The words Kum Nye literally mean “inner massage of the subtle body.” The practice consists of slow movements, stillness practices and postures, meditative awareness, Breathwork, sense exercises, and Self-Massage.

You’ll find quite a number of resemblances with Vipassana Insight Meditation, Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong.

One of the fundamentals of Kum Nye is to release energy blockages and allow Vital Life Energy to flow unobstructed through body and mind to restore full sense awareness and the wholeness of our body-mind being.

Benefits of practicing Kum Nye include stress reduction, calming the mind, energizing the body, refreshing the senses, restoring a calm rhythmic breath, and cultivating inner knowledge and awareness.
