Excessive body heat during meditation.
Post Body

I have been meditating for extended periods (1-2 hours at a time) for many years and there was always a noticable increase in body heat. But this year I began practicing abstinence (bramhachari) and now the heat that I experience is almost unbearable. Even when not in meditation, many people have mentioned feeling the heat radiate off of me enough to make them feel warm. I have read that this could be Kundalini Shakti, but the heat isn't localized to just the spinal area or muladhara. No matter if I am in a cooled room or wearing minimal clothing, I begin to heat up as soon as I sit in position. This isn't problematic per se, but I really enjoy more extended sessions and the excessive heat produced tends to make me cut them shorter than I'd like. Has anyone else experienced this? What do I do with all that heat? Can I use it in some way that doesn't leave me soaked with sweat?
