  Just loosen up the body a little, stand. Just mind your body for now, just for a minute. So shut up there. Just be and feel who you are. You feel your feet on the ground, your arms, and that's it. And now breathe in. And let go. What we do right now is to make a physiological reset of the nervous system. And the shape of the body is becoming better. And it is no effort. It feels like, "Hey, I can go on, what's happening?" That's chemistry. Learning how to control stress hormone.

  So if we are too stressed, we gotta go to the mechanism who is producing the stress and we have no control. With this one, you reset the stress hormone mechanism, the brain stand, within four minutes. And afterwards, you feel good. Because the connection is there and... I'm not saying feeling is understanding. Okay, there you go. Okay, I say now, breathe in. Let go. Breathe in. 28. Get them in again. Just go with the flow. No minding, just go.

  You feel what you feel as you're breathing. We are oxanagizing the body right now. It's getting into all the cells. Not only the carbon dioxide is going down, oxygen is getting in. Body becomes alkaline. What do you need to perform? You need alkalinity. Because of the oxygenation, alkalinity comes in. That's what you need to perform. Now, because you are so stressed, you are not connected to the brain stem. In the brain stem is the directory of the hormonal system.

• 2:25Wim Hof?

  We will consciously go into a physiological state of not having oxygen, because we're gonna do push-ups after exhalation, that turns on the brain stem and resets whatever is causing the stress. The hormonal system, the stress hormone adrenaline, epinephrine, cortisol, and it is controlled, it resets it. Okay, and you get a good figure out of it.

• 2:59Wim Hof?

  Now, you got already a good figure, okay, no minding about that. Go on. Fifteen.
