WHM breathwork decreases blood acidity, Wim Hof himself has accomplished spectacular things, and is a real personality:Īnother, more ancient method of withstanding cold exposure, Tummo meditation, consists of a combination of breathing techniques and visualization that claim to allow control over, among other things, one’s body temperature. The Wim Hof Method (WHM) has made the rounds over the past few years with some pretty serious claims, all backed up with scientific credibility. Background: the Wim Hof Method and Tummo Meditation The point of this post is to share my experience, nothing more. I’m not doing this to prove anything, if you want scientific proof and graphs, there’s boatloads online already. Keep in mind: any and all claims are entirely subjective.

Interested in claims made my Wim Hof, and wanting to learn how to increase control over my physiological system, I undertook a two-phase trial to explore Tummo Meditation and a modern derivative, the Wim Hof Method.

Summary: The Wim Hof method, and Tummo Meditation, are accessible means of self-regulating the nervous system by means of breath control, visualization, and gradual, non-forced cold exposure.
