00:00:00
very soon you will be in the ice birth with me but I don't like the cold that's
00:00:06
cool yeah oh gosh stay with your breath
00:00:11
wh hop has defied logic time and time again he's able to withstand extreme cold and even ran to the top of Everest
00:00:18
in his underwear he's proven we're all capable of pushing our minds and bodies way past what was thought possible they
00:00:24
call me the ice man what is the purpose of living happiness strength and health you're rest is [ __ ] but this Society
00:00:32
is sick and we cannot deal with stress it drains us but if we listen to our
00:00:37
body we can change that through science so what is the first step breathing exercises it's about handling our
00:00:45
emotion and feel that we are on top of it no matter what but we have never
00:00:50
learned in our schooling how to do it next through the power of the mind we
00:00:56
learn to make our bad feelings disease go away you were injected with eoli you
00:01:02
had no negative immune response you took volunteers train them on your techniques and when they were injected their
00:01:08
responses were similar to your own it's all possible how do you do that first we
00:01:13
have to whim was there ever a time where the pain was even too much for you my wife
00:01:20
took her own life and that led to depression and I was not
00:01:29
able to do do [Music] anything there's so many people that are going through different forms of grief
00:01:35
what would you say to those people the only way to break that
00:01:42
is we've just hit 6 million subscribers on the dver co um so me and my team would like to do something we've never
00:01:48
done before as little thank you and we're calling it The di of Co subscriber raffle and here is how it works every
00:01:54
episode this month we're going to pick three current subscribers at random and we'll send one of you a 1,000 value
00:02:00
one of you tickets to come and watch the D behind the scenes live with our team and one of you will have a 10-minute
00:02:05
phone call with me to discuss whatever you want to talk about if you're a subscriber you're in the raffle thank
00:02:11
you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to do something that me and my team love doing so much it is the
00:02:17
greatest honor of my lifetime and I hope it I hope it continues uh off into the Future Let's get to the
00:02:22
[Music]
00:02:28
episode whm yes what is your mission my mission is to bring uh love
00:02:36
and power very simple but then through signs so there is no speculation about
00:02:42
it they in all the songs you hear love is the greatest power and all that you
00:02:48
know but we should be able to feel it and because we could not feel that
00:02:54
anymore to be uh uh too consumed through consumerism
00:03:00
through uh everyday very hectic stressful lives we get confused in it
00:03:08
all we are depleted in our energy our energy is being drained through a system
00:03:14
that is an inally being divided in its
00:03:20
wealth and therefore people are not able uh to use their energy to bring up uh
00:03:27
the the right values back in the family which is patience which is empathy
00:03:33
creativity uh love composed by happiness strength and
00:03:39
health so because there is confusion in that area that's why uh I I thought hey
00:03:48
I'm going to start somewhere here and now I'm going to change the world and I see the wars I see unhappiness I see
00:03:56
depression I see pollution I see abuse I see uh all that and people think that is
00:04:03
normal and we have to abide to those uh realities and I think no it's sick and
00:04:10
what I'm going to do about it I'm I'm going to start looking searching inside
00:04:17
because I I I think every uh mother in the world should be able to bring
00:04:22
happiness strength and health to their children and keep it there so that's my
00:04:28
mission to bring it and because nobody's listening to a person like me saying
00:04:33
that from the roof we got love is the power and all that that's why I go
00:04:40
through science but first I went into the cold and the cold I met because
00:04:48
intuitively I felt hey the cold is able to bring down my thinking what is it
00:04:55
about the nature of society when you look out on Society at the moment that makes you sad or concerned what is it
00:05:01
about the way we live way we've built this thing called Society so a society
00:05:07
is a very complex uh uh opportunistic
00:05:14
uh way uh through time nobody is able to trace down where the problems are how it
00:05:21
has been Arisen it's too complex too confused now and there I I I say hey
00:05:28
okay this look at The Establishment is this perfect is this paradise Noh is
00:05:35
nothing wrong with our knowledge understanding and intelligence but the way we use it we have to change our
00:05:43
Consciousness and our Consciousness is our way to perceive perceive is what we
00:05:49
see and what we are able to deal with and we cannot deal with the stress
00:05:54
coming in our lives it consumes us it drains us and there we are and and look
00:06:02
what we can do we can go to the Moon we can go to Mars we can build Bridges we can make create AI all those things but
00:06:10
we cannot create happiness strength and health we got to reset so let's
00:06:16
stop massively in the world and Elevate our Consciousness to being good to each
00:06:24
other not to be competitive if I if I'm an individual listening to this and I
00:06:29
follow your methods what can you promise me will be the outcome on my daytoday
00:06:35
life a lot more energy that's number one two you will feel just
00:06:42
aive what is the purpose of living it's life to love life as it is pure no
00:06:51
thoughts no confusion it's not there just feel alive when you uh rise from
00:06:58
the bed you feel okay this is a new
00:07:03
day what I'm going to do I'm going to change the world today because I feel so
00:07:09
good and even though I'm not fully on right now I know it's coming and I want
00:07:15
it I want it so much and you know what it's called
00:07:21
purpose and that purpose I'm I'm living it and that purpose is stronger than my
00:07:27
thinking and this Society is not driven to fulfill each and everyone's purpose
00:07:34
it's to uh have the the the society maintained the system maintained
00:07:40
controlled by a a couple of people all the energy for what where is the
00:07:47
happiness where is the strength where is the health every day when I live my purpose and and I want to change the
00:07:55
world I want to bring love and power and I'm doing with mathematical Precision with the
00:08:04
mission impossible things they I found which I tested in uh scientific uh
00:08:12
comparative studies showing that suddenly we have so much more control
00:08:18
instead of being controlled by the system oppressing our purpose Our Lives
00:08:24
energy and to connect with that purpose it's like love when you feel love for
00:08:29
your woman for your love your sex this this you you don't think that is that
00:08:35
power and that power you should be able to live and to feel for life itself
00:08:42
every day but we are blocked too much going into the cold brings you out of
00:08:49
this thinking brain it brings you directly into the deepest part of the brain because you
00:08:56
are doing it going into the called then it it needs to be switched on the
00:09:03
deepest part of the brain survival part the brain stem and uh to battle the
00:09:08
danger of the cold but it's there once it's there and you are doing it you are
00:09:14
connecting is that pardon what you're saying that the way that we live our lives is a little bit too comfortable so
00:09:20
we're not reaching those sort of deeper levels of our of our brain we're kind of and we are optimizing discomfort out of
00:09:27
our lives in every chance we get you from every you know I got here today in a nice warm car I arrived in a nice
00:09:34
warm building I had a nice warm shower oh very soon you will be in the ice bath
00:09:39
with me it's it's going to be nice you know
00:09:46
it's going to be nice but that that that the the difference is we choose if we go
00:09:52
to the cult and the cold will not come to us we tackle the problem before it
00:09:57
arises within us with the cult which is a very uh negative aggressive power
00:10:05
inflicted upon our bodies it's an impact when you say if we go to the cold before
00:10:11
the cold comes to us is that a metaphor for life are you yes okay you mean we go we put ourselves in discomfort and if we
00:10:18
don't then our lives will be met with discomfort in other way yes and then we are not prepared yeah right and that
00:10:25
and a lot of people are maybe okay with this in this system but uh so many more
00:10:32
people are not okay with this and for those we stand up we who have the wealth
00:10:38
of being and feeling okay great that's wealth we should be able to stand up for
00:10:46
those who cannot whim when did this start when did this start for you because a lot of people that I meet on
00:10:52
this show you know their early Journeys or the sort of pivotal moments in their lives can be traced back to maybe when
00:10:57
they were 12 or 13 but your journey starts even earlier the first Domino
00:11:02
that fell seems to fall when your mother was giving birth to you oh yes subconsciously it started at my birth my
00:11:10
mother told me I'm one of the twins unexpected back then we had no Echo
00:11:16
graphics and all these tools so they didn't know that there was another twin baby there exactly and so I was almost
00:11:24
uh born too late they discovered me almost too late
00:11:29
and uh so I came out while they were pushing uh the bat with my mother to the
00:11:36
operation room in the in in the hallway like purple because almost suffocated
00:11:43
coming out in the cold of the hall very traumatized it started over there it
00:11:49
started with a trauma and I let me tell you I was I became a Seeker because of
00:11:55
that trauma people become Seekers if they have deep trauma they always will seek uh compensation
00:12:04
always try to seek relief in one way or in another not directly to the trauma
00:12:11
but indirectly bypassing and they don't know it influences directly deeply your
00:12:19
behavior in life just want to make sure I'm super clear on this your mother had
00:12:25
