Stuck in patterns you can&#8217;t seem to shake?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;re not imagining it \u2014 and it&#8217;s not just in your head. It&#8217;s in your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all know this instinctively. We say things like <em>&#8220;what a pain in the neck&#8221;<\/em> or feel stress tighten our jaw, stiffen our shoulders, or lodge a lump in our throats. These aren&#8217;t just expressions. They are your body&#8217;s wisdom speaking \u2014 telling you that unresolved emotional energy has found a home in your tissues, your nervous system, your very cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of it like ice cubes of frozen suffering \u2014 moments in life we couldn&#8217;t fully process or relate to skillfully in the moment. Over time, these accumulate, creating habitual patterns that make us reactive rather than responsive, causing unnecessary suffering for ourselves and those around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news? These ice cubes can melt. And when they do, your natural energy finds its way back to balance, ease, and flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ABOUT THE WORKSHOP<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"976\" height=\"976\" src=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/body-mind-emotions.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15622\" style=\"width:257px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/body-mind-emotions.jpg 976w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/body-mind-emotions-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/body-mind-emotions-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/body-mind-emotions-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/body-mind-emotions-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/body-mind-emotions-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This two-hour immersive online workshop draws from <strong>Kum Nye<\/strong> \u2014 an ancient system of Tibetan Yoga popularized in the West by the renowned master <strong>Tarthang Tulku<\/strong>. These rare and powerful practices are focused primarily on the body&#8217;s energy system rather than physical strength or flexibility, making them accessible to virtually everyone regardless of age or physical ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is said that the Buddha himself taught energetic practices to help settle the body and mind \u2014 not only in preparation for sitting meditation, but as a path to living life more gracefully and wholeheartedly. These teachings have been preserved across centuries precisely because they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike traditional talk therapy, which engages the mind, sometimes inadvertantly reinforcing our &#8220;storylines&#8221;, or conventional yoga, which focuses on the body, <strong>Emotional Mastery of Body\u2013Mind<\/strong> works at the intersection of both \u2014 using breathwork, acupressure, and mindful body postures to transform emotional clutter into clarity, confidence, and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are not abstract concepts. They are simple, learnable practices \u2014 and participants are consistently surprised at how immediately effective they are.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"794\" height=\"302\" src=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Tibetan-yoga-workshop.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15646\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2.6292332701164995;width:289px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Tibetan-yoga-workshop.jpg 794w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Tibetan-yoga-workshop-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Tibetan-yoga-workshop-768x292.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT YOU&#8217;LL EXPERIENCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this workshop you will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Learn the core <strong>&#8220;Dissolving Practice&#8221;<\/strong> \u2014 a gentle, powerful technique to calm the mind and bring strong emotions back into balance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experience the <strong>&#8220;Great Transformation&#8221;<\/strong> exercise \u2014 shifting self-doubt and limiting beliefs into authentic confidence and courage,  releasing grief, sadness, and stored tension \u2014 transforming heavy emotional weight into vibrant, flowing energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discover how to <strong>release anger, fear, and resistance<\/strong> stored in the body as physical sensation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walk away with practices you can use <strong>every day<\/strong> \u2014 on the cushion, at work, in relationships, and in the middle of life&#8217;s most challenging moments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are not one-time fixes. They are life skills \u2014 a toolkit for navigating whatever comes your way with more ease, tenderness, and genuine resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a palliative and hospice nurse, Melissa walks alongside people facing immeasurable pain and loss \u2014 every single day. People often ask how she maintains her warmth, her balance, and her cheerfulness in the face of such profound suffering. Her answer is always the same: <em>these practices.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Image-Ikuse.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10538\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.9583321002633838;width:157px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Image-Ikuse.jpeg 506w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Image-Ikuse-288x300.jpeg 288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MEET YOUR GUIDE \u2014 MELISSA LEWIS, RN BSN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melissa came to these practices over 30 years ago and has never looked back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kum Nye has been her anchor. Her compass. Her daily medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now a skilled and compassionate teacher, Melissa brings both the clinical precision of a trained nurse and the open heart of a longtime practitioner to every workshop she leads. She doesn&#8217;t just teach these practices \u2014 she lives them.
