Kum Nye and Medical Chi Kung Massage

Kum Nye and Medical Chi Kung (or medical chi gong) massage are Himalayan yogic forms of healing which involve cooperative movement, the application of differing kinds of physical pressure over a small area (“marma,” or body reflex massage), physical tapping or light vibration, acupressure, mild stretching of muscle and/or bone, massage of nerve, lymphatic, circulatory or pranic pathways, and the use of prana (life energy, or chi). The massage may be very focused to one area of the body, or an entire body revivfication. Sometimes herbal therapy is delivered transdermally via oil with the massage if required. All methods are directed toward stimulating healing and rejuvenation. 

There is also a form of self massage taught at Buddha’s Alchemy. The more sophisticated methods of self massage entail the use of hatha and prana yoga for self healing.

Buddhist massage utilizes all of the above methods with the integration of concentration and focussing of mind-heart energy.
