See Your Hopes and Fears as Creations of the Mind with This Meditation Practice from Tibet.
Within the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism lies a meditation tradition for facing-and dissolving-our greatest fears and attachments in life. Now one of contemporary Tibetan Buddhism's most experienced and respected teachers, Tsultrim Allione, adapts this practice to the challenges unique to our time on Cutting Through Fear.
Based on the traditional practice of chöd (literally "to cut"), this method was developed by the legendary Tibetan yogini Machig Labdrön almost 1,000 years ago and is practiced to this day in Tibet as a path to awareness.
Here, Lama Tsultrim introduces listeners to chöd and explores the essence of these ancient teachings, bringing to bear her experience both as a Tibetan yogini from a centuries-old lineage and as a Western woman and a mother. Drawing from root visualization practices, she'll guide you through a four-step process that can help you get through states of fear and other unhelpful emotions by meeting and releasing them.
Fear, for so many people today, manifests as addiction, compulsion, anger, and other difficult emotions. With Cutting Through Fear, we can gain new insights to stop struggling against these emotions and instead liberate them. See Your Hopes and Fears as Creations of the Mind with This Meditation Practice from Tibet.
