Glorious White Tara is the healer of all ills and giver of long life. This beautiful practice was the foundation for a retreat focused on experiential meditations that introduced the tantric sadhana and mantra recitation as a healing method. White Tara is a favorite of our teachers so we dedicated the power of this practice to the long lives of our gurus. The retreat included meditations and yoga practices to open up the body/mind to experience the bliss that arises from letting go of concrete mental self appearances and opening to the joyful vast realm of White Tara’s healing mandala. We also used the practice to try and heal others as well as energising our already existing healing practices, whatever they are.

This retreat used FPMT’s White Tara Long Sadhana for Retreat practice which you can access here. Please note you must have received a White Tara empowerment to do the practice in full. If you haven’t received it, you may do the practice but DO NOT self generate as the deity.
