Kum Nye Relaxation Part 1: Theory, Preparation, Massage

Nyingma Psychology Series #4

by Tulku Tarthang

Kum Nye Relaxation introduces new methods of revitalizing our lives, effective for both young and old. Part 1 includes theory, massage, and introductory movement exercises. Part 2 contains more advanced movement exercises. Kum Nye, which has the rich flavor of Eastern medical and spiritual techniques, gives us many ways of getting in touch with our senses. Modern living often obscures the natural health and vigor of our inner resources; Kum Nye helps us to cleanse and energize both our physical and psychological systems. Body, mind, and senses are renewed, and become fully merged and balanced. We learn to live in a lighter, more cheerful way.

Tarthang Tulku was educated in Tibet, and worked for ten years in India before coming to the United States where he has taught for the past ten years. The unique system of relaxation presented here has grown out of his experiences in teaching and exchanging ideas with Westerners of many lifestyles. This warm exchange has created a great demand for this book. Tarthang Tulku's other books include Time, Space, and Knowledge, Gesture of Balance, Openness Mind, and Skillful Means.

A great resource to learn how to start caring for your body.
The writing is clear and simple.
The writing helps detach from previous restricting thought patterns.
To spend time stretching, massaging, and listening to your body daily, without distraction, is worth it.
I am grateful for the book.
Thank you!
