What is a demon?
A demon in this practice is anything that drains your energy and prevents you from being at peace. It can be physical, psychological, emotional, and/or energetic hindrances. Hence demon – here does not refer to something external and evil, but is used as a metaphor to denote our emotional problems, obscurations and sources of inner conflict.

About me
I am a certified facilitator, authorized by Lama Tsultrim Allione, to guide individuals, couples, and groups through the process. I am a mother, teacher, and practitioner in my daily life.
What is the origin of the practice?
The method was developed by Lama Tustrim Allione, a respected Buddist teacher who is recognized as an emanation of 11th-century yogi Machig Labdron. Feeding Your Demons® is a therapeutic as well as a spiritual practice.
It is therapeutic because it integrates Western psychotherapeutic methods (a modified version of an empty chair dialogue from Gestalt Psychology; the principle of shadow from analytical psychology).
It is spiritual because it is imbued with Buddhist philosophy, and its understanding of the Self is rooted in the Heart Sutra (Prajnaparamita). However, you do not need to be a Buddhist to practice and benefit from this method. Through this method, you can work with the aspects of your psyche and life that are troublesome to you, primarily fears, anxieties, psychological blockages, destructive behaviors, and relationships.
