When it comes to the Wim Hof Method, I have heard of people having very intense experiences like borderline out of body type stuff, but that was never the case for me. It was more of a calming, at peace feeling I got especially during the breathhold at the end, and I continued because I liked that feeling. It also did feel like it boosted my energy, which at the time I needed. I haven't actually done it in a while. I have been doing cold exposure via cold showers, which Wim also is a proponent of but when it comes to the breathing technique I've been focusing on other areas, although knowing what I know now of how the WHM serves as a sort of controlled stressor and functions to stimulate and strengthen your autonomic nervous system, I may get back into doing it as another tool in addition to cold exposure, working out, and other controlled stressors.
