Feeding your Demons
Access your inner wisdom and intuition through this powerful practice
When faced with unpleasant or overwhelming emotions, we often push away what we are feeling. But what we resist persists. Our fears, blockages and unhealthy patterns become stronger the more we fight them, and they prevent us from finding emotional balance.
Feeding your Demons (FYD) was adapted by the buddhist teacher Lama Tsultrim Allione from the Tibetan Chöd practice of Machig Labdrön who lived in the 11th century.
It is a profoundly effective 5-step method for recognizing and shifting the deep-seated patterns and triggers that undermine the quality and enjoyment of our lives.
Through body awareness, visualisation and inner dialogue, you give name and emotion to your demon, feed her what she feels she needs, which then satisfies her. Next you meet your ally and learn all the wonderful ways that your wisdom self will help and protect you. You are reminded of your strength, wisdom and power. This is parts work at its best where the practice ends with a knowledge of how to tame your demons and with experiencing a deep sense of relaxation and comfort.

"Through working with Oshikan I now earn money in my business"
Working with Oshikan, I became so clear about why I had been struggling with building my business. I got stuck in limiting thoughts and always believed that I am not good enough to make it and succeed.
Oshikan helped me untangle my confusions and realise that all of this was old stuff, things from childhood I had carried along and now used to stop myself from earning money.
As I continue working with her, my business becomes more and more successful and I feel so much better about it all.

"Her coaching really helped me"
Oshikan is a great coach. She is adept at peeling back the layers to get to the heart of the matter and truly exhibits the core tenants and ethics of coaching and is very natural at it. She is very present, asks wonderfully powerful questions that intuitively come to her as she listens. I get great value from her reflection, feedback, and follow up questions as well as education from the positive psychology resources she provides. Oshikan allows me to delve into whatever is top of mind for me on a weekly basis. This has been a very flexible and worthwhile approach for me to receive ‘just in time’ coaching. I regularly have insights and come to newfound awareness from working with Oshikan. We did a strengths exercise that helped me define and understand my key strengths even better. Her coaching really helped me define and understand my strengths and how to leverage them in ways that are new for me. I have found this to be of particular benefit, a major breakthrough really, for me professionally.

"I feel much more confident now"
Oshikan helped me deal with and heal wounds that have caused me pain for many decades. Some of the wounds were hidden deep down, percolating in the dark and having me repeating the same mistakes over and over again. I never understood why I would go back to doing things that lead to hurt, disappointment, fear, anxiety and worry. I was in a vicious cycle and setting myself up to extinguish the light in me.
This pain built a sturdy crust around my emotions, dreams and hopes that had started to suffocate me. I missed positive feedback, encouragement, unconditional love, understanding and a safe place to spread my wings. I was turning into a grey woman, expecting and accepting disappointment at every turn of my life.
I feel much more confident now on this journey through life. I have learned how to deal with my fears, anxieties, worries, self-hate and lack of confidence. I learn to embrace the bright, loving, beautiful, caring, charming and intelligent woman that I am. Often I am scared and need reinforcement but Oshikan is always there. Her positivism, strength, tools and exercises she has given me have helped to complete my fractured self. It feels good that the cracks in me start to close and slowly become whole again.
Oshikan has given me encouragement, freedom and safety to say what was unsaid, has helped me to have peace of mind, and has provided stepping-stones and exercises to hold on to for dear life.

"Oshikan is a wonderful, compassionate and caring coach."
Oshikan is a wonderful, compassionate and caring coach. Working with her allowed me to accept my situation, myself and move beyond any difficulties I was experiencing. I think I was ‘infected’ by her positive outlook and her acceptance of who I am. She created a space for me to grow and learn more about myself. Using different techniques from positive psychology, I was able to find the part of myself that doesn't change. That's the gift of her coaching!

"I feel more free and happier than I have in years."
I am a classical pianist from Australia. I originally sought Oshikan's help with positive psychology in helping me to decide whether to continue studying in New York, or move back to Australia. Oshikan helped me to make contact with and listen to all of the many thoughts and feelings I had about this decision. One of the most painful feelings I held about my potential move was the strong fear, that even after nearly twelve years of studying, I had still not learned enough. After allowing this fear to be voiced and explored, Oshikan took me through a series of very powerful exercises, which helped me to reframe this limiting and painful perspective. With her help, I came to see other options for my life: other interests, passions and career possibilities. Opening up to these options, has brought me out of my feeling of being imprisoned with only one possible path in life. I feel more free and happier than I have in years. I feel that my life is back in my control, and no longer run by what felt like forces outside of myself.

"I can highly recommend her services"
I have had the pleasure of being coached by Oshikan for four years, through relocation, three job and career changes, a home purchase and a first pregnancy. She has certainly been part of most of the biggest transitions of my life and her guidance and perspective have been very helpful for me to manage these changes and move forward. We coach over the phone, which I was skeptical about at first, but which has worked very well, even across different time zones. We cover a range of subjects from career to adjustment to relationships to life as a lovepat. Oshikan has helped me gain clarity about which direction to move in and she moves me forward through concrete tasks to achieve milestones. I can highly recommend her services for anyone needing guidance through life’s adjustments and transitions.

"She gives you shots of positivity"
Oshikan has the precious gift of listening carefully to your worries and immediately recognizing your inner Bright Soul that you have lost contact to. She helps you make your Inner Beauty transparent to yourself again by chasing away big gray clouds of fear and anxiety. She gives you shots of positivity until you learn to administer to yourself.
