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,000
And it is not because we destimulate, always wearing clothes.

94
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:59,000
When you go into a cold shower, you drain millions of the 70,000 miles of vascular channels.

95
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
That is capillaries, arteries and veins.

96
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000
And once the flow goes better through the system, it reaches the cells with all the energy.

97
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:22,000
And it's for the low tension of the muscle, the muscle tone in the vascular system, which is 70,000 miles in every body of us.

98
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,000
That's why I say cold shower a day, keep the doctor, even the doctor is doing it.

99
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
You see how I go?

100
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Yeah, well, it's so pertinent.

101
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Yeah, man, the thing is, we have to bring back the simplicity to the people that we are in charge of our own body and our own mind.

102
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
We are built to be so.

103
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:02,000
But we got so, as you said in the beginning, into the external that we think we need something out there to be in here,

104
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
able to regulate what is out of balance.

105
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,000
No, we need to go with our minds, with the commander, the captain.

106
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,000
We are the captain of our own ship.

107
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,000
That's the way nature meant us to be.

108
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Not to need something out there.

109
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:27,000
A captain on a boat doesn't need another boat to pull him.

110
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:38,000
No, he needs to be igniting the forces inside the boat to go the directions he set out for.

111
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:51,000
That is the way we are the captain of our own ship inside the commander of the over the neurology, which is everywhere in our body, our bodies.

112
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:57,000
And it is connected to the vascular system, which is 70,000 miles.

113
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:06,000
The contraction and opening of that vascular channels inside is done by the neurology, by nerve endings.

114
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:14,000
And they are connected with our will, which is also a neurosignaling coming.

115
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
And therefore, we have the ability.

116
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000
For example, right now, close your eyes.

117
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Close your eyes a moment.

118
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Now, just be in your body and feel, become aware of the heartbeat in your left big toe.

119
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,000
I feel it. Can you feel it? Yes, yes, I can.

120
00:11:50,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Yeah, that is the way we our consciousness is able to go into any part of our body, not only into the left toe, but also into the liver, into the heart, into the intestines, into the scrotum, into the thighs, into any any place.

121
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:17,000
That is the power of our thoughts to balance out what is out of balance inside of our own bodies.

122
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:25,000
And if we just breathe well, if we breathe well, then the pH levels, they rise.

123
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
They become alkaline.

124
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:38,000
The right pH level makes the neurosignaling of our will able to do the job inside our bodies.

125
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
It's amazing. It truly is.

126
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,000
So I would love to just just get some background and then get up to your work.

127
00:12:46,000 --> 00:13:02,000
I think there's no better time than now to talk about breath and mental health, talk about breath and immunity. But just I don't want to drag you down the same road you've been a lot of times with the Everest crime and the world record breaking ice.

128
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,000
It's all new. It's all new. It's all new.

129
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:17,000
So I'd love to just start at the very beginning, though. So if you wouldn't mind, because this is an area that I haven't heard you discuss on many podcasts and I watched several documentaries on this as well.

130
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Keep your reservations away. Just shoot.

131
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Shoot.

132
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:30,000
All right. So tell me where you were born and then tell me about your family dynamic, what your parents did and how many siblings.

133
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Yes, I was with I was one of nine and my father was not able to work because he had like seven or nine hernias and he was operated.

134
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000
He was invalid. He was a great guy.

135
00:13:48,000 --> 00:14:02,000
He played a lot at home with all the siblings. And so very little money we had living in the south of the Netherlands, one kilometer from Germany, 12, 12 kilometers from Belgium.

136
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000
It's like different languages coming to you.

137
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Back then, I'm talking 50, 60 years ago, the television was like two channels, black and white, was not even introduced at a certain moment. It was introduced black and white, two channels.

138
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:28,000
And then but I learned how to speak German because it was only one kilometer away, my own language.

139
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
And then you got French. French is like 12 kilometers away. It was French speaking a language.

140
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,000
And so you learn those languages from early age.

141
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000
And we because my father was always at home. He was invalid.

142
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,000
He had a allowance from the government.

143
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
And yeah, he played a lot with us.

144
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:56,000
We had a lot of checkers, playing cards, playing football.

145
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,000
I mean, he was invalid for work, but he could direct and he was funny.

146
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000
And my mother was a Puritan.

147
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:13,000
My father was like a gypsy and my mother was a naive, but very pious woman, Catholic.

148
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Catholic. And we had the church always. We always played in the church.

149
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
We thought it was bollocks and nonsense.

150
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,000
You know, a man standing there doing, oh, he's a super Christ and this and that.

151
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000
And I don't know what the church did, but divine it is not.

152
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
We played a lot in the church still.

153
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Yet I believe in a real belief, a real faith is something very, very,

154
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000
it's the most precious thing in the world, in the universe itself.

155
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Because belief makes, it is the power of your mind.

156
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Through our belief, we are able to manifest anything.

157
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
We only have to keep on with our faith.

158
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
And we lost that in this society.

159
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
But back then, we played a lot.

160
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:09,000
I've been growing up doing, playing every day with all my siblings.

161
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:16,000
And of course, we also had different elders, the older three siblings.

162
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
They were having their own thing.

163
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000
And then you got the middle part and then you got the little part in the back, like an animal.

164
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:33,000
The tail in the back, we wear the middle part and the hat, those were the oldest people, the oldest guys.

165
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:45,000
We're always looking up, but not too much because we in our ballet say of our own bubble of three, four guys.

166
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:53,000
That was me, my twin brother, and Rudy, my just younger brother, two years younger,

167
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
and the other one four years younger.

168
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
So we played a lot.

169
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:06,000
And then when I became like 12 years, I began to become having great interests.

170
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:13,000
In contrary of all the people living in Lemberg at that time being Catholic,

171
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,000
and you need to go for your career and school and position and money.

172
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:26,000
I was into esoteric disciplines like Buddhism into Hinduism and becoming a vegetarian at 13,

173
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
which was something very unknowing.

174
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:40,000
I was the black sheep suddenly, not eating meat, makes you a strange guy, alien guy.

175
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Why is he doing that? That is not sane.

176
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
That is not good what he is doing.

177
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000
I had to be like everybody else, but I was not.

178
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:59,000
And so from 12 on, once you begin to do something out of the ordinary, you think different, you are different.

179
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:04,000
And I began to philosophize a lot, debate a lot, think a lot.

180
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,000
When I became 17, I had read hundreds of books already.

181
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:19,000
And I remember this day in Sunday morning, it was nobody around in the park, me pondering again,

182
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:25,000
philosophizing in my head, you know, it's like a hamster always goes on, on, on, on.

183
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Then I saw the cold water, and the cold water drew me.

184
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:37,000
It was an attraction coming from my instinct, something.

185
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,000
And it attracted me, and I went into the cold water, and I felt what I was looking for.

186
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:49,000
And that was a deeper connection with my physiology, past the controlling.

187
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Here I had to let go.

188
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:58,000
And if you let go, a deeper being, a deeper awareness comes to you, and you become one with it.

189
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,000
That's what I felt, but I did not know that at that time, but I felt it.

190
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:12,000
And that made me feel so good, and I had this rush all the day, just being one and a half minutes in this icy water.

191
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:22,000
And I felt great going into the ice water because I was ready to take the pump from being a philosopher and thinker into feeling.

192
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Now I'm saying to everybody, feeling is understanding, because feeling comes from the deep.

193
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:39,000
And we lost feeling when we are in love, we then a feeling endows us, which is fearless.

194
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,000
We just want to go to our love. We end up thinking at that moment.

195
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:52,000
That moment, the power within us is stronger than our fear, than our doubt, than our thinking.

196
00:19:52,000 --> 00:20:02,000
We are no longer wise or is just blind into this faith, into this power called love.

197
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,000
And that was exactly what happened when I was 17.

198
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:15,000
And since then, I've been doing that every day in my life, during every winter, going into the icy water.

199
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:25,000
And the thing you become aware of when you go into icy water is breathing.

200
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:35,000
And you learn that deeper breathing makes you powerful, makes you stronger than the icy water is able to contain you in.

201
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:44,000
So I did that. And very soon I could stay five to seven minutes under the water in icy water, in peace.

202
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Fully in control. Imagine what kind of control that is.

203
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:56,000
It's not only the holding of the breath, it is the being in icy water and feel great.

204
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,000
I told nobody because everybody was thinking, of course, I was crazy.

205
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Who goes into icy cold water? Who is so crazy?

206
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:14,000
He's taking his clothes off in winter time and snow outside his eyes and he's going to go in there.

207
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:20,000
He's crazy. He must be an idiot, a crazy frenetic.

208
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Forty five years ago, forty five years ago, I began to go into icy water.

209
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:35,000
And that changed my physiological, my physics, my awareness, which is much deeper.

210
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000
And that's logic. And that's what I'm showing now.

211
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Everybody in the world. In the beginning, I thought, yeah, I kept it only for myself.

212
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:53,000
But twenty five years later, doing all the practice, all the time, changing my consciousness, changing my understanding of how body and mind.

213
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:59,000
I got a contact with a newspaper and they did an article on me, just a little.

214
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
But it was enough to explode the television world to get to me.

215
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:14,000
And then I showed on TV that going into freezing icy water didn't inhibit me to do splits.

216
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:24,000
One arm handstands, put two legs behind my head after being in the icy cold water in freezing temperatures.

217
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Cardiovascular system, which is working like oil, like smear, like like ointment for the articulations and tendons and muscles.

218
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:45,000
So much that I was so flexible even after being a half hour in icy water.

219
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:51,000
I just just before this, I was also an icy vet for a quarter of an hour.

220
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Directly afterwards, I'm just doing splits and all kinds of flexibility.

221
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,000
I'm 62. I'm more flexible than any youngster.

222
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Or they have to do real professional ballet or all these women, these Chinese girls or gymnastics.

223
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000
I'm very flexible.

224
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:19,000
And man, this is because when you go into the cold, you train your cardiovascular system.

225
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
And that is killer number one.

226
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Killer number one is cardiovascular related diseases in our society.

227
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
You go a cold shower a day, keeps the doctor away.

228
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
How simple can we bring it?

229
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:52,000
But how much it is needed in this society, and especially now with this fear, so much fear and so much knowledge forgotten about what we can do against and fear and take autonomy over our body and mind when there is danger.

230
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Now, they say there is danger of COVID.

231
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
We can just bring it down.

232
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,000
I've shown this in the university studies.

233
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:09,000
So why does not being taken up because we think too much that we need the doctor, we need the pill.

234
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,000
We are in fear because they say it to us that we are in fear.

235
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
It's like a mantra.

236
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
It gets to us.

237
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,000
If you say a person, you are a donkey, you are a donkey.

238
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,000
At a certain moment, he doesn't talk to you anymore.

239
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,000
It begins to do.

240
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,000
You know, they begin to act like donkeys.

241
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Our society has made us fearful beings while our soul does not know fear.

242
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Our soul lives forever and is unbreakable.

243
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Where is that spirit when we are in love?

244
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
We have no fear.

245
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Where is the love for life?

246
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Where is that uninhibited power?

247
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
That's what they should teach us in the schools.

248
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:08,000
And that's where I come in from nature, knowledge that makes us able to control our brain and body so much better in just one day.

249
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:18,000
In one day, through one podcast, we can awaken people to their innate capacity to rule over their happiness, strength, and health.

250
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:24,000
It's nothing more than logical to be in control of your happiness, strength, and health.

251
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
We got the capacities.

252
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:40,000
We got a hormonal system, immune system, the energy systems in our cells, and we have shown true science, so no speculation about it, that we are able to control that at will.

253
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
So, there it is.

254
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,000
I had a podcast with him, the bulletproof guy.

255
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
A lot of people know that.

256
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000
But in his podcast, he said, Wim, it seems you got some answers there.

257
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000
And what is enlightenment?

258
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
And please tell it me in one sentence.

259
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:10,000
And then he said, OK, all Bibles and Korans are written on that, but I got to say what is enlightenment in one sentence.

260
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Just be happy, strong, and healthy, because the rest is bullshit.

261
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:24,000
We believe so much bullshit, they have been telling us that we need cars to be happy, houses to be happy.

262
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,000
We need all kinds of external compensation to be happy.

263
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:41,000
They promised us disguise and divinity and God itself and psychedelic beauty and amazing experiences if we only buy what they got.

264
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
But we got it already.

265
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000
We got it with the T and with the D.

266
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
We got it.

267
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
We are that.

268
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,000
We are born to be divine.

269
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,000
We are born to be in control, in check of our neurology.

270
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
That is our brain.

271
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Do not develop only 16% control over our brain, but 100.

272
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000
And that's what I show in Brainscan.

273
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:18,000
I show how to at will, conscious will, activate 100% neural activity in the brain.

274
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And then because of true breathing exercises, you can do that.

275
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:32,000
You can change the biochemistry in the whole of brain, then the blood flow changes and the neural active.

276
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Then you are able to connect with any space in your own brain.

277
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000
It's nothing more than logic.

278
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,000
When the soul is not fertile, how can you see it?

279
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:55,000
When our brain has a blood flow mostly in our thinking brain, then 25% less blood flow is in the rest of the brain.

280
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
It's on the standby.

281
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
It's not flourishing.

282
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:06,000
It's not the right conditions to enter in, build into the rest of our pain.

283
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:13,000
That's why we need external validation, compensation, pills, this and that.

284
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:27,000
And now we have shown in Detroit how to enter into the deepest part of our brain at will and robustly activate that part.

