0:00very soon you will be in the ice birth
0:02with me but I don't like the cold that's
0:06cool yeah oh gosh stay with your breath
0:11wh hop has defied logic time and time
0:13again he's able to withstand extreme
0:16cold and even ran to the top of Everest
0:18in his underwear he's proven we're all
0:20capable of pushing our minds and bodies
0:22way past what was thought possible they
0:24call me the ice man what is the purpose
0:26of living happiness strength and health
0:29you're rest is [ __ ] but this Society
0:32is sick and we cannot deal with stress
0:34it drains us but if we listen to our
0:37body we can change that through science
0:40so what is the first step breathing
0:42exercises it's about handling our
0:45emotion and feel that we are on top of
0:47it no matter what but we have never
0:50learned in our schooling how to do it
0:53next through the power of the mind we
0:56learn to make our bad feelings disease
0:59go away you were injected with eoli you
1:02had no negative immune response you took
1:05volunteers train them on your techniques
1:07and when they were injected their
1:08responses were similar to your own it's
1:10all possible how do you do that first we
1:13have
1:14to whim was there ever a time where the
1:17pain was even too much for you my wife
1:20took her own
1:23life
1:25and that led to depression and I was not
1:29able to do do
1:30[Music]
1:32anything there's so many people that are
1:34going through different forms of grief
1:35what would you say to those people the
1:37only way to break that
1:42is we've just hit 6 million subscribers
1:44on the dver co um so me and my team
1:47would like to do something we've never
1:48done before as little thank you and
1:49we're calling it The di of Co subscriber
1:52raffle and here is how it works every
1:54episode this month we're going to pick
1:55three current subscribers at random and
1:57we'll send one of you a 1,000 value
2:00one of you tickets to come and watch the
2:01D behind the scenes live with our team
2:04and one of you will have a 10-minute
2:05phone call with me to discuss whatever
2:07you want to talk about if you're a
2:08subscriber you're in the raffle thank
2:11you from the bottom of my heart for
2:13allowing me to do something that me and
2:15my team love doing so much it is the
2:17greatest honor of my lifetime and I hope
2:18it I hope it continues uh off into the
2:21Future Let's get to the
2:22[Music]
2:28episode whm yes what is your
2:33mission my mission is to bring uh love
2:36and power very simple but then through
2:39signs so there is no speculation about
2:42it they in all the songs you hear love
2:45is the greatest power and all that you
2:48know but we should be able to feel it
2:52and because we could not feel that
2:54anymore to be uh uh too consumed through
2:59consumerism
3:00through uh everyday very hectic
3:03stressful lives we get confused in it
3:08all we are depleted in our energy our
3:11energy is being drained through a system
3:14that is an inally being divided in its
3:20wealth and therefore people are not able
3:23uh to use their energy to bring up uh
3:27the the right values back in the family
3:29which is patience which is empathy
3:33creativity uh
3:35love composed by happiness strength and
3:39health so because there is confusion in
3:43that area that's why uh I I thought hey
3:48I'm going to start somewhere here and
3:51now I'm going to change the world and I
3:53see the wars I see unhappiness I see
3:56depression I see pollution I see abuse I
4:00see uh all that and people think that is
4:03normal and we have to abide to those uh
4:07realities and I think no it's sick and
4:10what I'm going to do about it I'm I'm
4:13going to start looking searching inside
4:17because I I I think every uh mother in
4:20the world should be able to bring
4:22happiness strength and health to their
4:25children and keep it there so that's my
4:28mission to bring it and because nobody's
4:31listening to a person like me saying
4:33that from the roof we got love is the
4:37power and all that that's why I go
4:40through science but first I went into
4:44the
4:45cold and the cold I met because
4:48intuitively I felt hey the cold is able
4:52to bring down my thinking what is it
4:55about the nature of society when you
4:57look out on Society at the moment that
4:59makes you sad or concerned what is it
5:01about the way we live way we've built
5:04this thing called Society so a society
5:07is a very
5:08complex uh uh
5:12opportunistic
5:14uh way uh through time nobody is able to
5:18trace down where the problems are how it
5:21has been Arisen it's too complex too
5:24confused now and there I I I say hey
5:28okay this look at The Establishment is
5:31this perfect is this paradise Noh is
5:35nothing wrong with our knowledge
5:38understanding and intelligence but the
5:40way we use it we have to change our
5:43Consciousness and our Consciousness is
5:45our way to perceive perceive is what we
5:49see and what we are able to deal with
5:51and we cannot deal with the stress
5:54coming in our lives it consumes us it
5:58drains us and there we are and and look
6:02what we can do we can go to the Moon we
6:04can go to Mars we can build Bridges we
6:07can make create AI all those things but
6:10we cannot create happiness strength and
6:13health we got to reset so let's
6:16stop massively in the world and Elevate
6:21our Consciousness to being good to each
6:24other not to be competitive if I if I'm
6:28an individual listening to this and I
6:29follow your methods what can you promise
6:32me will be the outcome on my daytoday
6:35life a lot more energy that's number one
6:39two you will feel just
6:42aive what is the purpose of living it's
6:46life to love life as it is pure no
6:51thoughts no confusion it's not there
6:55just feel alive when you uh rise from
6:58the bed you feel
7:01okay this is a new
7:03day what I'm going to do I'm going to
7:06change the world today because I feel so
7:09good and even though I'm not fully on
7:12right now I know it's coming and I want
7:15it I want it so much and you know what
7:19it's called
7:21purpose and that purpose I'm I'm living
7:23it and that purpose is stronger than my
7:27thinking and this Society is not driven
7:30to fulfill each and everyone's purpose
7:34it's to uh have the the the society
7:38maintained the system maintained
7:40controlled by a a couple of people all
7:44the energy for what where is the
7:47happiness where is the strength where is
7:49the health every day when I live my
7:52purpose and and I want to change the
7:55world I want to bring love and power and
7:58I'm doing
8:00with mathematical Precision with the
8:04mission impossible things they I found
8:08which I tested in uh scientific uh
8:12comparative studies showing that
8:15suddenly we have so much more control
8:18instead of being controlled by the
8:20system oppressing our purpose Our Lives
8:24energy and to connect with that purpose
8:27it's like love when you feel love for
8:29your woman for your love your sex this
8:32this you you don't think that is that
8:35power and that power you should be able
8:38to live and to feel for life itself
8:42every day but we are blocked too much
8:46going into the cold brings you out of
8:49this thinking
8:50brain it brings you directly into the
8:53deepest part of the brain because you
8:56are doing it going into the called then
9:00it it needs to be switched on the
9:03deepest part of the brain survival part
9:05the brain stem and uh to battle the
9:08danger of the cold but it's there once
9:12it's there and you are doing it you are
9:14connecting is that pardon what you're
9:17saying that the way that we live our
9:18lives is a little bit too comfortable so
9:20we're not reaching those sort of deeper
9:22levels of our of our brain we're kind of
9:25and we are optimizing discomfort out of
9:27our lives in every chance we get
9:30you from every you know I got here today
9:32in a nice warm car I arrived in a nice
9:34warm building I had a nice warm shower
9:37oh very soon you will be in the ice bath
9:39with
9:43me it's it's going to be nice you know
9:46it's going to be nice but that that that
9:49the the difference is we choose if we go
9:52to the cult and the cold will not come
9:54to us we tackle the problem before it
9:57arises within us with the cult which is
10:00a very uh negative aggressive power
10:05inflicted upon our bodies it's an impact
10:09when you say if we go to the cold before
10:11the cold comes to us is that a metaphor
10:13for life are you yes okay you mean we go
10:16we put ourselves in discomfort and if we
10:18don't then our lives will be met with
10:20discomfort in other way yes and then we
10:21are not prepared yeah right and that
10:25and a lot of people are maybe okay with
10:28this in this system but uh so many more
10:32people are not okay with this and for
10:35those we stand up we who have the wealth
10:38of being and feeling okay great that's
10:43wealth we should be able to stand up for
10:46those who cannot whim when did this
10:48start when did this start for you
10:50because a lot of people that I meet on
10:52this show you know their early Journeys
10:54or the sort of pivotal moments in their
10:55lives can be traced back to maybe when
10:57they were 12 or 13 but your journey
11:00starts even earlier the first Domino
11:02that fell seems to fall when your mother
11:04was giving birth to you oh yes
11:07subconsciously it started at my birth my
11:10mother told me I'm one of the twins
11:13unexpected back then we had no Echo
11:16graphics and all these tools so they
11:20didn't know that there was another twin
11:21baby there exactly and so I was almost
11:24uh born too late they discovered me
11:28almost too late
