the practice being studied here, where tibetan monks raise their body temperature, is called tumo. here you can see it illustrated in a mural that is in a temple behind the dalai lamas palace. i was told the man is visualizing a letter A moving through his central energy channel:

being near the top every time in terms of child head circumference (flex), i have often wondered what method would be deployed to correct this. why is this taking place. surely it is not just for my own ego: although i would, if provided, display accolade ribbons celebrating this
i occasionally bring my kid to the pediatrician. they measure their head there, with a small ribbon tape measurer. theres data: they tell you what percentile your childβs head clocks in at in terms of size. βwow, 95+%β. βthank youβ. like i am bringing a pumpkin to the county fair
in its place, he puts a tiny imperceptible mark. later, the master returns, and the guy says "hey, the pin fell, where should we put it?". the master looks at the wall and walks up to it. puts his finger down and says, "right here". the worker checks: it was the exact same spot.
he goes right to a seemingly random point, puts his finger down, and says: here. the worker puts in a pin. the master leaves. the worker thinks, you know, this guy makes a huge show of being so intuitive, he's probably just picking random spots. he removes the pin from the wall.
one of my favorite art stories is about a japanese master craftsman. he often pegs points intuitively, without measuring. one day, they're installing something onto a massive blank wall. a worker asks, where should i put the first piece in? the master walks over to the wall ...
