I think I've stumbled upon the ability to heat up my cold feet. At first I was able to do it during meditation. Now it seems that if I focus my attention on my feet and concentrate, I can make my feet warm once again. When I focus my attention on a particular part of my body, it's like my brain has shined a spotlight upon that area - this aspect isn't so much heating, but rather a subtle, noticed, yet implaceable sensation. Is anyone familiar with this?
Yes, on a basic level; attention on a body part bring blood there. On a deeper level though; yogis have known for centuries that intense concentration produces heat:)

lol discovering this? i believe owltwelve mentioned it more than few times in his journal and on other posts. no hard feelings but if there is any credit to be given it should be mostly towards owltwelve even though that this thread can be a refresher to those who have forgotten about this ability or for those who did not know.

I do practice Tummo, but I certainly can't take credit for discovering Tantra Anyone truly interested should checkout, The 6 yogas of Narpa; Essence of Vajrayana, or related books. Protecting the body from cold temperatures, is barely scratching the surface:)

I've noticed something similar. Warm socks of psi, clouds of heat around the body on a cold day, etc. But there's still a long way to go.
Though, the practice of tummo and the reading of "The 6 yogas of Naropa" hasn't gone too well for me. As if I've been trying to strike a nail into concrete with a pillow or something. For me the time has probably not come yet.
