TIBETAN HEALING MASSAGE
DR. NIDA CHENATSANG

september 2025 · PURE LAND california

Dr Nida reveals the Tibetan art of massage, details its unique characteristics, and shows its links to theories of typology and subtle energy.

Massage therapy is a part of every healing tradition in the world, and healing touch may be the oldest and most natural therapy known to humans: ancient Egyptian and Indian written records of massage therapy date from 2500 BCE, and oral traditions speak of origins still older. Kunyé is the massage therapy of Sowa Rigpa—traditional Tibetan Medicine—and with other Sowa Rigpa 'external therapies' forms a key component of a sophisticated and holistic system of medicine that offers us a path to health and happiness through the cultivation of balance and harmony.