two identical twin boys and the doctor's own only knew that one baby was there so
00:12:31
when they finished delivering um your brother your identical twin brother they
00:12:38
were moving on with the procedure and then at the last minute while they were in the hallway they discovered there was another baby in there and that other
00:12:45
baby yourself was at risk and from that whole sort of traumatic experience you feel that that sort of embodied a trauma
00:12:50
which you've which turned you into a Seeker looking for answers on the universe rejecting the conventional
00:12:56
thinking and that takes us all the way through this sort of um very curious childhood up to the point you describe
00:13:01
at 17 years old where you're stood in Amsterdam by a very very cold lake and you feel cold to jump into that Lake yes
00:13:10
yes uh cold and C there are no words to describe it because you are led by
00:13:16
intuition you are led by a way the the body is able to solve whatever is inside
00:13:24
because you cannot relate by thinking what is going on because I was a baby back then but it always blocked me it
00:13:32
made me a seeker and uh at that moment when I went in I just follow to
00:13:38
intuition it's a feeling and there I felt this is it this is it what I've
00:13:46
always been trying to find as a Seeker my intuition had led me to ER uh go into
00:13:53
that water to meet my trauma and that is activating a
00:13:59
innate capacity of ours to deal and to process whatever is going on in the
00:14:06
deepest of the brain in the deepest thought up uh tissue where is trauma uh
00:14:13
present which we haven't learned how to access that first time you got in the
00:14:19
cold water yeah did you react like I react when I get in the cold water now did you
00:14:25
were you h no absolutely not I was surprising and you will go with me later
00:14:32
and you will not go the way you just expressed okay we will go like you will
00:14:37
smile beautifully like you do right now yeah and go with me in there is a moment
00:14:44
that you will feel a little bit of but I'm there we are there you're my
00:14:50
brother you you I'm your uncle I'm your family I want you to feel good I I want
00:14:55
you I I I I'm here to make you strong strong strong it it it means to stay in
00:15:02
the eye of the hurricane when it is when the stress is most when you first got
00:15:08
into the cold water you said it seemed to answer a lot of your spiritual questions yeah oh yeah all what what
00:15:15
spiritual questions did getting in the Cold War to that first time answer all what all what has been propagated by all
00:15:20
the religions all the Asic disciplines and doctrines that Nirvana and
00:15:27
Enlightenment key pra uh whatever they call it uh in name
00:15:34
uh that that is just our mind let's feel strong let's be strong
00:15:40
let's be healthy let's be happy just unconditionally that's what I felt at
00:15:47
that moment this is it and it was not words that came to me it was a pure
00:15:55
opening of my feeling being un corrupted by
00:16:01
thinking for many many years you lived as a squatter was it from 17 to sort of
00:16:07
20 sort of mid 20s that you lived as a squatter 0s you were you best time of my
00:16:13
life having no money whatsoever I was in society living outside of society
00:16:19
outside I had no money I lived off the scraps of the uh the
00:16:25
marketplace and I loved it was a party time was Feast every day with all these
00:16:32
other people who are free thinkers do don't think a time have a have a
00:16:39
sabatical a a a sabatical of this way the system maintains itself through
00:16:46
Paradigm through a certain way of thinking if you just leave it at time
00:16:52
you start to think uh thoughts and emotions are able to emerge without
00:16:59
without this helmet on this heavy helmet which is interrupting your flow your
00:17:06
being your expression and then you you cannot trust that expression you are
00:17:12
lost you're getting lost of who who you are there I was able to
00:17:18
freethink without even thinking about it I played the guitar and the
00:17:23
hallways uh I did yoga all these postes in the in
00:17:30
the courtyards naked and in the winter time I became so
00:17:37
strong if you only let the life force Express itself you become so strong what
00:17:43
is the life force for anybody that doesn't know anybody has it yeah like here and right now if I like I was
00:17:51
talking be before we entered into this podcast 76 years old this man was and he
00:17:58
was suffering uffing from Li limes disease and he wanted to climb to kilamanjaro in record time without
00:18:06
having any experience in in climbing 76 years old limes disease suffering with
00:18:12
that condition doing a mountain which normally is done between five and nine
00:18:17
days fully dressed because up there at 6,000 m is really cold and there is less
00:18:24
than half the oxygen so the cold comes even harder in and there I saw life
00:18:30
force uh his life force was so determined to climb with me an
00:18:37
impossible physiologically impossible task because normally between 5 to n
00:18:43
days he did it a 31 hours 76 years old what what else is that than a life force
00:18:52
you never expected it to be just to take on the challenge he had a deeper feeling
00:18:59
within himself I don't know what I got to do but this guy is saying he wants to climb to Kilimanjaro past the
00:19:06
physiological limits according to science and it I feel I feel something
00:19:12
that is your life force talking to you which wants to free itself he was
00:19:18
suffering from limes disease he was in a system always abiding to everything and
00:19:23
suddenly with an autoimmune disorder he could not control at all
00:19:29
and and there he was so he he felt the same thing as I felt when I was 17 going
00:19:35
into the CT he came with me and he climbed to kilaru in 31 hours not 5 to n
00:19:43
days 31 hours so that is the life force our life force
00:19:50
is capable of so much more than we are used to why don't we know that why don't
00:19:57
we believe that why don't we live our lives with the you know the the opinion
00:20:03
that we can climb the mountain sure because we are let to believe we have to serve into systems that are not
00:20:11
necessarily serving our soul and they so massively
00:20:16
psychologically overwhelming the system the schooling system Etc it's so
00:20:23
overwhelming that we have no way to escape from this narrowing Consciousness
00:20:28
where we got in we think careers make us happy cars make us happy money makes us
00:20:34
happy Fame and name and all makes us happy I was the happiest guy when I was
00:20:40
in the squat having nothing you were you were effectively homeless living just outside yeah yeah yeah a squat is a
00:20:48
place where you have a uh you have electricity and that's it and you got to
00:20:55
pay for the the heater so you had to find find ways to uh uh pay say um what
00:21:02
is it £70 a month and you were living with lots of people in yeah when when you were squatting yeah wow was an
00:21:09
amazing I mean we don't need so much but it has been propagated that we need a
00:21:15
house everybody needs a mortgage and you got to serve that
00:21:20
mortgage you got to go to 9 to5 and we become slaves and slaves of a system
00:21:27
that is in the end creating quite some stress and we are only able to survive not to
00:21:35
express ourselves creatively as who we are and what we are for real what's a
00:21:40
realistic alternative whim I lived in that Society first I lived outside
00:21:46
through living in a squat that was enough for me to have my own identity
00:21:52
connected in my thinking my mind and uh then I went into society it was a
00:21:57
horrible time time because suddenly I had to live in a flat with the kids and
00:22:03
my wife deteriorated mentally and she took her own life in 95 and she jumped
00:22:12
from eight stories down that that that was the the life I was in and the and
00:22:19
Society just go keeps on going like a train it it has no emotion it has no
00:22:25
feeling wh on that you're 22 years old
00:22:30
you're you fall in love yes with a woman you describe as the love of your life oh
00:22:35
that's her yes o oh look at this oh yeah
00:22:41
sweetheart amazing Soul very expressive very talkative to everybody very open
00:22:49
and uh and then into the shadows of her own mind and dysfunctioning of brain
00:22:55
functioning and uh that led to uh her depression and then becoming Manic and
00:23:01
then schizophrenia then uh worse got worse and worse and worse we were 15 years
00:23:09
together you met her in that squat house in the squat house yes yeah amazing yeah
00:23:17
so innocent all very innocent and uh uh
00:23:22
I called her a butterfly Mariposa in Spanish and uh butterfly because she was
00:23:29
everywhere a very light being did I fell in love or Rose in love
00:23:37
I think the last one only the the way her mind got
00:23:45
Disturbed through this yeah is it Society is it the pressure is it a
00:23:50
career is it what is it a demand because this was a light a being of light you
00:23:58
you met her in that squatter house you had two children together yes in the squat and perfectly okay and great and
00:24:06
great we yeah beautiful the those children are right now working with me
00:24:11
we got an international worldwide company yeah when did you realize that
00:24:17
her mental health was
00:24:22
deteriorating yeah probably too late uh uh uh it was a a a a decreasing kind of
00:24:31
uh uh process in her where she was losing the control and uh uh I had no
00:24:39
real means to take care of that she went back uh to uh pmon she was Spanish from
00:24:47
origin and uh she was there with her family she would have been for months on
00:24:53
end with her family and then come back and being mother for two days
00:24:59
and then suddenly collapse and being bad and being very down again and uh yeah
00:25:07
like a burden burdensome but we loved her of course we are trying to
00:25:15
survive where and uh only after the uh
00:25:21
the fourth child you wanted another CH but I said no you have to become better you have to become healthy and and she
00:25:29
said to you you are a bastard that was one month before she took her own life
00:25:35
see uh she kissed her I was working as a mountain guide in the Pines to get some
