I was wondering what yoga styles would help me withstand cold, heat, pain, etc. I've read about hatha I think that would be a good yoga style for it? And also I have read you have to meditate on the chakras to do such, what style and how would I go about doing this?

I got intrested a long time when I saw Wim Hof break a record swimming in the cold, by chance would anyone know what yoga style he uses?

At the point where you can do that sort of stuff with chakras and whatnot, I don't think it really matters wha "style" you use. I'd wager it's just a matter of practice, and developing it.

A brief quotation from Swami Rama's book Living with the Himalyayan Masters:


Quote:
siddhis are but mere signs on the path. These powers have nothing to do with spirituality...these psychic powers have little value. To the contrary, they can create serious obstacles on the path..These are all distractions. Do not allow them to obstruct your path... Anyone who wants to develp siddhis can do so and can demonstrate certain supernatural feats; but enlightenment is an entirely different matter.
Namaste,
Chandra
