How Should I Breathe - Wim Hof vs Conscious Breathing

Ever since I founded Conscious Breathing in 2009, people’s interest in breathing as a health promoter, performance enhancer and a way to personal and spiritual growth has increased more and more, which brings me much joy. In yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and qigong, different breathing techniques are central. Perhaps you’ve heard of the Buteyko breathing method? It’s a Russian method that is spreading across the globe, founded by the late Professor Konstantin Buteyko. Rebirthing and Holotropic breathing are two other popular ways of using breathing to change the state of mind and improve one’s health.

One of the methods that has attracted the most interest is the Wim Hof Method. Therefore, a common question is what makes Conscious Breathing different from Wim Hof breathing. Which way to breathe is correct? Which method is best? Is it possible to combine the two?

The Relaxator was invaluable when I did my first ice bath ever! It was -12C (10F). It helped calm my breathing quickly, allowing me to really enjoy the bath! It was magical to use the Relaxator both before, during, and after the ice bath. I'm hooked!

CarboHaler

The CarboHaler is a device that adds extra carbon dioxide to the air you inhale while at the same time reducing the amount of oxygen you take in. But wait a minute. When it comes to breathing, oxygen is the good guy and carbon dioxide is the bad guy, right!? So why add extra CO2 and reduce oxygen in the air you inhale?

Well, even though we are very dependent on oxygen, it's all about balance. Your car doesn’t go better if you give it more fuel. Too much is just as bad as getting too little fuel. Your car needs the right amount of fuel, which will differ depending on how fast you drive. It is exactly the same with our breathing. Your intake of oxygen and exhale of excess carbon dioxide should match your metabolic demand.

So if you want to increase your body's gas mileage and improve your oxygen efficiency - boosting carbon dioxide and restricting oxygen is the way to go.

Reduce Mental
Stress

promotes relaxation by adjusting your breathing patterns. By increasing carbon dioxide and slightly reducing oxygen intake, it helps calm the nervous system, easing tension and enhancing mental clarity naturally.

Slow Down Your Breathing

encourages calmness by helping you take deeper, slower breaths. This technique reduces anxiety, promotes relaxation, and enhances overall well-being by allowing your body to enter a more peaceful, relaxed state.

Heal Emotional Wounds

supports emotional recovery by fostering self-reflection and inner calm. Through mindful breathing, it helps release emotional tension, promotes resilience, and encourages a deeper sense of peace and healing.

Cardisuit

The Cardisuit is a system designed to help bathe the entire body (up to the neck) in carbon dioxide gas. Once you’re in the Cardisuit, at first all the air is vaccum pumped out and then the suit is filled up with 100% carbon dioxide. The CO2 is then absorbed through your skin, which will open up your blood vessels.

Many people report feeling very relaxed and will even fall asleep while using the Cardisuit. A parasympathetic deluxe experience.

Why Carbon Dioxide?

When we inhale we take in oxygen, which is used to produce energy (ATP) efficiently. In this process of manufacturing energy, which is called metabolism, our body also produces heat, water, and carbon dioxide. The excess carbon dioxide is exhaled. However, if we are stressed, our breathing will increase and we will exhale too much CO2. If we are inactive, our metabolism will decrease, and less CO2 is produced. Combining the two, stress and inactivity, has a double negative effect resulting in lower levels of carbon dioxide in our body.

For what can the Cardisuit be used?

Carbon dioxide baths have been known to reduce body pain, increase metabolic rate and fat burning, increase in energy and for firming, softer and more youthful looking skin. Even if you have no health issues currently you can use it to take your health to the next level, have more energy, recover from fatigue faster and increase your overall vitality.