11:29and uh so I came out while they were
11:33pushing uh the bat with my mother to the
11:36operation room in the in in the hallway
11:40like purple because almost suffocated
11:43coming out in the cold of the hall very
11:47traumatized it started over there it
11:49started with a trauma and I let me tell
11:52you I was I became a Seeker because of
11:55that trauma people become Seekers if
11:58they have deep trauma
12:00they always will seek uh compensation
12:04always try to seek relief in one way or
12:08in another not directly to the trauma
12:11but indirectly bypassing and they don't
12:15know it influences directly deeply your
12:19behavior in life just want to make sure
12:22I'm super clear on this your mother had
12:25two identical twin boys and the doctor's
12:28own only knew that one baby was there so
12:31when they finished delivering um your
12:34brother your identical twin brother they
12:38were moving on with the procedure and
12:39then at the last minute while they were
12:41in the hallway they discovered there was
12:42another baby in there and that other
12:45baby yourself was at risk and from that
12:47whole sort of traumatic experience you
12:49feel that that sort of embodied a trauma
12:50which you've which turned you into a
12:52Seeker looking for answers on the
12:54universe rejecting the conventional
12:56thinking and that takes us all the way
12:58through this sort of um very curious
13:00childhood up to the point you describe
13:01at 17 years old where you're stood in
13:03Amsterdam by a very very cold lake and
13:06you feel cold to jump into that Lake yes
13:10yes uh cold and C there are no words to
13:14describe it because you are led by
13:16intuition you are led by a way the the
13:20body is able to solve whatever is inside
13:24because you cannot relate by thinking
13:26what is going on because I was a baby
13:29back then but it always blocked me it
13:32made me a seeker and uh at that moment
13:35when I went in I just follow to
13:38intuition it's a feeling and there I
13:42felt this is it this is it what I've
13:46always been trying to find as a Seeker
13:49my intuition had led me to ER uh go into
13:53that water to meet my trauma and that is
13:58activating a
13:59innate capacity of ours to deal and to
14:03process whatever is going on in the
14:06deepest of the brain in the deepest
14:08thought up uh tissue where is trauma uh
14:13present which we haven't learned how to
14:17access that first time you got in the
14:19cold
14:21water yeah did you react like I react
14:24when I get in the cold water now did you
14:25were you h no absolutely not I was
14:29surprising and you will go with me later
14:32and you will not go the way you just
14:34expressed okay we will go like you will
14:37smile beautifully like you do right now
14:40yeah and go with me in there is a moment
14:44that you will feel a little bit
14:46of but I'm there we are there you're my
14:50brother you you I'm your uncle I'm your
14:52family I want you to feel good I I want
14:55you I I I I'm here to make you strong
14:58strong strong it it it means to stay in
15:02the eye of the hurricane when it is when
15:05the stress is most when you first got
15:08into the cold water you said it seemed
15:10to answer a lot of your spiritual
15:12questions yeah oh yeah all what what
15:15spiritual questions did getting in the
15:16Cold War to that first time answer all
15:18what all what has been propagated by all
15:20the religions all the Asic disciplines
15:23and doctrines that Nirvana and
15:27Enlightenment key
15:29pra uh whatever they call it uh in name
15:34uh that that is just our
15:37mind let's feel strong let's be strong
15:40let's be healthy let's be happy just
15:44unconditionally that's what I felt at
15:47that moment this is it and it was not
15:51words that came to me it was a pure
15:55opening of my feeling being un corrupted
15:59by
16:01thinking for many many years you lived
16:04as a squatter was it from 17 to sort of
16:0720 sort of mid 20s that you lived as a
16:10squatter 0s you were you best time of my
16:13life having no money whatsoever I was in
16:17society living outside of society
16:19outside I had no money I lived off the
16:23scraps of the uh the
16:25marketplace and I loved it was a party
16:28time was Feast every day with all these
16:32other people who are free thinkers do
16:36don't think a time have a have a
16:39sabatical a a a sabatical of this way
16:43the system maintains itself through
16:46Paradigm through a certain way of
16:48thinking if you just leave it at time
16:52you start to think uh thoughts and
16:55emotions are able to emerge without
16:59without this helmet on this heavy helmet
17:03which is interrupting your flow your
17:06being your expression and then you you
17:09cannot trust that expression you are
17:12lost you're getting lost of who who you
17:14are there I was able to
17:18freethink without even thinking about it
17:21I played the guitar and the
17:23hallways
17:25uh I did yoga all these postes in the in
17:30the courtyards
17:31naked
17:33and in the winter time I became so
17:37strong if you only let the life force
17:40Express itself you become so strong what
17:43is the life force for anybody that
17:44doesn't know anybody has it yeah like
17:47here and right now if I like I was
17:51talking be before we entered into this
17:53podcast 76 years old this man was and he
17:58was suffering uffing from Li limes
18:00disease and he wanted to climb to
18:02kilamanjaro in record time without
18:06having any experience in in climbing 76
18:09years old limes disease suffering with
18:12that condition doing a mountain which
18:15normally is done between five and nine
18:17days fully dressed because up there at
18:206,000 m is really cold and there is less
18:24than half the oxygen so the cold comes
18:27even harder in and there I saw life
18:30force uh his life force was so
18:34determined to climb with me an
18:37impossible physiologically impossible
18:40task because normally between 5 to n
18:43days he did it a 31 hours 76 years old
18:48what what else is that than a life force
18:52you never expected it to be just to take
18:56on the challenge he had a deeper feeling
18:59within himself I don't know what I got
19:01to do but this guy is saying he wants to
19:04climb to Kilimanjaro past the
19:06physiological limits according to
19:08science and it I feel I feel something
19:12that is your life force talking to you
19:15which wants to free itself he was
19:18suffering from limes disease he was in a
19:21system always abiding to everything and
19:23suddenly with an autoimmune disorder he
19:26could not control at all
19:29and and there he was so he he felt the
19:32same thing as I felt when I was 17 going
19:35into the CT he came with me and he
19:39climbed to kilaru in 31 hours not 5 to n
19:43days 31 hours
19:47so that is the life force our life force
19:50is capable of so much more than we are
19:54used to why don't we know that why don't
19:57we believe that why don't we live our
19:59lives with the you know the the opinion
20:03that we can climb the mountain sure
20:05because we are let to believe we have to
20:08serve into systems that are not
20:11necessarily serving our
20:13soul and they so massively
20:16psychologically overwhelming the system
20:19the schooling system Etc it's so
20:23overwhelming that we have no way to
20:25escape from this narrowing Consciousness
20:28where we got in we think careers make us
20:31happy cars make us happy money makes us
20:34happy Fame and name and all makes us
20:37happy I was the happiest guy when I was
20:40in the squat having nothing you were you
20:43were effectively homeless living just
20:45outside yeah yeah yeah a squat is a
20:48place where you have a uh you have
20:51electricity and that's it and you got to
20:55pay for the the heater so you had to
20:58find find ways to uh uh pay say um what
21:02is it £70 a month and you were living
21:05with lots of people in yeah when when
21:07you were squatting yeah wow was an
21:09amazing I mean we don't need so much but
21:12it has been propagated that we need a
21:15house everybody needs a
21:17mortgage and you got to serve that
21:20mortgage you got to go to 9 to5 and we
21:24become slaves and slaves of a system
21:27that is
21:29in the end creating quite some stress
21:32and we are only able to survive not to
21:35express ourselves creatively as who we
21:38are and what we are for real what's a
21:40realistic alternative whim I lived in
21:43that Society first I lived outside
21:46through living in a squat that was
21:48enough for me to have my own identity
21:52connected in my thinking my mind and uh
21:55then I went into society it was a
21:57horrible time time because suddenly I
22:00had to live in a flat with the kids and
22:03my wife deteriorated mentally and she
22:08took her own life in 95 and she jumped
22:12from eight stories down that that that
22:15was
22:16the the life I was in and the and
22:19Society just go keeps on going like a
22:21train it it has no emotion it has no
22:25feeling wh on that you're 22 years old
22:30you're you fall in love yes with a woman
22:33you describe as the love of your life oh
22:35that's her yes o oh look at
22:39this oh yeah
22:41sweetheart amazing Soul very expressive
22:45very talkative to everybody very open
22:49and uh and then into the shadows of her
22:52own mind and dysfunctioning of brain
22:55functioning and uh that led to uh her
22:59depression and then becoming Manic and
23:01then
23:02schizophrenia then uh worse got worse
23:06and worse and worse we were 15 years
23:09together you met her in that squat house
23:11in the squat house yes yeah amazing yeah
23:17so innocent all very innocent and uh uh
23:22I called her a butterfly Mariposa in
