An amazing discovery was made by Singaporean scientists with the help of monks from Tibet. According to the Science Daily portal, it was the first time an increase in the total body temperature of meditators was recorded.
Researchers watched the monks during meditation. Despite at a temperature of about -25 degrees, their clothes are wet through and through. But right in front of astonished scientists, Buddhists began to dry your wet clothes with your own body temperature, which amounted to 38.3 degrees.
Inside, the monks bask with the help of a meditative technique that wears the name “Tummo” – Yoga of the inner fire. In short, it’s powerful internal visualization of a burning bonfire behind his back and certain breathing exercises. Buddhists also test this direction – they are sitting in the snow and trying to melt as much as possible more of it is around itself. As a result, the monks who have reached certain successes at Tummo, absolutely immune to low temperatures.
Conducting a similar experiment on Europeans Professor of the University of Singapore Maria Kozhevnikova. True, conditions were more benign, but the experiment brought certain fruit.
According to Kozhevnikova, Tummo helps bring temperature your body back to normal. This is an absolutely safe technique that not only monks practice, but also ordinary people. Exist advanced teachers who generally can almost endlessly raise body temperature, while feeling a powerful surge of strength. For general those who are far from Tibet can also benefit.
And this is how Tummo was described by Malarep, the teacher of Tibetan Buddhism: “Balance the vibrations of red and white in the umbilical center, and the mind will be illumined by comprehension, experiencing Heat as bliss … ”
From a scientific point of view, it is still not possible to explain these phenomena It turned out, although there were attempts. For example, in 1981 and 2000 Herbert Benson – Professor at Harvard University – Could establish that the monk can raise the temperature on the toes and hands more than 8 degrees Celsius. Even own appeared SPbU associate professor method using Tummo a rational explanation did not appear.
