Monks have the uncanny ability to raise their body temperature through meditation. For years, Dr. Herbert Benson of Harvard medical has been conducting numerous tests on the effects of meditation on the body’s metabolism. The data revealed that monks were able to lower their oxygen intake and lower their metabolism by up to 64% through meditation. They were also able to increase their skin temperature in environments of 40-50 degrees farenheit. A test was done where they would wrap their body with a wet towel in a 40 degree environment. The average person would surely get hypothermia however but for these monks, the towels were steamed until they were completely dry from their body heat. Check out the video below.
