You see it get brighter and intend for it to get hotter with each exhale, synchronizing the breathing with visualization. When it gets hot as an actual sensation, then you have gotten the first sign of accomplishment. There is a "hollow body" exercise in visualization that is helpful to do before this. This is mentioned in two texts that I have in my library, and is in the Wentz version mentioned above. The hollow body exercise is to see the body as a hologram of quantum particles made up of mostly empty space (which is the quantum physical way of seeing the body). You visualize it as it actually is according to the Buddhist teachings of emptiness and quantum physics. This allows the energy to move more freely in the body and opens up another level of subtle work later on. Once you have gotten the red dot to get hot, though, it is probably good to get some training. Breathing itself takes a lot of mastery and this is what most people bring into the Tumo Yoga. With a teacher, he or she can design lessons related to what you need to know, skipping over some lessons that may not be relevant to you.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340539277090876795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467466552105314472.post-29689848863368697352014-01-20T09:49:02.078-08:002014-01-20T09:49:02.078-08:00The Tumo Yoga Practice is a considered "Inter...The Tumo Yoga Practice is a considered "Intermediate" level and generally there is a recommendation to have the guidance of a skilled teacher. The practice can unlock some emotional trauma in the body and cause it to surface. One needs to be prepared for this and have a support system in place. The breathing, too, is very powerful, and, in particular, the breathing depth, smoothness, and rhythm are important to be stable, or otherwise some chaos in the body pranas may adversely affect our health.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340539277090876795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467466552105314472.post-88226504063192717732014-01-20T09:41:46.688-08:002014-01-20T09:41:46.688-08:00There are several books that describe the process....There are several books that describe the process. THE BLISS OF INNER FIRE is one of them:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/The-Bliss-Inner-Fire-Practice/dp/086171136X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390239452&sr=8-1&keywords=the+bliss+of+inner+fire+heart+practice+of+the+six+yogas+of+naropa<br /><br />TIBETAN YOGA AND SECRET DOCTRINES by Wentz is also a very good one. It reads more like notes and is sometimes hard to read, but it has information I have not found elsewhere:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Tibetan-Yoga-Secret-Doctrines-Dawa-Samdups/dp/0195002784/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390239638&sr=8-2&keywords=tibetan+yoga+and+secret+doctrinesWillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340539277090876795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467466552105314472.post-22526329371960291902014-01-20T09:32:24.793-08:002014-01-20T09:32:24.793-08:00Where can I find the whole exercise???Where can I find the whole exercise???Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620141824776809014noreply@blogger.com
