In our busy and hectic lives, where our senses are bombarded, meditation offers us some reprieve, and increased awareness of our mind and body. Various studies have shown that meditation exercises can do so much more for your wellbeing than just some temporary stress relief. Spiritual leaders and mental health experts teach many different meditation techniques. Wim Hof developed his own meditation technique. With the meditation techniques of the Wim Hof Method, you can take control over your own body and mind. Meditation techniques are also essential if you want to practice the other fundamentals of Wim’s method, which are cold therapy and conscious breathing. The combination of these three fundamentals will help you to live happier, healthier , and stronger!

Meditation techniques have been practiced for thousands of years, and are considered a type of complementary mind-body medicine. Meditation exercises bring you in a deep state of relaxation, and give you a peaceful mind. The exercises create a sense of balance, calm, and peace that improves your mental health and wellbeing. Best of all, these benefits are not only present during the session; they help you stay calm over the course of the day. Furthermore, meditation techniques are known to be a guide in managing some medical conditions, like high blood pressure, considerable levels of stress, and particular types of anxiety.

Practice your meditation techniques

So how often do you need to meditate? Briefly put, there is no simple answer to this question. This is why we advocate that any meditation is always better than no meditation at all. So, if you are only able to do your meditation exercises once a week, this is not a problem. It is a good thing to start with a few meditation sessions per week and work the exercise frequency up to one session per day. If you find it difficult to meditate every day, then it is recommended to choose a set time, so that you can turn the meditation into a habit. When it becomes evident that you benefit from the meditation exercises, you can apply them more frequently and in specific situations (for example to release stress whenever it arises).

Wim Hof himself, also known as the Iceman, teaches you in a step-by-step video course how to use his meditation techniques. In addition, he teaches you how to combine these techniques with breathing exercises, and controlled exposure to cold. With his method, Wim guides you to a healthier and happier mind and body. You can start the video course today, from the comforts of your home. The video course is available in English, with subtitles in Spanish, French, German, and Dutch.

As mentioned, the Wim Hof Method consists of three pillars. The three pillars are controlled exposure to cold, breathing exercises, and commitment. When you combine these three pillars, you are able to control your mind, reduce stress, and improve your wellbeing. Many scientific studies have shown the positive effects of the Wim Hof Method on the body and on mental health. Thousands of people worldwide have already experienced health improvements by practicing the Wim Hof Method. Start today, and see for yourself!

I have severe arthritis in my left hip. By implementing the Wim Hof Method in my daily life, I can deal with this without getting surgery. I love Wim’s purity. His coaching inspires me and gives me energy. I’m almost 66 years old and by practicing the Wim Hof Method I feel much more...

Albert, The Netherlands

For 12 years now I have had rheumatism. Thanks to the Wim Hof Method I have been able to halve the amount of anti-inflammatory drugs. My goal is to completely stop the use of anti-inflammatory drugs after finishing the video course.

Aivar, Estonia

I am 52 years old, and after 10 weeks of the Wim Hof Method I am in the best shape I have ever been. I did 30 push-ups as a test before I started the course, and when I finished I did 100 push-ups for the first time in my life. The Wim Hof Method gives you a good mood, it’s addictive!

Monic, The Netherlands

It’s only been 4 weeks since I started, but the results are remarkable! Thank you from the heart for changing my life, my health, and my understanding about my own power and the influence I have on this. I’m looking forward to a nice cold winter in the Netherlands.

Mino, Germany

Learning Wim’s method is like studying from one of nature’s best students. My life long fear of cold is history. I now fully enjoy cold immersions, but the benefits are not limited to cold. I am now a better person and a happier being. I smile when facing life challenges.

After 8 months of daily Hoffing, puffing and cold showers I can claim to be cured of my 5 year burnout. Not having had a single cold or flu, my sore knee is working perfectly again, which was very painful the last 2 years. It is like a miracle, and I’m really grateful that our paths crossed.

Franco, USA

Wim I hope to train with you someday. I love to jump into that cold water and climb that mountain with you. Your method has truly helped me with psoriatic arthritis. I am no longer taking Humira injections for my symptoms. I am controlling it with breathing, cold showers and ice baths.

Matthew, Australia

I would have paid $10,000 for this, but that would not be enough because this has changed my life. I feel like I have taken Valium yet am supercharged. As a clinical psychologist my days can be very stressful. There is a stillness inside me now, and what I am really amazed by is the peace lasts.

Per Kristian, United Kingdom

After 3 weeks of daily practicing my medication (Naproxen) for long-standing sciatica has been cut by 80%, and my arm pain and 'pins and needles' following a neck injury 50 years ago has been halved!

Arthur, USA

I got anxiety 2+ years ago, and have had panic attacks every day since. Medicine helped a little. I came across your videos and started to walk my 2 miles a day in only a t-shirt at 20F degrees. Within 2 weeks my anxiety went away! I found it to be a miracle.

James, USA

I’ve had astonishing results battling addiction with the Wim Hof Method. It has saved my life and is the only thing that worked on getting clean and healthy. I go ahead and get my suffering over with in the cold showers, so I don't have to suffer throughout the day. Pretty good trade to...

Georg, Germany

Cardiac and respiratory arrest began my life. Heart defect and cleft palate pushed diseases. Depression, lack of self-efficacy, and post traumatic stress disorder followed. The Wim Hof Method frees me: I am twenty-nine years old, and I love to live. Thank you!

Grant, Australia

I was born with Spina Bifida, and was told I would end up in a wheelchair. After incorporating the Wim Hof Method into my daily life I have begun to see results in my pain levels and athleticism. I am no longer looking down the barrel of becoming a paraplegic, and I attribute that in part to the...

Raúl, The Netherlands

From the 90s to 2012 I developed hayfever symptoms and had to take daily medications in order to cope. The effect of these medications only lasted for several hours. By using the Wim Hof Method training daily, my body has conquered hayfever symptoms since 2013.

Benjamin

I started the Wim Hof method in October of 2018, and now the holes I had in my brain are gone. My neurosurgeon was so impressed by the scans that he told me I don't have to come back anymore. I take this as proof that this method works to regenerate brain tissue.
