Feeding Your Demons 
 

Demons are parts of ourselves we don’t like to see or face or feel. Fear, anger, jealousy, cowardice - to name just a few - are repressed shadow parts we don’t want to consciously deal with. We deny them and throw them into the basement of our being. But no matter how well they are locked up, they always find a way out, often in the most unexpected moments. And because we keep them imprisoned, they show up with a vengeance.

 

“Feeding Your Demons” is a method, a practice, that has its origins in the female lineage of the shamanic side of Tibetan Buddhism. It is an acknowledged tool for trauma work and consciously facing our dark sides. In this practice we invite these shadow parts, the demons, to surface and tell us what they really want and need. In an act of ultimate compassion, we feed them until their destructive energy dissolves. 

 

My personal history with shadow work has stretched over two decades. Apart from all the insights I got, it led me to a life of courage as well as radical self-acceptance and self-love. On the journey of befriending my dark side I came across many tools and practices: Osho’s Dynamic meditation, a powerful workshop called “Path of Love” and most recently Jennifer Miller’s work “Cellular Transformation” have all been part of my process. However, in everyday life, the method of “Feeding Your Demons” has become my first place to go to.

 

I am a certified facilitator for “Feeding Your Demons” in one-to-one sessions, couple sessions as well as in workshops or group settings. If this work speaks to you whether you are dealing with core – beliefs (“I am not lovable”, “I don’t belong”, “I am not seen”), disease or feelings of anxiety, fear, loneliness or relationship problems, I invite you to read up on this practice in my blogs available on this website…or join one of my workshops or just book a one-to-one session.
