All human beings have a natural desire for balance in their lives and according to ancient Tibetan Bön texts, treatment for unbalance or disturbances is based on healing the spiritual, emotional and physical portions of our lives.  In Tibetan culture, the way to heal them is using healing and purification methods that have been passed down for over six thousand years. 

In the Yungdrung Bon lineage there are methods to purify illnesses that technology and knowledge cannot cure or fix, and there are skills that teach us how to accept the diseases and sicknesses that we cannot cure by any method.  
​

Body, Mind & Spirit

Our life would be much easier, healthier, and happier if we could free ourselves from ignorance, anger, and desire-attachment.  This is true both with regard to our mind, and with regard to our body and feelings. When we take care of the mind, our body and feelings will experience healing also.

​Bon healing practice works on the body, mind and spirit. It can help us clear physical illness as well as disturbances in our mind and our feelings. On the physical level, once we master a healing practice, we have the power to heal a variety of illnesses and pain.
​

Practices

​In this weekend teaching retreat, GesheLa will focus on the Tibetan Bon healing practices for the body, the mind and the spirit:
