Podcasts about Tummo

In this episode I am once again joined by Alex W, long term practitioner of Zen, Pragmatic Dharma, and Western Occultism. Alex lays out his ideal curriculum of practices to achieve awakening including a full technique sequence, explanation of the signs of success at each stage, and the various post-awakening paths that are available. Alex details the energetic openings that occur after awakening and how to nurture them, contrasts Buddhist tummo to Daoist inner alchemy, and explains the process to open the psychic senses. Alex challenges the meditation retreat model of practice which he sees as putting economic concerns over student benefit, offers his opinion on the amount of time one should spend in daily meditation, and emphasises the importance of retaining one's autonomy in the spiritual market place. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep335-how-to-guide-for-awakening-beyond-alex-w-3 Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

In this profound episode, Jordan sits down with Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche, a revered Buddhist master, doctor of Tibetan medicine, and global teacher of the Tummo (Inner Fire) practice. From his early life in Eastern Tibet to his mission of spreading ancient wisdom throughout the world, Tulku Lobsang shares insights into how the harmony between body, mind, and energy creates true happiness and health. He explains the meaning behind Tummo, the ancient practice of awakening inner heat through breath, movement, and awareness, and how it unites body and mind in the present moment. Tulku Lobsang reveals his own daily routine, the value of sleep and reading, and how understanding balance in food and behaviour leads to lasting wellbeing. As the conversation deepens, Tulku Lobsang offers an extraordinary perspective on meditation, describing its stages from waterfall-like chaos to the stillness of a calm ocean. He and Jordan explore AI and consciousness, and sharing a rare Buddhist view on whether artificial intelligence could one day possess awareness—and what lessons it would need to learn to truly be sentient.

Christine Albrecht ist Coach, Therapeutin und langjährige Praktizierende verschiedener buddhistischer Traditionen. Sie hat kürzlich ein zehntägiges Dunkelretreat absolviert – eine intensive Erfahrung. Sie erzählt, wie sich in der völligen Dunkelheit Meditation, Körperarbeit und tiefes inneres Erforschen verdichten und welche Erkenntnisse daraus entstehen.Ein zentrales Thema ist Dzogchen, die höchste Lehre des tibetischen Buddhismus. Wie kann man diesen Zustand von Gewahrsein im Alltag integrieren? Welche Missverständnisse gibt es rund um das «Ego zerschlagen»? Und warum kann ein zu früher oder rein intellektueller Zugang zu Dzogchen problematisch sein?Wir sprechen über:

TUMMO Yoga del Calor Interno. El tumo se relaciona con la descripción de las sensaciones de intenso calor en el cuerpo. Se dice ser un efecto parcial de la circulación del prana por los chakras. Consiste en "generar", con la "visualización". En tal caso, se suele imaginar una esfera luminosa y cálida en el interior del cuerpo. La esfera es imaginada como constituida por el prana que se aspira y se deberá saber distribuirla mediante "técnicas" precisas basadas en el ejercicio de la respiración, la relajación y la concentración de la atención en determinadas partes del cuerpo. El calor psíquico o Tumo se considera la base fundamental para la apertura de los chakras y debe ser capaz de absorber la mayor enseñanza de los seis yogas de Naropa. Desde el punto de vista de la religión budista tibetana la disciplina puede tener una función ascética. Y supone que el tu-mmo se genera en una bindu (‘semilla') ubicada en los chakrás. Ese tummo es prana que se distribuye en el cuerpo mediante la red de nadís (canales).. Enterémonos de la historia...

