Tummo meditation
Tummo, which literally means ‘inner fire’, is an ancient meditation technique practiced by monks in Tibetan Buddhism. Tummo exists of a combination of breathing and visualization techniques, used to enter a deep state of meditation that is used to increase a person’s ‘inner heat’. This inner heat enables someone to control ones body temperature, for example keeping the body warm in cold conditions.
Everybody has this inner heat, but most people are not aware of it. Some people say Wim Hof is a practitioner of Tummo, but The Wim Hof Method and Tummo are comparable but different techniques. The Wim Hof Method mainly comes from what Wim calls ‘cold hard nature’ and has no religious components. Wim learned to withstand cold, heat and fear by subjecting himself to the bitter conditions of nature. And he can teach you to do the same.
