I was wondering if anyone else has been following The Wim Hoff Method of breathing and cold water techniques? I've suffered from depression for the past 3 years, so 6 months ago, i started following the Wim Hof Method through his app. I have not taken a happy pill since, and feel so much calmer than I ever have. I do 2 cold showers a day, after my warm one, and the breathing 3 times a day. I can actually hold my breath on an out-breath for over 3 mins now.

Here is his Youtube page with the guided breathing.

This man is actually changing lives around the world.

He's been interview on R5 many times, I think it's natural (predates our modern stressful and IT filled lives, with shallow breathing) and it works.

Similar imho to physical yoga and/or meditation, with an emphasis on relaxed, deep, measured breathing and a long exhalation. A friend used meditation to solve their stress and negative thinking, it really did help.

Thanks for sharing, v interesting