00:25:44
money and I also loved it I love nature but then uh uh yeah she kissed her uh
00:25:51
the kids could bu before uh jumping down or letting go
00:25:57
from 8 uh story she jumped off an eighth story building yes I mean it almost takes a
00:26:05
lot of courage to do that too you must be very Des desperate if you do a thing
00:26:11
like that and that is something un overcomable the part of me when I was 12
00:26:17
the world is sick depressed the darkness the wars the pollution Etc all that I'm
00:26:23
going to do something about it at that moment I could not I was not able to do
00:26:29
anything so it it turned into a defeat it turned into being me hopeless it
00:26:37
turned me into being depressed but I had no time to be depressed I had to take
00:26:43
care of four children on your own on my own with almost no
00:26:49
money so uh that's that's a actually
00:26:54
where the cult came in not like a negative power power it the cold is
00:27:00
stronger than your mind it than your thinking it makes you the depth of your
00:27:06
brain at work and the depth of your brain is the place the pharmacy it's the
00:27:12
pharmacy the Healer of our uh being which we disconnected from so much
00:27:20
because we go we go for pills medicines or go to doctor if something happens to
00:27:25
us we don't go to ourselves I can't imagine the pain I can't imagine the
00:27:31
pain of you know having the love of my life um a deteriorate um have four kids
00:27:37
with me but then take her own life
00:27:42
grief oh yes the grief had no space yes
00:27:49
the agonizing thinking all day long has its way to uh to burden a person a me
00:27:58
and uh uh uh yeah the only way to break that was going into uh icy
00:28:05
water uh that was yeah I mean at that moment you're just
00:28:11
surviving and that gives you a little little opening of this agonizing
00:28:18
thinking this it's painful it's a a and at that moment you are so overwhelmed by
00:28:26
all that that you now I can talk about it but back then I
00:28:31
was in the middle of it do you remember where you were where you were when you got that phone call yes
00:28:38
uh exactly and U I was doing groups of people uh in the in the mountains so
00:28:46
back then you had these phone booths yeah in on the camping on the camping
00:28:52
where we uh slept and uh with the group and uh there I got uh this phone call uh
00:29:01
the of her brother calling me and uh yeah so it is uh not only shocking you
00:29:09
don't know what to say you cannot even cry the grief comes later the thinking
00:29:17
about it the being able to contemplate about it and have feelings about it
00:29:22
comes only later I cried when I was with
00:29:28
her father with with her father over her dead body then we cried together that
00:29:36
then you can relate You Can Let Go it happens you're not thinking about it it
00:29:41
happens so that's the way it evolves and then but in the back of
00:29:48
my head was was of course my four children it took a burden on us it took
00:29:54
a burden on an inexplicable burden it changed us it traumatized Us in the
00:30:02
depth and that made us uh separate at a certain
00:30:09
moment later on in life now we are all together and it's amazing the chemistry
00:30:16
is better than ever before and uh she her the mother she is like in a an angel
00:30:24
now she's looking over our shoulders and we talk about it we say she yeah she
00:30:30
that it is going so well with us is because she is that back she she is with
00:30:36
us we feel it when you had that conversation with your four children that their mother was gone they were
00:30:44
between seven and 12 years old yes how how do how do you have a conversation
00:30:49
with a seven-year-old or or a 12year old about their mother not being here
00:30:55
anymore exactly that that way I said she is she is
00:31:01
gone her body is gone she she I didn't say she was
00:31:06
dead she is not no longer with us that's what I
00:31:11
said and they got it we are here we are together we're going to we're going to
00:31:17
find life with us mommy is gone yet also
00:31:23
she is here and worked it worked I mean we went on did
00:31:32
they ask
00:31:38
questions of course of course many questions but uh the end uh the the the
00:31:47
questions uh were not as strong as our being
00:31:52
during in life being together uh it's
00:31:58
there where I found the cold to give me all the energy to create a good
00:32:05
atmosphere to at home the nest warmth
00:32:10
playfulness being there light not heavy what is that first step to because
00:32:17
there's so many people that are going through different forms of grief or they have that trauma that you've describe that goes back a long way if they're
00:32:24
listening to this now and they've stumbled this far into the conversation and they're thinking I'm so far away from that whim I'm So Far Away I've got
00:32:31
my shirt and tie on I've got I'm in the city I I know I'm unhappy I can feel it in my bones but I know no other way what
00:32:37
is the first step absolutely the breathing exercises these breathing exercises in
00:32:45
2014 were capable to show just like
00:32:51
scientifically uh hormonally uh looking at the nervous system the depth
00:32:58
uh which we entered with these breathing exercises in this comparative study
00:33:04
showed that we were able to tap into the autonomic nervous system and innate
00:33:09
immune system which was considered to be impossible in signs and now it is there
00:33:16
it's not only the autonomic nervous system and the innate immune system it's
00:33:21
also the ability naturally to solve what is deeply
00:33:28
stored up in our tissue which could not be processed in the moment when it
00:33:34
happened trauma whim I've got some of those studies in front of me I read through all of them um ahead of our
00:33:40
conversation and they are quite frankly um remarkable they're quite frankly remarkable they are uh peer-reviewed
00:33:48
studies that have been published um went through very sort of scientifically rigorous processes to make sure that
00:33:54
they were valid and in these studies we see breakthroughs that I think the past people thought were impossible but if we
00:34:00
just focus in then on that breathing because you you described that as the first step if I have never breathed in
00:34:05
my life I've never done it I've never heard about it I'm a I'm skeptical to it
00:34:10
I think breathing is just something we don't think about
00:34:18
um what do you mean by breathing and what kind of breathing and can you
00:34:23
explain to me like I'm an idiot what it's doing
00:34:31
yeah what it is doing for example I'm uh now busy with cardiologists and they saw
00:34:37
in heart films that if you stop breathing after exhalation for one and a half minute five times more blood flows
00:34:44
into the brain and to the heart this what has never been shown and now it has been shown through these breathing
00:34:51
techniques I mean this really goes so deep we are able to make uh these uh
00:34:59
through these breathing techniques uh change our blood's chemistry uh bring up
00:35:07
the pH levels way up by which the breathing trigger is not happening
00:35:14
because it's depending on the CO2 level in our blood if we breathe
00:35:28
like 30 times like this you become a little bit woie a little bit dizzy why
00:35:33
because the CO2 levels go way down you blow it off carbon dioxide have
00:35:40
we forgotten how to to breathe like that is that is oh yes is that the natural way of breathing no not exactly okay
00:35:46
what what what is exactly is that we uh have forgotten to feel Deep
00:35:54
Emotions uh to be uh in connection with danger danger is a deep
00:36:03
emotion or the cold it's it's deep we avoid these
00:36:10
emotions but they are we are built to receive it to express it and uh with
00:36:18
that comes alive the deeper mechanisms in our body and be if that longterm is
00:36:26
not exercise those deeper mechanisms and among that
00:36:31
is not only the emotion it's also the immune system it becomes weaker we become more
00:36:37
flid we become insensitive look at the insensitivity in our society Gaza is
00:36:44
happening yeah protest is we should stop that [ __ ] we should stop those Wars cuz
00:36:51
kids little kids are here jeopardized and we cannot even feel it anymore you
00:36:58
know that this insensitivity in US is a is a plague is a plague because we serve
00:37:04
a system that runs well on people being obedient and being flaccid not really
00:37:11
sensitive because if you are really sensitive you don't go to a to a slave
00:37:16
job every every day and come back stressed and the other day you do it
00:37:22
again and again again again what we should do within our eles is learning
00:37:28
how to connect into the depth and this is what I give through the C we bring
00:37:34
these deeper emotions alive and then you will not abide to that what makes you
00:37:41
weak to that what kills your purpose we
00:37:46
got to stand up as humanity and more more now than ever and here we are and
00:37:52
uh whim how do you do that very simple do this breathing techniques do it on
00:38:00
your bed on a sofa or very controlled because
00:38:05
you will go past your conditioned mind and body the the shallow breathing we do
00:38:12
we say that is breathing that's not breathing that is automatic reflex of
00:38:18
your body doing something and there it is now you take
00:38:23
over consciously you start to breathe deeper you go past these
00:38:29
patterns depicted by a conditioned body and that conditioning is only serving
00:38:35
the system but not necessarily you I want you to take over the steer wheel I want you to be conscious and then go
00:38:44
with that conscious into deeper breathing break the patterns of your conditioning and suddenly uh your uh
00:38:52
deeper traumas your deeper feelings are able to come to the surface is being
00:38:58
stored up being stashed away forever and and that is what is happening in the
00:39:06
first session we do I I can promise any any person uh who
00:39:14
is doing it will encounter a such a tremendous experience of himself from
00:39:22
the depth coming to the surface and that's only the depth coming to the servant that's all and it's beautiful
00:39:30
I'm so intrigued as to as to how that happens so CU I've had lots of friends that
00:39:35
