Temperature Control

For some reason, when I am in the Buddha state, I don't sweat. I don't even smell. In fact, ever since I started practicing Nichiren Buddhism, I've stopped wearing deodorant. Does this [not] happen to any of you guys? Why is it that meditation gives the body such seemingly huge advantages?

    Yes it happens. The reason is sweating and odour is a fear response. Relaxed being means one is not in a fear state. It goes further but is of little importance. The metabolism, mind/body complex as a side effect can be changed by practice . . .

    If you want to sweat, take up running or exercise, to smell eat garlic and spices, yum.

  • Have any of you heard of Wim Hof? - the ice man! He can control his immune system and body temperature.

    That's pretty cool, but the only Iceman I know of is the serial killer Richard Kuklinski AKA The Iceman
