"Feeding Your Demons" is a meditative practice, created by Tsultrim Allione, based on a Tibetan Buddhist practice called Chöd, that involves transforming negative emotions, fears, and self-defeating patterns by befriending and nurturing them rather than fighting them. It involves visualizing and engaging in dialogue with a chosen "demon" (a disowned or shadow part of one’s personality) to understand its needs and transform its energy into a protective ally.
The fundamental idea is that by facing and understanding our "demons" and relating to them with compassion, we can liberate the energy trapped within them and transform them into sources of strength and wisdom. Demons (maras in Sanskrit) are not bloodthirsty ghouls waiting for us in dark corners. They are within us. They are energies we experience every day, such as fear, illness, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and addiction.
Choden will lead people through the various stages of this practice:
· Personifying the demon as an external image
· Engaging in dialogue with it to find out what it needs
· Switching places and becoming the demon so we know what if feels like to be in its skin
· Feeding the demon what it needs
· Engaging with a protective ally
· Resting in awareness.
This session will have a strong experiential focus that will involve meditating on the practice, journalling what we notice and sharing what comes out of it.