are very um focused on breathing using your techniques obviously I told you before we started recording my partner
00:39:41
runs a breath work studio called barley breath work where she has committed her life to using the breath to heal people
00:39:48
but I I'd like someone to explain to me you know how if I take hold of the steering wheel and I go past those sort
00:39:54
of unconscious breathing um patterns why does that unlock trauma
00:40:00
because when I go to my when I um have been to my partner's breath work sessions when they end people are
00:40:06
talking about very deep forms of trauma that they've suddenly encountered and I'm wondering how is the breath doing
00:40:12
that how is the breath unlocking that stuff what is where is it hidden you know I don't understand the breaths
00:40:17
connection to our trauma so traumas are a stored Up chemistry it's unprocessed
00:40:26
it's when a experience happens and you cannot deal with it you can't process it you don't understand it's being stashed
00:40:32
away and it becomes biochemical stored up uh stored up capacity of the body is
00:40:40
simply there in our deeper tissue but our conditioned mind and body is not
00:40:46
able to get into that depth just by thinking yes but that we are thinking
00:40:52
too much and uh we know something is wrong inside but we cannot connect with
00:40:58
that now if we change the patterns we normally go into with our breathing and
00:41:05
thinking which goes paed which controls our heart it's conditioning H if we are into
00:41:13
that conditioning and we start simply and that makes it so beautiful that it
00:41:18
is so simple and uh H how it uh uh then
00:41:24
uh suddenly is able to get into this Tau to regulate our mood in the depth is by
00:41:33
a cab cannaboid receptors the last study we did is a landmark study Landmark
00:41:41
study done by Professor DBU divar in Detroit and it shows that the
00:41:47
cannabinoid receptors are a part of the Salient Network the Salient network is that what
00:41:55
makes all the networks in the brain work together and uh with that we get a hold
00:42:02
of H areas we normally don't have connection to so what the breathing does
00:42:11
in the depth is activating the connectors in the body called
00:42:16
cannabinoid receptors by which uh deeper
00:42:21
uh realities of our uh physiology uh open up and that is a natural thing to
00:42:30
happen when we are in peace no longer in the trauma in the accident no now we are
00:42:36
in peace now we should be able to work out what has been stored up that is a
00:42:42
natural capacity of ours to do that but we have never learned in our society in
00:42:48
our schooling how to do it and not even in Psychiatry they give you pills and
00:42:55
they give you medicines that's makes a lot of money but it doesn't solve the
00:43:00
problem people become catatonic people become my wife too after treatment in
00:43:06
Psychiatry the first wife she became her eyes like like a zombie yeah a zombie
00:43:14
this is a blasphemy this is scandalous in Psychiatry that they keep on doing
00:43:19
that now I get a lot of psychiatrists uh a cognitive
00:43:24
psychologists about cognitive therapist and they say when the cognitive therapies have no solution anymore we do
00:43:32
breathing and it it just brings solution so it is simple so effective but it
00:43:40
doesn't make money it it makes people
00:43:47
understand I feel so much better how is that possible and that that's simply that how
00:43:55
it works we just did The Landmark study with the
00:44:01
compelling findings that we actually found
00:44:06
interception interceptive Focus suddenly being able to regulate our mood emotion
00:44:14
much better so we are able to listen if we listen to our body and we feel bad we
00:44:20
can change that we uh we found now the key how to do that first of all you do
00:44:26
the breathing called of course called training not too
00:44:31
much never too much just relax we are very capable to even take
00:44:39
like Patrice Eva who was completely hating it because of his when he was
00:44:48
young he got it as a punishment you have to take it nice and good and open up to
00:44:54
the Natural capacity to take it on he will was the best absolute best taken on
00:45:00
icy water for 16 minutes he was in and he wanted to stay there in and BBC was
00:45:09
like oh no this is too dangerous please come out yeah yeah you have no you have to come out patri okay okay and he was
00:45:17
just walking out and you know what I felt his skin he was not even called so
00:45:23
just for context is that power that's that power it's so simple for people
00:45:28
that don't know Patrice is a good friend of mine Patrice ever he's been on this podcast before and um he he told me that
00:45:34
whims techniques had really changed his life especially his relationship with cold water he was like me he told
00:45:40
himself that because of his I don't know his race where he came from his DNA he wasn't able to spend time in cold water
00:45:47
but I think what he discovered through whim was that that was actually a trauma because when he was younger his father
00:45:53
used cold water as a punishment so he had this trauma with cold water and after doing your uh program and spending
00:45:58
time with you he was the very very best at staying in cold water and when I was with him recently was amazing he he
00:46:05
jumped in that cold water without flinching you know and he told me that throughout his entire Manchester United playing career he was always the one
00:46:12
that never got into the um the the cold recovery plunge pools at Manchester United after the game he always avoided
00:46:18
it and he just wishes he wishes that he knew what he knows now about the power of cold water because then he would have
00:46:24
been able to recover better as a as a player that's that's what he told me I have the I have the study here in front of me that you described there I think
00:46:30
it's the um the Michigan brain over body study that was the first study and then
00:46:35
came a second study uh the first study I was compared to
00:46:40
74 test subjects per people and they were all going into the uh having a a
00:46:49
profusion vest what is been used in when firefighters go into the work they have
00:46:56
a cold water going through a perfusion vest full of tubes so it's a vest where
00:47:04
they pump cold water yes okay so they are able to endure the heat of the fire
00:47:09
better okay to fight the fire so they took that into uh body scans fmri scans
00:47:18
and uh pump cold water into these vests while the people were
00:47:24
Motionless In These FM and so every time when the cold water
00:47:31
was pumped in uh the body's uh uh skin temperature would go
00:47:38
down and uh and then warmed up again a skin temperature going up and
00:47:45
that correlates in the brain with stress and uh uh uh and those stress
00:47:53
mechanisms then when the cold is being pumped in is very clearly seen on the
00:47:59
monitor of these people who connected the people with electrodes you could see it on the
00:48:05
monitor the way the brain was being activated oh these are the stress mechanisms and now is the warmth oh now
00:48:12
is the uh the areas of well-being of the brain H activated insula and the and the
00:48:20
and the per aqueductal gray whatever the names I I call it a
00:48:26
the the positive and the negative registration of uh of stress and or
00:48:33
well-being yeah those parts and they nobody could change that what if we
00:48:41
could make the feeling well part of the brain at work when the stress comes in
00:48:48
so what if we could feel choose to feel good when stress comes ah this was never
00:48:54
been shown in psychiatry so they had this
00:48:59
experimental uh module there and then uh nobody could
00:49:04
make a different brain scan possible when stress comes in through the cold
00:49:10
being pumped in to the skin then stress part of the brain is activated nobody
00:49:18
could make that not go uh activated not
00:49:23
go away and I could I didn't feel the cult
00:49:28
when it came in because I warmed up my body willfully nobody believed that was
00:49:34
possible um until until you did it I want to just recount that the first
00:49:39
study which was done and published in 2018 it was carried out at Wayne State University in Michigan and scientists
00:49:45
looked at the way that the body and the Brain reacted to changes in temperature whenever anyone feels the cold um they
00:49:51
typically have a auto automatic bodily response um but also you can see that
00:49:56
that response in the brain the narrowing of blood vessels to protect organs uh increased energy and and pain signals so
00:50:03
to test whether you could control that um those responses to the cold scientists created a full body suit in
00:50:10
which they would pump cold or warm water into your into your body on normal test subjects their skin temperature would
00:50:17
rise and fall with the change in water temperature which is what you'd expect when whim underwent the experiment
00:50:23
without his breathing techniques his skin temperature changes were very similar to the normal people however
00:50:29
when he used the breathing and meditation techniques he kept a sustained skin temperature of 34° over
00:50:38
25 minutes which was never thought to be humanly possible when he was put in a
00:50:44
pet scan to see what was happening inside his body scientists saw that the intercostal muscles which is the muscles
00:50:50
between your ribs were burning a lot of glucose and releasing heat into your body which was keeping your body warm
00:50:56
when looking at whims brain scientists saw that it didn't have the same unconscious reaction to the cold as
00:51:02
normal people's brains did his breathing technique engaged the sympathetic
00:51:07
nervous system releasing adrenaline and triggered the area of the brain stem which is that um area you describing
00:51:12
before aqueductal gry hemisphere that perceives pain the triggering of the brain stem released cannaboids and
00:51:20
opioids and these chemicals gave a sense of well-being and reduced anxiety and
00:51:26
this study showed that whim had control over the autonomous nervous um autonomous systems of the brain and the
00:51:31
brain's automatic responses to the cold the results of this study have been uh tremendous and they have proven the
