very soon you will be in the ice birth with me but I don't like the cold that's cool yeah oh gosh stay with your breath wh hop has defied logic time and time again he's able to withstand extreme cold and even ran to the top of Everest in his underwear he's proven we're all capable of pushing our minds and bodies way past what was thought possible they call me the ice man what is the purpose of living happiness strength and health you're rest is [ __ ] but this Society is sick and we cannot deal
with stress it drains us but if we listen to our body we can change that through science so what is the first step breathing exercises it's about handling our emotion and feel that we are on top of it no matter what but we have never learned in our schooling how to do it next through the power of the mind we learn to make our bad feelings disease go away you were injected with eoli you had no negative immune response you took volunteers train them on your techniques and when they were injected their responses were similar
to your own it's all possible how do you do that first we have to whim was there ever a time where the pain was even too much for you my wife took her own life and that led to depression and I was not able to do do [Music] anything there's so many people that are going through different forms of grief what would you say to those people the only way to break that 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
done before as little thank you and we're calling it The di of Co subscriber raffle and here is how it works every episode this month we're going to pick three current subscribers at random and we'll send one of you a 1,000 value 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 phone call with me to discuss whatever you want to talk about if you're a subscriber you're in the raffle thank 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 greatest honor of my lifetime and I hope it I hope it continues uh off into the Future Let's get to the [Music] episode whm yes what is your mission my mission is to bring uh love and power very simple but then through signs so there is no speculation about it they in all the songs you hear love is the greatest power and all that you know but we should be able to feel it and because we could not feel that anymore
to be uh uh too consumed through consumerism through uh everyday very hectic stressful lives we get confused in it all we are depleted in our energy our energy is being drained through a system that is an inally being divided in its wealth and therefore people are not able uh to use their energy to bring up uh the the right values back in the family which is patience which is empathy creativity uh love composed by happiness strength and health so because there is confusion in that area that's why uh I I thought hey 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 depression I see pollution I see abuse I see uh all that and people think that is normal and we have to abide to those uh realities and I think no it's sick and what I'm going to do about it I'm I'm going to start looking searching inside because I I I think every uh mother in the world should be able to bring happiness strength and health to their children and keep it there so that's my
mission to bring it and because nobody's listening to a person like me saying that from the roof we got love is the power and all that that's why I go through science but first I went into the cold and the cold I met because intuitively I felt hey the cold is able to bring down my thinking what is it about the nature of society when you look out on Society at the moment that makes you sad or concerned what is it about the way we live way we've built this thing called Society so a society
is a very complex uh uh opportunistic uh way uh through time nobody is able to trace down where the problems are how it has been Arisen it's too complex too confused now and there I I I say hey okay this look at The Establishment is this perfect is this paradise Noh is nothing wrong with our knowledge understanding and intelligence but the way we use it we have to change our Consciousness and our Consciousness is our way to perceive perceive is what we see and what we are able to deal with and we cannot deal with
the stress coming in our lives it consumes us it drains us and there we are and and look 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 we cannot create happiness strength and health we got to reset so let's stop massively in the world and Elevate our Consciousness to being good to each other not to be competitive if I if I'm an individual listening to this and I follow your methods what can you promise me will be
the outcome on my daytoday life a lot more energy that's number one two you will feel just aive what is the purpose of living it's life to love life as it is pure no thoughts no confusion it's not there just feel alive when you uh rise from the bed you feel okay this is a new day what I'm going to do I'm going to change the world today because I feel so good and even though I'm not fully on right now I know it's coming and I want it I want it so much and you
know what it's called purpose and that purpose I'm I'm living it and that purpose is stronger than my thinking and this Society is not driven to fulfill each and everyone's purpose it's to uh have the the the society maintained the system maintained controlled by a a couple of people all the energy for what where is the happiness where is the strength where is the health every day when I live my purpose and and I want to change the world I want to bring love and power and I'm doing with mathematical Precision with the mission impossible
things they I found which I tested in uh scientific uh comparative studies showing that suddenly we have so much more control instead of being controlled by the system oppressing our purpose Our Lives energy and to connect with that purpose it's like love when you feel love for your woman for your love your sex this this you you don't think that is that power and that power you should be able to live and to feel for life itself every day but we are blocked too much going into the cold brings you out of this thinking brain
it brings you directly into the deepest part of the brain because you are doing it going into the called then it it needs to be switched on the deepest part of the brain survival part the brain stem and uh to battle the danger of the cold but it's there once it's there and you are doing it you are connecting is that pardon what you're saying that the way that we live our lives is a little bit too comfortable so 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 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 warm building I had a nice warm shower oh very soon you will be in the ice bath with me it's it's going to be nice you know it's going to be nice but that that that the the difference is we choose if we go to the cult and the cold will not come to us we tackle the problem before it arises within us with the
cult which is a very uh negative aggressive power inflicted upon our bodies it's an impact when you say if we go to the cold before 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 don't then our lives will be met with discomfort in other way yes and then we are not prepared yeah right and that and a lot of people are maybe okay with this in this system but uh so many more people are not okay with this
and for those we stand up we who have the wealth of being and feeling okay great that's wealth we should be able to stand up for those who cannot whim when did this start when did this start for you because a lot of people that I meet on this show you know their early Journeys or the sort of pivotal moments in their lives can be traced back to maybe when they were 12 or 13 but your journey starts even earlier the first Domino that fell seems to fall when your mother was giving birth to you
oh yes subconsciously it started at my birth my mother told me I'm one of the twins unexpected back then we had no Echo graphics and all these tools so they didn't know that there was another twin baby there exactly and so I was almost uh born too late they discovered me almost too late and uh so I came out while they were pushing uh the bat with my mother to the operation room in the in in the hallway like purple because almost suffocated coming out in the cold of the hall very traumatized it started over