285
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
And that makes us now able.

286
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
It has been shown.

287
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:46,000
It has been in a paper, and these professors say we now have the compelling evidence of the key components of the autonomous related to mood regulation.

288
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000
We can control at will our mood.

289
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
When we feel sick, our mood is affected.

290
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:59,000
When we feel emotionally disturbed, our mood is out of balance.

291
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:05,000
And anything that is stressed in the end is biochemical stress.

292
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:16,000
And now we are able at will, because that's part of the biochemistry, our will, neurotransmitters, to re-regulate our mood.

293
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Whatever the cause is of the stress, could be emotional, bacterial, viral, mental, physical, doesn't matter.

294
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000
In the end, it's biochemical stress.

295
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000
And that makes us feel bad.

296
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:39,000
And now we are able to re-regulate that out of balance mood and to bring balance.

297
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:51,000
And that's what I've been showing in Detroit and in Hanover in one of the two best brain scans of the world.

298
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,000
And it is science only. We make money of people who are sick.

299
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,000
That is the disease in this world. With the money.

300
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,000
We are unconditionally able to be happy, strong, and healthy.

301
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
That's the way nature meant it to be.

302
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:22,000
That's the way nature, through millions of years of trial and error, has given us being capacitated to rule over our body in our own brain.

303
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:31,000
And then they say in science, only 16% of our brain we can control at will. It's 100!

304
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:41,000
It is stupid to think that after millions of years we got a brain that is a lump of meat that is only 16% in our control.

305
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,000
It's 100! And it makes us able to be happy, strong, and healthy.

306
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Because the brain is the neurology connected to the hormonal system.

307
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:59,000
That means the dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, the opioids, the cannabinoids, the whole thing is inside regulated.

308
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:07,000
And we are able to at will control that. To enter into it. To rebalance what is out of balance.

309
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Maybe less dopamine becoming depressive.

310
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,000
And then we need, okay I want some more dopamine man, inside.

311
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:25,000
And then if you go into icy water, dopamine is being risen with 250%.

312
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:31,000
And noradrenaline, which lacks, is one of the crucial factors for depression.

313
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:40,000
And noradrenaline lack is risen with 540%. It's science. It's a pill without side effects.

314
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:49,000
And why are they not? I did not hear anything while the Covid so-called pandemic is going on.

315
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:57,000
That they talk about how to boost your immune system naturally. They don't talk about it!

316
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,000
I've been saying the same thing for almost two years.

317
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Yes, so they are murderers and I don't believe in murderers.

318
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:14,000
And I say something which is even good for those people who think they can make billions and trillions upon our misery.

319
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:24,000
And have people die. For those I have a very positive message. You don't need money to be happy.

320
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:30,000
You want to be really happy? We got it. Just breathe motherfucker. That's what I say.

321
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:37,000
And go and take the cold shower. Sometimes get out of the comfort zone behavior.

322
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Because you need to deep stimulate your brain, which is in deeper areas than you're thinking.

323
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:53,000
And for that it needs deep stimulation. Once that begins to work, your monosystem begins to become within your control.

324
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Your immune system becomes within your control. And we have shown that.

325
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:09,000
And your energy systems, the amount of energy you need, you will be able to have access to so much more energy than you need.

326
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:15,000
And with that you will automatically or naturally help others.

327
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Because anything you got too much, you can give away. It's a natural thing. That is the real human.

328
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:32,000
So we forgot to be real humans and we think we need to buy things to become happy. It's not.

329
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:43,000
And now the turning point needs to be done and I do that through science. Only the best of them in the world.

330
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:52,000
So I go where no speculation is there. I go where we are able to enter into a new paradigm.

331
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:03,000
And the new paradigm is where in we have control over our own mind. For God's sake, it's our own mind.

332
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:12,000
I just say autonomy within our own mind, who is the director of all the systems inside our body.

333
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,000
And with that we have the capacity to become happy, strong and healthy.

334
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:23,000
And it all started when I was 12 years in a family with nine siblings.

335
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:30,000
But I was born one of the twins. Like 62 years ago.

336
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Back then they only had these wooden trumpets to listen to what is going on inside in the womb of the mother.

337
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:49,000
There were two children. I was still in. Well, my brother was being delivered.

338
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:57,000
I was still in and they thought, there's no one in there. I was so deeply in, they didn't notice there was another one.

339
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:03,000
And they only almost too late found out I was there.

340
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:09,000
And they rushed me to the operation room because I was too deep in.

341
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:19,000
And my mother, who was the highest woman, faithful, Catholic, also in fear at that moment, they were going to God.

342
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:28,000
While they were rushing her and her bed to the operation room, she was invocating at that moment, saying,

343
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:40,000
I will make him a missionary. And there I came out, out of the black hole, into the world, into the light.

344
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:51,000
And with those words I almost was suffocated. It was purple little shit coming out with those words.

345
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Look what it now has become. I will change the world, man. You know why?

346
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Because the world needs it. And I will reach billions of people now working with the BBC, 12 programs in January.

347
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:19,000
And that will read, I will show that people are able to heal them for days as the medical establishment could not heal them in 20 years.

348
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:29,000
And maintain them in pills and medicines and therapies and still having the same disease there. Only a sort of maintain.

349
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:35,000
They survive. I will show them how to connect with their healing power.

350
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:43,000
That is where this came from. Because I am that missionary. I am what my mother told me to do.

351
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Without me knowing subconsciously, little purple shit coming to the world. And there with those words, they are tattooed upon me.

352
00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:07,000
And I found out 48 years later, I found out, yes, 48 years I was back in New York, doing a world record outside.

353
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:17,000
And then the day after I went to an institute. And that institute, Feinstein Institute, a biochemical institute in New York,

354
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:27,000
supervised by Dr. Kevin Tracy, one of the board members of the jury of the Nobel Prize winners for medical achievement, a real authority.

355
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:40,000
New York state healthcare. He supervised that experiment where I was experimented while doing my techniques in a nice room.

356
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:46,000
They took the blood from one side and I was connected to a heart, lung meter on the other side.

357
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:59,000
And I was doing my thing. A week later, I got the results. And I did a documentary at that moment with 2020.

358
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:11,000
And I got them the medical mysteries. It was chapter number 12, I think, the human popsicle.

359
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Because I had done being immersed in ice for one hour, 34 at that time in the middle of New York.

360
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:28,000
I was on Times Square, I saw myself that evening. It was kind of flabbergasted.

361
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,000
But the other day I went to that institute and a week later I got the results.

362
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:42,000
And it showed that I had influenced deeply into the vagus nerve. And if you do that, that means you bring down inflammation.

363
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:51,000
And inflammation takes down in a death every year 60 to 70 million people.

