The practice of Kum Nye promotes deep relaxation, giving mind space to BE.
(The Joy of Being, p. 115)
This term works closely with several key Joy of Being chapters (“Mind and Perceptions” and “Getting the Juice of Experience”). Meditations and movement practice help relieve deep-seated tension and blockages and encourage embodied understanding of mental and somatic patterning. Kum Nye teaches us that the body can help relax the mind and stimulate its sensory capacities, while the flow of feeling relaxes the senses and opens the heart.
This fourth term continues to present The Joy of Being’s approach to building and strengthening the Kum Nye experience– a foundation for truly embodying Kum Nye.
This is the fourth of seven modules of the Nyingma Institute International Joy of Being Teacher Training program that also includes 9 weekend workshops and runs through February 2027.
These weekly classes can be taken separately, just for the love of it, with permission of the instructors.