there it started with a trauma and I let me tell you I was I became a Seeker because of that trauma people become Seekers if they have deep trauma they always will seek uh compensation always try to seek relief in one way or in another not directly to the trauma but indirectly bypassing and they don't know it influences directly deeply your behavior in life just want to make sure I'm super clear on this your mother had two identical twin boys and the doctor's own only knew that one baby was there so when they finished delivering
um your brother your identical twin brother they 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 baby yourself was at risk and from that whole sort of traumatic experience you feel that that sort of embodied a trauma which you've which turned you into a Seeker looking for answers on the universe rejecting the conventional thinking and that takes us all the way through this sort of um very curious childhood up to the point you describe 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 yes uh cold and C there are no words to describe it because you are led by intuition you are led by a way the the body is able to solve whatever is inside because you cannot relate by thinking what is going on because I was a baby back then but it always blocked me it made me a seeker and uh at that moment when I went in I just follow to intuition it's a
feeling and there I felt this is it this is it what I've always been trying to find as a Seeker my intuition had led me to ER uh go into that water to meet my trauma and that is activating a innate capacity of ours to deal and to process whatever is going on in the deepest of the brain in the deepest thought up uh tissue where is trauma uh present which we haven't learned how to access that first time you got in the cold water yeah did you react like I react when I get in
the cold water now did you were you h no absolutely not I was surprising and you will go with me later and you will not go the way you just expressed okay we will go like you will smile beautifully like you do right now yeah and go with me in there is a moment that you will feel a little bit of but I'm there we are there you're my brother you you I'm your uncle I'm your family I want you to feel good I I want you I I I I'm here to make you strong
strong strong it it it means to stay in the eye of the hurricane when it is when the stress is most when you first got into the cold water you said it seemed to answer a lot of your spiritual questions yeah oh yeah all what what spiritual questions did getting in the Cold War to that first time answer all what all what has been propagated by all the religions all the Asic disciplines and doctrines that Nirvana and Enlightenment key pra uh whatever they call it uh in name uh that that is just our mind let's
feel strong let's be strong let's be healthy let's be happy just unconditionally that's what I felt at that moment this is it and it was not words that came to me it was a pure opening of my feeling being un corrupted by thinking for many many years you lived as a squatter was it from 17 to sort of 20 sort of mid 20s that you lived as a squatter 0s you were you best time of my life having no money whatsoever I was in society living outside of society outside I had no money I lived
off the scraps of the uh the marketplace and I loved it was a party time was Feast every day with all these other people who are free thinkers do don't think a time have a have a sabatical a a a sabatical of this way the system maintains itself through Paradigm through a certain way of thinking if you just leave it at time you start to think uh thoughts and emotions are able to emerge without without this helmet on this heavy helmet which is interrupting your flow your being your expression and then you you cannot trust
that expression you are lost you're getting lost of who who you are there I was able to freethink without even thinking about it I played the guitar and the hallways uh I did yoga all these postes in the in the courtyards naked and in the winter time I became so strong if you only let the life force Express itself you become so strong what is the life force for anybody that doesn't know anybody has it yeah like here and right now if I like I was talking be before we entered into this podcast 76 years
old this man was and he was suffering uffing from Li limes disease and he wanted to climb to kilamanjaro in record time without having any experience in in climbing 76 years old limes disease suffering with that condition doing a mountain which normally is done between five and nine days fully dressed because up there at 6,000 m is really cold and there is less than half the oxygen so the cold comes even harder in and there I saw life force uh his life force was so determined to climb with me an impossible physiologically impossible task because
normally between 5 to n days he did it a 31 hours 76 years old what what else is that than a life force you never expected it to be just to take on the challenge he had a deeper feeling within himself I don't know what I got to do but this guy is saying he wants to climb to Kilimanjaro past the physiological limits according to science and it I feel I feel something that is your life force talking to you which wants to free itself he was suffering from limes disease he was in a system
always abiding to everything and suddenly with an autoimmune disorder he could not control at all and and there he was so he he felt the same thing as I felt when I was 17 going into the CT he came with me and he climbed to kilaru in 31 hours not 5 to n days 31 hours so that is the life force our life force is capable of so much more than we are used to why don't we know that why don't we believe that why don't we live our lives with the you know the the
opinion that we can climb the mountain sure because we are let to believe we have to serve into systems that are not necessarily serving our soul and they so massively psychologically overwhelming the system the schooling system Etc it's so overwhelming that we have no way to escape from this narrowing Consciousness where we got in we think careers make us happy cars make us happy money makes us happy Fame and name and all makes us happy I was the happiest guy when I was in the squat having nothing you were you were effectively homeless living just
outside yeah yeah yeah a squat is a place where you have a uh you have electricity and that's it and you got to pay for the the heater so you had to find find ways to uh uh pay say um what is it £70 a month and you were living with lots of people in yeah when when you were squatting yeah wow was an amazing I mean we don't need so much but it has been propagated that we need a house everybody needs a mortgage and you got to serve that mortgage you got to go
to 9 to5 and we become slaves and slaves of a system that is in the end creating quite some stress and we are only able to survive not to express ourselves creatively as who we are and what we are for real what's a realistic alternative whim I lived in that Society first I lived outside through living in a squat that was enough for me to have my own identity connected in my thinking my mind and uh then I went into society it was a horrible time time because suddenly I had to live in a flat
with the kids and my wife deteriorated mentally and she took her own life in 95 and she jumped from eight stories down that that that was the the life I was in and the and Society just go keeps on going like a train it it has no emotion it has no feeling wh on that you're 22 years old you're you fall in love yes with a woman you describe as the love of your life oh that's her yes o oh look at this oh yeah sweetheart amazing Soul very expressive very talkative to everybody very open
and uh and then into the shadows of her own mind and dysfunctioning of brain functioning and uh that led to uh her depression and then becoming Manic and then schizophrenia then uh worse got worse and worse and worse we were 15 years together you met her in that squat house in the squat house yes yeah amazing yeah so innocent all very innocent and uh uh I called her a butterfly Mariposa in Spanish and uh butterfly because she was everywhere a very light being did I fell in love or Rose in love I think the last
