Temperature Increases during g-Tummo Meditation: Legend and Reality

[Barkadion]

Very interesting!

"Stories of g-tummo meditators mysteriously able to dry wet sheets wrapped around their naked bodies during a frigid
Himalayan ceremony have intrigued scholars and laypersons alike for a century. Study 1 was conducted in remote
monasteries of eastern Tibet with expert meditators performing g-tummo practices while their axillary temperature and
electroencephalographic (EEG) activity were measured. Study 2 was conducted with Western participants (a non-meditator
control group) instructed to use the somatic component of the g-tummo practice (vase breathing) without utilization of
meditative visualization...

...Overall, the results suggest that specific aspects of the g-tummo technique might help non-meditators learn how to
regulate their body temperature, which has implications for improving health and regulating cognitive performan".

This stuff's fascinating. Same with some of the experiments they've done on Himalayan yogis, like this one:

Rama was one of the first yogis tested by western scientists...the guy was able to control the temperature in his hands (independently of each other) and was also able to affect some change to his heart while being monitored. He called it "stopping the heart", but I don't know if that's the actual conclusion the scientists came to. But he did exert control over it enough in a way that was thought to be physiologically impossible.

I'll have to do some digging, but there's a fantastic youtube documentary out there about Tummo and the monks that do it.

Here is very detailed book about that. It’s rather advanced but practical. Tibetan tradition.

Sweet I'll take a look. From what I understand Wim Hoff uses Tummo methods for his cold-proofing as well.
