Below are the benefits I experienced automatically from doing Wim Hof. I understood only today why I got those beneficials after having conversations with people who are in meditation/yoga for months/years but still unable to control their negative habits/emotions. This is the science - https://www.wimhofmethod.com/science where WHM let us control our thinking and emotions automatically.

Emotion - Any person or situations no longer make me feel upset. I completely feel numb despite all mess happening around me. I simply just do what needs to be done objectively.

Emotion - My bad thoughts, negative emotions and behaviours are automatically shut down with less or no mental efforts.

Emotion - When I think about any bad past of mine, memories are simply like watching TV and no longer caused me any emotions.

Content - Being in a stable state of awareness makes me feel liberated - a feeling of freedom from stresses and anxiety due to internal self thoughts or external environments/people/factors.

Control - Controlling my mind has become effortless. I no longer need to try twice or many times in telling myself what I should do, how I should react to things, people and situations.

Communication - In daily communication, I now see each person as it is without automatically adding judgements, assumptions or jumping to conclusions.

Change - My old-habit firmly fixed ideas, thoughts, addictions or behavioural patterns no longer influence me.

Mindset - I have less or no occurrences of dilemma and confusion in making decisions.

Content - I constantly looked for fun like vacation, staycation, events and many stuffs to make myself happy. Now I don't feel the need to be happy any more. I just feel content within awareness.

Habit - After a month of daily practice, meditation has become automatic like essential daily routines without reminders. And it's effortless, resistance-less and going wth the flow.

I shared my notes, mistakes and approaches at https://dailyhappy.life/manuals/inner.practices/?view=default

Peace and blessing.

I also want to see Wim Hof added as a mindfulness task.

Holotropic breathwork should be integrated into the Fitbit device and app as an exercise or mindfulness option.

It could be an extension to the current EDA scan exercise which suggests doing a breathing exercise.

Alternatively, it could be integrated with the Wim Hof Method app on iOS.

Hi @Adam_8, thanks for explaining why you would like to have more options in regards to Holotropic breathwork. I've moved it into a similar request. I think that a lot of users would like to have this option on their Fitbit devices. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

You can read more about the Relax app for Fitbit devices here: How do I start a guided breathing session? and how to practice guided meditations on the Discover tab in the Fitbit app: What's Fitbit Premium?

Thank you again for your participation in the Feature Suggestions Forums.

I would also like to be able to link my Wim Hof app with my Fitbit to help get a more accurate record of my stress management. I do the breathing exercises everyday and would love to be able to see how my meditation practice works in conjunction with the Fitbit measurements. Thanks!