one only the the way her mind got Disturbed through this yeah is it Society is it the pressure is it a career is it what is it a demand because this was a light a being of light you you met her in that squatter house you had two children together yes in the squat and perfectly okay and great and great we yeah beautiful the those children are right now working with me we got an international worldwide company yeah when did you realize that her mental health was deteriorating yeah probably too late uh uh uh it
was a a a a decreasing kind of uh uh process in her where she was losing the control and uh uh I had no real means to take care of that she went back uh to uh pmon she was Spanish from origin and uh she was there with her family she would have been for months on end with her family and then come back and being mother for two days and then suddenly collapse and being bad and being very down again and uh yeah like a burden burdensome but we loved her of course we are
trying to survive where and uh only after the uh the fourth child you wanted another CH but I said no you have to become better you have to become healthy and and she said to you you are a bastard that was one month before she took her own life see uh she kissed her I was working as a mountain guide in the Pines to get some money and I also loved it I love nature but then uh uh yeah she kissed her uh the kids could bu before uh jumping down or letting go from 8
uh story she jumped off an eighth story building yes I mean it almost takes a lot of courage to do that too you must be very Des desperate if you do a thing like that and that is something un overcomable the part of me when I was 12 the world is sick depressed the darkness the wars the pollution Etc all that I'm going to do something about it at that moment I could not I was not able to do anything so it it turned into a defeat it turned into being me hopeless it turned me
into being depressed but I had no time to be depressed I had to take care of four children on your own on my own with almost no money so uh that's that's a actually where the cult came in not like a negative power power it the cold is stronger than your mind it than your thinking it makes you the depth of your brain at work and the depth of your brain is the place the pharmacy it's the pharmacy the Healer of our uh being which we disconnected from so much because we go we go for
pills medicines or go to doctor if something happens to us we don't go to ourselves I can't imagine the pain I can't imagine the pain of you know having the love of my life um a deteriorate um have four kids with me but then take her own life grief oh yes the grief had no space yes the agonizing thinking all day long has its way to uh to burden a person a me and uh uh uh yeah the only way to break that was going into uh icy water uh that was yeah I mean at
that moment you're just surviving and that gives you a little little opening of this agonizing thinking this it's painful it's a a and at that moment you are so overwhelmed by all that that you now I can talk about it but back then I was in the middle of it do you remember where you were where you were when you got that phone call yes uh exactly and U I was doing groups of people uh in the in the mountains so back then you had these phone booths yeah in on the camping on the camping
where we uh slept and uh with the group and uh there I got uh this phone call uh the of her brother calling me and uh yeah so it is uh not only shocking you don't know what to say you cannot even cry the grief comes later the thinking about it the being able to contemplate about it and have feelings about it comes only later I cried when I was with her father with with her father over her dead body then we cried together that then you can relate You Can Let Go it happens you're
not thinking about it it happens so that's the way it evolves and then but in the back of my head was was of course my four children it took a burden on us it took a burden on an inexplicable burden it changed us it traumatized Us in the depth and that made us uh separate at a certain moment later on in life now we are all together and it's amazing the chemistry is better than ever before and uh she her the mother she is like in a an angel now she's looking over our shoulders and
we talk about it we say she yeah she that it is going so well with us is because she is that back she she is with us we feel it when you had that conversation with your four children that their mother was gone they were between seven and 12 years old yes how how do how do you have a conversation with a seven-year-old or or a 12year old about their mother not being here anymore exactly that that way I said she is she is gone her body is gone she she I didn't say she was
dead she is not no longer with us that's what I said and they got it we are here we are together we're going to we're going to find life with us mommy is gone yet also she is here and worked it worked I mean we went on did they ask questions of course of course many questions but uh the end uh the the the questions uh were not as strong as our being during in life being together uh it's there where I found the cold to give me all the energy to create a good atmosphere
to at home the nest warmth playfulness being there light not heavy what is that first step to because 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 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 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 is the first step absolutely the breathing exercises these breathing exercises in 2014 were capable to show just like scientifically uh hormonally uh looking at the nervous system the depth uh which we entered with these breathing exercises in this comparative study showed that we were able to tap into the autonomic nervous system and innate immune system which was considered to be impossible in signs and now it is there it's not only the autonomic nervous system and the innate immune system it's also the ability naturally to solve what is deeply stored up
in our tissue which could not be processed in the moment when it happened trauma whim I've got some of those studies in front of me I read through all of them um ahead of our conversation and they are quite frankly um remarkable they're quite frankly remarkable they are uh peer-reviewed studies that have been published um went through very sort of scientifically rigorous processes to make sure that they were valid and in these studies we see breakthroughs that I think the past people thought were impossible but if we just focus in then on that breathing because
you you described that as the first step if I have never breathed in my life I've never done it I've never heard about it I'm a I'm skeptical to it I think breathing is just something we don't think about um what do you mean by breathing and what kind of breathing and can you explain to me like I'm an idiot what it's doing yeah what it is doing for example I'm uh now busy with cardiologists and they saw in heart films that if you stop breathing after exhalation for one and a half minute five times
more blood flows into the brain and to the heart this what has never been shown and now it has been shown through these breathing techniques I mean this really goes so deep we are able to make uh these uh through these breathing techniques uh change our blood's chemistry uh bring up the pH levels way up by which the breathing trigger is not happening because it's depending on the CO2 level in our blood if we breathe like 30 times like this you become a little bit woie a little bit dizzy why because the CO2 levels go
way down you blow it off carbon dioxide have we forgotten how to to breathe like that is that is oh yes is that the natural way of breathing no not exactly okay what what what is exactly is that we uh have forgotten to feel Deep Emotions uh to be uh in connection with danger danger is a deep emotion or the cold it's it's deep we avoid these emotions but they are we are built to receive it to express it and uh with that comes alive the deeper mechanisms in our body and be if that longterm
is not exercise those deeper mechanisms and among that is not only the emotion it's also the immune system it becomes weaker we become more flid we become insensitive look at the insensitivity in our society Gaza is happening yeah protest is we should stop that [ __ ] we should stop those Wars cuz kids little kids are here jeopardized and we cannot even feel it anymore you know that this insensitivity in US is a is a plague is a plague because we serve a system that runs well on people being obedient and being flaccid not really
