Digging for Courage: The Wim Hof Method

I started Wim Hof’s 40-day challenge this morning and it super-charged my day.

I did three rounds of 30+ intentional breaths with a long retention after the last exhale of each round. The physical and mental sensations were obvious and brightened me all over.

I threw in 30 minutes of relaxed yoga while I listened to Russell Brand interview Hof. I finished with my new favorite pose, a tripod headstand.

Then I took a hot shower before stepping back, turning the water cold, and easing back under for more than two minutes. Once I acclimated, I even did a little jig like Hof does in his free video course.

It was envigorating in a deep way. I felt free of, and prepared to take on, the fear possessing my fellow man.

I’ve tried quite a few new things in the last couple years. This experience was on the level of my first hot yoga class at Yoga U and the biggest newbie success with a technique tried at home.

I’m excited to share this 40-day journey.

God bless and thank you for reading,
