Guided Practice & Ceremony
with Pema Rigdzin
Thursday, September 14th, 2023
6:00 PM pacific time
In person & Online
La is the protective energy, the pure aspect of the five elements which flows around our body in accordance with the lunar cycle to protect and support the physical body and the mind. There are various causes and conditions such as illnesses, emotional and physical traumas, grief, distress and so forth which may destabilize the La. This results in further illnesses, chronic fatigue, anxiety, insomnia and depression.
In this program, Pema Rigdzin will expand upon the meaning of La in the ancient Tibetan healing system and in the Vajrayana tradition. He will then perform the ceremony of hooking back the lost la in order to repair and restore vitality, health, joy and clarity. The ritual will be performed according to the Yuthok Nyingthig tradition.
This program is open to all practitioners as well as for those seeking integrative healing or deeper understanding of the Tibetan system of spiritual healing.
Given the nature of the ceremony, recording is not permitted. Thank you for your understanding.
Everyone is welcome to join in-person at the Wisdom Center or by zoom.