00:51:38
massive potential implications for the IM immune system disorders like diabetes Ms and arthritis in Psychiatry so it the
00:51:45
TDR of that is the study really proved that the stress we encounter throughout
00:51:51
our lives we do have control over it we have control over the impact it has on our physiological
00:51:57
systems but also you know our brain and how we experience it because you were able to not experience cold yes the pain
00:52:03
of cold the stress of c and it was not about the cold it was about how to deal
00:52:09
with stress stress can come in many ways emotionally physically spiritually it
00:52:16
can come in many ways in the end it is biochemical stress it it turns into
00:52:21
biochemistry neurotoxins Etc it accumulates it gets in the body
00:52:27
creates blockages it it drains and you don't know what to do with it and and then medicines come in and pills and it
00:52:35
only deteriorates it it gets worse and and that besides of the side effects
00:52:41
thing is I used the cult back when I was
00:52:47
with my wife who died to get my emotional Agony out of the
00:52:55
way and uh it was the doorway to open up my healing my spiritual healing of me as
00:53:03
a puppy of my children just to be happy with them and to provide energy and
00:53:11
well-being without this traumatizing Darkness around us so I
00:53:18
found it through the cult yet it is not about the cold it's about that I
00:53:24
regained Mastery over my to bring back my emotion
00:53:29
uninterrupted cuz we should be able to guide our emotional state of being
00:53:35
anytime when we feel bad naturally naturally and that that that is what
00:53:41
this shows and now upon this study they did another study and then they saw even
00:53:48
without me now people can do this and that's what I wanted that is
00:53:55
the study Landmark study being done last January published so that's TW 24 and uh
00:54:05
six years past the covid and all H and now they see compelling evidence to keep
00:54:13
on and to make these studies much bigger because their potential is that we found
00:54:20
to key called intercep interception to be so strong
00:54:27
that we are able to control our emotional
00:54:32
well-being throughout whatever stress there is but it's not just our emotional
00:54:38
well-being it's also our immune system of course that goes also with it I isn't
00:54:44
a a healthy person a happy person kind of you know isn't it interrelated I want to just highlight
00:54:51
this because this for me when I heard this many years ago I thought this was uh I thought this couldn't possibly be
00:54:56
true but in 2010 um when you were 51 years old you took part in a study at Rand bound
00:55:02
University Medical Center in the Netherlands where you were injected with a a bacterial toxin a dead straight of
00:55:10
ecoli in previous studies of a 100 healthy people they responded to that injection with a flu like response which
00:55:17
is what you'd expect you'd get the flu if you were injected with that however when when you were injected with that uh
00:55:25
bacterial toxin uh you had no negative immune response apart from a minor
00:55:32
headache your but blood results also showed the release of cortisol adrenaline and the messenger messenger
00:55:38
chemical il10 which is an anti-inflammatory pro protein all of
00:55:43
which helped you to fight off that bacteria uh however to prove that this
00:55:49
wasn't just you being some superhuman scientists gathered 30 male volunteers
00:55:55
12 were put into a control Group which meant that they were just normal and 18 were trained by you uh you took 18 of
00:56:02
them to Poland for 4 days to train them on meditation cold exposure annual breathing techniques and when they were
00:56:08
injected with the um bacterial toxin uh the dead strain of ecoli the trained
00:56:14
group had a significantly less immune response recovered quicker and their bodily responses were similar to your
00:56:21
own this was a major scientific breakthrough and it showed people could voluntarily control
00:56:26
their automatic nervous system and immune response which was previously thought to
00:56:31
be impossible and that's the viewer the viewer is looking at this now that's you
00:56:38
and and that's where we want to reach out to you have the uh uh absolute
00:56:44
capacity to rule so much better within your own body and I'm I'm I'm doing the
00:56:51
science I'm following the science and I think it's scandalous of the scientific
00:56:56
Community not to have Dove upon this why don't we is it because it's difficult no
00:57:03
it's not difficult it's not now like I don't know over the 100 million people
00:57:09
are doing this but through the scientific World which is uh also in the
00:57:15
beginning of this conversation it's corrupted they get funding from the pharmaceutical industry and that's all
00:57:22
good Etc I'm not messing with them uh but natural ways that could equalize the
00:57:30
results of medicines without side effects should at least have a thorough
00:57:37
examination by the scientific uh Elite world can I just I want to make sure I'm
00:57:43
super clear on what's going on here and what to achieve these phenomenal results
00:57:49
um by by having a sort of doing some of these techniques that help us to unlock
00:57:56
the the stress and the trauma that's deep in our body and that enable us to
00:58:03
create a better response with stress we're able to guard off the stress which means we're able to protect
00:58:09
our well-being which m means that we're able to fend off disease because we all know that when we're highly stressed our
00:58:15
immune system Falls and we get sick I know in my own life whenever I'm really stressed is the only time that I'll ever get a cold or or anything like that is
00:58:22
that is that the simple way of describing what's going on here yeah yes yes we have this innate capacity to
00:58:30
heighten our buffer zone uh toward uh stress by which stress is not able to do
00:58:37
its damage and is part of the problem with the modern way of living that we've
00:58:43
chosen medication as the answer too often and we've also made our lives as stress free
00:58:48
as we possibly can absolutely absolutely there is no doubt about it and it is a dead end street by the way and the whole
00:58:56
Health Care system is B burdened by the the finances and all it's it's going to
00:59:03
collapse anyway if it keeps on going but because it is a money-making uh way uh
00:59:10
that's why they will keep on going until it collapses I had professor friedr in Mar
00:59:18
thebook on the line uh talking about he said to me whim the
00:59:27
democracy the Democracy as we know it actually is uh at Peril in danger why
00:59:34
because the people are becoming so weak and we the democracy is only uh
00:59:42
composed by the strength of the people once we get all weaker and a a system
00:59:49
which is corrupt just to uh make money a healthy economy on
00:59:56
people that wants to stay that way makes the people weaker and weaker by which
01:00:03
the Democracy will know its ant will collapse and I said hey that weakness in
01:00:11
the Democracy in people I can make it go away in one
01:00:20
week simply sense talking to this professor and he he agreed because he
01:00:26
saw it he saw it in the people he knew it he he knew it from anecdotal evidence
01:00:33
he knew it from his family taking up these crazy whm Hof techniques going
01:00:38
into call Wim Hof whatever is a brand name I'm a simple guy I know what it is
01:00:44
to have nothing at all to be a nobody and now I got a name and fame and all
01:00:51
that I don't care it's okay if I got to stand up I will and I will say hey here
01:00:57
I am whim Hof the Iceman and I will change the world how through making you better than who you think you could be
01:01:06
and that is through the Wim Hof method and fasting is good
01:01:11
too to deprive yourself in different ways hor matically that is
01:01:18
self-inflicted acute stressful exercise but do it consciously if you
01:01:23
don't go to the cult the cult will come to you you if you don't go to dist stress the stress will come to you cuz
01:01:29
we are built to endure we are built we got these capacities so if we go into
01:01:35
the cult you will see that there your whole body is able to handle stress so
01:01:43
much better and when you know you are going into a stressful uh event of any
01:01:50
kind you know willfully to connect yourself make your body from the inside
01:01:56
so strong that the stress out there is no problem there's three elements to
01:02:01
this whim Hoff method there's three pillars to the method the first is that conscious breathing so let's just make
01:02:07
sure we've covered that off if I want to be able to just do this at home if I'm listening now and I'm in my car or I'm
01:02:13
walking the dog or whatever I'm on a plane what is what is the sort of key
01:02:18
parts of doing the breathing technique correctly yes do it safe yeah so never
01:02:25
outside where you can lose control okay you know when you drive and you lose control that's no good when you are in a
01:02:33
swimming pool you lose control h that's no good H when you are at an Abus and
01:02:38
you lose control no good you know wherever your motoric uh uh uh Power is
01:02:45
needed to be in control don't do it there therefore we say
01:02:51
strictly this is a powerful medicinal therapeutic
01:02:56
uh exercise through breathing specific breathing uh patterns we take on if for
01:03:04
example we are sitting now yeah it's safe to do it here yeah even if you faint now then yeah you would maybe fall
01:03:12
here on the ground is a soft uh uh carpet here there no problem okay
01:03:20
so relax it's a this is also these moments when you okay relax I'm I'm now
01:03:28
turning myself into myself because I'm going to breathe deeper I'm going to go past my normal uh control mode normal
01:03:36
conditioning normal thinking so okay am I here yes I'm
01:03:43
here okay here we go we have a belly we have a chest that those uh muscles are
01:03:51
connected to the lungs so use your belly and use your uh
01:03:57
chest to inhale
01:04:03
fully you can go through your mouth through your nose as you feel how do I know if I'm doing it correctly with my
01:04:08
belly yeah
01:04:20
just so two breaths in yeah and at a certain moment becomes
