Chö is a lifelong spiritual practice for one's personal evolution,
it is also a unique and extremely effective means for healing
others. Part of the remarkable legacy of Machik Labdrön, the
propagator of chö in Tibet, is a set of healing practices that
clear the underlying causes of psychological and physical illness,
while propelling us towards ultimate enlightenment. For centuries,
wandering chö practitioners were well known in Tibet for their
ability to heal illness, stop epidemics and pacify local conflicts.
Chö rituals can also heal the land, change weather patterns and
even improve the ecological balance of entire areas through the
spiritual force of this technique.
