Energy Flow Meditation

About the program

Awaken the wisdom of your body to restore and free itself of tension with these energy flow meditations.

Inspired by the traditional Tibetan healing system (Kum Nye), these meditations utilise movement, breath and touch to awaken the energy flow in your body. 

Kum Nye focuses on body awareness and restoring the natural energy flow through the body. It integrates the physical and psychological through simple postures and movement, as well as self-massage and breathing practices. 

Through this series of classes you will learn to relax and restore your body in an easy, joyful way. There is no specific outcome or goal, just the practice of getting more attuned to your body and a letting go of the linear logic of the mind that often causes stress and tension.

What to expect?

This program consists of six meditations. Each class is around 25 minutes long. We will work with some of the techniques of Kum Nye; the breath, movement and touch. Each class will start with a centering through the breath (through the nose and the mouth), followed by a simple exercise to awaken an energy flow that we allow to expand through the body. 

"We practise to let go of any form of manipulation or expectation by just letting the energy flow freely, surrendering to its course. This in itself is deeply relaxing." Esther Teule.

We recommended taking the course of classes over two weeks, practising three classes a week. 

Who is it for? 

These meditations are accessible for everybody and don’t require any previous experience. They offer deep relaxation and insights for advanced practitioners, as well as beginners.

Class 1 : Opening the body

Your class
Opening the body
In this first class of the program, Esther explains the breathing through the nose and mouth, often used in Kum Nye Yoga. (For the introductory class, Esther refers to, please click here.) This relaxed way of breathing, simultaneously through the mouth and the nose, both on the in-and out-breath, allows us to hold the body in an open concentration, giving it space and room to restore itself...

Class 2: Centering in the belly

Your class
A circle of nourishment
We will start with the nose-mouth breathing, relaxing into an open state on our cushion. To center ourselves and activate energy to flow, we will stretch and flex our legs, do Butterfly Pose and rotate the upper body, loosening tension in the lower belly and pelvis. Then we sit still in meditation, letting the energy flow and expand from there, surrendering to whatever arises...

Class 3: A circle of nourishment

Your class
Centering in the belly
After we have centered and tuned ourselves by doing the nose-mouth breathing, we will use our own hands in this class to energize our body, a technique used in Kum Nye. We will do this by collecting energy in our cupped hands, and letting this energy meet in the heart centre...

Class 4: Coming back to yourself

Your class
Coming back to yourself
We will start with breathing through the nose and mouth, letting the body relax and open up. Then we will energize our hands again, and ground ourselves by touching our feet, belly, heart and face, bringing energy inwards...

Class 5: Releasing energy in the lower body

Your class
Releasing energy in the lower body
We start the class by breathing for a while through the nose and mouth, letting ourselves adjust to the meditation pose. We will continue with an exercise in a standing position, bringing muscle tension in the legs and then releasing blocked energy, allowing the lower body to let go of tension...

Class 6: Let it flow

Your class
Let it flow
