I have been using a method called Wim-Hof for some time as it was said to be helpful in increasing your energy, help you heal physically and emotionally, and bring out your "inner fire".
The method have been developed by a guy from Netherlands called Wim-Hof, who also have been known as the "Ice-man" because of his ability to stay long time in ice-baths and doing things most would have some problems with, such as climbing Kilimanjaro just in a pair of shorts. Cool stuff.
Anyway the method is based on three components (I have only done the breathing part for about one month, and are feeling some effects, but I come to that later):
- Breathing exercises
- Cold showers
- Stretches and exercises with body-weight
He share generously about his method online, most stuff can be found in videos and in texts, and if you want full access you can get it from buying the full package (which I did).
Some benefits that that users have experienced from following the program (the program is 10-weeks but most users stick with it and start to use it as a regular routine):
- A guy who work as a writer wrote about 1000-words a day before, now with the energy he has he writes over 10 000 words per day (10-fold increase!)
- Overall stronger immune-system
- Feeling "stronger" and not stressing out about small stuff
- More energy
- Better sleep
- Overall improvement in well-being
- Better blood circulation
- Higher body temperature and less need to wear warmer clothes
- More relaxed
- Deeper states in meditation
- Higher creativity
- Higher methabolism due to higher body temperature
- Improvement in athletic performance
Hard to say it doesn't sound pretty good, right!
Well I have used it for about 4 weeks and can feel that I becoming stronger and can "relax in myself". I have suffered from depression for about 2 years, which have gradually improved over time, but it feels like this method have helped me to a new level of recovering and bringing out the "force" in me that I lost for a while. For those interested in chakras, it feels like my solar plexus chakra is becoming stronger, I am becoming more "centered" and I have overall more energy.

"However, on the app vs the course idea, I will say this: I started the full course when I was at a dark time in my life. I was struggling to overcome something significant that no one knew about. Friends and family weren’t there to support me because they didn’t know I had this problem. But with Wim’s course, I overcame my issue, he helped me through, and my health and happiness increased x1000. It’s with real sincerity that I say Wim’s course is the best investment I ever made. And I don’t think an app would have had quite the same effect. If I had just used an app, I think would still be battling my problems today."
