Kum Nye Practice

Kum Nye is physically based  practice which can promoting confidence, power, and endurance through stimulation and transformation of the body and our mental processes.

To many people it is like a form of meditation, yet Kum Nye is a physical form of movement which is also very useful for releasing deep physical and emotional tensions held within the body. Many exercises can help to produce physical tremors which may be held deeply within the body, leading to a sense of release and relaxation.

Kum Nye is based on  ancient spiritual knowledge, Kum Nye Relaxation offers a very effective way for refreshing and revitalizing the body and mind. It is beneficial for young and old alike with gentle easy-to-follow movement exercises which can relieve tension, heighten energy levels, improve concentration, and help to bring clarity of the senses.

Kum Nye introduces the view of body and mind as a naturally integrated whole, offering a more balanced, satisfying approach to experience based on appreciation and self-understanding. Basic breathing, massage, and movement exercises can lead to the more advanced exercises.

Applying these techniques can in daily exercise can promote a lighter, more cheerful approach to living and working in the modern world.

Movements are generally very slow and very gentle, suited to all ages and physical abilities.

Practice

Often the movements which are slow and gentle induce tremors within the body which can release inner tensions. This Kum Nye practice is one example you might like to try.

Sit quietly for a while to rest your mind and body, perhaps for at least 5 minutes or longer.

Then gently stand up straight with your feet hip width apart, stay standing for a few seconds, then unlock your knees, almost but not quite bending your knees, allow your arms to rest at your sides, very slowly allow your arms to rise outwards from your sides keeping them fairly straight but not locked, this should take a few minutes, then very slowly allow your arms to rise up above your head (not reaching but rising) and then slowly down again.

Repeat this exercise a few times, return to sitting and meditate or relax until you feel able to continue regular activity. This single exercise can last about 15 minutes.