01:04:37
one keep on going fully in as deep as possible and Let It Go just Let It Go
01:04:45
and then fully in again as deep as possible let it
01:04:52
go all in and Let It
01:05:00
Go and all in Let It Go the Mind goes with a breath
01:05:10
fully in Let It
01:05:15
Go and all in Let It
01:05:21
Go we are blowing keep on going for in blowing of the CO2 carbon
01:05:29
dioxide can become a little bit DIY but that's okay your body is charging up
01:05:36
it's changing your blood chemistry is
01:05:43
changing you may your pH levels go up in
01:05:48
your blood we do 10 more fully in just follow the breath
01:05:57
whatever feels different breathe into it Let It
01:06:03
Go and all in Let it go this morning at 5:00 I was
01:06:10
doing this because I Was preparing to be freed in my biochemistry of any [ __ ] and
01:06:18
this is cleansing the biochemistry trauma anything anything that is deeply
01:06:23
in is being CLE yeah five more Let It
01:06:29
Go fully in Let It Go all
01:06:36
in Let It Go all in Let it
01:06:43
go last one hold in let it go and stop after the
01:06:51
exhalation close your mouth no breathing no need your pH levels are way up
01:06:59
there's no need for breathing what is going to happen is what I was saying
01:07:04
mentioning before after one minute and there is no need for breathing because the breathing
01:07:11
trigger depends on co2 CO2 is blown off you are biohacking your
01:07:20
body you're going deep you're going past the condition
01:07:26
mind and body you're going deeper in the tissue now you're entering into the
01:07:33
deepest part of your brain it's going to shoot out adrenaline
01:07:40
epinephrine the adrenal axis is now in activation now slowly but
01:07:48
surely five times more blood will flow into your brain and your heart you feel
01:07:54
peaceful you have it fully in control yet the deepest of your mechanisms and the
01:08:00
deepest of your brain are at work right now and because you are doing it you are
01:08:05
connecting with those mechanisms that's the way we learn to
01:08:11
gain control over these mechanisms and you're still without breathing even
01:08:17
normally you you you would die like yeah breathing breathing you're
01:08:23
peaceful you're completely in control over your parasympathetic nervous system
01:08:29
which is deep autonomic nervous system level and you are in control right now
01:08:36
this is where trauma is starting to release five 4 3 2 1 now you take a full
01:08:46
breath in hold it and press it to your head
01:08:52
press it to your head press it to your head this is
01:08:57
subliminal cerebral spinal fluid to your head it's flushing in and all brain 100%
01:09:05
neural Activity 3 2 1 let it
01:09:11
go good if we go into a next round you will be able to go say for two minutes
01:09:19
without breathing then 2 and 1/2 minutes then 3 minutes after exhalation
01:09:27
it is it cannot be something else than a regaining a control deeper than ever
01:09:33
before thought possible and this is what we have shown this is where the bacteria suddenly had no
01:09:39
chance the virus has no chance why is it that the world doesn't know about this
01:09:47
why is it that the scientific world is not examining this as a beneficial
01:09:53
therapeutical power to battle all the diseases we got because aren't we built
01:10:00
with an immune system that shoot Hal virus bacteria uh inflammation
01:10:07
it is but it is never at way because this is deeper than our conditioned body and mind and this is the way to get a
01:10:16
hold of that it feels so I feel very different in every in every sense of the word I feel when I came back into the
01:10:22
room it all felt very it almost felt a little bit like I just woken up but it
01:10:28
also I was a little you know it was a little bit of it was very peaceful peaceful and I was very um when I came
01:10:34
back into the room I felt very focused nice I felt like I this is the last study I did with 540 people in Australia
01:10:42
it shows uh that this uh um this uh
01:10:48
method is compared to meditation and mindfulness Works a whole lot better how
01:10:55
did you learn this where did you learn this by intuition you remember the
01:11:00
mother who made me uh uh become a missionary become a seeker
01:11:07
and then I found the cold water what does the cold water do first time you go into cold
01:11:13
water you learn to breathe deep and that makes all the change at a certain moment
01:11:19
I became aware that if I was breathing deeper slowly and deep slowly and deep I
01:11:26
was able to endure the cold much longer that means that if we go into deeper
01:11:34
breathing we are able to activate deeper mechanisms that are able to make us a
01:11:40
lot stronger and that translates to life yeah translates to everyday life I want
01:11:46
to get on to the cold water which is the sort of second pillar of the Wim Hof method but the third pillar I find
01:11:52
really interesting as well which is the power of the Mind exactly what do you
01:11:58
mean by this the power of the mind you're telling me that I can do things to my mind to make my mind stronger and
01:12:05
more resilient oh yes oh yes what do you mean by the power of the Mind the first of all we just recently did this new
01:12:13
study it's coming out now um it's into submitting and they did it with 540
01:12:20
people so meditation and mindfulness is about the mind isn't it to bring anxiety
01:12:27
down to bring stress down this method works better than mindfulness and
01:12:35
meditation which is in the corporate world but also in the wellness industry uh overall and also therapeutically in
01:12:42
the health Mental Health Care uh yeah systems uh being accept accepted and uh
01:12:52
implemented and used as a therap therapeutical means so this works better
01:13:02
uh the stress resilience goes way up stress experience goes way down and the
01:13:10
cognitive awareness goes also way up is what you just said and uh this was only
01:13:17
one round imagine if you do four rounds you will go so deep that's yeah
01:13:24
unprecedent enter deep where you will go and things can come to the surface never
01:13:30
been stashed away you never knew of or we're not aware of at all this is all
01:13:36
blocking our awareness and now when it's getting out of the way then suddenly our awareness
01:13:44
becomes bigger brighter nicer more flow more receptive more sharper clearer and
01:13:53
all and uh that that is part of a system that suddenly
01:14:00
is able to override our conditioning so our conditioning is a
01:14:07
conditioning wherein deeper mechanisms are not really at work but we are able
01:14:13
to function in this Society system Etc but not necessarily we are connected
01:14:19
with the depth of our selves and when trauma happens or emotion start to be
01:14:26
not nice we don't know what to do with that now the power of the mind is very
01:14:32
simple through doing this you learn to override to create a different
01:14:38
conditioned mind and body relationship and suddenly opens up a new
01:14:45
terrain a new capacity in the brain to connect with and that is
01:14:50
interoception interoception interoception interception and and with
01:14:55
that we suddenly learn to control uh and to command our bodies a
01:15:01
vessel of our emotions of our sensations of or whatever we experience that's our
01:15:08
body but when it feels bad we don't know what to do and now we found a way to go
01:15:15
past that conditioned State and we found a new way in the brain and get a hold of
01:15:21
that which is there naturally to control control whatever is going wrong to
01:15:27
re-regulate it to rebalance it to reset it to make our bad feelings emotions uh
01:15:35
disease Etc make it go away in our Command that is the power of the mind
01:15:43
which is a natural capacity of ours which should be revealed past uh the
01:15:50
system way of thinking and be brought into SE secondary school or or even when
01:15:57
kids are very young that they are able to depict their own happiness strength
01:16:03
and health is part of the building up the power of the Mind
01:16:09
becoming stepping into personal responsibility and stepping away from victimhood yes because victimhood is no
01:16:15
longer needed responsibility is there where we have the ability to respond and this is these
01:16:24
are the tools then suddenly we feel we got the stair wheel in our hand how do
01:16:29
you train someone though to stop being a victim in their own life in one in one session how just do this breathing yeah
01:16:37
and then uh we go into the ice birth yeah they suddenly feel
01:16:43
power sorry that I'm yelling you can yell yeah it's power people feel the
01:16:51
being silent in that ice bath oh overcoming all that stress and suddenly
01:16:57
feel that they are on top of it and they are suddenly able to go past this
01:17:02
concept of this dangerous cold power energy coming to No Control this anxiety
01:17:11
is suddenly they got a halt complete halt over that and with that comes that
01:17:17
Paradigm that always thought of that to be impossible to control Suddenly It's a
01:17:22
piece of cake that that is then turning into a a a domino effect a Cascade of uh
01:17:31
uh feelings of hey if I can do that I can do that I can do that I can do that so you can build personal
01:17:38
responsibility by taking control of the cold and not oh absolutely and in just one day okay well guess what whim
01:17:47
upstairs I have two ice baths I've always been bad with the cold always
01:17:53
it's a story I've told myself for my entire life so seeing as you're here and seeing as I just happened to have two
01:17:59
ice baths upstairs could we go upstairs and get in those ice baths and you can teach me how
01:18:05
to master the cold so the cold no longer Masters me follow me on this I'm I'm just a a
01:18:13
brother of another mother in this yeah we are like family family people have
01:18:20
the capacity to transmit their energy M it's logical it's it's nothing woa it's
01:18:28
real and you will feel it's real today here in the ice just follow me there in
01:18:36
and very soon you take the reins over you yourself let's do it
01:18:44
okay okay so when we've got uh two ice baths here is there a certain
01:18:49
temperature they need to be does it matter no this this is the right temp temperature very
01:18:58
