It was difficult till the moment my head went under and then it was a full body bliss experience. I did some training in this a long long time ago and one of the weekends had a focus on overcoming fear of the cold where we did this technique progressively ending out into the sea (during the middle of winter), two people doing the breath, looking at each other to keep the focus and motivation. Only they don't stop after 20-40 breaths but keep going till uncomfortable physical and emotional symptoms come up and they keep going till they dissipate. The circular breath (in out with no break) is the foundation of the rebirthing technique developed by Leonard Orr in the 70s which I think they just call breath work these days. I would love to hear about it if you have! I am really excited about all of this and feel like this technique has opened a whole new realm of possibilities for me.Īnyone else had any experience with this? have accessed some places I didn't think that I personally would ever be able to get to without the use of some mind altering substance. I have had some pretty amazing and beautiful out of body experiences doing longer deep breathing sessions. So now I am embarking on the ten week course - I am still in the first week but I feel changes occurring already.
Whenever I do the breathing it makes me feel extremely calm in a way I have only previously been able to achieve through using floatation tanks or long meditation sessions, but now can be achieved with 5 minutes of breathing.

it is possible I will be able to control my allergies and skin reactions! (and a cold shower) My understanding is that this awareness and control of my physical reaction should be able to expanded to include my immune response. and it is something I can choose not to do! So all of a sudden i no longer have to rug up in fear of having an injury! All it took was some breathing. However with use of the breathing technique I have found cold showers to be quite tolerable and after only 2 cold showers I had this realisation that all the pain i experience related to cold is actually just me reacting to the cold - not something the cold does to me. So to have a cold shower is something i would never normally dream of doing. i wont go swimming unless the water is above 28 degrees. if I am not rugged up my back seizes up and i am in pain for weeks. I am moving to warmer climates because i find the cold of winter in melbourne to be crippling.
I started having cold showers as this is part of the technique. Within a week of starting the course, i was able to hold my breath for 4 minutes 39 secs, without forcing it, it was easy.

So I started doing the breathing, (I have shared a link to a free demonstration of how to start doing this below) and started to get some really interesting results right away. I became interested as my friend claimed to have had amazing changes in his health since working with the breathing method each day - eczema and asthma apparently ceased to be a problem for him. If you would like to see a Vice doco about him and his method it is here: (He currently holds about 20 Guinness world records for various things like running marathon in subzero conditions wearing only shoes and shorts, sitting in ice up to neck for hours on end and being able to consciously control his immune system to some degree) He attributes his achievements to his breathing method.
He has become famous for his ability to perform extreme feats of endurance, usually to do with resisting the cold. If you dont know about the Wim Hof method, its a form of breathing exercise/meditation popularised by this guy:
I was recently introduced to the Wim Hof Method by a friend, I have been getting some very interesting results.
