Die Flowgrade Show mit Max Gotzler Archiv

"Martin, lass einfach das Mikro anmachen. Das wird es schon aushalten!" Martin, unser botanisch versierter Ingenieur und Podcast Guy im Team schaut mich ein wenig skeptisch an. "Max, ich bin nicht sicher, ob das eine gute Idee ist." Nach ein paar Bekräftigungen, dass im schlimmsten Fall ich persönlich die Haftung trage, willigt Martin ein und wir nehmen unsere erste "Sauna Talks" Episode bei 90 Grad Celsius auf.

In einer finnischen Holzsauna im Flowgrade Headquarters sprechen Martin und ich über die nächsten Flowgrade Produkte, den Biohacker Summit in Helsinki, Wim Hof Atmung und wie du dein Gehirn flexibler machen kannst mit Neurofeedback und Binaural Beats. Viel Spaß und lasst uns unten in den Kommentaren wissen, was ihr von diesem "Sauna Talks"-Format haltet!

“So ein Atemabend kann einem schonmal ein bis zwei Jahre Psychotherapie ersparen.” - Klaus C. Ulbricht

Ein Schwall positiver Schwingungen empfing mich, als ich das erste Mal in Klaus’ und Vidya’s Wohnung trat. Es war angenehm hell, roch wohlig nach Räucherstäbchen und die etwa zehn anwesenden Personen strahlten und machten es sich in Schneidersitzen auf den herumliegenden Kissen bequem. Mein Kumpel Walther hatte mich zu einer Lichtatmung eingeladen und ich war schon ein bisschen aufgeregt, nachdem ich erfahren hatte, dass holotropes Atmen schon einer psychedelischen Erfahrung gleichkommt. Beim Lichtatmen wird eine Form von Hyperventilation genutzt, also schnelles, kräftiges Atmen, um sich während der Meditation in einen veränderten Geisteszustand zu versetzen. Die Sitzung war in der Tat beeindruckend.

In diesem Beitrag vom Functional Training Summit 2016 in München spreche ich über die Kunst des Biohackings, wie es genau definiert wird und wie du sofort damit loslegen kannst. Ich präsentiere dir 10 Methoden (plus 3 Bonus Biohacks), die für mich funktionieren und mir dabei helfen, mich jeden Tag mit Energie, Fokus und Flow zu versorgen. Vielleicht kennst du die ein oder andere Methode schon aber ich bin mir sicher, einige werden komplett neu für dich sein. Besonders bei den Bonus-Hacks ging ein interessiertes Raunen durch das Publikum. Kannst du erraten, bei welchem?