In dieser faszinierenden Episode habe ich die Ehre, Sylvester Walch zu begrüßen, einen renommierten Experten auf dem Gebiet des Holotropen Atmens, der mit einem tiefgreifenden Hintergrund in Psychologie und spirituellen Praktiken ein reiches Wissen und jahrelange Erfahrung in dieser transformativen Atemtechnik mitbringt. Das Holotrope Atmen, entwickelt von Stanislav und Christina Grof, ist eine machtvolle Methode zur Selbsterforschung und Heilung, die durch beschleunigtes Atmen, Musik und Körperarbeit erlebt wird.  In unserem Gespräch erkunden wir, wie das Holotrope Atmen als Werkzeug für persönliches Wachstum und Heilung dient. Dr. Walch teilt mit uns seine Einblicke darüber, wie diese Praxis nicht nur das emotionale und psychische Wohlbefinden verbessern kann, sondern auch einen tiefen Einblick in die menschliche Psyche bietet. Er diskutiert ihre Anwendungen und die transformative Kraft, die sie auf die Teilnehmer hat.  Dieses Interview bietet einen seltenen Einblick in das Herz des Holotropen Atmens und ist ein Muss für jeden, der sich für alternative Heilmethoden, Psychologie und die Erweiterung des menschlichen Bewusstseins interessiert. 0:02:30 Erfahrung mit Holotropen Atmen und Empfehlung von Stan Grof 0:03:16 Grenzen der traditionellen Psychotherapie und Suche nach ganzheitlicheren Ansätzen 0:10:31 Verbindung zwischen früheren Erlebnissen und Atemtherapie 0:17:40 Wilhelm Reich als Begründer der körperpsychotherapeutischen Richtungen 0:21:32 Schnelleres Atmen als Einstiegshilfe in veränderte Bewusstseinszustände 0:25:03 Alles zuzulassen und zum Ausdruck zu bringen 0:28:13 Alle Aspekte des menschlichen Seins sind willkommen 0:31:13 Körperarbeit bei der Verarbeitung von Traumata 0:34:29 Rolle des Sitters als Begleiter und Erfahrungsraum-Wächter 0:37:47 Kommunikation und Schutzmechanismen für den Erfahrenden und den Sitter 0:41:41 Einfluss der Atemarbeit auf verschiedene klinische Bilder und Persönlichkeitsstörungen 0:44:54 Umgang mit labilem Hintergrund und feindseligem Verhalten 0:47:48 Erforschung des eigenen Bewusstseins und spirituellen Welten 0:49:37 Arbeit mit Substanzen 0:53:16 Gefahren von Substanzen und Nachsorge 0:56:39 Die innere Stimme als Führung und Unterstützung 1:04:30 Langfristige Auswirkungen von traumatischen Erfahrungen 1:07:28 Wichtigkeit eines therapeutischen Hintergrunds für Traumabewältigung 1:08:43 Phänomenologische Arbeitsweise und Selbstheilungskräfte des Klienten 1:09:58 Spirituelle Achtsamkeit und Mitgefühl 1:13:00 Unterschied zwischen Alltagsübung und Selbsterforschung 1:17:56 Kräfte der Homöostase und Selbstheilungskräfte durch Hyperventilation 1:20:33 Erfahrungen mit holotropem Atmen und Bewusstseinszuständen 1:21:57 Die Bedeutung der Verbundenheit und des Vertrauens Homepage Sylvester Walch Neue hochkarätige Inhalte im Atemcodeclub!