23:25Spanish and uh butterfly because she was
23:29everywhere a very light
23:33being did I fell in love or Rose in love
23:37I think the last
23:39one only the the way her mind got
23:45Disturbed through this yeah is it
23:48Society is it the pressure is it a
23:50career is it what is it a demand because
23:54this was a light a being of light you
23:58you met her in that squatter house you
23:59had two children together yes in the
24:02squat and perfectly okay and great and
24:06great we yeah beautiful the those
24:09children are right now working with me
24:11we got an international worldwide
24:13company yeah when did you realize that
24:17her mental health was
24:22deteriorating yeah probably too late uh
24:26uh uh it was a a a a decreasing kind of
24:31uh uh process in her where she was
24:34losing the control and uh uh I had no
24:39real means to take care of that she went
24:42back uh to uh pmon she was Spanish from
24:47origin and uh she was there with her
24:50family she would have been for months on
24:53end with her family and then come back
24:56and being mother for two days
24:59and then suddenly collapse and being bad
25:01and being very down again and uh yeah
25:07like a burden burdensome but we loved
25:10her of
25:12course we are trying to
25:15survive where and uh only after the uh
25:21the fourth child you wanted another CH
25:23but I said no you have to become better
25:26you have to become healthy and and she
25:29said to you you are a bastard that was
25:31one month before she took her own life
25:35see uh she kissed her I was working as a
25:40mountain guide in the Pines to get some
25:44money and I also loved it I love nature
25:47but then uh uh yeah she kissed her uh
25:51the kids could
25:53bu before uh jumping down or letting go
25:57from 8
25:59uh story she jumped off an eighth story
26:01building yes I mean it almost takes a
26:05lot of courage to do that too you must
26:07be very Des desperate if you do a thing
26:11like that and that is something un
26:13overcomable the part of me when I was 12
26:17the world is sick depressed the darkness
26:20the wars the pollution Etc all that I'm
26:23going to do something about it at that
26:25moment I could not I was not able to do
26:29anything so it it turned into a defeat
26:34it turned into being me hopeless it
26:37turned me into being depressed but I had
26:40no time to be depressed I had to take
26:43care of four
26:44children on your own on my own with
26:47almost no
26:49money so uh that's that's a actually
26:54where the cult came in not like a
26:57negative power power it the cold is
27:00stronger than your mind it than your
27:03thinking it makes you the depth of your
27:06brain at work and the depth of your
27:09brain is the place the pharmacy it's the
27:12pharmacy the Healer of our uh being
27:17which we disconnected from so much
27:20because we go we go for pills medicines
27:23or go to doctor if something happens to
27:25us we don't go to ourselves I can't
27:28imagine the pain I can't imagine the
27:31pain of you know having the love of my
27:34life um a deteriorate um have four kids
27:37with me but then take her own
27:41life
27:42grief oh yes the grief had no space yes
27:49the agonizing thinking all day long has
27:53its way to uh to burden a person a me
27:58and uh uh uh yeah the only way to break
28:02that was going into uh icy
28:05water uh that was yeah I mean at that
28:10moment you're just
28:11surviving and that gives you a little
28:14little opening of this agonizing
28:18thinking this it's painful it's a a and
28:22at that moment you are so overwhelmed by
28:26all that that you
28:28now I can talk about it but back then I
28:31was in the middle of it do you remember
28:33where you were where you were when you
28:34got that phone
28:36call yes
28:38uh exactly and U I was doing groups of
28:43people uh in the in the mountains so
28:46back then you had these phone booths
28:49yeah in on the camping on the camping
28:52where we uh slept and uh with the group
28:56and uh there I got uh this phone call uh
29:01the of her brother calling me and uh
29:05yeah so it is uh not only shocking you
29:09don't know what to
29:11say you cannot even
29:14cry the grief comes later the thinking
29:17about it the being able to contemplate
29:20about it and have feelings about it
29:22comes only later I cried when I was with
29:28her
29:29father with with her father over her
29:32dead body then we cried together that
29:36then you can relate You Can Let Go it
29:39happens you're not thinking about it it
29:41happens so that's the way
29:44it evolves and then but in the back of
29:48my head was was of course my four
29:51children it took a burden on us it took
29:54a burden on an
29:56inexplicable burden
29:58it changed us it traumatized Us in the
30:02depth and that made us uh separate at a
30:07certain
30:09moment later on in life now we are all
30:13together and it's amazing the chemistry
30:16is better than ever before and uh she
30:20her the mother she is like in a an angel
30:24now she's looking over our shoulders and
30:26we talk about it we say she yeah she
30:30that it is going so well with us is
30:33because she is that back she she is with
30:36us we feel it when you had that
30:39conversation with your four children
30:41that their mother was gone they were
30:44between seven and 12 years old yes how
30:47how do how do you have a conversation
30:49with a seven-year-old or or a 12year old
30:52about their mother not being here
30:55anymore exactly that that way I said she
30:59is she is
31:01gone her body is gone she she I didn't
31:04say she was
31:06dead she is not no longer with us that's
31:10what I
31:11said and they got it we are here we are
31:14together we're going to we're going to
31:17find life with us mommy is gone yet also
31:23she is
31:26here and
31:28worked it worked I mean we went on did
31:32they ask
31:38questions of course of course many
31:41questions but uh the end uh the the the
31:47questions uh were not as strong as our
31:51being
31:52during in life being together uh it's
31:58there where I found the cold to give me
32:02all the energy to create a good
32:05atmosphere to at home the nest
32:08warmth
32:10playfulness being there light not
32:14heavy what is that first step to because
32:17there's so many people that are going
32:18through different forms of grief or they
32:20have that trauma that you've describe
32:22that goes back a long way if they're
32:24listening to this now and they've
32:25stumbled this far into the conversation
32:26and they're thinking I'm so far away
32:29from that whim I'm So Far Away I've got
32:31my shirt and tie on I've got I'm in the
32:34city I I know I'm unhappy I can feel it
32:36in my bones but I know no other way what
32:37is the first step absolutely the
32:41breathing
32:42exercises these breathing exercises in
32:452014 were capable to show just like
32:51scientifically uh hormonally uh looking
32:55at the nervous system the depth
32:58uh which we entered with these breathing
33:01exercises in this comparative study
33:04showed that we were able to tap into the
33:07autonomic nervous system and innate
33:09immune system which was considered to be
33:12impossible in signs and now it is there
33:16it's not only the autonomic nervous
33:18system and the innate immune system it's
33:21also the ability naturally to solve what
33:26is deeply
33:28stored up in our tissue which could not
33:32be processed in the moment when it
33:34happened trauma whim I've got some of
33:36those studies in front of me I read
33:38through all of them um ahead of our
33:40conversation and they are quite frankly
33:42um remarkable they're quite frankly
33:45remarkable they are uh peer-reviewed
33:48studies that have been published um went
33:50through very sort of scientifically
33:52rigorous processes to make sure that
33:54they were valid and in these studies we
33:56see breakthroughs that I think the past
33:58people thought were impossible but if we
34:00just focus in then on that breathing
34:01because you you described that as the
34:03first step if I have never breathed in
34:05my life I've never done it I've never
34:08heard about it I'm a I'm skeptical to it
34:10I think breathing is just something we
34:13don't think about
34:18um what do you mean by breathing and
34:22what kind of breathing and can you
34:23explain to me like I'm an idiot what
34:26it's doing
34:31yeah what it is doing for example I'm uh
34:34now busy with cardiologists and they saw
34:37in heart films that if you stop
34:39breathing after exhalation for one and a
34:41half minute five times more blood flows
34:44into the brain and to the heart this
34:46what has never been shown and now it has
34:49been shown through these breathing
34:51techniques I mean this really goes so
34:55deep we are able to make uh these uh
34:59through these breathing techniques uh
35:02change our blood's chemistry uh bring up
35:07the pH levels way up by which the
35:11breathing trigger is not happening
35:14because it's depending on the CO2 level
35:16in our blood if we breathe
35:28like 30 times like this you become a
35:29little bit woie a little bit dizzy why
35:33because the CO2 levels go way
35:36down you blow it off carbon dioxide have
35:40we forgotten how to to breathe like that
35:41is that is oh yes is that the natural
35:43way of breathing no not exactly okay
35:46what what what is exactly is that we uh
35:50have forgotten to feel Deep
35:54Emotions uh to be uh in connection with
35:58danger danger is a deep
36:03emotion or the
36:06cold it's it's deep we avoid these
36:10emotions but they are we are built to
36:13receive it to express it and uh with
36:18that comes alive the deeper mechanisms
36:22in our body and be if that longterm is
