High resistance at your fingertips

Good health is especially important during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our immunity can be weakened by various internal and external factors. How to build it, while having a positive impact on our vital energy? All it takes is three steps, consisting of the Wim Hof method, which has been gaining more and more supporters in recent years.

Priceless benefits

Using this method brings many benefits not only related to the state of physical health. It also has a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system, regulates the endocrine system and improves well-being, which translates into better stress management and, most importantly, increases our effectiveness and improves the overall quality of life.

Wim Hof's method has an incredible effect on our body. We harden it, reduce susceptibility to inflammation, build the so-called brown fat tissue, which protects against low temperatures. It is worth emphasising that it also provides invaluable benefits for our everyday life, such as improving our ability to focus and concentrate, increasing creativity or discovering additional layers of energy in ourselves. The creator of the method himself says that it helps us to be happy, strong and healthy.

Three compulsory points

This unusual, as we are about to see, way of improving immunity and our quality of life is based on training the nervous, immune, cardiac and respiratory systems. The method developed by Wim Hof is simple, yet extremely effective. It is based on a combination of three elements: breathing (proper breathing technique, which oxygenates the body and increases lung capacity, which is especially appreciated by athletes), exposure to cold and commitment (positive attitude and high level of self-awareness). These are aimed at obtaining specific responses from the body. There is nothing to prevent you from starting your practice with just one of the pillars. However, in order to feel all the benefits, all three elements must be applied simultaneously. Their combination makes the method extremely effective.

From theory directly into practice

How to start using Wim Hof's method? We can get the appropriate reading that explores the subject or download an app that introduces the user to its three elements. Practitioners, however, recommend pushing the boundaries as quickly as possible and stepping out of your comfort zone in the presence of certified instructors. Wim Hof's method is best learned under the guidance of experienced professionals. Then the practice can bring very effective results for improving the quality of our lives. A professional introduction to the Wim Hof method is provided among other things by trips, during which not only theoretical knowledge is passed on, but also practical exercises take place. Life-changing breathing exercises, bathing in mountain streams and climbing a mountain in your underwear? Sounds a bit absurd and gives you goosebumps, doesn't it? After the Breaking the Ice trip, which provides an introduction to Wim Hof's method, participants return with the conviction that the impossible does not exist!