364
00:38:51,000 --> 00:39:04,000
So COVID is 5 million people, it's also inflammation based. But inflammation caused diseases is like 60 to 70 million a year.

365
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Nobody talks about that because it's good business. But I showed in 2014 how to get it down.

366
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:22,000
But back then in 2007, I showed at the Einstein Institute. And then Dr. Ken Kamler, who followed me with the results,

367
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:32,000
I was looking over Central Park from a hotel there at the 16th store.

368
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:44,000
He told me, Dr. Ken Kamler, I got the results. When if you are able to reproduce the results given after your experiments the last week,

369
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:59,000
then that means huge consequences for human mankind. And then he named so many diseases related to having no control over the vagus nerve

370
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:07,000
or having control over the vagus nerve. Up till then, nobody showed being able to influence deeply into the vagus nerve.

371
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:17,000
I did as the first one. And then he said, if you are able to reproduce these results in a group of people, that means more human mankind.

372
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:26,000
And at that moment, the dime fell. As they say in Dutch, de korte, ding, yeah, I can do that. Because what is it?

373
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:36,000
It is breathing and believing. And that makes the inflammation go down. I can do that. Boom, half hour later, there the missionary was born.

374
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Half hour later, I got a phone call, Wim, your mother has died. You see how it relates? My story. And it's real.

375
00:40:47,000 --> 00:41:01,000
We all have stories, but we got to listen to our mothers, to our hearts, to their love, to the care inside and never, never be shaken into in our faith

376
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:11,000
to be able to make the change, whatever it takes. We are the soul. The soul is eternal, unbreakable. There is no fear.

377
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:21,000
When you are in love, you go, you fly. Nothing can stop you. Where is that power? That is who we are. And that is where we missing out.

378
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:32,000
That is where I came from with my family when I was young in a society where you need money, you need to be Catholic.

379
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:44,000
But I got my mother to invocate at my birth and she did it. Somehow she did it. Mothers, holy mothers, my holy mother.

380
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Every mother is holy. And that's the way we need to respect the world again and each other. We need to care and not to be self-indulges.

381
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:05,000
And it is, and it is. No, you need to care for each other. Then the blessing will come and it will, it will filter down to your soul.

382
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:18,000
And then your soul is blessed. And then you feel real satisfaction. You will feel real peace deeply inside your subconscious, everywhere in your brain.

383
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:29,000
And then it becomes full bloom. The neurology keeps on growing inside like being a child. Stronger the growth than the understanding.

384
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:39,000
We get stuck. We get clotted inside. And we need to be innocent again. Innocence is right here, right now.

385
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Like every tree grows bigger every year. And that's the way our brains work as well. It is like a tree, the neural activity, it grows newly, newly, newly.

386
00:42:51,000 --> 00:43:05,000
When it grows newly, newly, newly, it's expanding consciousness, perception, neurology. And then you are saved because it connects with all the vascular system, the hormonal system, anything.

387
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:12,000
And I found it. I found what my mother had invulnerable. And so I'm that missionary.

388
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:20,000
And if I can change the world, because I'm going to change the world within two years, Hollywood film is also coming now.

389
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Next year, it's out about my life. But mostly is to show that one person with faith is able to do, to change the world.

390
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:46,000
I'm not able as a simple guy, humble guy. But I arise and I say, I say I can do it. That's my faith. I got the right to have faith.

391
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:54,000
So if I'm able to do that, what can we do both? What can we do with all the listeners who are listening right now?

392
00:43:54,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Guys, get your faith in. You are born to be divine. You are born because God exists, because light exists. It's neurology. It's DNA. It's our ancestors.

393
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:26,000
We can dive into it. We are the natives in harmony with nature. The native is one is back and science is showing in the DNA research that the genetic past, the trauma of the genetic past, we can heal it.

394
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:35,000
With that, we heal and free the spirits of our ancestors. Have some care. Have some love for your ancestors.

395
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Respect for others and sisters because we are here on the most beautiful spot of the universe. We don't need to go to Mars.

396
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:58,000
We don't need to go become nuts and go to Mars or any other Milky Way and chocolate. We need to go back on the earth and become one with who we are for real.

397
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:10,000
That soul, that beautiful soul, we're shining like diamonds in our eyes every day and enjoy it unconditionally everywhere.

398
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:21,000
And in that way, we will take down inflammation with that cancer and depression and disease and just feel great as we are.

399
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Beautiful. Well, you touched on depression. A lot of people listening are military first responders, medical and mental health or lack thereof is definitely a factor.

400
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:43,000
Now, you were exposed to that very acutely by losing your wife in 1995. You already had this breathwork. You already had this cold exposure by that point.

401
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:54,000
What impact did the loss of your wife have on your practice and was a lot of that preparation that you did, did that prepare you for that?

402
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,000
Because when I got divorced, I listened to a lot of Wayne Dyer. I don't know if you know who that was.

403
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:04,000
And it really gave me the tools to deal with the grief of losing my marriage.

404
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Great. Yes, I was already doing these things. But then at that moment, I really consciously took over the stair and intensified my practice because the only time I didn't feel this agonizing current within myself,

405
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:39,000
which caused by the loss of my love of my life, being alone with four children, I mean, that's a marriage that is a commitment and not to be in myself, indulging emotional agony, which is unstoppable in a person.

406
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:52,000
If you have no contact or connection with that, but going into the icy water, then the emotional agonizing current is just stopping because you have to survive.

407
00:46:52,000 --> 00:47:06,000
And that gave me an opening, a relief. So you could find me every day, quite some time into freezing water because it made me it healed me.

408
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:20,000
It stopped the agonizing wheel. And with that, the breathing, the breathing is if you go into icy water, you breathe deep, you go deep.

409
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Emotion is deep. But because we live in destimulated behavior in thinking brains, we never go deep inside our own brain.

410
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:41,000
When the emotion is damaged at that moment, we don't know how to go there because we never go. And we take it for granted.

411
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Go into discomfort a moment and you will be able to enter into the depth of your brain and then regulate what is out of balance.

412
00:47:51,000 --> 00:48:07,000
And when you get divorced, when you get PTSD, when you get a trauma, whatever it resides within the emotional brain, we go even with these practices now because you are the one to go into the practice.

413
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:22,000
You go into practice, you go consciously with that practice, with those systems that go be activated while you go into this discomfort.

414
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:30,000
When you go into the cold, then deeper systems inside the brain have to work. You have to survive.

415
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:52,000
You create neural pathways, connection, and you get a hold of those systems. And those systems need to work when you are in emotional agony or disturbance, which is stored up in the hill campus and in the amygdala, the fear and the storage of trauma.

416
00:48:52,000 --> 00:49:03,000
There we are able to get in because now we have learned to consciously, neurologically connect with those deeper systems.

417
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:14,000
The survival systems are there too because when something dangerous happens, then the trauma is being stored biochemically in those parts.

