e-Kum Nye Level 8: Kum Nye in a Nutshell - The 5 Trainings

The program Kum Nye in Five Trainings is a synopsis of many Kum Nye teachings. Kum Nye can be presented in many models. For example, one model is Balancing, Integrating, Stimulating and Transforming; another is Body, Breath and Mind. A third is Om Ah Hum; a fourth works with the Masculine and Feminine. This particular program originates with Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche and has been briefly described in the last chapter of the book MasterWork. Opening, Healing, Stimulating, Manifesting and Protecting are five trainings for human development.

This program in Five Trainings is an investigation into the meaning of Body and Mind, and how they underlie our human embodiment and all of existence.

1. Opening (lessons 2-3) of Body and Mind, which is a critical start for activating the flow of feeling, the motor of Kum Nye. 
2. Healing (lessons 4-5) Body and Mind, emphasizes becoming whole again, both within and without. 
3. Stimulating the energies (lessons 6-7) of Body and Mind to ensure optimal usage of the inner architecture of the subtle body system. 
4. Manifesting Body and Mind (lessons 8-9), deals with self-expression and attuning to change. 
5. Protecting (lesson 10) of the energies of Body and Mind.

In addition, this comprehensive program presents the nine levels of Kum Nye. In the book Kum Nye - Tibetan Yoga, Tarthang Tulku writes about the three levels of relaxation. More recently, Rinpoche has broken this down into nine levels, which are being discussed in detail in this program. As usual, each lesson starts with theory on one of the five trainings in the context of Body and Mind, followed by one of the nine levels of Kum Nye, practice suggestions, reflections for time outside the Kum Nye practice sessions, and suggestions for reading. 

We hope you join us in the globally expanding Kum Nye – Om Ah Hum!
