Tibetan Monks

In Southern Asia, specifically Tibet, monks claim to have learned how to control their body temperatures using an ancient form of meditation called “Tum-mo.” According to Buddhism, the life we live is not all there is; there is a sort of alternate reality. By practicing Tum-mo, these monks are supposedly reaching that other world. When they do Tum-mo, they generate a significant amount of heat.