418
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:26,000
When you lose your wife, when you have a divorce, then you are emotionally, it is stored up. You cannot deal with that motion at that moment.

419
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:34,000
It is traumatic. It is painful. And you don't know how to get there, but it is sending signals to you.

420
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:51,000
Hey, do something about me. Do something about me. You got to work me out, but you cannot. Through doing these practices, and that's exactly what I did when I suffered the trauma back then, I could just enter.

421
00:49:51,000 --> 00:50:11,000
I felt relief. In the beginning, I was not aware. Hey, I just felt relief. So you go back, but then you become conscious that you are able, even without the eyes, without the practice, to make adjustments just at will.

422
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Because I've been so many times into that survival brain, into that danger brain, when we get divorced, it's dangerous what is happening because you are deeply rooted, connected inside the brain it is.

423
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:41,000
And we cannot heal that because it's torn away. And at that moment, you are able to descend with your extra consciousness and heal it.

424
00:50:41,000 --> 00:51:02,000
And then now I can talk about my wife. I can talk about my second marriage, which was not a marriage, but 10 years together, and being with one kid with her, and she separated. She wanted to separate. Not me. I was really depressed once again.

425
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:14,000
I was torn again, and I had to fight myself again. But now I'm happy I did that because I learned how to deal with emotions.

426
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:35,000
The professor saying, now we have the compelling evidence, it's dramatic, and it is in science, scientific paper. We got the compelling evidence of the key components of the autonomous processes in the brain, that what was outside of our control.

427
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:52,000
Now we have the found the keys related to mood regulation. We got it. And this is for all the people who are into depression caused by whatever could be divorced PTSD, or whatever is a trauma.

428
00:51:52,000 --> 00:52:08,000
It causes depression, it causes deregulation of your dopamine, your serotonin, your normal hormonal homeostasis. We got the way to tap in to give you the keys by listening now.

429
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Just dive a little bit more deeper in what I'm telling you. Look on the website, connect with the community of all those people who had PTSD, who had suffered of divorces, of child loss, or very heavy diseases like cancer or whatever.

430
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Go there and these people will talk, not me. I'm here just to provide simple techniques. And I go through science. There's no speculation about it.

431
00:52:43,000 --> 00:53:01,000
I'm here to explain that we found the ways to go in and to heal from severe trauma caused by whatever reason. Even it could be your genetic past coming to you in this life, and you don't know why is this happening with me?

432
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:15,000
Why did I become? It's your genetic past. And we have the ability to get into the genes as well. I'm doing the studies right now with San Francisco with the top researchers of the world.

433
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:31,000
So this, it has it. This is the future. We are the future. The future is wherein we autonomously take control of our own mind, our own happiness, health, and strength.

434
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:46,000
Because that's the way nature built us to be, not to be schooled to sodomize the planet and to systemize the planet for a couple of idiots who think they can control us and take all the money.

435
00:53:46,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Stop it guys. This is over. It's done. We need to take autonomy and we have found the tools. So it's up to the person who is looking at this and we, you and me, James and Wim here provide a platform and they talk sense, common sense.

436
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:27,000
We have found through science the tools to get into your own mind and your own body. For God's sake, it is your mind and your body and nature after millions of years has given all the capacitation to end it what is out of order.

437
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Mental disorders, physical disorders, it does not matter. Emotional disorders, we have the tools only. We are never schooled therein. And that's why we need to bring this into schools.

438
00:54:41,000 --> 00:55:01,000
That happiness, which is related to hormones, the hormonal system does. Health, which is related to the immune system and the control over the immune system much deeper. And power, energy, that is the energy systems, mitochondrial activity.

439
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:15,000
All that is now scientifically shown that we are able to get into that. They should not only show us mathematics, history and language and only partially have control.

440
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:34,000
We should have control over it all. Once you get the sack because there is no work, you still have to be struggling out there. We have to change the paradigm and we got the tools to show it scientifically evidence-based.

441
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:50,000
So there it is. This is what the person who is looking at this needs to know. Hey guys, we got the terrorists. We got them. And that is not Osama bin Laden. It's the terror in our own minds.

442
00:55:50,000 --> 00:56:09,000
That is terrorizing our minds, making us unhappy, unhealthy and not feeling the strength of life no more. That one, we're gonna take it down. Take him or whatever it is down. And we are up.

443
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:25,000
Love it. And it makes so much sense. I want to preface something so people can understand and make sure I'm even understanding it correctly. So there is a very well understood philosophy that we have become incredibly comfortable being uncomfortable.

444
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:39,000
We're uncomfortable being uncomfortable in a lot of the professions that are listening. At times we are incredibly uncomfortable. I'll train in my bunker gear, my fire gear and it's incredibly hot and we're carrying a lot of heavy gear.

445
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:56,000
But what I've observed is that's once in a while and the rest of the time we might go to a cardiac arrest. But even though my nervous system is through the roof, I'm just holding a cardiac monitor and I'm not having any physical offloading of the stress.

446
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:16,000
So when you do your breathing techniques, you're stimulating the sympathetic nervous system. Is that because in the natural world we would have had an extreme response and then an extreme recovery versus the kind of slow burn of stress that most people are exposed to?

447
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:30,000
Absolutely. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity is considered within science not to be within our control. It's out of our control.

448
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:56,000
But now we have found we can deeply activate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity. That means sympathetic nervous system activities, knowing how to activate at will 100% of our flow, neurological flow that is, the nervous system and all.

449
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:08,000
That is what I have people to be. Because if you don't do that, if you go for say 80%, that's okay, but you create chemical residue.

450
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:14,000
And that's chemical residue in the long run will block your system energy.

451
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:34,000
And now through doing this, we, oh wow, I see a hummingbird. Wow, just here, two and a half meters from me. Now he is, he's two meters. He's showing us beauty, green, a resident color. He's into the flowers.

452
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:44,000
The bougainvillea. Look, look, just gone. I saw him in the reflection, the reflection of your window that I see in the background.

453
00:58:44,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Ah, you see, I was not lying. I believe you back. You know, all that. No, the thing is, the thing is, if you go into icy water, then the deeper autonomous processes in the, in the brain and body.

454
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:16,000
They need to work. And in our society, we made everything so comfortable because we are thinking beings.

455
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:21,000
They're beings led by thought and we create extension tools.

456
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:39,000
But the thinking brain is the newest part of our brain, but there are all the parts in our brain. They are then not stimulated anymore because we, we, we create extension tools coming from our thinking brain.

457
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:52,000
But we got a feeling brain and we got a survival brain, surviving brain. And there, there is in surviving, it is life force itself. It's reactive.

458
00:59:52,000 --> 01:00:00,000
It's the purpose. Why are we here? Because your survival brain, your life, the purpose of life simply is there.

