What is Lu Jong?

Lu Jong is an ancient Tibetan practice from the Buddhist Tantrayana tradition. Rooted in principles of Tibetan Medicine, it is a series of movements developed for the purpose of self-healing.

With this practice, you will be able to release blockages on the physical, energetic, and mental levels. The result is that you can effectively combat disease and imbalances, transform negative emotions, and increase your vitality.

Lu Jong is accessible to people of all ages, abilities and beliefs. The combination of rhythmic movements and breathing gently massages the body, targeting particular energetic points. It also cultivates a profound calm in the mind and emotions.

The Full Lu Jong Level 1 practice includes:

The Five Elements Movements (for opening the spine and general balancing)
The Five Body Parts Movements (for the musculoskeletal system)
The Five Vital Organ Movements (for improving function of the kidneys, heart, lungs, spleen and liver)
The Six Conditions Movements (for helping common imbalances such as digestion, senses, mood, and body temperature)
The Two Movements for Sleep and Wakefulness (for shifting your energy quickly)

Your Teacher

Farrah Garan has dedicated her life to spreading the deep wisdom of the Tibetan healing arts. Her aim is to make these simple—but powerfully effective—practices widely known so that many may benefit.

Farrah first learned Lu Jong in 2002 and has developed a deep love for it and the other Tantrayana practices she has received from Tulku Lobsang, including Tsa Lung, Tog Chöd and Tummo. Again and again, she experiences in herself and witnesses in her students the vitality, clarity and joy that is a benefit of these profound methods.

Read what others have said about Farrah's teachings on the Testimonials page.

Read more about Farrah's background here.

The Lineage of Tulku Lobsang

Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche is a highly-respected master of the Tantrayana Buddhist Tradition, Doctor of Tibetan Medicine, and founder and director of Nangten Menlang International Buddhist Medical Organization.

It is through him that we receive this comprehensive practice of Lu Jong. After many years of training in the monasteries of Tibet beginning at the age of 6, receiving empowerments from the Bon tradition as well as all the main schools of Tibetan Buddhism, Tulku-la distilled his knowledge of these movements into a clear system customized specifically for imbalances common in Western society.

Tulku Lobsang skillfully translates the essence of Buddhism so that we may effectively apply its wisdom in modern times.

Farrah is a long-time student of Tulku Lobsang, president of the North American affiliate of his non-profit organization, writer and editor of his Teacher’s Manuals and certified by him to spread these practices.
