Feeding Your Inner Demons with Lama Tsultrim Allione

We all have inner “demons” that we wish we could get rid of such as jealousy, anger, anxiety, addictions, and feelings of not being good enough. What would happen if instead of fighting your demons you asked them what they really need? How can you transform your inner demons into allies? In this out-of-the-box episode, Lama Tulstrim Allione describes the meditation practice of Feeding Your Demons that she adapted 11th-century Tibetan teachings and Dr. Diana Hill bridges the practice with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) processes of being present, acceptance, perspective taking, and self-as-context.

Stay tuned for the bonus episode where Lama Tsultrim Allione will lead you through the full practice!
