::Don't try this at home, folks. Unless you are experienced in Tantric Yoga.::

For those unfamiliar with Tummo, here is a clip from a brilliant documentary about Tibetan Lamas:


Essentially, these Tibetans have developed a practice in which they can sit in snow in the mountains with their naked bodies covered by wet sheets; then using nothing but their own body and tummo, they can create so much internal heat that steam rises off their backs and they can dry their wet sheets in the frigid temperatures of Tibet.

I would very much like to learn this. Well as they say, when the student is ready the teacher will appear.