Welcome to Yoga Poetry Radio. Today we are going to practice a breath that is called “cyclic hyperventilation” by the scientists and academics. It incorporates some elements of yoga's Agni Sara and also a Tibetan style breath called Tummo popularized by Wim Hof. Expect this breath to feel awkward at first but it requires no special equipment. We will begin by taking comfortable seat. Let your spine be upright. Turn your attention inward and engage the observer self. Welcome, without judgement, whatever you find. Be curious. (Pause) Let's take a breath together. Exhale all the breath from your lungs. Inhale through your nose. Open mouth exhale. One more time, in through the nose, open moth exhale. Seal your lips and begin to breathe on your own. We will begin with the practice of Diaphragmatic Breathing. Draw your attention to your diaphragm, the jellyfish-like muscle that is nestled at the base of your ribcage. Parallel to that is your pelvic floor, a hammock of muscles at the base of your spine. These two muscle frameworks create the bottom and top of the canister of your torso. They move in tandem to each other when you breathe. The diaphragm on the inhale and in turn compresses and flattens the pelvic floor to create the vacuum in your chest that draws the breath in. When you press the air out both structures move upwards respectively. Practice being aware of this right now. Allow your belly to relax and expand outwards on your inhale. Pull everything, belly and pelvic floor, inward and upward as you exhale. Be conscious of this movement during the next few minutes while I explain Cyclic Hyperventilation. This consciousness of breathing with awareness of the pelvic floor is is a therapy in and of itself. Be aware of this all day long, through all activities, and it will have the biggest change of anything on your life. Cyclic Hyperventilation has been studied extensively in recent years in thanks to the amazing cold-temperature feats of Wim Hof. He has used breathing to withstand hypothermia and frostbite and even E.coli in one particular study. We will breathe all the way in through the nose. This gives you the benefits of nasal nitric oxide production, which is necessary to your heart. And all the way out through the mouth to really exhale all the carbon dioxide from your lungs. This breath will allow you to hold the out breath for longer and through the process release of hormones and cytokines which help regulate your immune system and reduce inflammation. Read more about this in the resources linked below in the show notes. In addition, during the hold, we can explore the practice of Agni Sara here, which is a semi-involuntary muscular pandiculation. The tummy, when the breath empties out and the diaphragm pulls up under the ribs, naturally pulls back into the spine in an abdominal contraction. This has been used as postpartum therapy in the National Healthcare programs of France and Spain and will strengthen and rehabilitate core and pelvic floor health after birth and realign displaced organs after pregnancy. To set up the conditions for Agni Sara, you tuck your chin while holding on the out breath. Lengthen your spine and pull your diaphragm up under your ribs. Here your stomach may hollow out and you can connect to that feeling of the drawing upwards of your pelvic floor. If this does not happen for you in this first practice, not to worry, with continued practice and proper awareness, it will. I look forward to creating a future episode on pelvic floor awareness.Find the book Breath, linked below. In the chapter entitled “Hold It” Nestor makes the case that Carbon Dioxide Therapies had long been studied and proclaimed to be helpful, but somehow that knowledge was lost in the 1950s as the hopes of new pill-form promises took its place. That is all to say that the breathing practice I share today has been proven by many peer-reviewed studies and you should figure out how to make this a part of your regular practice. Haha.As Andrew Huberman, YouTube phenom and professor at Stanford, podcast linked below, says the protocol for this practice is about 30 breaths, for about 3 cycles. This does not need to be an exact practice. Begin this as an exploration, doing the best you can, noticing your incremental change in comfort level as you practice it regularly. Expect this to feel awkward at first and with time get more comfortable. It certainly has for me.First just listen as I describe the process, then I will direct you to stand and practice with me. It begins with hands on thighs to allow your tummy to hang relaxed. Then I will count, while you follow along, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through the mouth. Do the best you can and don't worry too much about doing it right. If you feel light headed, sit down. Do not practice this when driving a car, or near water, or at the edge of a cliff, because you may get light headed. When I get to the last one, you will know it, because my exhale will be louder and longer. At that point you will, press the air all the way out, then hold on the out breath for as long as is comfortable. As soon as you feel the urge to breathe, do so. Pause and stand to feel your whole body. This is a refreshing and enlivening practice. Let's begin. Take the posture, stand feet a little wider than hip-distance apart, knees bent and seat back in chair posture with hands resting on your thighs. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Let's go.(practice)When you are ready come back to seated. We will close with the sound of OM. Listen along or join me. Bring your hands together at your heart. As Shakespeare says, And palm to palm is holy palmers kiss. All the merit we just created in this practice will vibrationally be sent out with the sound of om and shared with all other beings, known or unknown, nearby or far away.Thank you for listening and if you find this information and practice helpful please feel free to share it.

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art Check out my courses https://lnk.bio/vinod Buy the Book English version https://amzn.to/3D5bIDO There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren't found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.

Yoga del Calor Interior, TUMMO El Tummo, es nuestro fuego de sabiduría. De forma natural, tenemos esta calidez en nuestro interior, en la zona por debajo del chakra del ombligo, pero normalmente, no somos conscientes de ello, y no la utilizamos. Cuando generamos una concentración adecuada, y empezamos a trabajar con nuestro fuego interno, podemos transformarnos completamente. Empleando la visualización, técnicas de respiración, y movimiento, conectamos con nuestro fuego interno, y lo generamos cada vez más grande. Trabajamos con nuestra respiración, elevándola de nivel, y esto cambia nuestra sangre. Esta sangre caliente, a su vez afecta a nuestras hormonas. No hablamos mucho en un nivel académico, pero podemos experimentar, los profundos cambios, que resultan, cuando cultivamos el fuego del Tummo, y lo repartimos por todo el cuerpo. Esto no solo es visualización, sino algo real. En un nivel físico, el fuego interno es responsable, de la temperatura de nuestro cuerpo. Del calor de la digestión, y el metabolismo, se extrae el calor, que potencia las reacciones químicas, y fabrica las hormonas. En un nivel energético, el fuego del Tummo, resplandece por los canales, derritiendo los bloqueos más sutiles, y haciendo aumentar repentinamente, la energía por todo el cuerpo. Sintamos el relato...