36:26not exercise
36:28those deeper mechanisms and among that
36:31is not only the emotion it's also the
36:33immune system it becomes weaker we
36:36become more
36:37flid we become insensitive look at the
36:40insensitivity in our society Gaza is
36:44happening yeah protest is we should stop
36:48that [ __ ] we should stop those Wars cuz
36:51kids little kids are here jeopardized
36:55and we cannot even feel it anymore you
36:58know that this insensitivity in US is a
37:02is a plague is a plague because we serve
37:04a system that runs well on people being
37:08obedient and being flaccid not really
37:11sensitive because if you are really
37:13sensitive you don't go to a to a slave
37:16job every every day and come back
37:20stressed and the other day you do it
37:22again and again again again what we
37:25should do within our eles is learning
37:28how to connect into the depth and this
37:31is what I give through the C we bring
37:34these deeper emotions alive and then you
37:38will not abide to that what makes you
37:41weak to that what kills your purpose we
37:46got to stand up as humanity and more
37:49more now than ever and here we are and
37:52uh whim how do you do that very simple
37:56do this breathing techniques do it on
38:00your
38:02bed on a sofa or very controlled because
38:05you will go past your conditioned mind
38:08and body the the shallow breathing we do
38:12we say that is breathing that's not
38:14breathing that is automatic reflex of
38:18your body doing
38:20something and there it is now you take
38:23over consciously you start to breathe
38:26deeper you go past these
38:29patterns depicted by a conditioned body
38:33and that conditioning is only serving
38:35the system but not necessarily you I
38:38want you to take over the steer wheel I
38:40want you to be conscious and then go
38:44with that conscious into deeper
38:46breathing break the patterns of your
38:48conditioning and suddenly uh your uh
38:52deeper traumas your deeper feelings are
38:55able to come to the surface is being
38:58stored up being stashed away forever and
39:03and that is what is happening in the
39:06first session we
39:09do I I can promise any any person uh who
39:14is doing it will encounter a such a
39:18tremendous experience of himself from
39:22the depth coming to the surface and
39:25that's only the depth coming to the
39:27servant that's all and it's beautiful
39:30I'm so intrigued as to as to how that
39:32happens so CU I've had lots of friends
39:34that
39:35are very um focused on breathing using
39:39your techniques obviously I told you
39:40before we started recording my partner
39:41runs a breath work studio called barley
39:43breath work where she has committed her
39:45life to using the breath to heal people
39:48but I I'd like someone to explain to me
39:50you know how if I take hold of the
39:52steering wheel and I go past those sort
39:54of unconscious breathing um
39:57patterns why does that unlock trauma
40:00because when I go to my when I um have
40:02been to my partner's breath work
40:04sessions when they end people are
40:06talking about very deep forms of trauma
40:08that they've suddenly encountered and
40:10I'm wondering how is the breath doing
40:12that how is the breath unlocking that
40:14stuff what is where is it hidden you
40:16know I don't understand the breaths
40:17connection to our trauma so traumas are
40:21a stored Up chemistry it's unprocessed
40:26it's when a experience happens and you
40:28cannot deal with it you can't process it
40:30you don't understand it's being stashed
40:32away and it becomes biochemical stored
40:35up
40:37uh stored up capacity of the body is
40:40simply there in our deeper tissue but
40:43our conditioned mind and body is not
40:46able to get into that depth just by
40:49thinking yes but that we are thinking
40:52too much and uh we know something is
40:55wrong inside but we cannot connect with
40:58that now if we change the patterns we
41:02normally go into with our breathing and
41:05thinking which goes paed which controls
41:08our
41:09heart it's conditioning H if we are into
41:13that conditioning and we start simply
41:16and that makes it so beautiful that it
41:18is so simple and uh H how it uh uh then
41:24uh suddenly is able to get into this Tau
41:28to regulate our mood in the depth is by
41:33a cab cannaboid receptors the last study
41:37we did is a landmark study Landmark
41:41study done by Professor DBU divar in
41:45Detroit and it shows that the
41:47cannabinoid
41:49receptors are a part of the Salient
41:52Network the Salient network is that what
41:55makes all the networks in the brain work
41:59together and uh with that we get a hold
42:02of H areas we normally don't have
42:06connection to so what the breathing does
42:11in the depth is activating the
42:14connectors in the body called
42:16cannabinoid receptors by which uh deeper
42:21uh realities of our uh physiology uh
42:25open up and that is a natural thing to
42:30happen when we are in peace no longer in
42:33the trauma in the accident no now we are
42:36in peace now we should be able to work
42:39out what has been stored up that is a
42:42natural capacity of ours to do that but
42:45we have never learned in our society in
42:48our schooling how to do it and not even
42:52in Psychiatry they give you pills and
42:55they give you medicines that's makes a
42:58lot of money but it doesn't solve the
43:00problem people become catatonic people
43:03become my wife too after treatment in
43:06Psychiatry the first wife she became her
43:09eyes like like a zombie yeah a zombie
43:14this is a blasphemy this is scandalous
43:17in Psychiatry that they keep on doing
43:19that now I get a lot of
43:21psychiatrists uh a cognitive
43:24psychologists about cognitive therapist
43:27and they say when the cognitive
43:29therapies have no solution anymore we do
43:32breathing and it it just brings solution
43:36so it is simple so effective but it
43:40doesn't make
43:43money it it makes people
43:47understand I feel so much better how is
43:50that
43:51possible and that that's simply that how
43:55it works
43:57we just did The Landmark study with the
44:01compelling findings that we actually
44:04found
44:06interception interceptive Focus suddenly
44:10being able to regulate our mood emotion
44:14much better so we are able to listen if
44:18we listen to our body and we feel bad we
44:20can change that we uh we found now the
44:23key how to do that first of all you do
44:26the breathing
44:28called of course called training not too
44:31much never too much just
44:35relax we are very capable to even take
44:39like Patrice Eva who was completely
44:44hating it because of his when he was
44:48young he got it as a punishment you have
44:50to take it nice and good and open up to
44:54the Natural capacity to take it on he
44:56will was the best absolute best taken on
45:00icy water for 16 minutes he was in and
45:04he wanted to stay there in and BBC was
45:09like oh no this is too dangerous please
45:12come out yeah yeah you have no you have
45:14to come out patri okay okay and he was
45:17just walking out and you know what I
45:19felt his skin he was not even called so
45:23just for context is that power that's
45:25that power it's so simple for people
45:28that don't know Patrice is a good friend
45:30of mine Patrice ever he's been on this
45:31podcast before and um he he told me that
45:34whims techniques had really changed his
45:36life especially his relationship with
45:38cold water he was like me he told
45:40himself that because of his I don't know
45:42his race where he came from his DNA he
45:45wasn't able to spend time in cold water
45:47but I think what he discovered through
45:49whim was that that was actually a trauma
45:51because when he was younger his father
45:53used cold water as a punishment so he
45:55had this trauma with cold water and
45:56after doing your uh program and spending
45:58time with you he was the very very best
46:01at staying in cold water and when I was
46:02with him recently was amazing he he
46:05jumped in that cold water without
46:06flinching you know and he told me that
46:08throughout his entire Manchester United
46:10playing career he was always the one
46:12that never got into the um the the cold
46:15recovery plunge pools at Manchester
46:16United after the game he always avoided
46:18it and he just wishes he wishes that he
46:21knew what he knows now about the power
46:22of cold water because then he would have
46:24been able to recover better as a as a
46:26player that's that's what he told me I
46:27have the I have the study here in front
46:29of me that you described there I think
46:30it's the um the Michigan brain over body
46:32study that was the first study and then
46:35came a second
46:36study uh the first study I was compared
46:39to
46:4074 test subjects per people and they
46:44were all going into the uh having a a
46:49profusion vest what is been used in when
46:54firefighters go into the work they have
46:56a cold water going through a perfusion
47:01vest full of tubes so it's a vest where
47:04they pump cold water yes okay so they
47:06are able to endure the heat of the fire
47:09better okay to fight the fire so they
47:12took that into uh body scans fmri scans
47:18and uh pump cold water into these vests
47:22while the people were
47:24Motionless In These
47:27FM and so every time when the cold water
47:31was pumped in uh the body's uh uh skin
47:36temperature would go
47:38down and uh and then warmed up
47:42again a skin temperature going up and
47:45that correlates in the brain with
47:49stress and uh uh uh and those stress
47:53mechanisms then when the cold is being
47:55pumped in is very clearly seen on the
47:59monitor of these people who connected
