Increase of body temp via meditation proven and could be useful.

[Sagittarius]

So I just came across this journal where recently it has been proven that experienced meditators can increase there body temp to slight fever levels purely through cognitive visualization of fire in and around there bodies.

Seams this has a few beneficial affects on the mind and the body. May have to begin practicing this and work it into my morning meditation. See if it provides any noticeable boost to my cognitive activity before University or during general learning.

I'am starting to notice much more western scientific investigation into eastern traditions and practices and a lot of the time they are finding them to be surprisingly beneficial. Especially in psychology, so many Eastern philosophy based therapies are now being recognized as a legit way to treat people.

Future studies of experts in g-tummo meditation who are capable of elevating and maintaining elevated CBT may offer promising research insights and approaches to investigating mechanisms of CBT regulation. Because many variables underlying neuronal functioning (e.g., transport via ion-selective channels, amplitude and duration of single-unit spikes) are temperature-dependent [42], [43], possibility of self-regulation of CBT may have a direct effect on self-regulating and maximizing neurocognitive activity. If future studies show that it is possible to self regulate CBT, by mastering vase breathing in conjunction with guided mental imagery without extensive meditation experience, it will open a wide range of possible medical and behavior interventions, such as adapting to and functioning in hostile (cold) environments, improving resistance to infections, boosting cognitive performance by speeding response time, and reducing performance problems associated with decreased body temperature as reported in human factor studies of shift work and continuous night operations