sensitive because if you are really sensitive you don't go to a to a slave job every every day and come back stressed and the other day you do it again and again again again what we should do within our eles is learning how to connect into the depth and this is what I give through the C we bring these deeper emotions alive and then you will not abide to that what makes you weak to that what kills your purpose we got to stand up as humanity and more more now than ever and here we are
and uh whim how do you do that very simple do this breathing techniques do it on your bed on a sofa or very controlled because you will go past your conditioned mind and body the the shallow breathing we do we say that is breathing that's not breathing that is automatic reflex of your body doing something and there it is now you take over consciously you start to breathe deeper you go past these patterns depicted by a conditioned body and that conditioning is only serving the system but not necessarily you I want you to take over
the steer wheel I want you to be conscious and then go with that conscious into deeper breathing break the patterns of your conditioning and suddenly uh your uh deeper traumas your deeper feelings are able to come to the surface is being stored up being stashed away forever and and that is what is happening in the first session we do I I can promise any any person uh who is doing it will encounter a such a tremendous experience of himself from the depth coming to the surface and that's only the depth coming to the servant that's
all and it's beautiful I'm so intrigued as to as to how that happens so CU I've had lots of friends that are very um focused on breathing using your techniques obviously I told you before we started recording my partner runs a breath work studio called barley breath work where she has committed her life to using the breath to heal people 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 of unconscious breathing um patterns why does that unlock trauma because
when I go to my when I um have been to my partner's breath work sessions when they end people are talking about very deep forms of trauma that they've suddenly encountered and I'm wondering how is the breath doing that how is the breath unlocking that stuff what is where is it hidden you know I don't understand the breaths connection to our trauma so traumas are a stored Up chemistry it's unprocessed 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 away and it becomes biochemical
stored up uh stored up capacity of the body is simply there in our deeper tissue but our conditioned mind and body is not able to get into that depth just by thinking yes but that we are thinking too much and uh we know something is wrong inside but we cannot connect with that now if we change the patterns we normally go into with our breathing and thinking which goes paed which controls our heart it's conditioning H if we are into that conditioning and we start simply and that makes it so beautiful that it is so
simple and uh H how it uh uh then uh suddenly is able to get into this Tau to regulate our mood in the depth is by a cab cannaboid receptors the last study we did is a landmark study Landmark study done by Professor DBU divar in Detroit and it shows that the cannabinoid receptors are a part of the Salient Network the Salient network is that what makes all the networks in the brain work together and uh with that we get a hold of H areas we normally don't have connection to so what the breathing does
in the depth is activating the connectors in the body called cannabinoid receptors by which uh deeper uh realities of our uh physiology uh open up and that is a natural thing to happen when we are in peace no longer in the trauma in the accident no now we are in peace now we should be able to work out what has been stored up that is a natural capacity of ours to do that but we have never learned in our society in our schooling how to do it and not even in Psychiatry they give you pills
and they give you medicines that's makes a lot of money but it doesn't solve the problem people become catatonic people become my wife too after treatment in Psychiatry the first wife she became her eyes like like a zombie yeah a zombie this is a blasphemy this is scandalous in Psychiatry that they keep on doing that now I get a lot of psychiatrists uh a cognitive psychologists about cognitive therapist and they say when the cognitive therapies have no solution anymore we do breathing and it it just brings solution so it is simple so effective but it
doesn't make money it it makes people understand I feel so much better how is that possible and that that's simply that how it works we just did The Landmark study with the compelling findings that we actually found interception interceptive Focus suddenly being able to regulate our mood emotion much better so we are able to listen if we listen to our body and we feel bad we can change that we uh we found now the key how to do that first of all you do the breathing called of course called training not too much never too
much just relax we are very capable to even take like Patrice Eva who was completely hating it because of his when he was young he got it as a punishment you have to take it nice and good and open up to the Natural capacity to take it on he will was the best absolute best taken on icy water for 16 minutes he was in and he wanted to stay there in and BBC was 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 just walking out and you know what I felt his skin he was not even called so just for context is that power that's that power it's so simple for people 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 whims techniques had really changed his life especially his relationship with cold water he was like me he told 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 but I think what he discovered through whim was that that was actually a trauma because when he was younger his father used cold water as a punishment so he had this trauma with cold water and after doing your uh program and spending 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 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 that never
got into the um the the cold recovery plunge pools at Manchester United after the game he always avoided 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 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 it's the um the Michigan brain over body study that was the first study and then came a second study uh the
first study I was compared to 74 test subjects per people and they were all going into the uh having a a profusion vest what is been used in when firefighters go into the work they have a cold water going through a perfusion vest full of tubes so it's a vest where they pump cold water yes okay so they are able to endure the heat of the fire better okay to fight the fire so they took that into uh body scans fmri scans and uh pump cold water into these vests while the people were Motionless In
These FM and so every time when the cold water was pumped in uh the body's uh uh skin temperature would go down and uh and then warmed up again a skin temperature going up and that correlates in the brain with stress and uh uh uh and those stress mechanisms then when the cold is being pumped in is very clearly seen on the monitor of these people who connected the people with electrodes you could see it on the monitor the way the brain was being activated oh these are the stress mechanisms and now is the warmth
oh now is the uh the areas of well-being of the brain H activated insula and the and the and the per aqueductal gray whatever the names I I call it a the the positive and the negative registration of uh of stress and or well-being yeah those parts and they nobody could change that what if we could make the feeling well part of the brain at work when the stress comes in so what if we could feel choose to feel good when stress comes ah this was never been shown in psychiatry so they had this experimental
uh module there and then uh nobody could make a different brain scan possible when stress comes in through the cold being pumped in to the skin then stress part of the brain is activated nobody could make that not go uh activated not go away and I could I didn't feel the cult when it came in because I warmed up my body willfully nobody believed that was possible um until until you did it I want to just recount that the first study which was done and published in 2018 it was carried out at Wayne State University
