The traditional Tibetan Chö ceremony combines sacred song, ritual instruments, and chanting to purify the five elements which compose the body and mind. It is an approach for clearing the deeper causes of illness believed to be psychological and karmic.

It can be used to resolve stubborn obstacles, either energetic or ancestral, that are difficult to access or unresponsive to other therapies. While resolving these influences, it improves health and generates refreshed spiritual consciousness.

Traditionally, Chö rituals have been offered to achieve numerous purposes:

• severing attachments which hinder our ability to perceive clearly and live freely
• clearing obstacles that impede spiritual progress
• pacifying afflictive emotions
• balancing the five elements that dictate health in the body
• practicing generosity and compassion
• harmonizing land spirits
• supplicating beneficent deities for blessings

While Chö is a Vajrayana Buddhist ritual, you need not be Buddhist to attend, nor will you have to chant in Tibetan. It is helpful to set an intention to direct the focus of the ceremony but otherwise nothing is required of guests but to relax and receive. After participating, most feel light, uplifted and refreshed.
