This specific practice of Tumo is a foundational practice with a slight modification for woman. Unlike kundalini where the energy is pushed up, Tumo is a natural exercise for woman meaning “fierce woman” in tibetan and is an upward drawing process which addresses our natural movement as woman,raising the flames of transformation is part of this process.
The inner fire has profound benefits. It consumes the lower aspects of ourselves such as attachments and moves the energy upward and helps to purify the channels. It enables us to generate more essence, balancing our hormones, warming our blood, spreading energy throughout the body. This energy rises and melts, creating bliss. When we experience this bliss, we immediately go beyond thought, beyond duality, and realize emptiness. With this practice, not only does one highly refine their subtle body (and therefore physical health),  it is and can be a path to transformation and enlightenment itself.
