And he goes even further, exposing himself to sub-zero temperatures and icy waters, with a control of mind and body that leaves you speechless. But who is Wim Hof, aka Ice Man?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>A method based on three pillars<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Born in 1959 in the Netherlands, Wim Hof grew up in a modest family of nine children. At the age of 17, he plunged into his first cold-water bath. This brief moment in his life was a revelation: the young man found himself in total osmosis with his physiology, and developed a passion for the practice. Already close to nature and Zen philosophies, <strong>Wim Hof discovered that his spirituality and connection to himself were enhanced by low-temperature mercury<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, he fine-tunes his method for staying longer in icy waters and resisting the cold ever more strongly. Wim Hof became Iceman, and popularized these <strong>shivering experiences<\/strong> around the world. And while one might think that Wim Hof&#8217;s ability is rare and genetic, he denies it and values training. His twin doesn&#8217;t have the same stamina as he does.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/en\/who-is-wim-hof-the-ice-man-whos-not-afraid-of-the-cold\/\">Click here to read the entire article<\/a> on Luxus Magazine<\/p>\n<p>Featured Photo: \u00a9 Instagram Wim Hof<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He thrills audiences and impresses scientists.