in Michigan and scientists looked at the way that the body and the Brain reacted to changes in temperature whenever anyone feels the cold um they typically have a auto automatic bodily response um but also you can see that that response in the brain the narrowing of blood vessels to protect organs uh increased energy and and pain signals so to test whether you could control that um those responses to the cold scientists created a full body suit in which they would pump cold or warm water into your into your body on normal test subjects their skin
temperature would rise and fall with the change in water temperature which is what you'd expect when whim underwent the experiment without his breathing techniques his skin temperature changes were very similar to the normal people however when he used the breathing and meditation techniques he kept a sustained skin temperature of 34° over 25 minutes which was never thought to be humanly possible when he was put in a pet scan to see what was happening inside his body scientists saw that the intercostal muscles which is the muscles between your ribs were burning a lot of glucose and
releasing heat into your body which was keeping your body warm when looking at whims brain scientists saw that it didn't have the same unconscious reaction to the cold as normal people's brains did his breathing technique engaged the sympathetic nervous system releasing adrenaline and triggered the area of the brain stem which is that um area you describing before aqueductal gry hemisphere that perceives pain the triggering of the brain stem released cannaboids and opioids and these chemicals gave a sense of well-being and reduced anxiety and this study showed that whim had control over the autonomous nervous um
autonomous systems of the brain and the brain's automatic responses to the cold the results of this study have been uh tremendous and they have proven the massive potential implications for the IM immune system disorders like diabetes Ms and arthritis in Psychiatry so it the TDR of that is the study really proved that the stress we encounter throughout our lives we do have control over it we have control over the impact it has on our physiological systems but also you know our brain and how we experience it because you were able to not experience cold yes
the pain of cold the stress of c and it was not about the cold it was about how to deal with stress stress can come in many ways emotionally physically spiritually it can come in many ways in the end it is biochemical stress it it turns into biochemistry neurotoxins Etc it accumulates it gets in the body 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 only deteriorates it it gets worse and and that besides of the side effects thing is I
used the cult back when I was with my wife who died to get my emotional Agony out of the way and uh it was the doorway to open up my healing my spiritual healing of me as a puppy of my children just to be happy with them and to provide energy and well-being without this traumatizing Darkness around us so I found it through the cult yet it is not about the cold it's about that I regained Mastery over my to bring back my emotion uninterrupted cuz we should be able to guide our emotional state of
being anytime when we feel bad naturally naturally and that that that is what this shows and now upon this study they did another study and then they saw even without me now people can do this and that's what I wanted that is the study Landmark study being done last January published so that's TW 24 and uh six years past the covid and all H and now they see compelling evidence to keep on and to make these studies much bigger because their potential is that we found to key called intercep interception to be so strong that
we are able to control our emotional well-being throughout whatever stress there is but it's not just our emotional well-being it's also our immune system of course that goes also with it I isn't a a healthy person a happy person kind of you know isn't it interrelated I want to just highlight this because this for me when I heard this many years ago I thought this was uh I thought this couldn't possibly be true but in 2010 um when you were 51 years old you took part in a study at Rand bound University Medical Center in
the Netherlands where you were injected with a a bacterial toxin a dead straight of ecoli in previous studies of a 100 healthy people they responded to that injection with a flu like response which 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 bacterial toxin uh you had no negative immune response apart from a minor headache your but blood results also showed the release of cortisol adrenaline and the messenger messenger chemical il10 which is an anti-inflammatory pro protein all of which helped you
to fight off that bacteria uh however to prove that this wasn't just you being some superhuman scientists gathered 30 male volunteers 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 them to Poland for 4 days to train them on meditation cold exposure annual breathing techniques and when they were injected with the um bacterial toxin uh the dead strain of ecoli the trained group had a significantly less immune response recovered quicker and their bodily responses were similar to your own this
was a major scientific breakthrough and it showed people could voluntarily control their automatic nervous system and immune response which was previously thought to be impossible and that's the viewer the viewer is looking at this now that's you and and that's where we want to reach out to you have the uh uh absolute capacity to rule so much better within your own body and I'm I'm I'm doing the science I'm following the science and I think it's scandalous of the scientific Community not to have Dove upon this why don't we is it because it's difficult no
it's not difficult it's not now like I don't know over the 100 million people are doing this but through the scientific World which is uh also in the beginning of this conversation it's corrupted they get funding from the pharmaceutical industry and that's all good Etc I'm not messing with them uh but natural ways that could equalize the results of medicines without side effects should at least have a thorough examination by the scientific uh Elite world can I just I want to make sure I'm super clear on what's going on here and what to achieve these
phenomenal results um by by having a sort of doing some of these techniques that help us to unlock the the stress and the trauma that's deep in our body and that enable us to create a better response with stress we're able to guard off the stress which means we're able to protect 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 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 that is that the simple way of describing what's going on here yeah yes yes we have this innate capacity to heighten our buffer zone uh toward uh stress by which stress is not able to do its damage and is part of the problem with the modern way of living that we've chosen medication as the answer too often and we've also made our lives as stress free 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 Health Care system is B burdened by the the finances and all it's it's going to collapse anyway if it keeps on going but because it is a money-making uh way uh that's why they will keep on going until it collapses I had professor friedr in Mar thebook on the line uh talking about he said to me whim the democracy the Democracy as we know it actually is uh at Peril in danger why because the people are becoming so weak and we the democracy is only uh composed by the strength of the people
once we get all weaker and a a system which is corrupt just to uh make money a healthy economy on people that wants to stay that way makes the people weaker and weaker by which the Democracy will know its ant will collapse and I said hey that weakness in the Democracy in people I can make it go away in one week simply sense talking to this professor and he he agreed because he saw it he saw it in the people he knew it he he knew it from anecdotal evidence he knew it from his family
taking up these crazy whm Hof techniques going into call Wim Hof whatever is a brand name I'm a simple guy I know what it is to have nothing at all to be a nobody and now I got a name and fame and all that I don't care it's okay if I got to stand up I will and I will say hey here I am whim Hof the Iceman and I will change the world how through making you better than who you think you could be and that is through the Wim Hof method and fasting is
