Inner Heat Practices: Tummo and Wim Hof Method
Episode 62 · Series 3 — A Year of Body, Speech & Mind
With Wim Hof, Elissa Epel, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal, and Alejandro Chaoul-Reich
Tibetan tummo is an ancient method for cultivating inner fire — the joy, bliss, and warmth of our being. We all naturally have these qualities within us, but they are often unreliably available because we have not learned to access them or to stabilize our attention in open awareness. With practice, tummo is said to produce the “inner fire of realization.”
How is this inner fire produced? Does it manifest as actual heat? How does this inner fire heal?
To find answers to these and other questions, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, who among many Tibetan practices also teaches tummo, Alejandro Chaoul-Reich and their guests discuss these and other practices that generate inner heat. Dr. Epel shares some of her ongoing research into the Wim Hof Method and breathing practices. Wim Hof enthusiastically describes how breathing practices, in cold environments, improve the body’s ability to handle stress and slow aging.
