❖ About the section

This section is created to support others in Namkha making, including those who need to refresh some part of the process.

Also it’s intended for my students and students of other makers to find quickly information on Namkha making.

Many of tutorials are free, some are paid – choose what you need in your situation.

If you buy a course in the Online Namkha making school, paid tutorials from this section will be free for you.

❖ Never made Namkhas before? You should know that:

🔹 Even 1 mistake will make your Namkha ineffective – and you’ll need to start the process again. Be attentive.

☝️ Learning how to make a Namkha is uneasy and requires true dedication. It’s direct working with one’s energy – so many frustrating and stopping your process things appear during the process – in addition to challenges of learning the method.

I didn’t learn how Namkha making it on my own – I completed a training course with a qualified tutor.

However, if you have true dedication and are ready to work a lot – this possibility exists.

❖ How to start?

The 1st step is buying the Namkha book by C.N.Norbu –

it will be your main source to learn the process.

Everything else here is created to visualize explanations given in the book.

Good luck!

Tutorial #2. 4 types of personal Namkha

– Namkha for a year of birth

Tutorial #3. How to calculate a Year Namkha

Right now there’s an an opportunity to get a free calculation for Year Namkhas.

They are less powerful than other types – Hour, Day or Month Namkhas – but it’s recommended to start make Namkhas with them.

How to calculate a Namkha – instructions.

  1. Visit https://namkha.info/
  2. Enter  date of birth – or date of creation of your project/initiative/event
  3. Download the calculation.  The default version is intended only for male persons.❗️If a person is female, flip image horizontally. 
  4. If you get a calculation not for a person, but for a project/initiative/event – it can be tricky to specify its “gender”. In my case all my projects are made for a female version  as they are all created by a woman.

Tutorial #5 - how to choose yarn

Tutorial #6. How to draw seed syllables

Colors for yarn and seed syllables according to the latest edition of the “Namkha” book by C.N.Norbu (p. 2022)

How to draw seed syllables – instructions

Seed syllables can be drawn with color gel pens, color pencils or color gouache. I’ve come through evolution from the first to the last option- and like the gouache the most.

🔸 Painting seed syllables with gouache reconstructs  the old-fashion way in which Bonpos would draw them – using dyes and brushes.

Gel pens are easy to start with, but not sustainable and contribute msod to plastic pollution – I don’t recommend this option – since the Namkha making is a shamanic practice.

🔹 If you’re new to the process, the compromise is using one black gel pen to draw all seed syllables – this option is valid.

❗️Remember that for metal element and water element colors for yarn and seed syllables differ. We draw them in colors we use to visualize elements in 5 elements purification mantra.
