lately about different breathing

techniques that can allow you to

increase your energy or give you an

ability withstand extreme temperatures

and basically improve the overall health

of your body now wim HOF has been making

his style very popular proving that if

you do what he does

you can almost have superhuman abilities

I've also learned the technique of

shamanic breathing back when i was

living in South America many years ago

on how to do very similar things now

they're both very simple and very

beneficial i'm gonna show you how to do

each one of them but just to give you an

idea of what you can do is it'll help to

increase the health of all of your

systems so basically you're nervous

system your endocrine system your immune

system it can help to increase the pH

and oxygenate all of your cells and this

can allow for very powerful healing

because it will kill endotoxins in your

body as well as bacteria now it can also

increase your metabolic rate now what

this means you'll have an ability to

burn fat and lose weight very rapidly

and there are many diets based on the

system and i'm going to provide links

for those in the blog associated with

this video it can help to increase your

white blood cell count which will allow

you to fight disease easier it can help

to increase your internal energy or what

the Chinese call your Chi which would

accomplish the same thing as if you were

to go to get acupuncture now it will

also put you into a kind of natural high

in a very healthy way without taking any

drugs and it will bring you an easier

ability to get to an altered state in

preparation for meditation or something

like that in fact in all of my classes

and my guided meditations that you'll

find on my site I start out with heavy

breathing techniques similar to this in

order to lower stress and increase your

awareness and and go into a deeper state

of consciousness so that you can

accomplish what you want whether it be

visualization or manifestation or just

relaxing you can find a whole menu of

guided meditations on my site for that

doing this can also help you to unlock

your pineapple glandore decalcify it

which is a part of your brain that is

referred to as your connection to higher

consciousness or to the universe and

unfortunately is dormant in most people

because of fluoride in the water and

processed foods and other problems in a

modern day diet and for more on that you

can see my video on decalcifying your

pineal gland where i am at the beach in

10-degree weather with my shirt off

showing how you can withstand these cold

temperatures by doing this practice if

you want to

now i'm going to show you both

techniques we're going to start with wim

Hof's method and you can do the sitting

comfortably you're laying down and

unlike my recommendation for meditation

where I always tell people to sit up

with the chakras in alignment this one

I actually like to do laying down both

these in fact with your chakras in

alignment

I actually do this mostly in the morning

as soon as I wake up and I'll do this

breathing technique and then I'll sit up

straight and allow my chakras to be in

alignment that way now it's very simple

you're either going to time yourself for

two to three minutes or just take 30

deep inhales and exhales the breathing

pattern is fully in as much as you can

and then exhale comfortably just letting

go not forcing it out

once you get past the two to three

minutes or 30 breaths then what you're

going to do is let it all out and hold

let go of the breath bully and hold on

the exhale not taking another breath

relaxing yourself into your body and

holding the breath for at least one

minute and up to three

however long you can now once you can't

hold any longer take a full inhale and

squeeze feeling the energy radiating up

your spine for about 15 to 20 seconds as

you hold your breath on that inhale to

create further awareness you can tap

with your hands different parts of your

body such as your abdomen your chest

your head and most especially the space

in between your eyebrows leading to your

third eye or your pineal gland this will

activate your chakras your brain stem

and your pineal gland

now imagine moving the energy up and

around all of these areas of your body

you can also imagine creating an egg of

light for love and protection around

your body while you're doing this and it

will also help you to move the chi

within your body any minute and improve

the health now you want to do this at

least three times and you'll notice each

time that you're able to hold your

breath longer and the longer you do in

other words over time the more days that

you do it you'll notice improvement as

well now as a bonus step on the final

one you can sit up into a horse stance

or go on to a plank or somehow hold

yourself in strength position that will

allow you to see how long you can hold

yourself while you're holding your

breath and what you'll notice is after

doing this for some length of time that

you're able to hold that that position

for longer as well as you're able to

hold it for longer than prior to doing

this type of breathing technique but

don't stress about the performance

that's just so that you know that your

improve

now that's the entire techniques i

usually do that about three times and

then start my meditation is mentioned

now if you want to take this same

principle further using a more powerful

technique that's the shamanic breathing

with this type of breathing what we're

going to do is breathe in and out is

hard and aggressively as as possible for

us for 10 to 15-minute intervals for up

to an hour now in between those

intervals after 10 or 15 minutes what

you're going to do is hold your breath

for as long as you can now the

differences with this one, I usually do it

on the up breath or somewhere in between

rather than on the down breath as we do

in the last one now this one is work

after about 10 minutes you may notice a

powerful wave of emotions coming through

you often repressed memories that are

associated with physical pain may start

to resurface and it could give you the

opportunity to detox emotions or energy

that have been stored or blocked inside

within your body so that could be from

this life or from past life so when if

you start to experience pain but i would

do is continue to breathe hard and fast

with the awareness of the pain moving

through it and allowing to let it go now

when you're holding your breath you're

going to completely relax every muscle

in your body have awareness of all of

your skin and every bit of your body

from your head all the way down to your

toes

you can relax and feel your muscles and

your heart beating some say this even

causes the release of dmt similar to

taking ayahuasca but completely

naturally and healthy you can even relax

and feel the Kundalini energy move from

your root chakra all the way up to your

crown now I recommend you do this

between one and four sets 10 to 15

minutes each and you're going to start

to notice amazing things happening i

keep having an ability to hold your

breath between five and ten minutes in

between the sets

you're also going to feel a state of

mind as if you too

did ecstasy feeling love and connection

with all things which is why i like to

do this in conjunction with tantra

because it allows you to go to a deeper

level with your partner you're a couple

and you can see my meditations on my

meditations page for tantra they are

guided meditations for you to do with

your partner that allow you to have a

deeper intimacy and loving connection so

i highly recommend that and move your

body in whatever way it wants to just

continue to breathe and let it go

also if you want to take this a step

further when you're holding the breath

you can bring in divine light from above

to surround you

as a former protection and love and you

could also do that at the end as well as

a form of cleansing in detox you also

might notice that you have an

overwhelming feeling of emotions and

that could be loved for all around you

or release such as crying laughing or

some other form of release just allow

that to happen and be one with it now

when you do this i would highly

recommend you put in coconut oil around

your lips and inside your mouth because

it becomes very drawing you also might

experience a muscle cramp in your hands

or in your forearms and you might even

have this feeling like you're going to

die because you're doing something so

extreme with the breathing that is and

what I recommend is just breathing right

through all these I don't know of anyone

having any real problems from breathing

that i just mentioned but your mind

starts to play tricks on you when you

start moving to an altered state of

consciousness

now if you want to prepare for more the

extreme things like extreme cold weather

it's just like anything else you need to

prepare yourself on a mind-body and

spiritual level which is the same as

many of the other things that you do

this is why taking a 10-hour car trip or

plane trip often doesn't seem as bad as

a one hour trip that you weren't

prepared for because mentally you knew

that you were going to do this or why a

cold shower might be impossible to do

but going in an even colder ocean is

easy because you're prepared for that

and this also means preparing yourself

physically and energetically so that

means eating more nutritious foods as

well as doing meditations and moving the

chi within your body you can see my

videos for those but you're also

preparing yourself mentally so if you

can relax and breathe and see yourself