459
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:11,000
You have no questions because you feel the life force. You are here because life is the purpose to live 100%, not 80% or 60%.

460
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:21,000
I don't know how much it is, but we live on shallow. We breathe shallow. We live shallow through our thinking brain.

461
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:37,000
And we choose not to go in discomfort, which actually is real comfort. Real comfort comes from feeling the survival part of our brain being alert.

462
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:49,000
So danger is not coming in. So what we do, for example, if we do this breathing, we bring ourselves in a dangerous state while being fully in control.

463
01:00:49,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Feeling kind of high and then create twice as much adrenaline, peaking, spiking in us more and more.

464
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:11,000
This has been a comparative study of these breathing techniques. Doing this breathing, you create a spike of adrenaline going through your system,

465
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:26,000
the terriblant and the adrenals to be activated. That's the adrenal axis. It has been activated to the deepest and creates twice as much adrenaline spike

466
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:43,000
than somebody who is going in there for his or her structure. That is bloody deep, deep stimulation. And with that, the systems for survival is to fend off danger.

467
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:56,000
And danger comes in our society in many ways, like bacterial, emotional, mental, viral, physical. It's all dangerous.

468
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:05,000
It affects our systems and we have our deep stress mechanisms that deal with that, not alert.

469
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:17,000
So logically, we can shoot people to Mars, but we cannot deal with cancer. We cannot deal with our immune diseases and depression.

470
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:31,000
What is this? Guys, come to your senses. Real comfort comes only when you learn to stimulate the deep brain, all of our brain,

471
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:46,000
not the way we are schooled, but all brain. And that means we are able to fend off any danger that comes to us if we only deep stimulate our brain.

472
01:02:46,000 --> 01:03:01,000
How it is being done? Breathing, breathing and cold. Very able to get to deep stimulate our brain stem and all the mechanisms that reside over there.

473
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:12,000
That is emotion. That is survival. That is dealing opioids and cannabinoids to deal with pain. It's all there.

474
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:22,000
That part we can learn to control because real comfort, real power comes when you are able to regulate your pain, to bring down your pain.

475
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:32,000
That means physical pain, but also emotional pain that you can heal yourself, that you can feel happy, strong and healthy anytime you want

476
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:46,000
because you are able to regulate the deep brain at will. And the world needs now to know that it is not difficult to deep stimulate our own brain,

477
01:03:46,000 --> 01:04:01,000
to have access into any part of our own brain through doing a couple of exercises that is able to activate those deep mechanisms at will.

478
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:11,000
We are doing those things at that moment. This should be brought into healthcare, general healthcare, global healthcare now.

479
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:25,000
Now, because it is simple, it is there, accessible and scientifically endorsed. So what we are doing now, James, is bringing this through this platform.

480
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:38,000
Because the governments, the power systems, the people who are in control of the money, they don't want people to be autonomously in control over their own happiness, strength and health.

481
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:54,000
They want them to go through the same cooling system, creating a narrowed down consciousness wherein the manipulation through advertisement, media and the whole thing is getting to the people and controlling their subconscious.

482
01:04:54,000 --> 01:05:02,000
And with that we create needs we don't need for real. And that now needs to stop.

483
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:17,000
People need to understand that the people who thought they have us within control since centuries, the same family who own about 80% of our own money,

484
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:31,000
we get so little while there is so much, there is abundance for everybody, only a couple of assholes thinking to control us.

485
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:41,000
And we got to stop this by learning to own our own mind. And that is in the sympathetic and in the parasympathetic nervous system.

486
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:57,000
And it has been shown that we are in control of the deep mechanisms within us that enable us to guarantee happiness, strength and health to us, ourselves and our children.

487
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:13,000
It is nothing more than logic that where we have a faith, a mental control that is able to guarantee happiness and strength and health to our children, for God's sake, our beloveds.

488
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:19,000
And to have a flourishing relationship everywhere where we are on the planet.

489
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:27,000
The mother in Tehran and in New York, they want the same. They want happiness, strength and health for their children.

490
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:34,000
Let's stop the stupid differences and go to the beautiful core values of life.

491
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:39,000
Happiness, strength and health. That is unconditionally there.

492
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:49,000
A happy man doesn't go to war. A happy man is not into possession. He is fully aware. And that's who we are.

493
01:06:49,000 --> 01:07:08,000
100%. And I think what's interesting, and I'm sure you've had the same lens, is this last year and a half, everything that empowers the individual to do exactly what you said, whether it's daylight, community, breath, good food, access to fitness equipment, all those were taken from the individual.

494
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,000
And they were told to hide and they were told to wait.

495
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:30,000
And we'll let you know when we have a treatment for you, whether it's a vaccine, whether it's ibumectin, whatever these minutiae that people argue about and the actual underlying mental and physical health and immunity of the individual was actually made far worse by the choices of these so-called leaders.

496
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Yes, I just recently had a podcast with, you know, the dog whisperer, and he says, we are crippled in this society with world leaders who think they can lead millions of people and direct them.

497
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:53,000
They cannot even control their own chihuahua.

498
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,000
I love that.

499
01:07:55,000 --> 01:08:13,000
And that's what it is. We have gotten so far out that the one who was able to carry out the shit that is going on, that is crippling us, and who are able to manipulate that shit, they become the leaders.

500
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:18,000
But they are no leaders. They are not happy. They are just in power.

501
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:36,000
And there they are. They are crippling us. And you see it. They have endowed us with regulations and restrictions, making us sick, making us mentally crippled through this one and a half year of COVID.

502
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,000
Man, they don't know. They should talk about the immune system.

503
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:48,000
And that's it. We have to bring prosperity to the world through these channels.

504
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:59,000
This now. We are talking common sense, guys. Common sense is the ability to be happy, strong and healthy in the family without the external needs.

505
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
You need a little, yeah, food. It is normal.

506
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:09,000
But you don't need six cars and ten houses and all what they say to become happy.

507
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:15,000
You don't need to go to movies and this and that and more and more and more and more external.

508
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:24,000
Cannot? Then you are in the bullshit created through the wrong neurological schooling of this society.

509
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:32,000
Be happy, be strong and healthy is living according to the natural laws, capacitated by Mother Nature.

510
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:41,000
If you are not in there, you are in the bullshit created. Get rid of the bullshit.

511
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:59,000
Yeah, I even noticed that move into America from England, you know, there was that whole concept of the American dream, which I think was based on, you know, healthy, happy, you know, just the idea of having a roof over your family's head, growing some food on that same little plot of land.

512
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:02,000
You know, having security, whether it's the white picket fence or whatever it is.

513
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:14,000
And then when I moved here in 2002, and then that's when the property boom was happening and my friends had all these extra things.

514
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:20,000
And then when it crashed, my friends had all this mental ill health from everything that they were losing that they clung to.

515
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:26,000
There was this new American dream that was a complete, you know, consumers facade.

