Chö
is a lifelong spiritual practice for one's personal evolution, it is
also a unique and extremely effective means for healing others. Part of
the remarkable legacy of Machik Labdrön, the propagator of chö in
Tibet, is a set of healing practices that clear the underlying causes
of psychological and physical illness, while propelling us towards
ultimate enlightenment. For centuries, wandering chö practitioners were
well known in Tibet for their ability to heal illness, stop epidemics
and pacify local conflicts. Chö rituals can also heal the land, change
weather patterns and even improve the ecological balance of entire
areas through the spiritual force of this technique.
Chö For Healing Others
As
part of the THC Outreach Program, healing chö ceremonies are performed
either in a public venue, or in private homes for smaller groups. The
cycle of healing practices include:
The Hundred Torma Offering (Changbu Gyatsa) (Machik and PeGyal Lingpa traditions).
Offering in Six Parts (Tabpa Cha Druk).
The Nail of the Four Elements (Chang Shi Zerbu).
Those that are Hard to Tame (Shay Dul).
The Precious Rosary (Tsogley Rinchen Trengwa with special healing section added).
Ceremonies for the dying or deceased (Dur) to assist them in the afterlife journey.

Agree. I think the most important thing here when performing Chöd practice is to have a pure motivation of offering yourself as well as arising of compassion to the beings that's receiving your merits.
