What is CHOD

 Chod (also spelled Chöd) is a profound Tibetan Buddhist practice that means "cutting" or "severance of ego." This transformative meditation technique involves offering one's body as food to demons and spiritual beings, thereby cutting through attachment, fear, and ego-clinging. Originating from the teachings of the 11th-century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdrön, Chod represents a unique fusion of ancient Tibetan shamanic traditions with Buddhist principles of compassion and emptiness, creating a powerful method for psychological and spiritual liberation.