516
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Yes, exactly. And it translates itself into neurological dependency, drug addicts.

517
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:41,000
Same thing. We are creating habits we don't need. And then we can make money.

518
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:47,000
That is the American dream now. And see where the American dream has gotten now.

519
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:56,000
One out of every four people working, they quit their jobs because they don't believe anymore in what the government is telling.

520
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:10,000
What the president is telling now that even little children who have perfect immunity against, they need to be subdued to some money making scheme of pharmaceuticals.

521
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:18,000
Like Nazis, they come. They've gotten there where they thought they won off in the Second World War. It's fascism.

522
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:24,000
It's pure fascism. Where you guys got now, they're in America.

523
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:30,000
I love America when I'm going there and I see the country, I see the people.

524
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:36,000
It's just where this corrupt people who are too much into power, but not real power.

525
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:42,000
Because real power is the ability to have control over your own happiness, strength and health.

526
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:51,000
You guys got too much into the money system, too much into Wall Street debt. And it needs to turn around.

527
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:58,000
We need to get back to our families with the right core values, happiness, strength and health.

528
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:14,000
And being able, scientifically shown, to guarantee that every family in America, be the great country, be the country of the free and free yourself of dependency.

529
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:26,000
Because you guys are enslaved with an external compensation while the family, the real builders of America, they have gone.

530
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Those values have gone. Rise guys. Be great. Be free in your mind and your body.

531
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:40,000
Be free of disease, of unhappiness and of weakness.

532
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Become strong, happy and healthy. Again, what is going on right now, we see it.

533
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:57,000
And that needs to stop. This nonsense needs to stop and become common again.

534
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:05,000
Core values straight up for everybody in the world. American dream is an American nightmare.

535
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:13,000
And stop it now. Because wake up to the new reality. There is a new beautiful day coming.

536
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:21,000
Let's get into that and let's give that to our new generations because we love them. Don't we?

537
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:27,000
Then give it. Then give it. Then make it happen.

538
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:34,000
That's where we come in, James. We come in, create platforms and shout it out.

539
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:45,000
It's there. The light is there, the future is ours to guarantee happiness, strength and health for our children, for God's sake.

540
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Beautiful. Well, I want to give you a quick kind of anecdotal story about my experience with the app because I want everyone listening.

541
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:58,000
That's kind of like the next generation where technology is doing good things. Podcast technology is doing good things.

542
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:04,000
I think there are a lot of benefits to this virtual world that's connecting us globally.

543
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,000
Absolutely.

544
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Your app, there's a completely free component to it. People have the option of subscribing and getting more content.

545
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:20,000
But one thing that really amazed me and I'm relatively new jumping back into it. I dabbled at best before.

546
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:29,000
I'm actually on my own kind of regenerative path. I'm six weeks, no alcohol, meditation, foundation training, some other things to really reclaim some of my health.

547
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:33,000
But I did the breath work and then a minute cold shower this morning.

548
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:43,000
And without, there's no other way to describe it. I felt like I just had sex, good sex, like post orgasm, post coital.

549
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:59,000
And it really made me remember of some things I heard about extramarital affairs in people with mental health challenges, for example, police fire and that release giving you that parasympathetic response, that deregulation.

550
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:07,000
So if you wouldn't mind, tell everyone about all the options that are available on the Wim Hof method app.

551
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:14,000
So post coital bliss. That's what's coming to you guys. Yes.

552
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:30,000
Not only I tell you, if you do this, according to a immunologist and the genetic professors, they say that the gene responsible for virility really spikes.

553
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:37,000
So Viagra, goodbye. That is one of the so many benefits there.

554
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:43,000
If you drink too much, you know, you got to hang over within 20 minutes of this breathing.

555
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:51,000
The intoxication is out of there. That means toxins. You cleanse yourself doing this breathing.

556
01:15:51,000 --> 01:16:00,000
And it is for free. I mean, breathing, it doesn't cost 25 cents or $2.50. It is for free. Just do it.

557
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:10,000
So we got a breathing bubble. It's for free. It's there. You can also take some, you know, app, which is $4 or something.

558
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:22,000
But you cannot buy health. But you get it off this. I've been working 45 years on this and trying to bring it out. It's natural.

559
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:31,000
It is the consciousness to get back in line with yourself, to willfully control your happiness, strength and health.

560
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:40,000
All the systems you got inside. We do the breathing exercises. We do the cold practice to train the cardiovascular system.

561
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:50,000
And then we create a condition to go with our mind into our body and regain control over our happiness, strength and health.

562
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:58,000
That means the hormonal system, immune system, energy systems. And we are doing all the studies all the time. It's ongoing.

563
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:09,000
It's my mission to not miss, to touch your heart and to bring your heart full bloom, flourishing like a flower, a beautiful one.

564
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:19,000
That's who you are. So become beautiful. Take this. No nonsense techniques. Take it on. Just do it once.

565
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:27,000
And if it doesn't work, you can blaspheme me. But take it on once. You will be hooked. Why? Because this shit works.

566
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Got it? I salute you, you beautiful soul. Become beautiful. That is mother nature.

567
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Beautiful. I got one more area I want to touch on before I let you go. I want to be mindful of your time.

568
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:47,000
I know you're with your family, but with the people listening, a lot of us are wearing fire gear.

569
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:52,000
And one of the most crippling things I've found, I'm not really exposed to a lot of cold. I grew up in England.

570
01:17:52,000 --> 01:18:04,000
I grew up around cold swimming in like 46 degree lakes. But the heat from my skinny English physique in the gear was the most crippling area.

571
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:12,000
Now, I know you did a marathon in the Namib desert. So you were in extreme heat versus the ice and the cold that you're normally known for.

572
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:21,000
Were there any differences in dealing with that or any specific kind of visualizations or breathing techniques that work with the heat versus the cold?

573
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,000
Or was it exactly the same for you?

574
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Thermal regulation is being held by the hyperthalamus. So what I did in the full marathon beyond the polar circle in my shores,

575
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:45,000
after that, I decided now I saw everything in the cold. In the freezing cold, I did it.

576
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:55,000
Now I'm going to run into the heat. Because if I think logically about what is dealing with cold and controlling it,

577
01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:05,000
it's dealing with a neurological control over the hyperthalamus, which is the thermoregulator within our body.

578
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:12,000
Thermal regulation is also emotion, but it is also known as heat and cold.

579
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:19,000
You get blisters when you are in too much cold. You get blisters also when you are in too much heat.

580
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:29,000
It's the same reaction physically. So the thermoregulator, the hyperthalamus, is being trained by going into the cold.

581
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:40,000
You learn with your mind to deal with the cold, to exercise your adrenal axis before you go in.

582
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:46,000
Before you go in, you set your mind. With setting your mind, you set your body.

583
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:55,000
You are then ready to go into the cold and adapt. The same is for the heat.

