My comment here isnt directly related to op but another body control skill besides temp that I can do that I never hear about that I learned when I was bored in class too was to control my hair standing up.

I can also control my hunger/thirst with visualization.

I can control my minds action-reward loop.

I'm kind of just cracked on mind/body control in general lol

I dont have the link anymore but I read something about how our bodies have vagal neurons that allow us to sense inflammation and modulate immune activity as a result so I think we can even manually control immune response.

I genuinely think we waste our conscious time on all the wrong things and that we have the power within ourselves to do things we couldn't dream of simply because we're so preoccupied with what our social minds dictate.

I say that as a rationalist and hard core scientifically minded observer.