In today's podcast I talk about: Dopamine fasting helps you get rid of bad habits like checking WhatsApp constantly. My 24 hr fast after a long time. Excellent progress on my book on breathing. Wim Hof breathing, Tummo breathing.

YouTube episode: https://youtu.be/QhfpLYvjVN8 The image on the thumbnail shows a yogi in meditation with the three channels on the spinal column. Next to his mouth is the Tibetan letter Ha ཧ. Above his head is a flame, and above that flame, the letter A ཨ, and from that letter A ཨ we see a splendorous radiation and then an image of heaven or nirvana (click here for the full image: https://i.imgur.com/Hl2QZQu.jpg) This image is related to a tradition called Tummo, which is a particular type of technique that is taught in a variety of schools of Buddhism. In the Gnostic tradition we call it Pranayama. There are many varieties of Pranayama exercises. The Sanskrit word Pranayama means “to harness the winds.” It is not referring to physical wind, but ethereal wind—in other words, what we call "ether". To harness the winds is to harness energies. Those energies is shown here in this path that leads to this temple in the internal (Astral) worlds. The yogi is using mantras; these letters are A and Ha, but they did not paint the whole mantra. The whole mantra is "Ham-Sah". The sound that makes the fire is: "Ssssssssaaaahhh". The image shows the vowel Ha ཧ by his mouth. When practicing the pranayama Ham-Sah, "Ham" is the mantra we pronounce mentally when we breathe in; we breathe in the air to take the vital currents, the ethereal currents, into the body. We imagine that energy rising up the spinal column as we mentally pronounce the mantra "Haaaammmmm", and all that energy is going up the spine into the brain. This brings the waters, from the bottom to the top, the lower waters to the upper waters, the waters of sex to the waters of the brain: "Haaaammmm". Then the fire that is in the water irradiates the brain, rejuvenates it, gives it life and energy, and then the Yogi says "Ssssssssssaaaaaaahhhh" with the exhalation. In total, this causes the fire in the waters to rise to the brain, illuminate the pineal gland, and open clairvoyance, to give us the power to see beyond the physical senses. It is very beautifully illustrated in this painting. 0:00 - Explanation of the Breathwork 4:48 - Guided Meditation Support Astral Doorway on Patreon & join my Discord group for live Q&As, guided meditations, dream interpretations, early-access episodes, news about my upcoming books, spiritual advice & more: https://www.patreon.com/astraldoorway

In this interview I am joined by lucid dreaming teacher and best-selling author Charlie Morley. Charlie recounts a trip to South Africa to see his Buddhist guru Lama Yeshe, and recalls a mystical experience he had there while on retreat with Dr Daniel P Brown. Charlie reveals his most effective lucid dreaming techniques, explains why meditation can be bad for trauma, details his work with veterans with PTSD, and demonstrates a powerful breath technique to regulate the nervous system.

In this episode I am once again joined by Alejandro Chaoul PhD to discuss his latest book ‘Tibetan Yoga: Magical Movements of Body, Breath, and Mind' published by Wisdom Publications. Alejandro tells the story of the creation of this book, describes its textual sources, and explains his decision not to include images of the sacred movements. Alejandro reveals the different uses of Tibetan Yoga movements, including physical healing, clearing obstacles, enhancing meditation, and spiritual advancement. Alejandro also discusses personality typologies, the flavour of Dzogchen awakening, the importance of the full lotus posture, and compares Buddhist tummo techniques to the inner heat methods of the ‘Iceman' Wim Hof. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep134-tibetan-yoga-alejandro-chaoul

