Fears, obsessions, addictions are all parts of ourselves that have become “demonic” by being split off, disowned, and battled against. When you try to flee from your demons, they pursue you. By struggling with them, you become weaker and may even succumb to them completely. 

Feeding Your Demons™ is a five-step process created and developed by Lama Tsultrim Allione,  based on the principles of Chöd and adapted for the Western world. 

Feeding our demons rather than fighting them contradicts the conventional approach of fighting against whatever assails us and helps to turn your inner demons into friends.