good too to deprive yourself in different ways hor matically that is self-inflicted acute stressful exercise but do it consciously if you 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 we are built to endure we are built we got these capacities so if we go into the cult you will see that there your whole body is able to handle stress so much better and when you know you are going into a stressful uh event of any kind you know
willfully to connect yourself make your body from the inside so strong that the stress out there is no problem there's three elements to this whim Hoff method there's three pillars to the method the first is that conscious breathing so let's just make 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 walking the dog or whatever I'm on a plane what is what is the sort of key parts of doing the breathing technique correctly yes do it safe
yeah so never 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 swimming pool you lose control h that's no good H when you are at an Abus and you lose control no good you know wherever your motoric uh uh uh Power is needed to be in control don't do it there therefore we say strictly this is a powerful medicinal therapeutic uh exercise through breathing specific breathing uh patterns we take on if for 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 here on the ground is a soft uh uh carpet here there no problem okay so relax it's a this is also these moments when you okay relax I'm I'm now turning myself into myself because I'm going to breathe deeper I'm going to go past my normal uh control mode normal conditioning normal thinking so okay am I here yes I'm here okay here we go we have a belly we have a chest that those uh muscles are connected to the lungs so
use your belly and use your uh chest to inhale 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 belly yeah just so two breaths in yeah and at a certain moment becomes one keep on going fully in as deep as possible and Let It Go just Let It Go and then fully in again as deep as possible let it go all in and Let It Go and all in Let It Go the Mind goes with a breath fully in Let It
Go and all in Let It Go we are blowing keep on going for in blowing of the CO2 carbon dioxide can become a little bit DIY but that's okay your body is charging up it's changing your blood chemistry is changing you may your pH levels go up in your blood we do 10 more fully in just follow the breath whatever feels different breathe into it Let It Go and all in Let it go this morning at 5:00 I was doing this because I Was preparing to be freed in my biochemistry of any [ __ ]
and this is cleansing the biochemistry trauma anything anything that is deeply in is being CLE yeah five more Let It Go fully in Let It Go all in Let It Go all in Let it go last one hold in let it go and stop after the exhalation close your mouth no breathing no need your pH levels are way up there's no need for breathing what is going to happen is what I was saying mentioning before after one minute and there is no need for breathing because the breathing trigger depends on co2 CO2 is blown off
you are biohacking your body you're going deep you're going past the condition mind and body you're going deeper in the tissue now you're entering into the deepest part of your brain it's going to shoot out adrenaline epinephrine the adrenal axis is now in activation now slowly but surely five times more blood will flow into your brain and your heart you feel peaceful you have it fully in control yet the deepest of your mechanisms and the deepest of your brain are at work right now and because you are doing it you are connecting with those mechanisms
that's the way we learn to gain control over these mechanisms and you're still without breathing even normally you you you would die like yeah breathing breathing you're peaceful you're completely in control over your parasympathetic nervous system which is deep autonomic nervous system level and you are in control right now this is where trauma is starting to release five 4 3 2 1 now you take a full breath in hold it and press it to your head press it to your head press it to your head this is subliminal cerebral spinal fluid to your head it's
flushing in and all brain 100% neural Activity 3 2 1 let it go good if we go into a next round you will be able to go say for two minutes without breathing then 2 and 1/2 minutes then 3 minutes after exhalation it is it cannot be something else than a regaining a control deeper than ever before thought possible and this is what we have shown this is where the bacteria suddenly had no chance the virus has no chance why is it that the world doesn't know about this why is it that the scientific world
is not examining this as a beneficial therapeutical power to battle all the diseases we got because aren't we built with an immune system that shoot Hal virus bacteria uh inflammation 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 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 room it all felt very it almost felt a little bit like I just woken up but
it 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 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 it shows uh that this uh um this uh method is compared to meditation and mindfulness Works a whole lot better how did you learn this where did you learn this by intuition you remember the mother who made me uh uh become a missionary become a seeker
and then I found the cold water what does the cold water do first time you go into cold water you learn to breathe deep and that makes all the change at a certain moment I became aware that if I was breathing deeper slowly and deep slowly and deep I was able to endure the cold much longer that means that if we go into deeper breathing we are able to activate deeper mechanisms that are able to make us a lot stronger and that translates to life yeah translates to everyday life I want 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 really interesting as well which is the power of the Mind exactly what do you 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 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 study it's coming out now um it's into submitting and they did it
with 540 people so meditation and mindfulness is about the mind isn't it to bring anxiety down to bring stress down this method works better than mindfulness and meditation which is in the corporate world but also in the wellness industry uh overall and also therapeutically in the health Mental Health Care uh yeah systems uh being accept accepted and uh implemented and used as a therap therapeutical means so this works better uh the stress resilience goes way up stress experience goes way down and the cognitive awareness goes also way up is what you just said and uh
this was only one round imagine if you do four rounds you will go so deep that's yeah unprecedent enter deep where you will go and things can come to the surface never been stashed away you never knew of or we're not aware of at all this is all blocking our awareness and now when it's getting out of the way then suddenly our awareness becomes bigger brighter nicer more flow more receptive more sharper clearer and all and uh that that is part of a system that suddenly is able to override our conditioning so our conditioning is
a conditioning wherein deeper mechanisms are not really at work but we are able to function in this Society system Etc but not necessarily we are connected with the depth of our selves and when trauma happens or emotion start to be not nice we don't know what to do with that now the power of the mind is very simple through doing this you learn to override to create a different conditioned mind and body relationship and suddenly opens up a new terrain a new capacity in the brain to connect with and that is interoception interoception interoception interception
and and with that we suddenly learn to control uh and to command our bodies a vessel of our emotions of our sensations of or whatever we experience that's our body but when it feels bad we don't know what to do and now we found a way to go past that conditioned State and we found a new way in the brain and get a hold of that which is there naturally to control control whatever is going wrong to re-regulate it to rebalance it to reset it to make our bad feelings emotions uh disease Etc make it
