KTS 110<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">These reflections about time remind me Kum Nye technique, presented by Tarthang Tulku as the art of developing balance through relaxation. In his book, Kum Nye Relaxation part 1, he says that when we relax we discover a quality of feeling, common to the body, breath and mind, that is calm and soft. When the body and the breath were calm and relaxed enough, a feeling of joy arises, and this feeling can become so abundant and deep, that\u00c2\u00a0is almost eternal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Tarthang Tulku also says that, within the body and beyond, subtle energies nourish feelings of satisfaction and harmony. We ourselves integrate to this feeling, and we become inseparable of\u00c2\u00a0it, awakening\u00c2\u00a0an overall vitality, a feeling that accumulates constantly. Life becomes a continuous flow in the vast universe: every cell, every sense, each part of consciousness, of the past or the future is part of this flow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When I am relaxed and calm enough, I feel my body filled with space, and the borders of my body seem to dissolve, leaving in the background all the substantiality. This spacious quality married with awareness allows an expansion of perception and experience. It is like space projecting space with <em>no beginning and no end<\/em>. To expand this experience it is like allowing it to continue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">My experience allows me to see that when body, breath and mind are integrated I am totally engaged in the energy of time, totally participating. Balanced and open I can drop all barriers of substantiality, separation and points of reference, I can expand my experience without limits, and see that past, present and future are melted into a common being.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>When time opens to the invariable, experience continues \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwithout change\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, but its nature undergoes transformation. The rhythms of time are transcended into knowing; the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcmechanism\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of understanding becomes the subtle part of time. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcMeasured-out\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 existence is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. All that remains is the Body of Knowledge, dwelling in all manifestations.
