    Tumo breathing, also known as the Tibetan yoga of inner fire, is a type of dynamic meditation that uses controlled breathing techniques along with visualizations to generate body heat. Practitioners are said to be able to raise the temperatures of their fingers and toes while sitting in freezing water. The technique originated in Tibet and India and evidence suggests it was also practiced in Japan in the 1500s-1600s. Modern research has studied individuals like Wim Hof who use tumo-like breathing techniques to withstand cold temperatures.

    http://www.perfectbreathing.com/stay-warm-winter-qi-gongs-tumo Firsthand account http://voices.yahoo.com/tumo-breathing-technique-warms-body-cleanses-8530461.html Summary http://www.lifepositive.com/Spirit/world-religions/buddhism/tumo.

    asp Tibetan Buddhist Dynamic Visualizations (theologically-charged) / remember that Buddhism closer to India/Tibet will have a Hindu overtone, as Siddhartha (i.e. Buddha) was a Hindu. The religion itself, in its more original forms, found in India/Tibet/Nepal actually make sense with the narrative stories of Siddhartha. When it goes into China, Vietnam, Japan, etc. the buddhisms plural there have synchronized to their regions and worldviews. Even the Zen practice of the Shaolin monks does not reflect the Zen of Japan's monks and the samurai. However, there is evidence that this style of breathing practice spanded more that just Tibet/India (probably came over from India), but died out other places. I'll put examples below from Japan in the 1500-1600's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumo Good wikipedia article http://books.google.com/books?id=q4UbYjoz0EC&pg=PT79&lpg=PT79&dq=tumo+breathing&source=bl&ots=pm79e2aY7O&sig=_KfvweIwfFnI7 BxtDZNWo3bUv_k&hl=en&sa=X&ei=waT6UbToBpPG9gSk7YC4Ag&ved=0CEwQ6AEwBzgU#v= onepage&q=tumo%20breathing&f=false Very good concise book exerpt
