Chöd
practice
I introduce you to Chöd, which means “cutting through” in Tibetan.
This practice helps to loosen attachment to one’s own “self”, to fear and to habitual identifications.
Not fighting fear, but meeting it
In the practice I use meditation, voice, rhythm and visualisation. I help you see your own attachments, develop compassion and recognise the nature of experience more clearly. I came to this tradition through the teachers of Rigpa Awareness Academy.
Register for the practiceView and intention
For me the heart of Chöd is not musical skill but understanding the meaning of the practice, right intention, compassion and mindfulness.
Voice and visualisation
Through text, melodic recitation and imagery I help you hold your attention and work with the sense of a separate, unchanging “self”.
Guidance of a teacher
I introduce Chöd gradually, in the context of the tradition and with explanations. To begin, you need neither a musical ear nor ritual instruments.
Instruments of the practice
I use traditional instruments to support rhythm, attention and the symbolic dimension of the practice. I add them once you already understand the meaning.
A double-sided ritual drum that sets the rhythm of recitation and practice.
A flat bronze bell whose sound structures separate parts of the ritual.
A ritual trumpet symbolically linked with cutting through the ego and overcoming fear.
A space of living practice
I create a focused atmosphere where voice, rhythm, silence and attention work together.
The practice requires preparation
I do not recommend starting Chöd on your own from a text or video alone. I explain the practice gradually and ask participants to pay careful attention to their mental state. Before you take part, I will tell you about the format and requirements.
