More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Kum Nye promotes emotional and physical well-being through three strands of discipline: sitting exercises and breathing techniques help us to appreciate feelings of which we are normally unaware, thereby connecting us with the vitality of our energy centres or chakras; self-massage techniques and movement exercises stimulate subtle energies believed to permeate the whole being, integrating our mental and physical selves and promoting greater self-understanding; and, stretching exercises induce a deep sense of relaxation on three levels - the physical, the mental and emotional, and the energetic or spiritual. "Tibetan Relaxation" draws on all three strands to present more than 70 of the Tibetan relaxation exercises - progressing from basic breathing, self-massage and movement techniques in the first half of the book, to a selection of more advanced methods in the second half. Suitable for all ages, these gentle exercises serve to relieve tension, heighten energy levels, improve concentration and enhance sensory awareness. Combining more than 200 specially commissioned photographs with step-by-step instructions, "Tibetan Relaxation" brings the benefits of this practice into the modern Western home. In our increasingly stressful world, this is a unique book - essential for anyone who wants a more contented and easeful way of life.
About the Author
Tarthang Tulku was educated in Tibet in the Buddhist tradition and is internationally known as an innovative teacher and a visionary thinker. After ten years in India, where he taught and published rare Tibetan texts, he relocated to the USA in 1969, where he has since spent his time introducing the benefits of Buddhist philosophy to Westerners. In 1973 he founded the Nyingma Institute in Berkeley, California. Here, drawing upon his familiarity with Tibetan medical theory and healing techniques, he worked with his students to develop a unique system of deep relaxation for Westerners that harmonizes and energizes the faculties of body and mind.

nice 'n' relaxed,

This review is from: Tibetan Relaxation: The Illustrated Guide to Kum Nye Massage and Movement - a Yoga from the Tibetan Tradition (Healthy Living) (Paperback)
A lovely way to be introduced to the facinating world of Kum Nye. Set out in six chapters that explains everything from the essential core of tibetan buddhist relaxation, breathing, self massage, gentle movement and much more. Beautifully illustrated with full colour photos,this is a must for anyone wishing for a more relaxed and fulfilling way of living. Another good one to look out for is Tibetan Meditation which is by the same author Tarthang Tulku.

The best way to start Kum Nye,
By
This review is from: Tibetan Relaxation: The Illustrated Guide to Kum Nye Massage and Movement - a Yoga from the Tibetan Tradition (Healthy Living) (Paperback)
Kum Nye (pronounced "Koom Neeay") contains elements of yoga, meditation and massage and is rooted in the Tibetan tradition. My first introduction to Kum Nye was through this book; its clear, simple instructions and photos of postures and exercises makes it easy to learn the basics of Kum Nye and there is a surprising amount of detail. Kum Nye is now a part of my life thanks to this book.
