question about meditation heat
Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2013 4:09 pm
Sometimes when i focus on my breathing during samatha i feel a ball of heat inside me (somewhere under my navel). Heat becomes more intense during inhalation and colder during exhalation.also my palms are not only getting warm, but very hot. It is allmost feels as if i was holding hot iron ball on my lap. Once i felt a narrow stream of heat rising from the naval area to my chest where the heat gently expanded. One time i felt ball of heat inside my throat.
All this does not happen every time. It happens pretty seldom infact.
I know that tummo meditation has to do with heat production and internal wind manipulation, but i don`t know how tummo technique is actually executed. (PLUS i know that tummo is completion level practice, not for beginners like me).I amnot trying to create heat, it happens or does not happen (usually it doesn't happen).
But here`s couple of questions: Is this spontaneus meditation induced heat "legit" tummo heat or something else? Are internal winds being manipulated in this case somehow? Is there any value in this spontaneus heat experience?
thanks
