Readings and exercises from Tarthang Tulku's book Kum Nye – Tibetan Yoga.

Program 2 – The Art of Developing Balance
The key to both internal integration and a balanced relationship with the world lies within our feelings and sensations. We can nurture and heal the body and mind by touching our feelings deeply and expanding the flowing rhythms they bring to us, for they are linked to the vitality of the universe.
Exercises 1, 15, 19, 16, 57 Time: 59’57"
Program 3 – Integrating Body and Mind
Through Kum Nye we awaken feelings, which expand and accumulate until we slowly become aware of a deep, interpenetrating field of energy, inside the body and beyond. This energy can sustain and nurture us in our daily lives. Our minds become clearer and we discover what it means to be balanced.
Exercises 47, 21, 33, 22 Time: 62’50"
Program 4 – Living Life in the Breath
Once we know how to contact the energy of breath, breathing becomes an infinite source of vitalizing energies. We can change our mental and physical states by changing the way we breathe.

Program 5 – Developing Wholeness of Energy
When we activate the feelings in the body and use our senses, every part of the body becomes vibrantly alive and healthy – mentally and emotionally we become fully awake.

Program 6 – Tools for Transformation

Program 10 – Transmuting Negative Energies
