The Kum Nye exercises bring us in contact with the pure energies of body and mind. Each sensation and emotion has its specific feeling tone. By increasing our awareness of subtle feelings, we learn to move with energy. When we contact the neutral, wholesome energy that pervades all forms it is like coming home.During Kum Nye practice, our energy constantly refreshes itself. Time and age can not catch or freeze this energy, for it is always actively moving, cultivating itself, never delayed or at a standstill. This energetic process is called 'longevity', and its potential lies within the senses.
The Kum Nye breathing exercises balance the energy rhythms of the breath. The postures condense or expand the flow of energy in the body; the movements promote the flow of feeling in the body; the massage releases the stress blockages in the body and mantra unlocks hidden tensions in the subtle body energy system and chakras.
Healing with Kum Nye
From where we stand now, we may be able to reflect on what experiences have shaped our lives. Yet we have no idea how years of restriction have affected our body, our senses, nerves, organs, and circulatory systems - perhaps even the ways our mind operates.We may have neglected our body for a long time. Out of a sense of ownership, we have taken it for granted and abused it with frustration and worries. It may still suffer from unresolved traumas from the past. Perhaps it bears the scars of agitation and anger, strong thoughts and a propensity to rash actions. Its energy is blocked by knots of tension that close off the flow of feeling.
When we touch these scars and knots with a gentle and accepting attitude, the feelings that are locked inside will emerge, and the energy that was blocked is restored. Offering the tools we need to relax and open sensory fields, Kum Nye Yoga encourages us to face our sensitivities and embrace painful feelings without fear. Through these exercises joy emerges, washing out the residues of regret and transforming anger and resentment into positive expressions.
As we learn the language of our bodies and senses, we gain control over feelings, thoughts and our style of expression. Our adult consciousness allows us the fresh experience of childhood. It is possible to smooth out the confusion and chaotic associations that seem to be the inevitable outcome of our formative years. We can find our foundation, improve connections between senses, body and mind, and create a new life for ourselves, based on a better understanding of our own embodiment. In a way we have never before experienced, we can truly BE.
Integration
Kum Nye Yoga is a gentle healing system that relieves stress, transforms negative patterns, and helps us to be balanced and healthy.
Healing both our body and mind, Kum Nye brings together their energies to function in harmony. Our enjoyment and appreciation of life grow significantly.The unique value of Kum Nye is that it integrates and balances two approaches, the physical and psychological. Our entire being is balanced, integrated and energize, opening channels of communication between senses, body, and mind. A sense of wholeness and calm settles. The integration of body and mind is felt in all our activities: when we feel relaxed and healthy, we are better able to help others. Our inner environment becomes happier, our interactions more friendly, and our appreciation for our environment leads to total acceptance of the way things are.
Developing Balance
Kum Nye Yoga is the art of developing balance. We discover a new way of being, an open perspective that delights in the integration of body, mind, senses, feelings and environment. We will feel an ongoing refreshing of senses and mind, our body energy quickens. This is what it means to be balanced.
Integrate Kum Nye into your daily routine, during short breaks from work, and while getting up in the morning or going to bed at night. Then, when you meet with challenges, you will have the knowledge to cope more effectively.
It is possible to find a more flexible way of being. If we develop our sensory capacities, our daily activities will appear in a more aesthetic light. If we give joy to the mind, ways to transform our attitudes and apply new knowledge and techniques will make our daily life and work easier. Anything we do can become a Kum Nye exercise, stimulating imagination and creativity.