48:01the people with
48:03electrodes you could see it on the
48:05monitor the way the brain was being
48:07activated oh these are the stress
48:09mechanisms and now is the warmth oh now
48:12is the uh the areas of well-being of the
48:16brain H activated insula and the and the
48:20and the per aqueductal
48:23gray whatever the names I I call it a
48:26the the positive and the negative
48:28registration of uh of stress and or
48:33well-being yeah those parts and they
48:35nobody could change that what if we
48:41could make the feeling well part of the
48:45brain at work when the stress comes in
48:48so what if we could feel choose to feel
48:50good when stress comes ah this was never
48:54been shown in psychiatry
48:57so they had this
48:59experimental uh
49:01module there and then uh nobody could
49:04make a different brain scan possible
49:08when stress comes in through the cold
49:10being pumped in to the skin then stress
49:14part of the brain is activated nobody
49:18could make that not go uh activated not
49:23go
49:24away and I could I didn't feel the cult
49:28when it came in because I warmed up my
49:31body willfully nobody believed that was
49:34possible um until until you did it I
49:37want to just recount that the first
49:39study which was done and published in
49:412018 it was carried out at Wayne State
49:44University in Michigan and scientists
49:45looked at the way that the body and the
49:46Brain reacted to changes in temperature
49:49whenever anyone feels the cold um they
49:51typically have a auto automatic bodily
49:54response um but also you can see that
49:56that response in the brain the narrowing
49:58of blood vessels to protect organs uh
50:00increased energy and and pain signals so
50:03to test whether you could control that
50:06um those responses to the cold
50:08scientists created a full body suit in
50:10which they would pump cold or warm water
50:12into your into your body on normal test
50:15subjects their skin temperature would
50:17rise and fall with the change in water
50:18temperature which is what you'd expect
50:21when whim underwent the experiment
50:23without his breathing techniques his
50:25skin temperature changes were very
50:27similar to the normal people however
50:29when he used the breathing and
50:31meditation techniques he kept a
50:33sustained skin temperature of 34° over
50:3825 minutes which was never thought to be
50:41humanly possible when he was put in a
50:44pet scan to see what was happening
50:46inside his body scientists saw that the
50:48intercostal muscles which is the muscles
50:50between your ribs were burning a lot of
50:52glucose and releasing heat into your
50:54body which was keeping your body warm
50:56when looking at whims brain scientists
50:58saw that it didn't have the same
50:59unconscious reaction to the cold as
51:02normal people's brains did his breathing
51:05technique engaged the sympathetic
51:07nervous system releasing adrenaline and
51:08triggered the area of the brain stem
51:11which is that um area you describing
51:12before aqueductal gry hemisphere that
51:15perceives pain the triggering of the
51:17brain stem released cannaboids and
51:20opioids and these chemicals gave a sense
51:23of well-being and reduced anxiety and
51:26this study showed that whim had control
51:27over the autonomous nervous um
51:29autonomous systems of the brain and the
51:31brain's automatic responses to the cold
51:34the results of this study have been uh
51:36tremendous and they have proven the
51:38massive potential implications for the
51:40IM immune system disorders like diabetes
51:42Ms and arthritis in Psychiatry so it the
51:45TDR of that is the study really proved
51:47that the stress we encounter throughout
51:51our lives we do have control over it we
51:53have control over the impact it has on
51:55our physiological
51:57systems but also you know our brain and
51:59how we experience it because you were
52:01able to not experience cold yes the pain
52:03of cold the stress of c and it was not
52:05about the cold it was about how to deal
52:09with stress stress can come in many ways
52:12emotionally physically spiritually it
52:16can come in many ways in the end it is
52:18biochemical stress it it turns into
52:21biochemistry neurotoxins Etc it
52:24accumulates it gets in the body
52:27creates blockages it it drains and you
52:30don't know what to do with it and and
52:32then medicines come in and pills and it
52:35only deteriorates it it gets worse and
52:39and that besides of the side effects
52:41thing is I used the cult back when I was
52:47with my wife who died to get my
52:51emotional Agony out of the
52:55way and uh it was the doorway to open up
52:59my healing my spiritual healing of me as
53:03a puppy of my children just to be happy
53:07with them and to provide energy and
53:11well-being without this
53:13traumatizing Darkness around us so I
53:18found it through the cult yet it is not
53:21about the cold it's about that I
53:24regained Mastery over my to bring back
53:28my emotion
53:29uninterrupted cuz we should be able to
53:32guide our emotional state of being
53:35anytime when we feel bad naturally
53:38naturally and that that that is what
53:41this shows and now upon this study they
53:45did another study and then they saw even
53:48without me now people can do
53:51this and that's what I wanted that is
53:55the study Landmark study being done last
54:00January published so that's TW 24 and uh
54:05six years past the covid and all H and
54:09now they see compelling evidence to keep
54:13on and to make these studies much bigger
54:16because their potential is that we found
54:20to key called intercep
54:24interception to be so strong
54:27that we are able to control our
54:31emotional
54:32well-being throughout whatever stress
54:36there is but it's not just our emotional
54:38well-being it's also our immune system
54:40of course that goes also with it I isn't
54:44a a healthy person a happy person kind
54:46of you know isn't it
54:49interrelated I want to just highlight
54:51this because this for me when I heard
54:52this many years ago I thought this was
54:54uh I thought this couldn't possibly be
54:56true
54:56but in
54:582010 um when you were 51 years old you
55:00took part in a study at Rand bound
55:02University Medical Center in the
55:03Netherlands where you were injected with
55:06a a bacterial toxin a dead straight of
55:10ecoli in previous studies of a 100
55:13healthy people they responded to that
55:15injection with a flu like response which
55:17is what you'd expect you'd get the flu
55:19if you were injected with that however
55:21when when you were injected with that uh
55:25bacterial toxin
55:27uh you had no negative immune response
55:29apart from a minor
55:32headache your but blood results also
55:34showed the release of cortisol
55:36adrenaline and the messenger messenger
55:38chemical il10 which is an
55:40anti-inflammatory pro protein all of
55:43which helped you to fight off that
55:46bacteria uh however to prove that this
55:49wasn't just you being some superhuman
55:51scientists gathered 30 male volunteers
55:5512 were put into a control Group which
55:56meant that they were just normal and 18
55:58were trained by you uh you took 18 of
56:02them to Poland for 4 days to train them
56:04on meditation cold exposure annual
56:06breathing techniques and when they were
56:08injected with the um bacterial toxin uh
56:11the dead strain of ecoli the trained
56:14group had a significantly less immune
56:17response recovered quicker and their
56:18bodily responses were similar to your
56:21own this was a major scientific
56:23breakthrough and it showed people could
56:25voluntarily control
56:26their automatic nervous system and
56:28immune
56:29response which was previously thought to
56:31be impossible and that's the viewer the
56:34viewer is looking at this now that's you
56:38and and that's where we want to reach
56:41out to you have the uh uh absolute
56:44capacity to rule so much better within
56:48your own body and I'm I'm I'm doing the
56:51science I'm following the science and I
56:53think it's scandalous of the scientific
56:56Community not to have Dove upon this why
57:01don't we is it because it's difficult no
57:03it's not difficult it's not now like I
57:07don't know over the 100 million people
57:09are doing this but through the
57:12scientific World which is uh also in the
57:15beginning of this conversation it's
57:18corrupted they get funding from the
57:20pharmaceutical industry and that's all
57:22good Etc I'm not messing with them uh
57:25but natural ways that could equalize the
57:30results of medicines without side
57:33effects should at least have a thorough
57:37examination by the scientific uh Elite
57:41world can I just I want to make sure I'm
57:43super clear on what's going on here and
57:46what to achieve these phenomenal results
57:49um by by having a sort of doing some of
57:52these techniques that help us to unlock
57:56the the stress and the trauma that's
57:58deep in our body and that enable us to
58:03create a better response with
58:05stress we're able to guard off the
58:07stress which means we're able to protect
58:09our well-being which m means that we're
58:11able to fend off disease because we all
58:13know that when we're highly stressed our
58:15immune system Falls and we get sick I
58:17know in my own life whenever I'm really
58:18stressed is the only time that I'll ever
58:20get a cold or or anything like that is
58:22that is that the simple way of
58:24describing what's going on here yeah yes
58:27yes we have this innate capacity to
58:30heighten our buffer zone uh toward uh
58:34stress by which stress is not able to do
58:37its damage and is part of the problem
