Tsa lung (Tib. rtsa rlung, channel[s] [and] prana) are special yogic exercises.[1] The exercises are used in the Tibetan Bön tradition and the Nyingma and Drikung Kagyud schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

The exercises are used:

  • to open major chakras and
  • to bring the prana from the side channels into the central channel.[2]

That coincides with mind releasing dualistic misperceptions and abiding in non-dual awareness of rigpa (Tib. rig pa). Detailed instructions on the exercises describe 3 levels of rtsa rlung:

  • external
  • internal
  • "secret".

Each level contains 5 exercises corresponding to five elements.[3]
