A deeper and fuller feeling of joy is often the result of Kum Nye practice, and it is also the vehicle that we can use to go deeper into other areas which are not necessarily so positive. The more that we can develop the capacity to experience joy (and this does require practice) the more able we are to bring that joyful energy to other aspects of our lives. We bring lightness, curiosity acceptance and vitality into the denser areas of our consciousness and find out that they too are just energies that have the capacity to nourish us. Once we have learned to touch into joy, we can expand it, and then condense or accumulate that energy so that it works to open up the space of negativity.
