Join us for a New 10
Week Series . . .
Integrating Body and Mind
to Engender Wellness
On Monday Evenings
Beginning November 12th, 7 - 8:30 PM
|
Over
the course of 10 weeks, our Kum Nye Yoga practice
will set in motion a process of deeply relaxing body
and mind, opening a path for spiritual development
in the midst of our busy daily lives.
In these sessions we will apply gentle physical
postures and movements, breathing exercises and self
massage to activate the flow of feeling. As our
practice develops, relaxation will naturally evoke
joyful feelings.
By accumulating these happy wholesome feelings and
opening the senses, we awaken the radiant presence
of experience and begin the process of self healing.
We begin to touch long held blockages, releasing
their energy, allowing
us to be more
relaxed and light.
With each moment more open to fresh participation,
we get a taste of freedom, with fewer blockages and
fewer emotional conflicts.
Confusion naturally clears and negative emotions
diminish. Our energy is more dynamic and open.
Please join us. |

From where we stand
now, we may be able to reflect on what kinds of
external experiences have shaped the course of our
lives, but we may have no idea how years of
restriction have affected the internal aspects of
our body - our senses, nerves, organs, and
circulatory systems – perhaps even the ways our
minds operate. |
Although our
bodies are an ever-present resource for enjoyment
and accomplishment, we may have neglected them a
long time. They may bear the secret scars of
agitation and anger, strong thoughts, and a
propensity to rash actions. They may be blocked by
knots of tension that close off the flow of feeling.
Kum Nye provides an
opportunity to open these knots from within and
bring up the feelings that have been locked within
them.
Kum Nye Offers the tools we
need to relax deeply and open sensory fields of our
being, touching sensitive places and embracing
strong feelings without fear through gentle physical
movements and meditation.
Practicing these exercises, we develop joy that can
wash out the painful residues of regret and
transform anger and resentment into positive
expressions.
As we learn the language of our own bodies and
senses, we gain more control over feelings,
thoughts, and our style of expression.
We can find our true foundation, improve connections
between senses, body and mind, and create a new life
for ourselves based on a better understanding of our
own embodiment. In a way we have never before
experienced, we can truly
BE.
Arnaud
Maitland will lead the seminar. He has over 25
years of experience leading Kum Nye workshops and is
one of the most experienced Kum Nye teachers in the
world. |

Long term
sustainability is an on-going challenge for many

success.
Skillful Means methods provide leaders
with the structure, components and tools to face
challenges and create a healthy sustainable
