TUMMO

 Yes. If you are able to visualise something then you can learn Tummo. Although Tummo is very very powerful the actual technique is surprisingly simple. But there are very specific instructions, that you have to follow exactly. It is more like a science than a fluffly guided meditation. I have designed the whole course in such a way that you will learn this step by step. Also, I have created unique computer animations to explain the crucial part of the meditation. This will ensure that you will “get it” and will learn how to do this confidently.

 In principle: yes. If Tummo resonates with you then you are welcome to join. But this is a very advanced meditation technique. If you have never meditated before this might be too much for you. See also the next question.

Although it is not strictly necessary it will be beneficial if you have some experience with meditation. But you don’t have to be a meditation master in order to join! If you are able to keep your concentration, do some simple visualisations and know what chakras are then you can learn Tummo. 

Tummo is a very advanced meditation technique. In Tibet this is known as “completion stage meditation”. This is the final instruction that Lamas get, the completion of the whole Buddhist training.

Short answer: no. There is some confusion that Wim Hof does Tummo. I love what Wim does (I practice cold immersion myself) but it is not Tummo, not even a simplified version as some people say.

No. Traditional Kundalini practices aim to raise the kundalini energy from the base of your spine up to the crown. In Tummo we don’t do this. But the energy of bliss that gets activated is the same in nature as kundalini. However Tummo works in a very different way.

Yes. You are very much in control of the energy that you awaken. You can stop this at an y time during the practise should you not feel comfortable at any point. (That has never happened to me though). Tummo is about mastering your energy. Not waking up some raging force and being overtaken by it as can happen with traditional Kundalini practise. With normal Kundalini there is a danger that if it shoots up from the base to the crown it can damage your nervous system. With Tummo that does not happen. Tummo is safe.

 No not at all.  Although you will experience Bliss that is similar in nature as an orgasm during sex, this is achieved purely by concentration alone without any sexual activity whatsoever. In fact normal sexual activity is seen as completely pointless form Buddhist Tantra point of view.

Yes absolutely. You may find that sexual activity gets more enjoyable when open up your energy channels with the Tummo practise.

This is hard to say… It will vary from person to person depending on how much “baggage” you have, how clean and open your energy system is at the start of the course.

Physical healing can already happen in the first week when you do the preparation exercises (though I cannot guarantee this of course).

A big milestone is to experience the Bliss during the meditation. Once you have this experience it will give you the motivation to keep going. Some people will have this during the course. For others it takes a bit longer, maybe a few weeks.

Then as you build a practise you will start to feel the benefits and a shift in your consciousness after a few months.

The video lessons take between one and two hours in a week (it will vary from week to week).

Every week there is a live zoom call. This will be about one hour

The meditation practice will start in week 3 . During the preparation phase I advice to practice for half an hour every day if possible. But if you cant do every day that is OK.

During the Tummo practice the sessions will be longer. Probably one hour although you might find you want to do longer! 😊 It is enough to do this every other day, although every day will give better results.

 There will be a weekly live zoom call during the course , to discuss the material of that week and where I will answer any questions that you have.  Of course if there is an urgent issue you can write to me during the week and I will get in contact with you as soon as I can. But this has never happened so far.

Within reason yes 😉.  Of course I am here to support you and I always love to get feedback and hear people’s experiences.
