BECOMING SUPERHUMAN WITH ICE MAN - Wim Hof

uh ah for everyone watching this with this particular group it's about discomfort looking for discomfort this is not for everyone don't do this at home straight like copying don't do it these guys have experience, is he able to withstand extreme cold this guy He runs the top of Everest in his underwear. He says it's easy. The experts are baffled. How is he able to survive? or as some of you know him, the Iceman, could very well be one of the most unique humans to have currently existed in the last 20 years. He's been breaking countless endurance records, mostly around his ability to withstand extreme cold temperatures, from spending nearly two hours submerged in freezing water without his core body temperature changing to climbing beyond the death zone of Mount Everest barefoot. and wearing nothing but shorts or running a full marathon in the Namibian desert without drinking water he surpassed again and again what anyone thought the human body was capable of and for a time that is why he was known as the ice man the phenomenon of nature that breaks impossible records but after a series of independent scientific studies has shown that with its specific training we are all capable of taking our minds and bodies beyond what was thought possible.

Thanks and he calls it the wim hof method. How is it possible for a human being to be exposed to an ice bath for an hour and 44 minutes wim hof is changing scientists' understanding of how the body works. He recently shocked the scientific community after injecting himself and some of his students with the form of an infectious E coli bacteria. We saw less fever. I had less flu. symptoms and also had reduced concentrations of inflammatory proteins in his blood. Together they fought the disease through breathing and meditation, which are important pillars of his method, leaving the world confused and us, like many others, fascinated, while Wim can seem

superhuman

and total. anomaly for the human race, there are now millions of people around the world practicing his method, his records and his life beg the question: what if a world of untapped potential existed and all of us simply waiting for our ability to be unleashed? to access deeper parts? of our brains to regain control and willpower over our own bodies and do things we never thought we were capable of doing before, so after meeting Wim in Los Angeles a few months ago and hearing all his statements, we were Completely intrigued by the possibility of unlocking our full potential we felt we had no choice but to fly to his training camp in Poland and experience it in person Our goal was to understand if Wim is simply a madman with

superhuman

abilities If he has truly made a groundbreaking discovery about which means The human mind is capable of doing it.

We brought a group of friends and filmmakers to help us capture the process, and although we arrived in Poland with more than three years of experience and looking for discomfort, none of us could have expected the wild ride in search of answers that we were about to experience. to undertake. and it starts yeah, oh, it hasn't started, you don't have to wear a t-shirt, you can wear a jacket, well, I'm getting acclimatized, we haven't liked the breathing or anything. Last night I went for a run without a shirt. to acclimatize, this is good, they turned off the heaters at midnight last night and then it progressively kept getting colder and colder and I was like, wow, I was freezing, yeah, my feet are frozen, we're not in the snow yet, we're going to be . walking around and we're talking about the wood being cold, yeah, I feel like women would give up if we told them that you refuse to show any emotion about everything that's being said about everything that's going on.

I'm just waiting patiently. Just because someone's message is good doesn't mean the messenger itself is anything special. He said you have to believe completely for it to work and the men are here. Yes that's me. I am a simple man, but I go. to change the world they make us believe that a lot of things, a lot of garbage, is normal, like war, illnesses and mental disorders, a kind of game is played like, yes, that's life, life can being tough and all that. Don't think that in four days I will take you to a state of mind that you have never experienced before, allowing you to go to very stressful environments like an icy mountain frozen in four hours in four days, that's not the case. like a workout is an awakening and in this awakening we show the world that we already have a lot more power here right now and that it only takes a couple of steps to reach this deck when it comes to climbing the mountain, what kind of equipment we are? you're going to have yeah, just a couple of spikes under your shoes and like shorts, little shorts, little shorts, shorts, yeah, show enough to cover everything, do you know how long it's going to take to come up, we don't know, oh, it depends on the mountain a mountain in the sun is very nice you can stay for hours it's okay but you won't when there's a 100 kilometer icy wind it's like a whip don't stay picnicking while there's a whip you just want to go as quickly as possible and it may not even be possible, the mountain is a mirror of our capabilities that are emerging and we have much more within us and the mountain will simply bring it out, but before that happens, we are going to contaminate it with a good splash you better be ready are you ready? do you feel ready? yeah, I don't know ready for what, but yeah, okay, that's exactly what I need a natural expression, let's do this, you want to ring the bells.

Baby, from the beginning we had the feeling that Wim had no intention of treating us like a normal group. Normally he starts by teaching us his breathing and meditation techniques that allow him to cope with extreme cold, but his most recent study has indicated that this can be achieved through the power of the mind, so instead of training us, he thought it would be an idea interesting for the first day to start with a test of that study in real life, taking us directly to the cliff jumping onto the ice. water, it doesn't normally do this thing where we go in without any breathing work, oh it doesn't specifically, we've been told that if you're in water without training that temperature for three minutes your body shuts down, yeah I mean everything what he said.

