power, and endurance through stimulation and
transformation of the body and our mental processes.

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.

very effective way for refreshing and revitalizing
the body and mind. It is beneficial for young and old

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.
