Quitting Alcohol and Discovering the Wim Hof Method

Without question, quitting alcohol was the single best I have done in my life.

Stopping drinking gave me my self-esteem and a great sense of self-worth. It opened so many doors, not least the door to better wellness.

I’ve been on a relentless quest to learn the best practices to support my mind and body for the last eight years but I was always looking for that high. The thing to give me that buzz.

That was, until I discovered the Wim Hof Method.   The breathing practice on an emotional and energetic level gives me the feeling of perfect aliveness.  It gives me an indescribable sense of liberation and an elevated sense of peace.

In the moments when, I’m lying on my mat there feeling weightless, experiencing a heightened sense of presence just through my breath, I am constantly and utterly amazed at the power of this simple practice.

I feel completely connected to myself. It is magical.

It is even more powerful when I practice with others; the deepest sense of connection. 

Group breathwork opens hearts and fosters vulnerability, it is the experience of human connection in a pure and simple form.

Let’s look at 5 keys reasons you will want to start a breath-work practice.

Let me put It like this… We can survive three weeks without food, three days without water and only three minutes without oxygen.  

Yet 70% of us are chronic over-breathers, putting our bodies under a constant state of unnecessary stress which can lead to chronic inflammation.

Many of us are chronically operating In the fight-or-flight response which can show up In our day-to-day life as a headache, joint pain, skin conditions and fatigue to name a few.
