Bon Healing

Bon healing principles honor the integral link between spirituality and health, and the improvement of well-being through mind-body approaches. A Bon practice awakens our natural healing energies in the mind and body. The techniques are designed to deepen the practitioner’s connection with the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space), which are the energetic undercurrent that form and affect the physical world, including our bodies. One must improve lifestyle and environmental factors that adversely impact health and make adjustments to relieve unnecessary physical, mental, or spiritual stress. In addition, while what is digested in the physical body is important, what we digest in our psyches on the mental and emotional levels is equally important. True healing requires that we also locate these more subtle, though potent, mental and emotional patterns that may be at the root of a specific health condition. Hence, the therapeutic value of meditation and chanting practices is highly regarded in Bon healing modalities. As the world faces many modern challenges and fears, including epidemics and new diseases, a daily prayer and mantra recitation are among many ways we can awaken our innate healing powers and contribute to the healing of ourselves, humanity, and the planet earth.
