Kum Nye and sKu-mNyé are a wide variety of Tibetan religious and medical body practices. The two terms are different spellings in the Latin alphabet of the same Tibetan phrase (Wylie: ''sku mnye''), which literally means "massage of the subtle body". Some systems of ''sku mnye'' are vaguely similar to Yoga, T'ai chi, Qigong, or therapeutic massage. "Kum Nye", Ku Nye, and Kunye are also used to transcribe the Tibetan phrases ''dku mnye'' ("belly massage") and ''bsku mnye'' ("oil massage"), which are pronounced identically to ''sku mnye''. ''dKu mnye'' and ''bsku mnye'' manipulate the physical body, rather than the subtle (energetic) one. Systems of Kum Nye are found in many Tibetan Buddhist and Bön traditions. These can be entirely different both in purpose and in methods. For instance, some forms are very slow moving; others are intensely aerobic. Some systems are based in the Tibetan Medical Tantras (scriptures), and are mainly therapeutic. Other systems are based in Dzogchen, and are mainly religious in purpose. Three systems of ''sku mnye'' have been described and taught in detail in English. These are Tarthang Tulku's Kum Nye, the Aro gTér sKu-mNyé and the Bön system taught by Stephanie Wright. Systems of ''bsku mnye'' are taught by the International Academy for Traditional Tibetan Medicine and the Shang Shung Institute. == Tarthang Tulku's Kum Nye == (詳細はLama Tarthang Tulku first introduced Kum Nye into the West. He has written five books on the subject.〔Tarthang Tulku (1978a) ''Kum Nye Relaxation Part 1: Theory, Preparation, Massage'', Dharma Publishing, ISBN 978-0-913546-10-9〕〔Tarthang Tulku (1978b) ''Kum Nye Relaxation: Part 2: Movement Exercises'', Dharma Publishing, ISBN 978-0-913546-74-1〕〔Tarthang Tulku (2003) ''Tibetan Relaxation: Kum Nye Massage and Movement'', Thorsons, ISBN 978-0-00-766238-8〕〔Tarthang Tulku (2005) ''The Joy of Being'', Dharma Publishing, ISBN 978-0-89800-388-8〕〔Tarthang Tulku (2007) ''Kum Nye: Tibetan Yoga: A Complete Guide to Health and Wellbeing'', Dharma Publishing, ISBN 978-0-89800-421-2〕 This system appears to be largely from the Medical Tantras, but includes exercises similar to those found in the Dzogchen series. It is based on very slow movements, stillness practices, and massage. This Kum Nye has been described as Inner Massage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kum Nye」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
