Feeding Your Demons

"With exquisite detail . . . shows us how we can transform the energy of addiction, shame, illness, anxiety, fear, and anger into the energy of liberation." ―Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart


Are you wrestling with your demons? Struggling with depression, anxiety, illness, an eating disorder, a difficult relationship, fear, self-hatred, addiction, or anger? Renowned American Buddhist leader Tsultrim Allione explains that the harder we fight our demons, the stronger they become. If we want to liberate ourselves from the fight once and for all, we must learn to nurture our demons.



In Feeding Your Demons, Allione adapts the revolutionary wisdom of Tibet's greatest female spiritual master for the first time, providing a powerful method for coping with our inner enemies. Based on a simple yet effective five-step practice, Feeding Your Demons outlines a strategy for transforming negative emotions and self-defeating patterns. By recognizing your demons, giving them form, and then feeding them, you can free yourself from the battle. And the paradigm shift from fighting to feeding demons can apply not only to your personal challenges but also to the challenges of the world at large. 



Enriched with detailed examples, Feeding Your Demons will give you remarkable new insight into the forces that threaten to defeat you, along with the tools to achieve inner peace.
