Completing a full marathon in Namib desert without drinking any water.Hanging on one finger at an altitude of 2000 metres.Completing a full marathon above the polar circle in Finland where the temperature was as low as -20 degrees, dressed in only shorts.Reaching the top of Kilimanjaro barefoot wearing just shorts, in only two days.Staying immersed in ice for 1 hour 13 minutes.It also influences the very core of our DNA. The inner power is a force accumulated by fully awakened physiological processes. As these deeper physiological layers are not stimulated anymore we have become alienated from them, thus our bodies have weakened and we are no longer in touch with this inner power. Over time, we, as humans have developed a different attitude towards nature around us and we actually forgot one thing, ‘inner power.’ This is the relationship by our physiological mechanisms to adapt and survive within our natural environment, which is direct and effective.īecause we wear clothes and control the temperatures at home and work, we have changed the stimulation on our body, thus the old mechanisms related to survive and function. Before I continue, here’s a short video that gives you a brief overview of what the Wim Hof Method is all about. I will go into more detail about the science behind the Wim Hof Method further on in this article. Not only this - Hof is not a freak of nature - anyone who practises his technique can train themselves to do the same. Wim Hof is essentially able to control his hypothalamus - the part of the brain that helps to control body temperature. Up until recently, no one thought this was possible.

This is a meditation technique that has been scientifically proven to influence the autonomic nervous system and the immune system. The Wim Hof Method is re-writing science as I type these words. Although I haven’t yet hiked up snowy mountains half naked or practised headstands on ice, I did sample one of the most important and revolutionary methods of meditation I’ve ever come across. Over the summer of 2015, I decided to give the Wim Hof Method a go. I believe it’s a mix of all of the above, but if I were to sum up what the Wim Hof Method really is - I’d say it’s a way to reclaim your inner power - mentally, physically and spiritually. A technique to help control your body’s temperature? A powerful form of meditation? A practical tool to help cure disease?
