If you're interested in tantric buddhism, I would suggest reading anything and everything by Lama Yeshe.
Here's an intro to the subject he gave. It's pretty good if memory serves.
His book gives detailed instructions for the practices that form the core of tantric meditation within Vajrayana.
Milarepa and other buddhists make use of tummo.
Glad I could help. And yeah, it's good to experiment and see what kind of cool things you can get your mind and body to do, but at the same time I think it's better to do these practices within some framework. I mean, the techniques that the Hindus or the Tibetans use have been developed over centuries, so there are sure to have been people who have run into similar problems and discovered how to fix them and how to avoid them. If you're interested in energetic practices in particular (working with chakras, "chi", etc.), I think the best book I've found from a Buddhist standpoint is this one: The Bliss of Inner Fire. I believe it is one of the few books that actually gives teachings on Tummo meditation practice in English. (Note: Check your local library, or look around online, I was able to find a PDF of this book and it's available at my university's library.)
I'd start off with Vipassana meditation (Great resource for this: http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma4/mpe.html) For me, it's the easiest and simplest way to go about it. I know that some people prefer the tantric way where they open their chakras and try to feel their energy, but I can't really get into that. It depends on personal preference of course but if you want to learn a bit more about the tantric way, there's a great book on Tibetan Buddhism called "The Bliss of inner fire."

Here's a bit more info about chakras if you do decide to go down that route:

It's completely a personal choice, but as I mentioned earlier, I prefer Vipassana meditation.
Hope that helps.
