Identify and Transform That Which Holds You Back
Connect with Your Shadows Via Feeding Your Demons® (FYD)
What is Feeding Your Demons® (FYD)?
Developed by Tibetan Buddhist teacher Lama Tsultrim Allione, Feeding Your Demons® (FYD) is a profoundly effective method for recognizing and transforming the deep-seated patterns, triggers, and neuroses that undermine the quality and enjoyment of our lives. In an FYD session, you will gain access to a deeper understanding of what drains your energy and preoccupies your mind, and learn how to liberate these patterns.
Why Should I Try FYD?
The FYD process will help you to identify and safely connect with your Shadow selves, nurturing those parts of that have long been suppressed. As you witness the transformation of your demon into a supportive Ally, you will gain direct access to and concrete support from your own inner wisdom.
Clients report better sleep, increased immune function, greater energy, a reduced stress response, and an increased ability to connect with and communicate with others. Research conducted on the benefits of FYD can be located by clicking here.
Why Try FYD with Bodhicitta Somatics?
As a Certified FYD Individual, Couples, and Group Facilitator, I have completed over one year of specialized training, which included four levels of coursework and two retreats, and have conducted hundreds of personal, partner, and group FYD sessions. I have used FYD in my personal meditation practice for almost 20 years, and am deeply acquainted with the healing power of this work.
What Happens in an FYD Session?
You select a physical, mental, or emotional issue with which to work. You will be guided to discover where within your body you most strongly hold that issue, and to give it a physical description and personify it. You will have the opportunity to dialogue with this personification (“demon”), and to discover what it truly needs.
As you offer, or “feed,” this underlying need to your demon, you will witness its transformation into an “Ally.” You will then dialogue with this Ally, and receive your Ally’s insights, energy, and light. The process concludes by releasing into a state of deep rest.
How Do I Prepare for my Individual FYD Session?
We will meet online via Zoom. You will only need an electronic device with a camera, and two seats positioned close together so you may easily move between them as directed.
I will manually record your responses as I guide you through the process; in particular, carefully noting any wisdom and guidance you receive from your Ally. You will receive this report post-appointment, along with suggestions for incorporating your Ally energy into your daily life.

An important note: I am a licensed bodywork therapist, and I serve within my scope of practice. I work with clients who have good support systems and are of generally sound mental health. Feeding Your Demons® (FYD) is not a substitute for psychotherapy.
