Tummo- Identifying with Awareness over Objects
The practice of TUMO aims to shift our identification from objects of awareness to awareness itself. By focusing on awareness rather than the contents of awareness, we can experience luminosity free from attachment to external objects. TUMO involves manipulating biological elements like the winds, channels, and hormonal centers to connect with clear light awareness. This practice is more than just breath retention and posture; it requires concentrative skills and visualization to increase core temperature. Initially, the shift to expansive awareness outside the ego can evoke feelings of terror or annihilation, but this challenging response may be part of the intended process of TUMO.