584
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:04,000
You learn to set your mind. When you are a firefighter, before you go in, set your mind.

585
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:16,000
Then your mind is able to go directly connected into the thermoregulator, the thermo-hyperthalamus.

586
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:23,000
Then regulate. You set your mind before going into the job, into the fire.

587
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:31,000
Then incredible things happen. Adaptive powers will be in play, in charge of you.

588
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:41,000
You just let it go. Like going into the ice, you have to let go. Then at one and a half minutes, suddenly you are okay.

589
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:48,000
It's like that you go into the heat. Before you go into the heat, you set your mind.

590
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:56,000
Then when you are in the heat, then it will be able to re-regulate through the hyperthalamus,

591
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:02,000
the thermostat in your body making you cool while you are in there.

592
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:09,000
I showed this in Detroit. You guys have a perfusion vest on where you go into a firefight.

593
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:19,000
It's in there and it's cooling. That's what they did. They saw me in the brain scan.

594
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:32,000
They put me in the FMRI, in the brain scan. Then this big tunnel, radiographics and radiation, all that,

595
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:44,000
and taking the pictures and all. While I was in there, they exposed cold water into the perfusion vest directly onto my skin.

596
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:58,000
They saw me just by setting my mind, James, by setting my mind, I was able, not by doing anything anymore,

597
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:11,000
I was just being there, controlled and unconsciously in the tunnel, the FMRI scan, and they poured icy water onto my body,

598
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:19,000
my skin, my skin temperature, because I set my mind, did not go down.

599
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:29,000
You see? It's state warm. That is when the connection with the hyperthalamus is directly.

600
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:36,000
This is an innate capacity we all have. All only, never exercised.

601
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:45,000
If you don't exercise, you don't get muscles. It's logical, eh? We got brain muscles. It's neurological traffic.

602
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:52,000
Muscles is neurological traffic. Brains is neurological traffic. You have to exercise it.

603
01:22:52,000 --> 01:23:00,000
Then you get pathways, and those pathways make you able to set your mind before you go into the heat,

604
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:13,000
and then incredible powers come in play. Test it. Don't go to the extreme directly, but see and be conscious of the fact.

605
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:20,000
And let it go. When you go into the fire, approach it consciously, and it'll happen.

606
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:26,000
You don't need to be paranoid. Oh, I need control. I need control. No. Easy does it.

607
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:34,000
You are the observer because you already set your mind. Have respect for the powers of your mind.

608
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:45,000
At that moment when the external impact is there, internally it will do its job to neutralize so you can do your job.

609
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:52,000
I think what was interesting, the first Vice documentary I saw, you had the students, a whole group of students,

610
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:57,000
which is a big thing as well. People are saying, oh, well, whim's an anomaly. Well, over and over and over again,

611
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:01,000
you've shown that you can teach this to everyone. So, you know, truly intrinsic for all of us.

612
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:09,000
But then you had that group from Seek Discomfort come. So this was a group who had already put themselves in very, very uncomfortable positions,

613
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:16,000
had very extreme adrenal responses. And to me, that parallels police, fire, military.

614
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:22,000
We just don't know how to harness it and how to take the good from that and then disregard the bad from that.

615
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:29,000
So just talk to me about what your mind shift was, what your, the difference when you had that group,

616
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:37,000
because you basically didn't do any of the prep work and was still able to get them to do the exact same physical feats.

617
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:47,000
Yes, exactly. Use your mind. I made a shortcut. OK, guys, you guys, you think you can handle this.

618
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:53,000
Then I will test your power of your thoughts. I could feel it.

619
01:24:53,000 --> 01:25:03,000
And because I know how it works, I can take people and mirror it in extreme stressful situations.

620
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:14,000
Could be heat, could be cold, could be a spike, bat, could be, I don't know what, a thousand times push ups, whatever.

621
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:20,000
And change the control instantly just by the power of your thoughts.

622
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:27,000
It is like the mother who lifts up a car when because her child is underneath.

623
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:34,000
We have extreme powers therein, but we don't know how to, as you said, harness them.

624
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:42,000
But now we got it. They should every firefighter, every I also trained in Navy SEALs.

625
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:47,000
And, you know, the best of the best. That's what I do.

626
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:56,000
I say to the Olympians, I say, I don't care how good you are. I make you better. So listen up.

627
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:04,000
And that's what I do, because nature knows the best. And there we have unlimited resources.

628
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:14,000
The power of our mind is unlimited. Only we need to learn to access and to begin with, learn to set your mind.

629
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:23,000
Learn to have faith. And that faith is neurological investments, not into doubt.

630
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:29,000
Oh, I cannot do this. I need this. I need this. No, man, you need yourself, your mind,

631
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:35,000
and get in connection the way you are built by Mother Nature. Get it back.

632
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:46,000
In real dangerous situations, it is the responsibility of rescue, savers of humans and babies and animals and living beings

633
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:53,000
to be in connection with that unlimited power to save others. That is love.

634
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:58,000
Absolutely. Well, I'm sure people are captivated. If they haven't heard you before,

635
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:04,000
then I'm sure they're totally drawn in now if they've heard other interviews and they're in the responder and tactical professions.

636
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:10,000
I'm sure they're drawn in. So where can people find the books, the app, you know, the courses?

637
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:14,000
Where's the best place to go for all of those?

638
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:22,000
Just look for Wim Hof, the Iceman. It's the Wim Hof. That's my name. They gave it my name.

639
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:30,000
I'm happy with that. That's OK. Wim. It's WimHofMethod.com.

640
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:37,000
If you look it up, there you will see it. And all these features. Look at the people who have healed.

641
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:43,000
Look at the testimonials. I'm not talking bullshit, guys. I'm not just a storyteller.

642
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:50,000
I'm here to tell you. You are the storyteller of a great, great story, namely you.

643
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:55,000
You are the star within your film. And it's beautiful. I love it.

644
01:27:55,000 --> 01:28:03,000
I think it's very, very beautiful and very interesting. I want to hear your story. So go ahead.

645
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:07,000
Beautiful. Well, Wim, I just want to say thank you. We've covered mental health. We've covered immunity.

646
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:14,000
We've covered peak performance. So, you know, I've waited a long time to have this conversation.

647
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:21,000
When I first heard you, I realized the incredible power, not just as a human being, but as a tactical athlete as well.

648
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,000
But I just want to thank you. I mean, here you are now with your family.

649
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:30,000
You've got a little one on the knee. And to take the time to speak to our audience, just know that I am truly, truly grateful.

650
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:35,000
So thank you so much for coming on the podcast today. Great. James, thank you for having me.

651
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:41,000
You are doing great work. Let's keep it up and bring Sans back to the world where it belongs.

652
01:28:41,000 --> 01:29:09,000
All the love, all the power. We got it.
