Tummo Practice šŸ¬

Resources
1

My Lu Jong teacher shared this video with me yesterday :heart_eyes:

Was looking to see if thereā€™s anything here specifically and detailed about Tummoā€¦ since there isnā€™t, here comes this thread.

Resume of the video:
There is Foundational Tumo and the practice in this video is such.
Itā€™s for those who wish to have: a healthy body, increased self-healing abilities, and a calm, happy mind.

Things from daily life that increase our inner fire:

  1. practicing liking people :heart_eyes: people are the best field for igniting your inner fire :fire:
  2. eating not too much and not too less, allowing space for the fire and winds to flow
  3. wearing not too many clothes. wearing several layers of clothes can take your self-healing powers away.

This practice gives us clear, calm warm waters :ocean:

from minute 17:55 one, we have the practice.

@NightHawk999 I did it yesterday for the first timeā€¦ had a deep feeling that I had done it beforeā€¦ in another life.

@Dream_Hacker did you watch this video?

Tumo

"Inner heat (gtum mo, skt. chandali, literally meaning ā€œfierce, hot or savage womanā€) practice is the foundation for the rest of the six dharmas and is the first of the six dharmas.[9][10] This practice works with the subtle body (also known as the vajra-body) system of channels (nadis), winds (lung, vayu), drops (bindus) and chakras. Through inner heat, the vital winds are caused to enter into the central channel (avadhuti), causing the four blisses or joys which is then unified with the wisdom that understands emptiness.[9]

This practice is a kind of pranayama, that generally involves sitting with a straight back, visualizing the channels, holding the breath deep in the abdomen for extended periods (called ā€œvase breathā€, kumbhaka), then applying visualization of a fiery short stroke AH syllable on the navel. This practice leads the vital winds into the central channel, where they are said to melt the drops (bindus, which are tiny spheres of subtle energy) causing great bliss.[11] This powerful bliss experience ā€œis said to constitute a similitude of the actual bliss experienced in spiritual awakening (byang chub, bodhi).ā€[12]

According to Glenn Mullin, tantric scriptures state that the tantric bliss experienced in this practice is ā€œa hundred times more intense than ordinary sexual orgasm, [and] gives rise to a special state of consciousness.ā€[13] This ecstatic state of mind is then used to contemplate emptiness. This ā€œecstasy conjoined with (the wisdom of) emptinessā€[13] is what is referred to as Mahamudra (ā€˜Great Sealā€™).[13]

Upside down Tibetan script Haį¹ƒ seed syllable

Tilopaā€™s verses of the six dharmas briefly outlines the practice as follows:

The yogic body, a collection of energy channels, coarse and subtle, possessing the energy fields, is to be brought under control. The method begins with the physical exercises. The vital airs [i.e., energies] are drawn in, filled, retained and dissolved. There are the two side channels, the central channel avadhuti, and the four chakras. Flames rise from the chandali fire at the navel. A stream of nectar drips down from the syllable HAM at the crown, invoking the four joys. There are four results, like that similar to the cause, and six exercises that expand them."

Thank you! No, I havenā€™t watched this. I definitely want to integrate tummo, but havenā€™t found an approachable resource for it yet.

Hah, try that when itā€™s -20C outside. Interesting, though, that I mostly prefer light clothing. But this time of year, when itā€™s damp and cold, I layer up.

red - patience in the path of the heart (Camino Rojo)
orange - enjoy and delight in every step
orange gold - shine bright
yellow - humility
raw white - mustang power (100% LOVE)

Thanks for asking. I do like to register these things. You inspired me to also register it on my intuition book.

Tibetan Buddhism: Secrets of the Yogis of Tibet - Part 5

I thought about sharing this today, and this was the link for me to do it!

In my daily Tummo practice, the most significant set of breathing and visualizations, I repeat it SIX times.
Naturally, to improve my focus, also discovering that numbers donā€™t work so well for me to remember in which one I am, sacred geometry came to help:
:ocean: 1 - I see my central channel shining blue radiant energy;
:woman_fairy: 2 - I see Pi, as a kind of a portal that most recently has evolved into a pair of wings behind me (but it always starts with magical Pi);
:fire: 3 - I see a fire triangle;
:yellow_square: 4 - I see a square;
:star: 5 - I see a pentacle;
:star_of_david: 6 - I see a radiant golden light star of David.

This has empowered and preserved my focus in all else that is needed for my daily Tummo Practice, which I feel that has now entered fully in my system.

yehaaaaaay!