58:40with the modern way of living that we've
58:43chosen
58:44medication as the answer too often and
58:47we've also made our lives as stress free
58:48as we possibly can absolutely absolutely
58:51there is no doubt about it and it is a
58:53dead end street by the way and the whole
58:56Health Care system is B burdened by the
59:00the finances and all it's it's going to
59:03collapse anyway if it keeps on going but
59:06because it is a money-making uh way uh
59:10that's why they will keep on going until
59:13it
59:14collapses I had professor friedr in Mar
59:18thebook on the line uh talking
59:22about he said to me whim the
59:27democracy the Democracy as we know it
59:30actually is uh at Peril in danger why
59:34because the people are becoming so
59:37weak and we the democracy is only uh
59:42composed by the strength of the people
59:45once we get all weaker and a a system
59:49which is corrupt just to uh make money a
59:54healthy economy on
59:56people that wants to stay that way makes
1:00:00the people weaker and weaker by which
1:00:03the Democracy will know its ant will
1:00:06collapse and I said hey that weakness in
1:00:11the Democracy in people I can make it go
1:00:15away in one
1:00:20week simply sense talking to this
1:00:23professor and he he agreed because he
1:00:26saw it he saw it in the people he knew
1:00:30it he he knew it from anecdotal evidence
1:00:33he knew it from his family taking up
1:00:35these crazy whm Hof techniques going
1:00:38into call Wim Hof whatever is a brand
1:00:41name I'm a simple guy I know what it is
1:00:44to have nothing at all to be a nobody
1:00:48and now I got a name and fame and all
1:00:51that I don't care it's okay if I got to
1:00:55stand up I will and I will say hey here
1:00:57I am whim Hof the Iceman and I will
1:01:00change the world how through making you
1:01:02better than who you think you could be
1:01:06and that is through the Wim Hof method
1:01:08and fasting is good
1:01:11too to deprive yourself in different
1:01:15ways hor matically that is
1:01:18self-inflicted acute stressful
1:01:20exercise but do it consciously if you
1:01:23don't go to the cult the cult will come
1:01:25to you you if you don't go to dist
1:01:27stress the stress will come to you cuz
1:01:29we are built to endure we are built we
1:01:32got these capacities so if we go into
1:01:35the cult you will see that there your
1:01:39whole body is able to handle stress so
1:01:43much better and when you know you are
1:01:46going into a stressful uh event of any
1:01:50kind you know willfully to connect
1:01:54yourself make your body from the inside
1:01:56so strong that the stress out there is
1:01:59no problem there's three elements to
1:02:01this whim Hoff method there's three
1:02:03pillars to the method the first is that
1:02:05conscious breathing so let's just make
1:02:07sure we've covered that off if I want to
1:02:09be able to just do this at home if I'm
1:02:11listening now and I'm in my car or I'm
1:02:13walking the dog or whatever I'm on a
1:02:14plane what is what is the sort of key
1:02:18parts of doing the breathing technique
1:02:20correctly yes do it safe yeah so never
1:02:25outside where you can lose control okay
1:02:29you know when you drive and you lose
1:02:30control that's no good when you are in a
1:02:33swimming pool you lose control h that's
1:02:35no good H when you are at an Abus and
1:02:38you lose control no good you know
1:02:40wherever your motoric uh uh uh Power is
1:02:45needed to be in control don't do it
1:02:49there therefore we say
1:02:51strictly this is a powerful medicinal
1:02:55therapeutic
1:02:56uh exercise through breathing specific
1:03:00breathing uh patterns we take on if for
1:03:04example we are sitting now yeah it's
1:03:06safe to do it here yeah even if you
1:03:09faint now then yeah you would maybe fall
1:03:12here on the ground is a soft uh uh
1:03:16carpet here there no problem okay
1:03:20so relax it's a this is also these
1:03:24moments when you okay relax I'm I'm now
1:03:28turning myself into myself because I'm
1:03:30going to breathe deeper I'm going to go
1:03:33past my normal uh control mode normal
1:03:36conditioning normal thinking so okay am
1:03:40I here yes I'm
1:03:43here okay here we go we have a belly we
1:03:48have a chest that those uh muscles are
1:03:51connected to the lungs so use your belly
1:03:54and use your uh
1:03:57chest to inhale
1:04:03fully you can go through your mouth
1:04:05through your nose as you feel how do I
1:04:07know if I'm doing it correctly with my
1:04:08belly yeah
1:04:20just so two breaths in yeah and at a
1:04:25certain moment becomes
1:04:37one keep on going fully in as deep as
1:04:41possible and Let It Go just Let It Go
1:04:45and then fully in
1:04:48again as deep as possible let it
1:04:52go all in
1:04:57and Let It
1:05:00Go and all
1:05:04in Let It Go the Mind goes with a breath
1:05:10fully
1:05:12in Let It
1:05:15Go and all
1:05:19in Let It
1:05:21Go we are blowing keep on going for in
1:05:26blowing of the CO2 carbon
1:05:29dioxide can become a little bit DIY but
1:05:33that's okay your body is charging up
1:05:36it's changing your blood chemistry is
1:05:43changing you may your pH levels go up in
1:05:48your blood we do 10 more fully
1:05:53in just follow the breath
1:05:57whatever feels different breathe into it
1:06:01Let It
1:06:03Go and all
1:06:06in Let it go this morning at 5:00 I was
1:06:10doing this because I Was preparing to be
1:06:14freed in my biochemistry of any [ __ ] and
1:06:18this is cleansing the biochemistry
1:06:21trauma anything anything that is deeply
1:06:23in is being CLE yeah five
1:06:27more Let It
1:06:29Go fully
1:06:32in Let It
1:06:34Go all
1:06:36in Let It Go all
1:06:41in Let it
1:06:43go last one hold
1:06:46in let it go and stop after the
1:06:51exhalation close your mouth no breathing
1:06:55no need your pH levels are way up
1:06:59there's no need for breathing what is
1:07:02going to happen is what I was saying
1:07:04mentioning
1:07:06before after one minute and there is no
1:07:09need for breathing because the breathing
1:07:11trigger depends on co2 CO2 is blown off
1:07:16you are biohacking your
1:07:20body you're going deep you're going past
1:07:24the condition
1:07:26mind and body you're going deeper in the
1:07:31tissue now you're entering into the
1:07:33deepest part of your
1:07:35brain it's going to shoot out adrenaline
1:07:40epinephrine the adrenal axis is now in
1:07:45activation now slowly but
1:07:48surely five times more blood will flow
1:07:51into your brain and your heart you feel
1:07:54peaceful
1:07:56you have it fully in control yet the
1:07:59deepest of your mechanisms and the
1:08:00deepest of your brain are at work right
1:08:03now and because you are doing it you are
1:08:05connecting with those
1:08:08mechanisms that's the way we learn to
1:08:11gain control over these mechanisms and
1:08:14you're still without breathing even
1:08:17normally you you you would die like yeah
1:08:20breathing breathing you're
1:08:23peaceful you're completely in control
1:08:26over your parasympathetic nervous system
1:08:29which is deep autonomic nervous system
1:08:32level and you are in control right now
1:08:36this is where trauma is starting to
1:08:40release five 4 3 2 1 now you take a full
1:08:46breath
1:08:47in hold it and press it to your head
1:08:52press it to your head press it to your
1:08:55head
1:08:56this is
1:08:57subliminal cerebral spinal fluid to your
1:09:01head it's flushing in and all brain 100%
1:09:05neural Activity 3 2 1 let it
1:09:11go
1:09:13good if we go into a next round you will
1:09:16be able to go say for two minutes
1:09:19without breathing then 2 and 1/2 minutes
1:09:21then 3
1:09:23minutes after exhalation
1:09:27it is it cannot be something else than a
1:09:30regaining a control deeper than ever
1:09:33before thought possible and this is what
1:09:36we have shown this is where the bacteria
1:09:38suddenly had no
1:09:39chance the virus has no chance why is it
1:09:44that the world doesn't know about this
1:09:47why is it that the scientific world is
1:09:50not examining this as a beneficial
1:09:53therapeutical power to battle all the
1:09:56diseases we got because aren't we built
1:10:00with an immune system that
1:10:02shoot Hal virus bacteria uh inflammation
1:10:07it is but it is never at way because
1:10:10this is deeper than our conditioned body
1:10:12and mind and this is the way to get a
1:10:16hold of that it feels so I feel very
1:10:19different in every in every sense of the
1:10:21word I feel when I came back into the
1:10:22room it all felt very it almost felt a
1:10:25little bit like I just woken up but it
1:10:28also I was a little you know it was a
1:10:29little bit of it was very peaceful
1:10:32peaceful and I was very um when I came
1:10:34back into the room I felt very focused
1:10:36nice I felt like I this is the last
1:10:38study I did with 540 people in Australia
1:10:42it shows uh that this uh um this uh
1:10:48method is compared to meditation and
1:10:52mindfulness Works a whole lot better how
1:10:55did you learn this where did you learn
1:10:57this by intuition you remember the
1:11:00mother who made me uh
1:11:03uh become a missionary become a seeker
1:11:07and then I found the cold water what
1:11:10does the cold water do first time you go
1:11:12into cold
1:11:13water you learn to breathe deep and that
1:11:17makes all the change at a certain moment
1:11:19I became aware that if I was breathing
1:11:22deeper slowly and deep slowly and deep I
1:11:26was able to endure the cold much longer
1:11:30that means that if we go into deeper
1:11:34breathing we are able to activate deeper
1:11:38mechanisms that are able to make us a
1:11:40lot stronger and that translates to life