It was a damn choice to make, so I assume we're about to get really cold. I am willing to breathe and train. I'm not willing to jump without anything, without training and without breathing, nothing just flat out. Noobs, okay, we're about to go on our first adventure with Wim at the waterfall. We are jumping from six meters high. We have never done any training. What about frostbite? No, there are no professionals here, that is, in long exposure. in gold, don't do it, that's where we jump from below into the freezing cold water at zero degrees and float, so it's colder than normal.

We're about to find out the definition of freezing your balls off, buddy, I've never done it. He jumped in cold water, why are we doing a cliff jump twenty feet high into shallow, icy water? Oh, while we were celebrating completing his initiation without us realizing it, Wim was carefully observing us and our reactions, we are about to completely determine what our next three days would be like. Turns out I've never pushed my body like that before, like every voice inside your mind is like screaming at you, like you're crazy, you can't think about anything but surviving when you're out in the cold, you don't think about giving yourself over to it. your emotions and your heartbroken brother and all those things that you just have to survive, so you learn to control your emotions today, when we went cliff jumping, you said that the anxiety and fear that we face is natural, yes, uh.

What would you say your relationship with anxiety and fear is like? Today was a great day because not only did I see myself having fun at the waterfall, but you hold it, this ball game is going to be good for the next four days, so how am I doing? Dealing with this anxiety there is no anxiety, there is only power and that power will be ours, it will be our mind and my challenge these four days is to bring you to total understanding by feeling the power of your own mind. and send that to the world that is where we knock on the door of your heaven inside and that you are the owner of your own brain you are the owner of your own brain you have that your own mind your own happiness strength and health is yours ours The first day in Poland ended without training, we went to bed hoping that the next day we would finally start preparing for the intense mountain climb in three days, but when we woke up we were told that Capricho had other plans, he normally doesn't. do.

I go gradually step by step, but not with this group, it's all about discomfort, looking for discomfort is exactly what I needed, so we jump right into the deep end, which I normally don't do at all. It's giving people heart attacks because the vascular system is not true, but in this case I could specifically with this group I want to try the latest study that I have shown that everything is in the mind we are made to be happy strong and healthy we have all the tools but they are not awake but who is going to wake them up is us this week we are going to do things that I have never done because I have been a guinea pig all my life and I changed the books now I am going to do that with the theory of yes, here is the plan there is no plan we do whatever whim we decide we were supposed to do something up here but apparently we are going to go down and find out what his plan is if he tells you to jump in the water you jump in the water if he tells you to sleep you sleep if he wants to give you a slap they slap you that's what a teacher does, he told me to do that whim he said it friend, I woke us up at three thirty and since then I've been thinking, oh, this is going to be a completely different way, We don't want another documentary about vice, we want something new right now, I'm preparing a 10 minute ice bath for you guys, 10 minutes, all of you aim for.

The latest study showed that we can access the deepest part of the brain at will. We will show you and without you how to manage the brain. How to manage the mind. Set your mind. Your mind will make your body capable of surviving in 10 minutes. ice bath as a treat we come back here and have a big sauna festival and then you get food, okay? What's wrong with the breath, brother? Yes, the one mouth method, baby, tomorrow we're going to breathe, we turn it into a shortcut 'cause y'all go from comfort to discomfort there's comfort I'll show you what perfect comfort is we're ready let's go for an ice bath baby come on okay stop looking at them I wish we could replace just his face we're supposed to learn breathing techniques to deal with the cold today but decided to skip that step and just throw him straight into the cold and see if we can with the power of our mind adapt to it, what does that mean, man, I was freezing when I had? my toes in the snow I was supposed to sit in the damn ice bath, you know? 10 minutes is a long time thanks man yeah I had no idea that's a really long time in ice water it involves breathing and that's a big part of it and the fact that we're getting over that and just trying to get right into the mindset that I've never done, like a full ice bath without breath, if you've never done ice baths, you're not going to do it more than three minutes or even two to start and we're doing 10.

The whole point of us being here is to learn and I feel that they're just throwing us into being like the power of your mind just shut up and do it when your house is on fire. you run fast you don't need to think you go because the adrenaline is there so it's like the house is on fire it's not on fire but you are on fire follow me on this and it's going to happen start to doubt and something else is happening happen then, Is there anything physically I do or something mentally I should do to focus my mind?

Just follow the breath, okay, here you are, the only thing is not to interfere with what the body is capable of doing with what the body is. able to do adaptive meditation it is dynamic it is real it is a deeper part of the brain that has enough blood flow now they studied mindfulness in research and saw that in 10 minutes what people do, even after years of attention training full, they are not able to achieve it now get the signals out of there and go back to your feeling that you are the one who has control over yourself, you got it, yes, three minutes is hypothermia, right, yes, and we are doing 10 minutes without training, that's okay, that's okay, in Alaska we were in the water for probably 30 seconds and never in my wildest dreams did I think I could stay in cold water for three more than two minutes.

This is testing all the assumptions I've made about myself in the cold. I hate the cold and in a way. There's like a method to his madness, you know, at firstyou did very well to unlock your potential we have fully given ourselves the last four days to show new directions beyond fear, beyond fear, there is much more to come, you are the new generation you are the youth you have to change this world now unlock the power of your own mind because it's so beautiful uh oh so you
