Ep333: Tibetan Healing Massage - Dr Nida Chenagtsang

In this interview I am once again joined by Dr Nida Chenagtsang, Buddhist teacher, doctor of Tibetan Medicine, and author of “Tibetan Healing Massage”.

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

Dr Nida explains the Tibetan idea of “la” energy and how it is best guarded, details acupressure points and their proposed effects, and offers his perspective on rethinking health and spirituality.

Dr Nida also gives a live demonstration of Tibetan external therapies including massage, cupping, hot compress therapy, stick therapy, and more.