1:11:44yeah translates to everyday life I want
1:11:46to get on to the cold water which is the
1:11:48sort of second pillar of the Wim Hof
1:11:50method but the third pillar I find
1:11:52really interesting as well which is the
1:11:55power of the Mind exactly what do you
1:11:58mean by this the power of the mind
1:12:00you're telling me that I can do things
1:12:01to my mind to make my mind stronger and
1:12:05more resilient oh yes oh yes what do you
1:12:09mean by the power of the Mind the first
1:12:10of all we just recently did this new
1:12:13study it's coming out now um it's into
1:12:17submitting and they did it with 540
1:12:20people so meditation and mindfulness is
1:12:24about the mind isn't it to bring anxiety
1:12:27down to bring stress down this method
1:12:31works better than mindfulness and
1:12:35meditation which is in the corporate
1:12:37world but also in the wellness industry
1:12:40uh overall and also therapeutically in
1:12:42the health Mental Health Care uh yeah
1:12:47systems uh being accept accepted and uh
1:12:52implemented and used as a therap
1:12:56therapeutical means so this works better
1:13:02uh the stress resilience goes way up
1:13:05stress experience goes way down and the
1:13:10cognitive awareness goes also way up is
1:13:14what you just said and uh this was only
1:13:17one round imagine if you do four rounds
1:13:21you will go so deep that's yeah
1:13:24unprecedent enter deep where you will go
1:13:27and things can come to the surface never
1:13:30been stashed away you never knew of or
1:13:33we're not aware of at all this is all
1:13:36blocking our
1:13:38awareness and now when it's getting out
1:13:41of the way then suddenly our awareness
1:13:44becomes bigger brighter nicer more flow
1:13:49more receptive more sharper clearer and
1:13:53all and uh that
1:13:55that is part of a system that suddenly
1:14:00is able to override our
1:14:03conditioning so our conditioning is a
1:14:07conditioning wherein deeper mechanisms
1:14:10are not really at work but we are able
1:14:13to function in this Society system Etc
1:14:16but not necessarily we are connected
1:14:19with the depth of our selves and when
1:14:23trauma happens or emotion start to be
1:14:26not nice we don't know what to do with
1:14:28that now the power of the mind is very
1:14:32simple through doing this you learn to
1:14:35override to create a different
1:14:38conditioned mind and body
1:14:41relationship and suddenly opens up a new
1:14:45terrain a new capacity in the brain to
1:14:48connect with and that is
1:14:50interoception interoception
1:14:52interoception interception and and with
1:14:55that we suddenly learn to
1:14:58control uh and to command our bodies a
1:15:01vessel of our emotions of our sensations
1:15:05of or whatever we experience that's our
1:15:08body but when it feels bad we don't know
1:15:11what to do and now we found a way to go
1:15:15past that conditioned State and we found
1:15:18a new way in the brain and get a hold of
1:15:21that which is there naturally to control
1:15:24control whatever is going wrong to
1:15:27re-regulate it to rebalance it to reset
1:15:31it to make our bad feelings emotions uh
1:15:35disease Etc make it go away in our
1:15:40Command that is the power of the mind
1:15:43which is a natural capacity of ours
1:15:47which should be revealed past uh the
1:15:50system way of thinking and be brought
1:15:54into SE secondary school or or even when
1:15:57kids are very young that they are able
1:16:00to depict their own happiness strength
1:16:03and health is part of the building up
1:16:06the power of the Mind
1:16:09becoming stepping into personal
1:16:11responsibility and stepping away from
1:16:13victimhood yes because victimhood is no
1:16:15longer needed
1:16:17responsibility is there where we have
1:16:20the ability to respond and this is these
1:16:24are the tools then suddenly we feel we
1:16:27got the stair wheel in our hand how do
1:16:29you train someone though to stop being a
1:16:31victim in their own life in one in one
1:16:33session how just do this breathing yeah

1:17:02concept of this dangerous cold power
1:17:07energy coming to No Control this anxiety
1:17:11is suddenly they got a halt complete
1:17:14halt over that and with that comes that
1:17:17Paradigm that always thought of that to
1:17:19be impossible to control Suddenly It's a
1:17:22piece of cake that that is then turning
1:17:26into a a a domino effect a Cascade of uh
1:17:31uh feelings of hey if I can do that I

1:22:32the world that I'm [ __ ] strong sorry
1:22:34for the
1:22:36French but I'm going to stay 60 Minutes
1:22:39in the in the icy water and I had happy
1:22:42times and 61 I did 61 minutes 62 I did
1:22:4762 minutes 63 I had 63 and when I became
1:22:5164 I thought that's boring no going to
1:22:55do this
1:22:56anymore yeah you your nature is on
1:23:00inside and that's the whole message and
1:23:03with that comes the a strengthened
1:23:06immune system a strengthened
1:23:08cardiovascular system cardiovascular
1:23:12related issues is killer number one in
1:23:15our
1:23:17society through this it's
1:23:20gone this the way to tackle it
1:23:23connection with the depth of the brain
1:23:25the deepest part of the brain and if you
1:23:28are able to go to the deepest part where
1:23:31else can you not
1:23:33go so if I did this once a day you think
1:23:35I'd be better equipped to deal with the
1:23:38stress of work and the stress of Life
1:23:41yeah of
1:23:43course man and you don't need to go this
1:23:46long
1:23:47into an eyes bath two three minutes is
1:23:51enough I we''ve been in six minutes it
1:23:54it doesn't feel cold anymore though I
1:23:57actually feel a bit warm funly enough my
1:23:58legs feel like they're warm but I don't
1:24:00know if that's just from my body
1:24:02shutting down or something
1:24:03yeah okay I think it now there time
1:24:07enough come louder you did it come
1:24:12on down
1:24:15amazing thank you so much it was so
1:24:17interesting the first um the first 20
1:24:19seconds of that process are so
1:24:22fascinating because I had to conf a lot
1:24:24of things I had to confront a lot of
1:24:27natural reactions that told me to stop
1:24:30to get out to you know my body went into
1:24:33like a phase of panic and it's funny
1:24:35because as I reflect on that feeling of
1:24:36like Panic it was like a wall and it was
1:24:40a wall that I had to make a decision
1:24:42about going through or going backwards
1:24:46and I say this because I think in a lot
1:24:48of Our Lives we're surrounded by these
1:24:51walls and it's in many of our Lives
1:24:53actually the walls kind of close in on
1:24:55us and what I learned in the first sort
1:24:57of 20 seconds of that process was that
1:24:59that wall was something I created myself
1:25:02it was a figment of my imagination and
1:25:04as I sat there for what five six
1:25:06minutes my body almost said to me it was
1:25:10like sorry I was lying I was lying to
1:25:12you something was lying because five six
1:25:15minutes in I'm completely fine yeah but
1:25:18in that first 20 seconds some Panic
1:25:20signal went off and told me to retreat
1:25:22and so I just find that so fascinating
1:25:24it's like there's something about
1:25:25breaking through a wall
1:25:27mhm that you once really believed was
1:25:30real that illuminates your mind to the
1:25:34what other kind of self-limiting beliefs
1:25:36you're currently constrained by in
1:25:39everyday life you know I could I
1:25:41couldn't say it better uh self-limiting
1:25:44uh belief uh beliefs coming in at a
1:25:48certain moment become blockages become
1:25:51patterns become condition and that
1:25:54conditioning uh withholds us from going
1:25:57through uh things when they come to our
1:26:00lives because they are too stressful
1:26:03they are uh uh mirroring that what we uh
1:26:07through our self- believing uh limiting
1:26:10uh way of thinking have created then we
1:26:12see it outside and we don't go in it we
1:26:15don't go through it anymore and thus we
1:26:18don't find uh uh these things in our
1:26:22lives anymore to uh
1:26:25as life's lessons it's no longer there
1:26:29and and there we limit ourselves and
1:26:31become narrowed so what we have found
1:26:35now through these uh practices that we
1:26:38are able to command our bodies so much
1:26:42better to go through the self-limiting
1:26:46self H disc conditioning because in most
1:26:49of the time it is uh that we get
1:26:52schooled that we have to follow rules
1:26:55ethics morals Etc at a certain moment we
1:26:59got a belief system that is not
1:27:01necessarily who we are in the depth and
1:27:05this is where this Society is
1:27:07suffering uh big time of having no
1:27:12connection with this invisible purpose
1:27:15of ours which is there but we it's
1:27:20behind the wall and simply through doing
1:27:24this you see you have the power to go
1:27:28through these walls you have the power
1:27:31to uh become exactly who you are and
1:27:34what you are that is what the C is
1:27:38showing it doesn't show what what you
1:27:41think it shows you who you are and what
1:27:43you are and from there you will see that
1:27:47the walls in your life of whatever
1:27:50invisibly what stalking you will
1:27:55disappear is this in part why it seems
1:27:58like a lot of people in society right
1:28:00now are choosing discomfort because you
1:28:02know we've got kind of gone one way as a
1:28:04society we've gone to comfort and then
1:28:05you've got this counter movement of
1:28:07people that are now doing Ma ultra
1:28:09marathon runs and they're cold plunging
1:28:12and they're they're doing things to put
1:28:14themselves in intentional discomfort it
1:28:16seems like it's for me it's I've