cold yeah so so so so talk me through what we're going to do and how we're going to
01:19:04
prepare is there a way I I want to do one minute horse St with you I've not done this before so you need to coach me
01:19:10
through yeah your voice I want to hear you yeah
01:19:26
why are we doing this because you're going to go into the ice and then you feel why okay because it's feeling got
01:19:35
to go into your feeling now okay so command your body to feel
01:19:42
strong mhm yeah mhm we bring happiness strength and health to the whole wide
01:19:48
world MH yes mhm okay command yourself to be strong this is a
01:19:57
to see if you are able to commence your body from the inside to be strong MH
01:20:04
right mhm so let's go in mhm
01:20:10
sorry stay with your breath we are friends come on we show the world from
01:20:17
the inside is the power let the body do what the body is capable of long out
01:20:26
breath long out breath long out you're doing good look
01:20:35
at hey you didn't think this one like this yet you're doing
01:20:40
good yeah it let your body do what the body is capable of it takes about 20
01:20:47
seconds more then then your body is adapting from the inside means that the
01:20:54
hormone system suddenly has found a way to oppose the
01:20:59
impact and that makes your body strong that makes your immune system on that
01:21:04
makes your emotions being within your control the deepest part of the brain
01:21:13
now is within because you are doing it is within your command and that is
01:21:21
reestablishing natural power of us this is what we are going to bring to the
01:21:27
whole wide of world because we love the people and we bring happiness strength
01:21:34
and health no it's power this is power but silent
01:21:40
nice how simple it can be I'm not a sorcerer or something or a magician life
01:21:49
is Magic yes let's get to life look at
01:21:54
he was afraid of the cold hey the cold is not mine I'm got a warm body it's
01:22:00
just not mine look at them now you can't buy
01:22:05
this you can obtain this happiness health and strength you can obtain it
01:22:12
you just go to the cold and the cold doesn't come to you did you have done it
01:22:17
yeah yeah I love it what what time of the day do you do it in the in the morning in the morning and how long
01:22:23
would you sit in here in the morning sometimes I stay I had a birthday when I
01:22:29
became 60 I thought I'm going to show the world that I'm [ __ ] strong sorry
01:22:34
for the French but I'm going to stay 60 Minutes in the in the icy water and I had happy
01:22:42
times and 61 I did 61 minutes 62 I did 62 minutes 63 I had 63 and when I became
01:22:51
64 I thought that's boring no going to do this anymore yeah you your nature is on
01:23:00
inside and that's the whole message and with that comes the a strengthened
01:23:06
immune system a strengthened cardiovascular system cardiovascular
01:23:12
related issues is killer number one in our
01:23:17
society through this it's gone this the way to tackle it
01:23:23
connection with the depth of the brain the deepest part of the brain and if you are able to go to the deepest part where
01:23:31
else can you not go so if I did this once a day you think I'd be better equipped to deal with the
01:23:38
stress of work and the stress of Life yeah of course man and you don't need to go this
01:23:46
long into an eyes bath two three minutes is enough I we''ve been in six minutes it
01:23:54
it doesn't feel cold anymore though I actually feel a bit warm funly enough my legs feel like they're warm but I don't
01:24:00
know if that's just from my body shutting down or something yeah okay I think it now there time
01:24:07
enough come louder you did it come
01:24:12
on down amazing thank you so much it was so
01:24:17
interesting the first um the first 20 seconds of that process are so fascinating because I had to conf a lot
01:24:24
of things I had to confront a lot of natural reactions that told me to stop
01:24:30
to get out to you know my body went into like a phase of panic and it's funny because as I reflect on that feeling of
01:24:36
like Panic it was like a wall and it was a wall that I had to make a decision
01:24:42
about going through or going backwards and I say this because I think in a lot
01:24:48
of Our Lives we're surrounded by these walls and it's in many of our Lives
01:24:53
actually the walls kind of close in on us and what I learned in the first sort of 20 seconds of that process was that
01:24:59
that wall was something I created myself it was a figment of my imagination and as I sat there for what five six
01:25:06
minutes my body almost said to me it was like sorry I was lying I was lying to
01:25:12
you something was lying because five six minutes in I'm completely fine yeah but
01:25:18
in that first 20 seconds some Panic signal went off and told me to retreat and so I just find that so fascinating
01:25:24
it's like there's something about breaking through a wall mhm that you once really believed was
01:25:30
real that illuminates your mind to the what other kind of self-limiting beliefs
01:25:36
you're currently constrained by in everyday life you know I could I
01:25:41
couldn't say it better uh self-limiting uh belief uh beliefs coming in at a
01:25:48
certain moment become blockages become patterns become condition and that
01:25:54
conditioning uh withholds us from going through uh things when they come to our
01:26:00
lives because they are too stressful they are uh uh mirroring that what we uh
01:26:07
through our self- believing uh limiting uh way of thinking have created then we
01:26:12
see it outside and we don't go in it we don't go through it anymore and thus we
01:26:18
don't find uh uh these things in our lives anymore to uh
01:26:25
as life's lessons it's no longer there and and there we limit ourselves and
01:26:31
become narrowed so what we have found now through these uh practices that we
01:26:38
are able to command our bodies so much better to go through the self-limiting
01:26:46
self H disc conditioning because in most of the time it is uh that we get
01:26:52
schooled that we have to follow rules ethics morals Etc at a certain moment we
01:26:59
got a belief system that is not necessarily who we are in the depth and
01:27:05
this is where this Society is suffering uh big time of having no
01:27:12
connection with this invisible purpose of ours which is there but we it's
01:27:20
behind the wall and simply through doing this you see you have the power to go
01:27:28
through these walls you have the power to uh become exactly who you are and
01:27:34
what you are that is what the C is showing it doesn't show what what you
01:27:41
think it shows you who you are and what you are and from there you will see that
01:27:47
the walls in your life of whatever invisibly what stalking you will
01:27:55
disappear is this in part why it seems like a lot of people in society right now are choosing discomfort because you
01:28:02
know we've got kind of gone one way as a society we've gone to comfort and then you've got this counter movement of people that are now doing Ma ultra
01:28:09
marathon runs and they're cold plunging and they're they're doing things to put themselves in intentional discomfort it
01:28:16
seems like it's for me it's I've observed it like a counter movement yes
01:28:22
and it is and and it is but H the the thing is H now that we are showing in
01:28:29
signs with the professor Vibe of divar mostly in Auto music uh that we found a
01:28:38
key and the key is the innate capacity of ours to command our bodies much
01:28:44
better in our emotions because in the end it's not about going into the extremes it's about handling our emotion
01:28:52
and to feel that we are on top of it no matter what and that being able to pass
01:29:00
on to our children the way reactionary it
01:29:07
all we go into these extremes and all that is a that is a reaction of our uh
01:29:17
massive Paradigm encountering too much comfort now hey let's go to that but
01:29:24
that's reactionary human is it that we actually uh are here to uh learn to have
01:29:32
a uh Hal absolute Hal over our emotion
01:29:37
which is directly connected to our purpose because from the beginning or uh
01:29:44
it the problem the conflict is the conflict with our soul and our soul is
01:29:51
about when we realize our soul and the unlimited power of the of the Mind
01:29:57
serving us to find realization of that soul and that is for every person unique
01:30:04
what are the other things that are like Staples of your daily routine eat once a
01:30:09
day you eat once a day yeah okay so you you wake so can you run me through a a
01:30:15
perfect whm Hof day yeah in the morning uh I wake up uh next to my wife and my
01:30:21
child the my youngest is uh is six and
01:30:27
actually there's a new one coming I'm 65 but hey man I'm alive I'm sorry and I
01:30:35
got a yeah I found a younger woman eight and a half years ago we are very happy
01:30:42
together and she says don't talk about it and I'm sorry but I'm very happy my
01:30:50
oldest son is 42 and my youngest is going to be zero very soon so that's
01:30:58
life I wake up and I I look at my beloveds next to me still sleeping and
01:31:06

split I want to do a world record by the way in three third of August in Germany
01:31:57
with 4,000 people doing this and do you use weights or anything yeah a yeah use
01:32:02
weights before not okay I I did push-ups it's like weight yeah your own weight so
01:32:10

01:32:18
weight on MH you do this it's about 10K yeah I make it Circle mhm like a stick
01:32:26
if you do that 500 times
01:32:31
it's you really go deep you go to your pain I if I do exercises I I do it to
01:32:39
the threshold of pain and then I overcome the
01:32:44
pain then it's then it's okay that is body awareness that body awareness I want to
01:32:52
know feel feel that I live not know feel that I I'm
01:32:58
alive when's that first meal of the day uh later later in the day so no
01:33:03
breakfast no no no no breakfast no lunch why no lunch because I I feel stuffed
01:33:09
up I feel too much this is also part of conditioning I could also enjoy a very
01:33:16
nice breakfast very nice breakfast is very nice you know with the sea and sitting
01:33:23
there relax wow some eggs some this some that nice coffee hello how are you the
01:33:32
newspaper or look at the phone it's enjoying life I I could do that but I I
