About Tummo
Introduction to Tummo and Sound Healing Meditation
This ancient practice uses specific bodily exercises combined with breath and concentration to open the energy centers or chakras. The results of this yogic practice are loosening of the knots in our chakras. The physical exercises combined with breath control and meditation concentrate the mind on flaming the inner heat (tummo). Inner heat melts the obscuration within our central channel. Mind and breath flow together. The mind that rides the breath (prana) is our subtle mind. When we concentrate the subtle mind and breath in our energy centers this purifies and releases the karmic winds and ultimately awakens our primordial wisdom. The benefits of this practice are the transformation of negative emotions into their pristine forms of wisdom. On a more temporal level, we have less illness caused from obscurations and disease.

Lama is a gifted energy healer who has received His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s blessing to practice healing work.
