I am teaching another workshop in sKu-mNyé, Dzogchen psycho-physical exercises from the Aro gTér.
Suitable for beginners and those with experience.
Sunday 16th April
10.30 - 13.30
Lions
What is sKu-mNyé?
sKu-mNyé (pronounced koo mnyay). is a cycle of Dzogchen psycho-physical exercises
sKu-mNyé means ‘massage of the energy body’. The ‘energy body’ is called the rTsa rLung system. rTsa rLung is a system unique to the Vajrayana tradition of Tibet. The rTsa rLung system is made up of ‘nerves,’ called rTsa, and the currents of energy they carry, called rLung.
During this workshop we will look at exercises from the Lions section, from the first 35 of 111 exercises
These range from comparatively gentle and accessible exercises to ones that are more challenging.
I will introduce a combination of these, and we will look at ways of breaking up the harder ones and how to work towards accomplishing them.
The active exercise part of sKu-mNyé is always practiced with a prone medication posture, alternating active movements with phases of medication. I will give some explanation of this so that you have the beginnings of a practice you can explore at home.
Donations are requested to cover studio rent, suggested minimum €10
