Tumo is a meditation technique linked to a goddess of fire, practiced primarily by a specific group of Buddhist monks in Nepal. This technique differs significantly from other breathing methods like Kapal Bhati and Nadi Shuddhi, as it is aimed at cultivating inner energy and passion. Scientific studies, including one from 1982, have shown that Tumo practitioners can raise the temperature of their fingers and toes by up to eight degrees Celsius, demonstrating its powerful energizing effects. This ability enables them to withstand extreme cold without additional clothing. The physiological underpinnings may involve increased brown fat production, although further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms. Tumo also enhances cognitive function, providing a holistic energizing effect. Practical applications of Tumo include using it in challenging environments, such as outdoors in cold weather, where participants experience significant warmth and revitalization through the practice. This meditation technique stands out for its unique approach and significant energizing impact.
