> An art, called Tumo, is a way to generate large amounts of heat in the body, so that you do not get cold. There is a complicated way of teaching the full technique (which is known and proved in the annals of science)
Any pointers to the studies?
- TheAmazingIdiot 16y agoErrr, not really. You need to do and experiment. My path won't work the same as your path. Tumo is well documented on the process which monks (names including repa indicate mastery) use to practice in the strong cold winds of Tibet. One thing that helps learning is that of necessity. One of the first things to learn, in order to do tumo, is that of grounding, centering, and shielding. Then, after that, you learn how to go in a strong meditative trance In which you control parts of your subtle energy. Once you learn that, then you can direct the subtle energy in such a way that brings the psychic heat forth. I also live near Bloomington,IN and also receive help from the Buddhist monestary here. I would recommend that you find a temple and request help along this endeavor.
