Actually, it is! You can generate heat by physical activity or intense thinking, and you can lower it by sleeping but also through calming yourself and breath control. There’ve been studies about monks who have learned to do this, but anyone can do it through enough practice (or you could just work out or sleep, those are the easy ways).
The mind can control the body to a disturbing degree with practice, to the point where you have to give cred to cooks who claim all sorts of outlandish shit- of course the people who make the big claims are rarely the same who are capable of performing them but there is for sure something more to be said of the power our consciousnesses than we normally accept.
It only stands to reason (pun accidental) that something as powerful as our conscious minds would hide secrets a more materialistic interpretation of biology does not account for.
For the longest time we thought experiences couldn’t influence our genes, but with advances in genetics that turned out to be false- and at least to me it makes sense, something as intricate and complex as conscience surely has more purpose to our organism than “nice to be able to enjoy life”.