go away in our Command that is the power of the mind which is a natural capacity of ours which should be revealed past uh the system way of thinking and be brought into SE secondary school or or even when kids are very young that they are able to depict their own happiness strength and health is part of the building up the power of the Mind becoming stepping into personal responsibility and stepping away from victimhood yes because victimhood is no longer needed responsibility is there where we have the ability to respond and this is these are
the tools then suddenly we feel we got the stair wheel in our hand how do you train someone though to stop being a victim in their own life in one in one session how just do this breathing yeah and then uh we go into the ice birth yeah they suddenly feel power sorry that I'm yelling you can yell yeah it's power people feel the being silent in that ice bath oh overcoming all that stress and suddenly feel that they are on top of it and they are suddenly able to go past this concept of this
dangerous cold power energy coming to No Control this anxiety is suddenly they got a halt complete halt over that and with that comes that Paradigm that always thought of that to be impossible to control Suddenly It's a piece of cake that that is then turning into a a a domino effect a Cascade of uh 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 responsibility by taking control of the cold and not oh absolutely and in just one day okay
well guess what whim upstairs I have two ice baths I've always been bad with the cold always 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 ice baths upstairs could we go upstairs and get in those ice baths and you can teach me how to master the cold so the cold no longer Masters me follow me on this I'm I'm just a a brother of another mother in this yeah we are like family family people have the capacity to transmit their
energy M it's logical it's it's nothing woa it's real and you will feel it's real today here in the ice just follow me there in and very soon you take the reins over you yourself let's do it okay okay so when we've got uh two ice baths here is there a certain temperature they need to be does it matter no this this is the right temp temperature very cold yeah so so so so talk me through what we're going to do and how we're going to 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 through yeah your voice I want to hear you yeah 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 to go into your feeling now okay so command your body to feel strong mhm yeah mhm we bring happiness strength and health to the whole wide world MH yes mhm okay command yourself to be strong this is a to see if you are able to commence your body
from the inside to be strong MH right mhm so let's go in mhm sorry stay with your breath we are friends come on we show the world from the inside is the power let the body do what the body is capable of long out breath long out breath long out you're doing good look at hey you didn't think this one like this yet you're doing good yeah it let your body do what the body is capable of it takes about 20 seconds more then then your body is adapting from the inside means that the hormone
system suddenly has found a way to oppose the impact and that makes your body strong that makes your immune system on that makes your emotions being within your control the deepest part of the brain now is within because you are doing it is within your command and that is reestablishing natural power of us this is what we are going to bring to the whole wide of world because we love the people and we bring happiness strength and health no it's power this is power but silent nice how simple it can be I'm not a sorcerer
or something or a magician life is Magic yes let's get to life look at he was afraid of the cold hey the cold is not mine I'm got a warm body it's just not mine look at them now you can't buy this you can obtain this happiness health and strength you can obtain it you just go to the cold and the cold doesn't come to you did you have done it 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
would you sit in here in the morning sometimes I stay I had a birthday when I became 60 I thought I'm going to show the world that I'm [ __ ] strong sorry for the French but I'm going to stay 60 Minutes in the in the icy water and I had happy times and 61 I did 61 minutes 62 I did 62 minutes 63 I had 63 and when I became 64 I thought that's boring no going to do this anymore yeah you your nature is on inside and that's the whole message and with that
comes the a strengthened immune system a strengthened cardiovascular system cardiovascular related issues is killer number one in our society through this it's gone this the way to tackle it 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 else can you not go so if I did this once a day you think I'd be better equipped to deal with the stress of work and the stress of Life yeah of course man and you don't need to go this long into an
eyes bath two three minutes is enough I we''ve been in six minutes it 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 know if that's just from my body shutting down or something yeah okay I think it now there time enough come louder you did it come on down amazing thank you so much it was so interesting the first um the first 20 seconds of that process are so fascinating because I had to conf a lot of things I had to confront
a lot of natural reactions that told me to stop 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 like Panic it was like a wall and it was a wall that I had to make a decision about going through or going backwards and I say this because I think in a lot of Our Lives we're surrounded by these walls and it's in many of our Lives 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 that wall was something I created myself it was a figment of my imagination and as I sat there for what five six minutes my body almost said to me it was like sorry I was lying I was lying to you something was lying because five six minutes in I'm completely fine yeah but in that first 20 seconds some Panic signal went off and told me to retreat and so I just find that so fascinating it's like there's something about breaking through a wall mhm that
you once really believed was real that illuminates your mind to the what other kind of self-limiting beliefs you're currently constrained by in everyday life you know I could I couldn't say it better uh self-limiting uh belief uh beliefs coming in at a certain moment become blockages become patterns become condition and that conditioning uh withholds us from going through uh things when they come to our lives because they are too stressful they are uh uh mirroring that what we uh through our self- believing uh limiting uh way of thinking have created then we see it outside
and we don't go in it we don't go through it anymore and thus we don't find uh uh these things in our lives anymore to uh as life's lessons it's no longer there and and there we limit ourselves and become narrowed so what we have found now through these uh practices that we are able to command our bodies so much better to go through the self-limiting self H disc conditioning because in most of the time it is uh that we get schooled that we have to follow rules ethics morals Etc at a certain moment we
got a belief system that is not necessarily who we are in the depth and this is where this Society is suffering uh big time of having no connection with this invisible purpose of ours which is there but we it's behind the wall and simply through doing this you see you have the power to go through these walls you have the power to uh become exactly who you are and what you are that is what the C is showing it doesn't show what what you think it shows you who you are and what you are and
from there you will see that the walls in your life of whatever invisibly what stalking you will disappear is this in part why it seems like a lot of people in society right now are choosing discomfort because you 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 marathon runs and they're cold plunging and they're they're doing things to put themselves in intentional discomfort it seems like it's for me it's I've observed it like a counter
