The Tibetan inner-heat practice — vigorous breaths, a held breath with the body engaged, and a slow release.
Tummo, meaning "inner fire" in Tibetan, is a meditation practice from Vajrayana Buddhism that combines forceful breathing, visualization of an internal flame, and muscular locks (bandhas) to generate measurable body heat. Harvard research on Tibetan monks documented skin temperature increases of up to 8°C during practice. The vigorous breathing phase floods the body with oxygen and primes the sympathetic nervous system, while the retention with muscular engagement directs energy inward. Practitioners report heightened alertness, warmth, and a powerful sense of focused vitality.
