I don't think there is much point in getting above temperatures like
this.

Of course you can reach this state easily. You're an experienced
meditator, and long ago learned everything temperature training might
have to teach you. Think of temp. training as "training wheels" for
beginners who have no experience of self-regulation. These folk, and
they are the majority of humanity, have virtually no self-regulatory
skill, and the temp training is an excellent way to get them started
on the path.

The people I have trained on temperature had little or no prior
experience with the Relaxation Response. Thermal training helped
them get there faster than they otherwise would have. They enjoy the
experience and begin using the relaxation skill in their daily lives,
and soon they have outgrown their need for the thermometer because
they have learned how to get there by themselves.
