ABOUT
EDIYA

I’m Ediya — a creative and facilitator.

I enjoy creating spaces where we can drop into presence, and the subtle currents of life. I want to show you that self-inquiry can be experienced in the body, in connection with others and the world at large.

HOW I CAME TO THIS PATH

(East Turkestan, my homeland)

My childhood and adolescence were shaped by depression, anxiety, and trauma. At 16, I discovered meditation and began exploring self-inquiry.

In 2020, I experienced Kensho, which completely shifted how I relate to myself and reality. You could say it was the result of earnest practice, but it was just as much grace. Around the same time, I began sharing on my YouTube channel, creating a space for presence and connection for those on a similar path.

Since then, my path has deepened through surrender and non-action. I am learning to meet the mystery with more discernment and subtlety, to let life unfold naturally, and to move intuitively with its currents.

The lens that informs my work

Mythic Animism

I relate to the world as patterned, and alive with meaning. Myths are not just stories; they live within us, and we live within them. As within, so without. With mythic awareness, we can move with the archetypal forces, recognize patterns and participate in the world as extensions of ourselves.

SOMATIC EXPERIENCING

My ongoing training in trauma therapy has refined my sensitivity to the nervous system, and the intuitive intelligence of the body. Healing organically unfolds when we feel safe enough to remain present with what is arising.

RELATIONAL PRESENCE & CIRCLING

Being met, mirrored, and challenged in relationship is where much of self-inquiry becomes embodied and real. Practices such as Circling offer opportunities for the nervous system to heal, and strengthen through connection.

At the core of all of this is non-duality — noticing life as it is, beyond attachment to identity, grounded in embodied experience.

AN INVITATION

If you’re drawn to honest self-inquiry,

if you’re interested in depth rather than quick fixes,

if you sense life speaking to you and desire to listen more deeply,

let’s work together.
