If you have any kind of desire or wish that you want to attain then do Özer Chenma practice and you can obtain it! But you don’t need to tell Özer Chenma your specific problem … she already knows.

Özer Chenma (or Maritse in Sanskrit) meaning “she who possesses the rays of light” – is a female deity usually depicted as a rosy-yellow colour holding a treasure vase, seated in front of the rising sun. Her wisdom is embodied in her brilliant radiance
and infinite rays of light which eliminate all negative karma. She is often represented as the 21st Tara in the ‘21 Praises to Tara’ and can also be invoked by using the 21st action mantra in the Guru Arya Tara practice.  As a manifestation of Tara, she offers both relative and ultimate benefits, helping us to overcome any mundane problems in our daily life as well as guiding us to supreme realization.
 
This deity of light has the power or siddhi to dispel all darkness – the ignorance, confusion, sickness, fear, poverty and any obstacles which we encounter in our everyday life. Özer Chenma is similar to Green Tara in that she has a particularly active quality of wisdom, especially if we need to obtain something quickly. Her practice is very good for achieving wealth or success in business, to promote longevity, to overcome illness and as a protection whilst travelling.  There are many teachings on Özer Chenma, but this retreat is based on the Dzogchen transmission of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu’s family lineage, including those from his grandmother.
