Improving Visualizations

Please perform the Tomo Metsig purification practice. Every morning, when you are brushing your teeth, recite the Tomo Metsig mantra three times:

OM ARYAM SIRKAM BIMANASE UTSUMA MAHAKRODHA HUM PHAT

Then brush your tongue and rinse your mouth out with water three times.

Also, when you take a shower, visualize Tomo Metsig washing down your body. The purpose of this practice is to purify your mind and improve your visualizations.

Tomo Metsig Washing Practice
As it is said in the text Ka ri ka, “Having cleaned the dirt from your face and teeth, respectfully prostrate to the fully awakened Buddha.” After waking up in the morning, when you wash you can do so as when initiating the individual deities of the four classes or you can do the following practice.

On top of your crown in an instant abides the dakini, Metseg, and through the vase water she cleanses the outside of your body, beautifying all uncleanliness and pollutions.

Visualize in this way, and then recite the mantra while washing yourself:

OM ARYAM SIRKAM BIMANASE UTSUMA MAHAKRODHA HUM PHAT

After you have brushed your teeth and tongue and rinsed your mouth three times, the dakini on the top of your crown dissolves into you and blesses you.

If you practice as above, you will not have the faults of uncleanliness, pollution, etc.

After that, arrange offerings in front of the holy objects according to your capacity.

The student wrote many years later to say he had recited the mantra while brushing his teeth for 15 years and his visualizations had greatly improved.
