Jonathan – you invite us to have ongoing curiosity about not just this region but about what is stimulated by such practices. For me, this has been an ongoing area of interest – one that it has taken quite some time (years) to explore in depth – and that I’m still developing.
The occiput region is featured in the head massage section. There’s description especially of one important point, #6. Rinpoche suggests we “go deeply into” a certain feeling and special energy. Not everyone may have access to this right away -it’s important not to rush to try to produce results. This area also, however, is where many tensions get caught, and “rubbing it refreshes all bodily energies.” The feeling here, gone deeply into, “brings the subtle senses alive” (KNTY p. 100).
Also perhaps, sessions spent entirely on certain sections like head massage might be wonderful to do for later or further Kum Nye. The fourth semester of Kum Nye Teacher Training is devoted entirely to Kum Nye massage.
Thank you for bringing this up, Jonathan. I have often wondered about this area, and after your comment, read the massage area #6 again. To add to the part that Abbe quoted, after that he says ” Feeling washes through the spine and the backs of the shoulders, sometimes reaching the heart”. A “warm happy baby” evokes a joyous, spontaneous feeling of being alive that transcends limited “personal” identity.
