I’ve been doing WHM for years, and it has been life changing, but I agree with everything he wrote here.
WHM basically teaches you to stop the stress and anxiety process by creating a controlled amount of additional stress, either by cold or low oxygen for a short period of time, and then learning the skill of calming your body down on purpose. Long term this helps eliminate stress and anxiety, but I agree it is dangerous if you are, e.g. already on the verge of a panic attack.
The calming part is also in his courses, and he also teaches calming breath techniques. It’s important to take his actual course and not just do the breathing exercise by itself.

- _yb2s 4y agoNo. It’s important to realize that this is basically a type of spiritual practice. The most important parts can’t easily be described in words, but I was able to pick them up from watching videos and following the emotional energy, not just the explicit instructions. Wim will often start singing randomly, and this singing is actually part of the lesson. I get annoyed when he tries to explain the science behind it, and clearly doesn’t understand what he is talking about. I think that does an injustice to what the method actually is.
- drekipus 4y agoThere's a lot of things like that out there where science fails to actually capture what is going on. You can miss out on a good portion of life and wisdom by only ever looking at "the science" (atheistic or otherwise)
