These exercises come from the secret yogic exercise traditions of Ganchen and Sakya monasteries of Western Tibet. They are also represented in the basreliefs of the Borobudur stupa-mandala of central Java, Indonesia.
They were first taught by Lama Gangchen at the winter Borobudur retreat in AHMC in Italy on December 2002.
These yoga exercises can be done by anyone regardless of their religious or philosophical background as self healing or basis for deeper tantric meditations. If you wish to do them to increase your well being and health you are welcome. If you want to use them as a way of enlightenment, then you need to first train in renunciation, bodhichitta and the correct view of emptiness