01:33:41
really enjoy the feeling that I'm fasting inside a little that that I'm going
01:33:48
against like the cold if you go to the cold then the cold doesn't come to you
01:33:53
yeah when when the appetite comes I just DeLay So you fast for you're doing some
01:33:59
sort of intermittent fasting there as they call it you're you're going yeah but I I I did this since I was a young
01:34:06
kid again intuition yeah intuition it's just how you felt yes because the external narrative is you got to have
01:34:12
three meals a day maybe four meals a day you've got to have breakfast you know lunch dinner no no no yeah that's just
01:34:18
just made up it's made up uh you should feel like any any
01:34:23
animal in the world is not eating when it doesn't need to eat because it
01:34:29
doesn't think it only eats when it feels and when it feels that it needs to eat
01:34:37
his eyes become bigger becoming more alert adrenaline starts to run they
01:34:43
become sharper they then all the systems are at work that is the way it it
01:34:49
automatically exercises its all of body that's how I I live my life and I've
01:34:55
always thought I was a bit strange but we're now at 1 p.m. I haven't eaten anything today sometimes I get a little bit later into the day I mean yesterday
01:35:01
this week it's been 5 6 p.m. I think yesterday was 700 p.m. my first meal and
01:35:06
I I I'm okay I I don't know what the you know but I yeah you enjoy life you enjoy
01:35:14
the energies I focus better I have better conversations yeah yeah all that
01:35:20
if you fast a little bit long and then you become sharper and
01:35:26
it's a nice feeling once upon a time if you had a business idea it was exceptionally difficult to get going but
01:35:33
now in the age of Shopify it is exceptionally easy as many of you will
01:35:39
know Shopify are a sponsor of this podcast if you don't know Shopify it's an exceptionally simple web platform for
01:35:45
anybody that's got an idea that wants to transact on a global scale so things like these conversation cards which we
01:35:51
sell we've sold using Shopify and it only took us a couple of clicks to get
01:35:57
going so why did we choose Shopify for a number of reasons but I think one of the big ones which goes unappreciated is
01:36:02
their checkout system converts 36% better compared to other platforms and
01:36:08
here's what I'm going to do to remove the cost for you if you go to shopify.com Bartlet you'll be able to
01:36:14
try Shopify for $1 a month I've seen Shopify completely
01:36:19
change people's lives and for many of you I think it could change yours when you look at our society and the
01:36:26
these sort of stories we've told ourselves about how we're supposed to live yeah what are the other s is there any anything else that's really
01:36:32
fundamental that you think people should question you've talked to me about the breath you've talked to me about discomfort breathing is one of them
01:36:38
you've talked to me there about fasting as well is there anything else that you know whether it's relationships or our
01:36:43
work or our purpose that is just a lie in your opinion oh yes our energy is
01:36:50
being drained it's like thieving and uh uh uh uh we should have all the energy
01:36:57
to bring happiness strength and health to our kids and to feel bright bright
01:37:02
and shiny in life but we don't because we have to do this do that take on
01:37:09
stress and think about this think about that who did this whatever did this is
01:37:15
is a massive Paradigm going on taking our en energetic bodies and with
01:37:23
that our our emotions and with that our life force and and there it is the real
01:37:29
philosophy serves that Paradigm where one becomes happy strong and healthy and
01:37:34
is able to pass it on you're only good if you are able to be happy strong
01:37:41
healthy inside and then pass it radiate that to
01:37:47
others there you go past your ego and that we we we don't live that we survive
01:37:54
in this Society we live in a competitive world we have all kinds of rules in this
01:38:00
and that but do we really feel bright and and the top the best of ourselves
01:38:08
are we able to give love in full conviction that it is good and to
01:38:16
others are we there I don't think so and that is what we are going to bring
01:38:25
when you say you need to know live in your purpose how do I know what my purpose is do I have to go find it
01:38:31
somewhere do I you know what just be happy strong and healthy rest is
01:38:38
[ __ ] just be happy strong and healthy and purpose will follow yes that is the purpose the characteristics of
01:38:46
purpose is not to be in conflict with your soul happy strong and heal
01:38:52
healthy then you become happy strong and healthy you don't need to work for that
01:38:57
so much a couple of exercises more than enough if I do my exercise and I'm not a
01:39:04
whole day working out it's it's 10 minutes 15 minutes but I'm
01:39:12

01:39:39
[ __ ] in there morning in bed and cleanse myself so deeply that
01:39:47
I'm ready to take on anything that is coming and in that way I will absolutely
01:39:54
serve and especially being with you which is a pleasure a great pleasure we
01:39:59
are serving purpose right over here unmistakably straight wh we have a
01:40:07
closing tradition on this podcast where the last guest leaves a question for the next guest and my last guest left a
01:40:14
question for you that is inside the Diary of a CEO and the question that was
01:40:19
left for you is what is one thing you can
01:40:28
do next week to prove to your friends or family that they matter to you more than
01:40:37
your work oh oh work like work 9 to5 is work
01:40:44
because my work is my life my work is my mission and in the end it is not work I
01:40:52
I feel all the to do that so next week more than my work to keep
01:40:59
on what I'm doing right here right now do you believe in like work life balance you know people say work life balance
01:41:06
you've got to yeah my wife is talking about that but I don't I don't feel that
01:41:11
I feel I'm busy with my mission and with my daily life at the same time there is
01:41:19
no work I have no night to five I think you have no night to5 do you know we
01:41:25
depict our own realities I think our power is stronger than they made us
01:41:31
think it is by which we have a power which is stronger than uh what is
01:41:37
man-made coming to us we are stronger and that's why we go and uh we don't
01:41:44
work you know yeah we work the game we work the society we work at all but hey
01:41:50
it's not like 9 to5 and we got to obey and this and that we don't do that why
01:41:57
you got a maybe unexplainable U genetical uh Power in
01:42:03
you that may made you into who you are what and what you are right now and you
01:42:10
got a great responsibility but also that great ability to respond and that is
01:42:17
more than 9 to5 that person this is my last question today that person who is
01:42:24
in that N9 to5 and they are struggling and they are trapped and they have been
01:42:30
conditioned by school University their parents desires who were also you know their parents were also conditioned in
01:42:36
that way what would what would you say to those people as a closing message to
01:42:41
those people oh yeah guys just do what Stephen just
01:42:47
showed you thought you were not able to I cannot do what Iceman is doing or what
01:42:53
Stephen has got or what he is doing and I cannot man you can do that too the
01:43:00
most precious of all the greatest wealth you can Embrace is your happiness your
01:43:06
strength and your health and you can get it every day
01:43:12
anybody that's you that's you it's love it's
01:43:18
powerful whim thank you thank you so much for your time you've been a a legend and an icon and inspiration to me
01:43:24
to my partner Melanie um and to so many people I mean all these people written on the front of the book I actually think every single one of these people
01:43:30
I've sat down here with from Joe to Ben to be to Russell all of them and uh Russ
01:43:36
oh Fern I've sat with her as well and gabble and James Nester ah all seven people on your book I I've gotten to
01:43:43
know and they've many of them have mentioned the profound impact that your work has had and I was before we sat
01:43:48
down today that I was going through so many videos of people who describe how changed their life in a really really
01:43:54
profound way so on behalf of all you did you do that's your work he you do the
01:43:59
study you study people coming because next week or tomorrow I don't know when
01:44:06
a a new people come in and you will study again M yeah that's amazing thank you for all that you're doing because
01:44:12
you're Pro you're providing a counter narrative and a counter solution in a world where it feels like there's only
01:44:18
one and that current solution is failing so many so thank you for that whim we have to change the narrative and we will
01:44:26
because we want to make the people happy strong and healthy and independent of all what is going on we got to reset it
01:44:32
all here we are here we are thank
01:44:39
you I'm going to let you in on a little secret what is in the Diary of a COO Cup
01:44:45
this cup that sits in front of me when I interview these people sometimes for 3 hours and sometimes three people a day
01:44:51
and the answer is this perfect t I invested in the company on Dragon's Den and since then they've gone from an idea
01:44:57
to the fastest growing energy drink in the UK it is a mat energy drink and it
01:45:03
is absolutely delicious but that's not why I choose to drink it on this podcast the reason I choose to drink it is
01:45:08
because it gives me what I call all day energy I don't get the same crashes that I used to get with other energy drinks
01:45:14
if you're in the middle of a conversation or you're in the middle of a talk on stage or in the boardroom the last thing you want to do is have a
01:45:20
crash you don't want Jitters and you need focus and that is why they now sponsor this podcast not only is it delicious
01:45:27
but it gives me a significant competitive Advantage if you haven't tried it go down to a Tesco go to a waitrose or go online and use the code
01:45:35
diary 10 at checkout and you'll get 10% off and when you do try it let me know how you get on
01:45:49
