I have been studying and practicing tibetan buddhism for a little over a year now, particularly dream yoga, but branched into some of the other practices. I'm always a skeptic but it is fascinating some of the stuff they can do. There is scientific evidence they can raise and lower their body temperatures through meditation, withstanding great heat/cold and deprivation conditions. I've played around with deprivation and what it has done for my mental health and body has surprised me. I'm but a novice, but I absolutely believe they are tapping into something scientific about the body/mind that is still unknown.
There are reasons to be extremely skeptical about some of their claims, but, some of it is very interesting and credible.
- Polonium86 9mo agoDo you have some literature resources on where to start reading on that stuff?
- JohnMakin 9mo agothe translation of their texts is widely available, I started with tibetan yoga and secret doctrines by evan-wentz. There’s a lot of lore and tradition you need to understand for some of it but the gist is there.