1:28:18observed it like a counter movement yes
1:28:22and it is and and it is but H the the
1:28:26thing is H now that we are showing in
1:28:29signs with the professor Vibe of divar
1:28:34mostly in Auto music uh that we found a
1:28:38key and the key is the innate capacity
1:28:41of ours to command our bodies much
1:28:44better in our emotions because in the
1:28:46end it's not about going into the
1:28:49extremes it's about handling our emotion
1:28:52and to feel that we are on top of it no
1:28:56matter what and that being able to pass
1:29:00on to our
1:29:02children the way
1:29:05reactionary it
1:29:07all we go into these extremes and all
1:29:11that is a that is a reaction of our uh
1:29:17massive Paradigm encountering too much
1:29:21comfort now hey let's go to that but
1:29:24that's reactionary human is it that we
1:29:28actually uh are here to uh learn to have
1:29:32a uh Hal absolute Hal over our emotion
1:29:37which is directly connected to our
1:29:40purpose because from the beginning or uh
1:29:44it the problem the conflict is the
1:29:47conflict with our soul and our soul is
1:29:51about when we realize our soul and the
1:29:54unlimited power of the of the Mind
1:29:57serving us to find realization of that
1:30:00soul and that is for every person unique
1:30:04what are the other things that are like
1:30:05Staples of your daily routine eat once a
1:30:09day you eat once a day yeah okay so you
1:30:13you wake so can you run me through a a
1:30:15perfect whm Hof day yeah in the morning

1:32:34pain I if I do exercises I I do it to
1:32:39the threshold of
1:32:41pain and then I overcome the
1:32:44pain then it's then it's okay that is
1:32:48body
1:32:49awareness that body awareness I want to
1:32:52know feel feel

1:33:32newspaper or look at the phone it's
1:33:35enjoying life I I could do that but I I
1:33:41really enjoy the feeling that I'm
1:33:43fasting
1:33:45inside a little that that I'm going
1:33:48against like the cold if you go to the
1:33:50cold then the cold doesn't come to you
1:33:53yeah when when the appetite comes I just
1:33:56DeLay So you fast for you're doing some
1:33:59sort of intermittent fasting there as
1:34:01they call it you're you're going yeah
1:34:02but I I I did this since I was a young
1:34:06kid again intuition yeah intuition it's
1:34:09just how you felt yes because the
1:34:10external narrative is you got to have
1:34:12three meals a day maybe four meals a day
1:34:13you've got to have breakfast you know
1:34:15lunch dinner no no no yeah that's just
1:34:18just made up it's made
1:34:20up uh you should feel like any any
1:34:23animal in the world is not eating when
1:34:27it doesn't need to eat because it
1:34:29doesn't think it only eats when it feels
1:34:33and when it feels that it needs to eat
1:34:37his eyes become bigger becoming more
1:34:39alert adrenaline starts to run they
1:34:43become sharper they then all the systems
1:34:46are at work that is the way it it
1:34:49automatically exercises its all of body
1:34:53that's how I I live my life and I've
1:34:55always thought I was a bit strange but
1:34:56we're now at 1 p.m. I haven't eaten
1:34:58anything today sometimes I get a little
1:34:59bit later into the day I mean yesterday
1:35:01this week it's been 5 6 p.m. I think
1:35:03yesterday was 700 p.m. my first meal and
1:35:06I I I'm okay I I don't know what the you
1:35:10know but I yeah you enjoy life you enjoy
1:35:14the energies I focus better I have
1:35:16better conversations yeah yeah all that
1:35:20if you fast a little
1:35:22bit long and then you become sharper and
1:35:26it's a nice feeling once upon a time if
1:35:29you had a business idea it was
1:35:31exceptionally difficult to get going but
1:35:33now in the age of Shopify it is
1:35:37exceptionally easy as many of you will
1:35:39know Shopify are a sponsor of this
1:35:41podcast if you don't know Shopify it's
1:35:43an exceptionally simple web platform for
1:35:45anybody that's got an idea that wants to
1:35:47transact on a global scale so things
1:35:50like these conversation cards which we
1:35:51sell we've sold using Shopify and it
1:35:54only took us a couple of clicks to get
1:35:57going so why did we choose Shopify for a
1:35:59number of reasons but I think one of the
1:36:00big ones which goes unappreciated is
1:36:02their checkout system converts 36%
1:36:05better compared to other platforms and
1:36:08here's what I'm going to do to remove
1:36:09the cost for you if you go to
1:36:11shopify.com Bartlet you'll be able to
1:36:14try Shopify for
1:36:15$1 a month I've seen Shopify completely
1:36:19change people's lives and for many of
1:36:21you I think it could change yours
1:36:24when you look at our society and the
1:36:26these sort of stories we've told
1:36:27ourselves about how we're supposed to
1:36:29live yeah what are the other s is there
1:36:31any anything else that's really
1:36:32fundamental that you think people should
1:36:33question you've talked to me about the
1:36:35breath you've talked to me about
1:36:36discomfort breathing is one of them
1:36:38you've talked to me there about fasting
1:36:39as well is there anything else that you
1:36:41know whether it's relationships or our
1:36:43work or our purpose that is just a lie
1:36:47in your opinion oh yes our energy is
1:36:50being drained it's like thieving and uh
1:36:54uh uh uh we should have all the energy
1:36:57to bring happiness strength and health
1:36:59to our kids and to feel bright bright
1:37:02and shiny in life but we don't because
1:37:06we have to do this do that take on
1:37:09stress and think about this think about
1:37:11that who did this whatever did this is
1:37:15is a massive Paradigm going on
1:37:18taking our en energetic bodies and with
1:37:23that our our emotions and with that our
1:37:25life force and and there it is the real
1:37:29philosophy serves that Paradigm where
1:37:32one becomes happy strong and healthy and
1:37:34is able to pass it on you're only good
1:37:38if you are able to be happy strong
1:37:41healthy inside and then pass it radiate
1:37:45that to
1:37:47others there you go past your ego and
1:37:51that we we we don't live that we survive
1:37:54in this Society we live in a competitive
1:37:57world we have all kinds of rules in this
1:38:00and that but do we really feel bright
1:38:04and and the top the best of ourselves
1:38:08are we able to give love in full
1:38:12conviction that it is good and to
1:38:16others are we there I don't think so and
1:38:21that is what we are going to bring
1:38:25when you say you need to know live in
1:38:26your purpose how do I know what my
1:38:28purpose is do I have to go find it
1:38:31somewhere do I you know what just be
1:38:34happy strong and healthy rest is
1:38:38[ __ ] just be happy strong and
1:38:40healthy and purpose will follow yes that
1:38:43is the purpose the characteristics of
1:38:46purpose is not to be in conflict with
1:38:48your soul happy strong and heal
1:38:52healthy then you become happy strong and

1:40:07closing tradition on this podcast where
1:40:09the last guest leaves a question for the
1:40:11next guest and my last guest left a
1:40:14question for you that is inside the
1:40:15Diary of a CEO and the question that was
1:40:19left for you is
1:40:24what is one thing you can
1:40:28do next week to prove to your friends or
1:40:33family that they matter to you more than
1:40:37your
1:40:38work oh oh work like work 9 to5 is work
1:40:44because my work is my life my work is my
1:40:47mission and in the end it is not work I
1:40:52I feel all the to do that
1:40:55so next week more than my work to keep
1:40:59on what I'm doing right here right now
1:41:02do you believe in like work life balance
1:41:04you know people say work life balance
1:41:06you've got to yeah my wife is talking
1:41:08about that but I don't I don't feel that
1:41:11I feel I'm busy with my mission and with
1:41:15my daily life at the same time there is
1:41:19no work I have no night to five I think
1:41:22you have no night to5 do you know we
1:41:25depict our own realities I think our
1:41:28power is stronger than they made us
1:41:31think it is by which we have a power
1:41:34which is stronger than uh what is
1:41:37man-made coming to us we are stronger
1:41:41and that's why we go and uh we don't
1:41:44work you know yeah we work the game we
1:41:47work the society we work at all but hey
1:41:50it's not like 9 to5 and we got to obey
1:41:53and this and that we don't do that why
1:41:57you got a maybe
1:41:59unexplainable U genetical uh Power in
1:42:03you that may made you into who you are
1:42:08what and what you are right now and you
1:42:10got a great responsibility but also that
1:42:14great ability to respond and that is

1:44:41secret what is in the Diary of a COO Cup
1:44:45this cup that sits in front of me when I
1:44:46interview these people sometimes for 3
1:44:48hours and sometimes three people a day

1:44:53invested in the company on Dragon's Den
1:44:55and since then they've gone from an idea
1:44:57to the fastest growing energy drink in
1:45:00the UK it is a mat energy drink and it
1:45:03is absolutely delicious but that's not
1:45:05why I choose to drink it on this podcast
1:45:07the reason I choose to drink it is
1:45:08because it gives me what I call all day
1:45:11energy I don't get the same crashes that
1:45:13I used to get with other energy drinks
1:45:14if you're in the middle of a
1:45:15conversation or you're in the middle of
1:45:16a talk on stage or in the boardroom the
1:45:18last thing you want to do is have a
1:45:20crash you don't want Jitters and you
1:45:22need
1:45:23focus and that is why they now sponsor
1:45:25this podcast not only is it delicious
1:45:27but it gives me a significant
1:45:29competitive Advantage if you haven't
