Tantric Master Creates Giant Slushie

NEW YORK (AP) — A man who calls himself a tantric master broke his own world record by standing engulfed in ice for 72 minutes.

Wim Hof, 48, stood on a Manhattan street in a clear container filled with ice for an hour and 12 minutes Saturday.

Hof said he survives by controlling his body temperature through tantric meditation. Tantra is an Eastern tradition of ritual and meditation said to bring followers closer to their chosen deities.

Hof set the world record for full body ice contact endurance in 2004, when he immersed himself in ice for an hour and eight minutes.

Hof’s feat kicked off BRAINWAVE, a five-month series of events in New York exploring how art, music, and meditation affect the brain.

    I have been a practising tantrika and relationship coach in New York for many years. I am dismayed to see someone who identifies himself as a tantra master promoting this kind of media event in a way that will only confuse people on what Tantra is about.

    Tantra is an ancient art of living and love centered on sensuality and honoring the body. While this man obviously displays great control over his body, this is really more of a yogic tradition of mind over body, not a tantric tradition of following the joy of the body into enlightenment.