movement yes and it is and and it is but H the the thing is H now that we are showing in signs with the professor Vibe of divar mostly in Auto music uh that we found a key and the key is the innate capacity of ours to command our bodies much better in our emotions because in the end it's not about going into the extremes it's about handling our emotion and to feel that we are on top of it no matter what and that being able to pass on to our children the way reactionary it
all we go into these extremes and all that is a that is a reaction of our uh massive Paradigm encountering too much comfort now hey let's go to that but that's reactionary human is it that we actually uh are here to uh learn to have a uh Hal absolute Hal over our emotion which is directly connected to our purpose because from the beginning or uh it the problem the conflict is the conflict with our soul and our soul is about when we realize our soul and the unlimited power of the of the Mind serving us
to find realization of that soul and that is for every person unique what are the other things that are like Staples of your daily routine eat once a day you eat once a day yeah okay so you you wake so can you run me through a a perfect whm Hof day yeah in the morning uh I wake up uh next to my wife and my child the my youngest is uh is six and actually there's a new one coming I'm 65 but hey man I'm alive I'm sorry and I got a yeah I found a
younger woman eight and a half years ago we are very happy together and she says don't talk about it and I'm sorry but I'm very happy my oldest son is 42 and my youngest is going to be zero very soon so that's life I wake up and I I look at my beloveds next to me still sleeping and wow like Angels what time did you wake up 5:00 5:00 halfast 5 uh halfast 4 around there why so early that that is me now sometimes I just sleep until 9:00 okay it's I'm not really bound okay
but uh uh time is serving me I'm not serving time in the morning I do my exercising a ritual and I like my coffee in the morning I start no sugar just coffee a little bit milk and nice what are those exercising routines you saw me doing the split I want to do a world record by the way in three third of August in Germany with 4,000 people doing this and do you use weights or anything yeah a yeah use weights before not okay I I did push-ups it's like weight yeah your own weight so
you can do that or weights and uh uh I got a bar where normally you got put the weight on MH you do this it's about 10K yeah I make it Circle mhm like a stick if you do that 500 times it's you really go deep you go to your pain I if I do exercises I I do it to the threshold of pain and then I overcome the pain then it's then it's okay that is body awareness that body awareness I want to know feel feel that I live not know feel that I I'm
alive when's that first meal of the day uh later later in the day so no breakfast no no no no breakfast no lunch why no lunch because I I feel stuffed up I feel too much this is also part of conditioning I could also enjoy a very nice breakfast very nice breakfast is very nice you know with the sea and sitting there relax wow some eggs some this some that nice coffee hello how are you the newspaper or look at the phone it's enjoying life I I could do that but I I really enjoy the
feeling that I'm fasting inside a little that that I'm going against like the cold if you go to the cold then the cold doesn't come to you yeah when when the appetite comes I just DeLay So you fast for you're doing some 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 kid again intuition yeah intuition it's just how you felt yes because the external narrative is you got to have 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 just made up it's made up uh you should feel like any any animal in the world is not eating when it doesn't need to eat because it doesn't think it only eats when it feels and when it feels that it needs to eat his eyes become bigger becoming more alert adrenaline starts to run they become sharper they then all the systems are at work that is the way it it automatically exercises its all of body that's how I I live my life and I've
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 this week it's been 5 6 p.m. I think yesterday was 700 p.m. my first meal and I I I'm okay I I don't know what the you know but I yeah you enjoy life you enjoy the energies I focus better I have better conversations yeah yeah all that if you fast a little bit long and then you become sharper and it's a nice feeling once upon
a time if you had a business idea it was exceptionally difficult to get going but now in the age of Shopify it is exceptionally easy as many of you will know Shopify are a sponsor of this podcast if you don't know Shopify it's an exceptionally simple web platform for anybody that's got an idea that wants to transact on a global scale so things like these conversation cards which we sell we've sold using Shopify and it only took us a couple of clicks to get going so why did we choose Shopify for a number of reasons
but I think one of the big ones which goes unappreciated is their checkout system converts 36% better compared to other platforms and 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 try Shopify for $1 a month I've seen Shopify completely change people's lives and for many of you I think it could change yours when you look at our society and the 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 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 you've talked to me there about fasting as well is there anything else that you know whether it's relationships or our work or our purpose that is just a lie in your opinion oh yes our energy is being drained it's like thieving and uh uh uh uh we should have all the energy to bring happiness strength and health to our kids and to feel bright bright and shiny in life
but we don't because we have to do this do that take on stress and think about this think about that who did this whatever did this is is a massive Paradigm going on taking our en energetic bodies and with that our our emotions and with that our life force and and there it is the real philosophy serves that Paradigm where one becomes happy strong and healthy and is able to pass it on you're only good if you are able to be happy strong healthy inside and then pass it radiate that to others there you go
past your ego and that we we we don't live that we survive in this Society we live in a competitive world we have all kinds of rules in this and that but do we really feel bright and and the top the best of ourselves are we able to give love in full conviction that it is good and to others are we there I don't think so and that is what we are going to bring 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 somewhere do I you know what just be happy strong and healthy rest is [ __ ] just be happy strong and healthy and purpose will follow yes that is the purpose the characteristics of purpose is not to be in conflict with your soul happy strong and heal healthy then you become happy strong and healthy you don't need to work for that so much a couple of exercises more than enough if I do my exercise and I'm not a whole day working out it's it's 10 minutes 15 minutes but I'm ready this
morning because later I have a keynote speech and I got to go to the record label I got to meet somebody who is managing by government mid School of the England I got to meet them and and something else uh I I thought okay today I got to be ready so what I'm doing I breathe like a [ __ ] in there morning in bed and cleanse myself so deeply that I'm ready to take on anything that is coming and in that way I will absolutely serve and especially being with you which is a pleasure
a great pleasure we are serving purpose right over here unmistakably straight wh we have a closing tradition on this podcast where the last guest leaves a question for the next guest and my last guest left a question for you that is inside the Diary of a CEO and the question that was left for you is what is one thing you can do next week to prove to your friends or family that they matter to you more than your work oh oh work like work 9 to5 is work because my work is my life my work
is my mission and in the end it is not work I I feel all the to do that so next week more than my work to keep on what I'm doing right here right now do you believe in like work life balance you know people say work life balance you've got to yeah my wife is talking about that but I don't I don't feel that I feel I'm busy with my mission and with my daily life at the same time there is no work I have no night to five I think you have no night
