Event Details

Kum Nye is an ancient body meditation practice that is grounded in a system of healing transmitted for nearly 1200 years within the Buddhist culture of Tibet.

‘Kum’ means body or embodiment, ‘Nye’ means massage or interaction. In Kum Nye we engage in a process by which subtle feeling tones are released so that they flow freely throughout the body, integrating the mental and the physical. We can release tensions or blockages, harmonising different aspects of our being.

Tibetan medicine, like Indian Ayurveda, is based on the concept that health depends on a delicate balance of vital life forces. Negative thoughts, harmful actions, improper behaviours and inappropriate diet cause humoral imbalances and energy blockages, resulting in physical diseases and mental and emotional blockages.

Not only is it a healing practice, but continued practice can lead to insight into the connection between our inner and outer world and lead to freedom and happiness in one’s daily life. Our habitual ways of seeing the world drop away, and we become more alive to ourselves and to one another.

These practices provide a powerful means of self-transformation, and can be utilised as part of other therapeutic or spiritual practices. It is a core practice at the EWS.

During this day, you will be introduced to some of the different Kum Nye movement practices, and the Buddhist insights behind it.
