about

Mastering Maras was created with intention to be used as a tool for meditation & creative visualization techniques.

Creative visualization, created & developed by Lama Tsultrim Allione, is a cognitive process where you generate visual imagery with the mind, and then consciously inspect and transform the images, thereby modifying their associated emotions or feelings. This creates a powerful effect, and has been used to minimize physical pain, to alleviate psychological symptoms such as anxiety/depression, improve self-confidence, enhance your abilities, invoke the imagination, and greatly improve healing outcomes. Tibetan Buddhist tantra in particular has long made use of these imaginal practices.

Demons (maras in Sanskrit) are not blood-thirsty ghouls waiting for us in dark corners. They are energies that we experience every day, such as fear, illness, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, addiction, impulses, weaknesses, repressed ideas, desires, and self-doubt.

Anything that drains our energy and blocks us from being completely awake and in our natural enlightened state can be considered a demon. The approach of giving a form to these inner forces and feeding them, rather than struggling and fighting against them, was originally articulated by an eleventh-century female Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Machig Labdrön (1055–1145). The spiritual practice she developed was called Chöd, and it generated such amazing results that it became very popular, spreading widely throughout Tibet, and beyond.

A torch to light your way in the darkest of caves... a vehicle to transport your consciousness to unforeseen realms in an imaginative journey that will lead you to the Source.