The contemplative technique of tummo (gtum mo, caṇḍālī) – literally, the “fierce lady” – is a consummate practice of Vajrayāna Tibetan Buddhist yoga. To understand this somatic yoga and breathwork practice, this presentation discusses (a) tummo in the context of a Buddhist tantric practice curriculum; (b) the philosophy and practice of inducing yogic heat and rapturous bliss described in classical Tibetan yoga manuals, including a discussion of subtle body physiology, thermogenesis, and the correlation of tummo with sexual yoga; (c) popular depictions that introduced tummo to the modern Buddhist imagination, including drying wet sheet ceremonies in Tibet and contemporary spin-offs; and (d) scientific research on the neurophysiological effects of arousal induced by tummo on core body temperature, cerebral blood flow, and cognitive correlates. The presentation concludes with reflections on working with technologies of breath in yogic Buddhism. This presentation is part of the Buddhism and Breath Summit, which took place online in 2021, with a group of researchers exploring Buddhist practices of working with the breath or the “winds” of the body. The event was co-hosted by Frances Garrett and Pierce Salguero, and co-sponsored by the Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation Centre for Buddhist Studies at the University of Toronto and Jivaka.net.

Do you want to feel more alive? If so, this episode is for YOU....Spirituality can be uniquely defined by each individual, yet we can all agree that it is connection to some larger force, essence, or entity.Spirituality is a FEELING.Which is why it can be so challenging to express in words!Yet, it is non-negotiable to experience the essence of Spirit in our lives...if we want to live a more fully relished and inspired Life, that is.This begs the question: How can we access that super sweet feeling of aliveness more frequently?I gotchu. ...You can access a remarkably ecstatic, enthusiastic, effervescent vibration called Life Force (some call it Chi, Prana, Mana, Nyama, Chu'lel, Shekinah, Tummo) when you consciously choose to animate the life within each of your flesh-bound vessels. And it can begin in your next workout.In this episode, I detail five practices you can begin in this moment to elevate your next workout into a mechanical expression into a visit into a delightfully majestic movement universe. The How:Practice #1: Perform six cycles of box breathing before your workout. Bringing your attention to your breaths--where the air is flowing and going, and concentrating on harmonizing a particular strength + length of breath that helps bring you into an even tone of parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system states, will prime your body and brain for more focused performance and sensitized engagement with your surroundings.Bonus Tip: breathe in and out of your nostrils, which limits your breathing to the belly. Belly breathing stimulates the vagus nerve and activates your relaxation response.Practice #2: Match your inhales and exhales to the load and explode portions of your lifts, respectively. Called "biomechanical breath pairing," this technique guides you into the most ergonomically efficient and natural pattern of breathing while resistance training. You will inhale and fill up with oxygen on the loading phase of a movement (i.e. lowering body in a pushup, squat, deadlift and exhale on the exploding phase of your movement (i.e. pressing up to high plank and standing).Practice #3: Prior to your workout, return to your why. Invest a handful of breaths in connecting to your intention for the movement session on deck. Make it your own ("to feel powerful," "to generate love," "to embody my calm,"). As discussed in Episode 001 of the pod, your deep why is the deep cavern of fuel you can tap when you feel tired or amotivated. So your intention from workout to workout will spring from this clear desire/set of desires. Please return to this episode if you missed it, as it will be key for your fitness journey.Bonus Tip: To arrive at your unique intention, ask yourself: "what do I want to express?" and "how do I want to feel?" Practice #4: Ask your Spirit what it needs to feel more alive, then pull from your movement toolbox to nourish it. What movement would make you come more alive? What pace, shape, amount of resistance, amount of balance? You are involved a process of physical expression from your spiritual center! Another way of Open up your Spirit, y'all, and give it a voice. The more trained you are in various movement patterns and resistance training techniques/principles, the more intuitive this practice can become.Practice #5: Visualize and embody--so you may next cultivate, the peak feeling you'd like to experience. This is a no-holds-barred practice. You don't have to stop at happy and strong--why not ecstatic and fucking invincible? I challenge you to take whatever answer you first come up with and multiply it by 100, 1,000, then 1 million.

