But anyways, his whole practice was in some part inspired by these monks in the Himalayans that would wrap themselves in these 40 degree sheets.

And they would leverage a certain type of breath known as Tummo. to essentially create inner fire, inner heat. And, you know, after 30, 40 minutes, you would start to see, you know, these steam coming up from these freezing cold sheets that they had dunked into a cold river. And then, of course, what did they do? They took that sheet off and they would wrap them in another cold sheet.

And so, like you say... you know, how can we explain with the knowledge that we have at our disposal right now how that is possible, right? How do we engage in that degree of thermogenesis Um, like I can poke at it. Yeah, we've got, you know, the mitochondria in our certain, particularly in this tissue known as brown fat that is like highly thermogenic. Um, and yes, that can access.
