Both Dzogchen and Mahamudra work directly with the alchemy of raw emotions, energy, and mind. There will be inner upheavals, wacky meditative experiences (nyam), and extreme highs and lows. Please take this into consideration if you have a history of mental health issues or are experiencing significant emotional distress. This practice is not for everyone.

If the Mahayana path is like hiking a trail up a mountain, then Dzogchen is like climbing a sheer rock wall – it is a direct route with many more pitfalls. THINGS CAN GO WRONG!
