HN commenters share it as a gentle beginner session and as a way to wind down before sleep.
A guided Wim Hof breathing session of three rounds at a slow pace, building from a 30 second to a 90 second breath hold. An on-screen bubble animation helps you keep the rhythm.
“i did send her this one which is a bit easier” (HN, 2022)
Thanks for this. My pensioner mother came back from the doctors yesterday with a chest infection, on top of this she has mild bronchitis. I've just sent her this exercises as I'm hoping it might improve her lung health. Although i did send her this one which is a bit easier: [this video] But thanks for posting it, I never knew about this method. Just tried it myself and it rocks.
Hi, two suggestions that work for me: 1) The Wim Hof method. How to do it: [link] Guided session: [this video] 2) Reveri - self hypnosis app: [link] Also, do you get enough sunlight during the day? They say it balances your circadian rythm. Some other resources that might be helpful: [link] [link]
I got into doing this Wim Hof breathing exercise a few years ago and it was definitely intense. Unsure if this is related but sounds similar. [this video]