Elise in her own words:   “To me, Alexandra David-Néel's book My Journey to Lhasa was one of those books I just couldn't get over. You know when you read a book or see a film and you keep thinking about it for weeks afterwards, it was like that. Except that with this book, I never stopped thinking about it. The book recounts the final six months of Alexandra's epic 14 year journey through Asia, her quest to reach the forbidden city of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Against all odds, dressed as a poor pilgrim, she reached Lhasa in 1924.   12 years after reading this book for the first time, I was still wondering just how she managed to achieve what she did. 14 years of dealing with the cold, the wet, illness and of course the constant pressure and difficulty that came with being a female traveller in the early 1900s.   So, I decided to act on that idea that had always been in the back of my mind - to recreate Alexandra's journey in some way, and to experience life travelling as a woman as closely as she would have done. I realised that the only way to truly do this, and to truly do her journey justice would be to do exactly as she did, taking with me only what she had. This meant NO modern day mountain equipment. So with my yak wool coat, a wooden backpack I made out of an old chair and an all-female team in tow, I set off in search of a special cave, the worlds third highest mountain and answers to questions I'd had for the last 13 years.    After returning from this life-changing first expedition, I realised that the stories and achievements of histories female explorers like Alexandra should be celebrated and never forgotten. I've made it my mission to bring these stories back to life, to inspire this generation and the next the same way they have inspired me. In July 2019 I set off on my second adventure to the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland, to follow in the footsteps of Nan Shepherd, one of the UK's best known nature writers and mountain wanderers.”   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Hit the subscribe button so you don't miss out.    The Tough Girl Podcast is sponsorship and ad free thanks to the monthly financial support of patrons.    Support the mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media.

About the author James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside Magazine, BBC, The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, Surfer's Journal, The San Francisco Chronicle, and more. He's spent the last several years working on a book called Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. It released through Riverhead/Penguin Random House on May 26, 2020 and spent 18 weeks of the New York Times bestseller list in the first year of publication. At home in San Francisco, James runs his 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300D on used cooking oil whenever he can and used to zip around town (correction: breakdown all over town) in a Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar, the first-ever American-made production electric vehicle, which barely ever worked and was later offloaded on some dude with purple suspenders in Eugene, Oregon. Source: https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/about   About the book There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren't found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again. Source: https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/#/breath-book/ Big idea #1 —Our changing faces There are over 5,400 known species of mammals, but humans are the only ones with regular misaligned jaws, under and overbites, and snuggled teeth. Evolution isn't always better, it's just change. And we are at a point now, and have been for several thousands of years, where we're passing down these unhealthy and unhelpful deformities to future generations. This change started before homo-sapiens were even sapiens. There's a full timeline in the book, but over the last hundred of thousands of years, our species changed, we ate different food, which made our brains grow much, much bigger, which in turn meant that they needed more space in our skulls. Our brains stole this space from our sinuses, our airways and our mouths, which then shrunk our faces. You can see this in comparing the skulls of modern homo-sapiens to prehistoric sapiens. By processing and cooking food, even in a very primitive way, we started chewing less, which resulted in our jaws were getting looser, weaker, and changed the shape of our face. Learning to speak dropped our larynx and pushed our tongues back, creating too much space at the back of our throat, meaning that we are the only mammals, and the only sapiens that can choke. We even do that in our sleep; through snoring and sleep apnea. As we evolved, those in colder climates developed long, thin noses, which were able to warm up the cold air before it reached out lungs. Those in warm and humid climates had flatter noses, which is much more efficient for processing that humid air ready to hit the lungs. But look at us now. We are not breathing well, we're snoring, we stop breathing altogether as we sleep with sleep apnea, and never mind our teeth. These things are all unique deformities of the human race, rather than something that is prevalent in mammals more generally. So our big old brains haven't been that good for us. Big idea#2 — We're breathing wrong First things first; mouth breathing is very bad.Mouth breathing, it turns out, changes the physical body and transforms airways all for the worse. Inhaling air through the mouth decreases pressure, which causes the soft tissues in the back of the mouth to become loose and flex inward, creating less space and making breathing more difficult. Therefore mouth breathing begets more mouth breathing. Our small mouths cause our teeth overcrowding, and many other issues. Sleeping with an open mouth makes it even worse, because gravity blocks the airways and therefore that's when we get snoring and sleep apnea. In the book, James talks about his experiment (which sounds absolutely horrific) where he had his nose blocked up with padding for 10 days, to test exactly what happens when you can only breathe through your mouth. By the end of the experiment, his snoring was 4,800% worse than it was at the beginning of of the experiment, and he was having 25 apnea episodes a night. Some were so bad that he actually dropped below 90% oxygen, which on an ongoing basis can cause all sorts of issues. Some studies show that sleep apnea and snoring (ie poor breathing / mouth breathing at night) lead to things like bed-wetting, ADHD, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancers. The Mayo Clinic now says that chronic insomnia is actually a breathing problem, not a psychological one. One Japanese study, showed that mouth breathing reduces oxygen to the prefrontal cortex, which is associated with ADHD. Another bad breathing habit we have is holding our breath, particularly when we're maybe sat at our desks at work and having a bit of a stressful day. There was some really interesting research and studies that have been done of indigenous groups of people who are living in a less modernised way, and some of their practices around breathing. Even though these groups of people are in completely different continents, they all had really similar techniques and ways of breathing, which were much more unfettered by some of the modern ways of living that we have. And their dental structures, facial shapes, and respiratory health are much better for it. James talked about one particular Native American group of people who wouldn't even smile with their mouth open in case some dirty unfiltered air crept into their mouth. They felt so strongly that nose breathing is the clean way to breathe, and mouth breathing was quite a dirty way to breathe because you're not filtering the air.   Big idea #3 — How to breathe better You may have already gathered the breathing better way is through your nose as a starting point.  (Note: all of the following techniques and ideas are covered more thoroughly in the book and here on James' website, this is obviously a very high level overview and NOT medical instruction, so don't do anything silly) At night one option to train yourself to breathe through your nose is to put a little piece of medical tape over your lips, which starts to tease them closed at night. The other thing we can be doing is increasing our lung capacity, there is some quite interesting research into the link between lung capacity and longevity / health. We can increase our lung capacity by taking really long out breaths, and accessing the full lung capacity, rather than just the little, short, shallow breaths. This technique is a used lot by athletes, particularly around better using the exhale. We've also become over breathers. In today's modern age is between 12 and 20 breaths per minute, taking in about half a liter each time, which is almost twice as much as it used to be at the high end of that range. So we can practice slower breathing. Aiming for around 5.5 breaths per minute, practicing fewer inhales and exhales at a smaller volume. Another way of improving our breathing is by chewing more. Now you don't need to go and start eating bark and sticks like some of our prehistoric ancestors did, but even using gum (particularly chewy gum, rather than the soft squishy ones) will help. It can strengthen our facial bones and jaws and help open up the airways. There's also various yoga breathing techniques, for example, alternate nasal breathing, and box breathing, which you may be familiar with from yoga or meditation practice. There's also some quite advanced methods as well, which come with a whole plethora of different warnings and caveats, such as the Wim Hof method, some of which you can not practice if you have heart conditions, are driving, operating heavy machinery, or are anywhere near some water! James's website contains a whole little video section with some of these techniques that you can practice at home and build your breathing repertoire.   Let's connect LinkedIn Instagram See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tummo is the fierce goddess of heat and passion in Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Tummo is found in the Mahasiddha Krishnacarya and the Hevajra Tantra texts. As a breathing exercise, tummo is a part of tantric meditation cycles for yogic heat. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/enlightenverse/message

