Tsa Lung Healing Practice And Meditation

 

What is Tsa Lung?

Tsalung in Sanskrit word is "Nadi-Vayu" and  in Tibetan word it is called "Rtsa rlung" where "Rtsa" denotes an energetic channel) are special yogic exercises. The exercises are used in the Bon tradition and the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

Tsa Lung Healing Practice

In Tibetan, it is known as "rtsa rlung gi bcos thabs" is a method for healing body-mind disorders that is not based on material medicines. It is derived from Tibetan Buddhist tantric practice; a precious yogic practice which is also called geksel trulkhor (bgegs bsal ’khrul ’khor): “magical obstacle-clearing techniques.”

The practices of Tsa Lung Trulkor / Tsa Lung Tikle is an ancient art of movement, postures and breathing exercises; its knowledge is very much associated with the Tibetan Medicine Doctrine. It was originally performed in Tibet in the Bon tradition and later the Great Master Padmasambhava combined it with other methods and modified it according to the Tibetan Nyingma Buddhist School.

That is why it is also called the Nyingma Tsa Lung Trulkor / Tsa Lung Tickle. However, this practice went through the Kagyu Buddhist School also. This practice very much relies on Tibetan Buddhism and it is inseparable from the practice of compassion and emptiness. Although it may seem only physical, it is deeply rooted in the school of the mind.

1. Tsa means nadis or channels
2. Lung means Prana or Wind energy
3. Trulkor means our body is like an engine
4. Tikle means the essence of drops

The body depends on the elements; the elements depend on the 72,000 channels (Tsa); these channels depend on the life sustaining wind (Lung); the wind depends on the mind and on the essence of drops (Tikle).

If the channels are trained, then the wind can be held. If the wind can be held, then the essence of drops can be freed. If the essence of drops is freed then the innate clear light wisdom (mind) can arise. This makes the practice of Tsa Lung Trulkor / Tsa Lung Tikle very important.

When the channels are not well trained, the wind becomes disturbed and the essence of drops cannot be freed, causing numerous difficulties in the physical and mental dimensions. For example: irregular menstruation, muscular and joint point, and mainly all physical sicknesses that arise from the mind that a common doctor is unable to cure (negative emotions, unhappiness, suffering, and so on).

In order to exercise the Tsa Lung Trulkor / Tsa Lung Tikle, there are some preliminaries that are needed. It is also very important to have good physical behavior and adequate moral values. The practitioner must also have knowledge on how the wind exists as well as an understanding of the benefits gained from the practice.

Finding the Right Teacher

In the world today there are many other different practices of training the wind energy, but most important is that it should always be transmitted and taught by a master to a student.

For this reason, one should find an authentic teacher that has a peaceful mind, who guides and serves other being compassionate, and that has a pure unbroken lineage. The type of master who keeps the lineage should have a profound realization and is not only learned but has a cultivated a genuine experience. It is said that the union between the right master, the right disciple and an effective practice is like having in your hand a wish-fulfilling jewel.

The Benefits of Tsa Lung Healing Practice

Tsa Lung is a traditional Tibetan Tantrayana practice that incorporates breath retention with movement for the purpose of releasing blockages in the subtle body channels. The result is increased energy and vitality, as well as the cultivation of a calm, clear mind.
