At some point something challenging has occurred in our lives that, because we didn't know how to manage it, we chose to live around it. It is a rock in our road. Every day, its sitting there, and every day we might curse it, think about it, and then inevitably move around it. Because its been there so long, we automatically start moving around it without much conscious attention. We may have learned to navigate several boulders in our lives. Some are difficult to get around others, not so much. However, they are all frustrating, and they take our energy.
These are not so much physical rocks as they are rocks in our psychic energy fields. They show up when someone or something triggers them, and we get upset with the someone or something that brought them to our attention.
The practice of Kum Nye offers us the opportunity to sit down with these boulders, just sit, and through the process of observation, just through the practice of being interested and curious, these boulders dissolve. It takes staying with the feelings they evoke; allowing ourselves to directly contact the dense, heavy dark energy with our loving presence.
When they dissolve, space opens up, and the barriers between us and the world also dissolve. We feel more alive and more connected to life. This is the reason we do Kum Nye.