Welcome to that new series, when we talk about mahasiddhas we most of the time think that we'll tomorrow I will do the six yoga of Naropa for example. The truth is to get to the mastery of siddhas we need to put way more in practice, at the moment there is what I can call the Tummo thirst what bring very weird things. I saw from my eyes people without training without empowerment trying to do so. Back in day Garchen Rinpoche himself train me for tummo when I was his assistant but more than that I have receive training, teaching that I carry on receive and it take time to master. Yes back in the mahasiddhas well to be a siddhas good news you don't need to run to the Himalaya to be a siddhas, because if you took all the indian and Tibetan history of both Hindu, Jains, Buddhist, Sikh of the siddhas. Well there is as much different siddhas that the sand in the Ganges river. Now when we focus on Buddhist well just at the origin 84 proper example to follow that include in the Kagyu Lineage Tilopa and Naropa. When we cross border in Nepal and Tibet we going into a very wild range of Siddhas. Milarepa or Marpa yes both siddhas different style I can say. What make a siddhas or not To not be siddhas You can't practice everywhere You got a shrine not flexible fighting with what is That just few examples but yes if you go this way that still a good way because you practice. To be a siddha Renunciation to samsara understand the deep illusion work with energy into our body Work with what we have practice everywhere Today in podcast we will declutter what is a siddha --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/enlightenverse/message
