Meditate and Learn to control temperature with your mind.
I have found three separate examples of what appears to be the dynamic mental control of body temperature.
These guys will survive the next ice age. Will you?
Full Harvard Article: Meditation Changes Temperatures, Mind Controls Body in Extreme Experiments
By William J. Cromie
Excerpts:
“In a monastery in northern India, thinly clad Tibetan monks sat quietly in a room where the temperature was a chilly 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a yoga technique known as g Tum-mo, they entered a state of deep meditation. Other monks soaked 3-by-6-foot sheets in cold water (49 degrees) and placed them over the meditators’ shoulders. For untrained people, such frigid wrappings would produce uncontrolled shivering.
If body temperatures continue to drop under these conditions, death can result. But it was not long before steam began rising from the sheets. As a result of body heat produced by the monks during meditation, the sheets dried in about an hour.
Attendants removed the sheets, then covered the meditators with a second chilled, wet wrapping. Each monk was required to dry three sheets over a period of several hours.”

“During visits to remote monasteries in the 1980s, Benson and his team studied monks living in the Himalayan Mountains who could, by g Tum-mo meditation, raise the temperatures of their fingers and toes by as much as 17 degrees. It has yet to be determined how the monks are able to generate such heat.
They also documented monks spending a winter night on a rocky ledge 15,000 feet high in the Himalayas. The sleep-out took place in February on the night of the winter full moon when temperatures reached zero degrees F. Wearing only woolen or cotton shawls, the monks promptly fell asleep on the rocky ledge, They did not huddle together and the video shows no evidence of shivering. They slept until dawn then walked back to their monastery.”

“The researchers also made measurements on practitioners of other forms of advanced meditation in Sikkim, India. They were astonished to find that these monks could lower their metabolism by 64 percent.”
“To put that decrease in perspective, metabolism, or oxygen consumption, drops only 10-15 percent in sleep and about 17 percent during simple meditation.”

Ripley’s Believe It or Not
Tests Qigong Master’s ability to channel heat into hand. 200+ degrees.
Skeptics argue that this man deceives people by using a chemical reaction to generate the heat. This is a possibility. But given that the other two examples are true, this seemingly supernatural ability certainly could be real. If it was a chemical reaction though, would the center of his hand appear white hot to the camera as well? If he does this kind of thing every day, wouldn’t his hands suffer serious burns? He certainly seems to have a lot of happy customers. In which case, if he is just some kind of trickster, this would be quite a testament to the power of placebo.
I spent some time practicing Qigong, which the video claims to be his means to this ability. So, personally, I know that suprisingly subtle energies are experienced through calm practice, and a sense of effortless control can be achieved, a kind of control that is non-ordinary; a state of control that, as far as i can tell, is not an every-day experience for anyone that I know. So, because of personal experience, it is intuitively possible to me that one can control the energy of heat through this art. But I would like to see him tested in a solid scientific setting. Too bad scientists can’t get funding to go miracle hunting.
