Our amazing mind power – the Iceman

Amazing Mind Power

Wim Hof has done many feats that are commonly believed to be impossible. Here, in this TEDx talk, they review how he stayed in an ice bath for 80 minutes and showed no absolutely ill effects. He did this while being studied by scientists. What he does is related to the Tibetan practice of tummo meditation that allows him to use his mind power. I love some of the quotes from Wim Hof in this video;

  • We are “not in balance with nature any more, that is gone”
  • “go back to be in balance with nature… nature is our teacher”
  • and near the end he says “we all have healing powers, really really got it”

He’s done many other things that are commonly considered impossible. Like running marathons in the Arctic and climbing Everest in just shorts and nothing else (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=4393377). You can see his own website here – http://www.icemanwimhof.com

And there’s even a US government sponsored clinical trial (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01835457) that  admits that “Concentration/Meditation Limits Inflammation” at least for Wim Hof and they were going to test this on other people in the first half of 2013.

This is just one solid example that proves that the mind is more powerful than we’re led to believe.  It’s clear we can do amazing things when we activate our mind power. The combination of the mind and the body is very powerful indeed. By proper application of our mind power, we can directly influence the health of all parts of our body.

Hi, I'm Peter Whiting. For my whole life I've been a scientist, but my life has taken a new track. Starting about 8 years ago, I began to realise that so much of our standard way of living just isn't right. We need to become more aware, press the reset button and try to live life in the right direction.
