ONE DOES NOT BECOME ENLIGHTENED BY IMAGINING FIGURES OF LIGHT
BUT BY MAKING THE DARKNESS CONSCIOUS.
CAN YOU RELATE?
IN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO OVERCOME PTSD, I DOVE head first INTO NEW AGE SPIRITUALITY.
It could be seen as the starting point of my spiritual journey, although far from my awakening. In the following years, I wrestled with the challenge of instigating change. The more I tried to convince myself I was good enough, the more I felt inadequate. No amount of gratitude journaling sufficed. I think a part of me always knew that merely masking my pain with positivity wasn’t going to cut it—I wasn't addressing the root of my suffering.
My lowest point came following a sexual assault during my university years. This additional trauma forced me to halt my education, leading to months of depression, confined to bed.
Surprisingly, it was around this time life began to give me a break…
WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS
Feeling like I was pushed so far to the edge with nothing left to lose…
I began surrendering to my painful and daunting emotions. I stopped masking my pain. I released the numerous roles I had identified with in life, letting go of friendships and educational aspirations. Many facets of my life started to unravel, and for the first time, I welcomed that deconstruction.
Unbeknownst to me, I had started practicing shadow work.
Fast forward to the present, I am now a loyal advocate for shadow work. Sadly, it's a topic often overlooked in mainstream wellness discussions—perhaps because it lacks glamour and who really wants to confront their inner demons?
Additionally, the limited resources available on shadow work often misinterpret its essence. This practice isn't about taming or getting rid of your shadows.
Shadow work is a heart-centered endeavor that demands abundant compassion, grace, and courage to love the unlovable.
SO WHY SHADOW WORK?
BEcause WHAT WE RESIST PERSISTS, AND POSITIVITY ALONE WON'T LEAD TO HEALING.
As Carl Jung put it, "People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."
He also said, “Good does not become better by being exaggerated, but worse, and a small evil becomes a big one through being disregarded and repressed.”
On the journey to virtue, it is essential to recognize our capacity for the opposite, to avoid falling victim to our own ignorance and fears. Shadow WORK eliminates blind spots, RESTORES Authentic power and EXPANDS our perception of REALITY.
While there's certainly a time and place for "love and light," it can't precede a fair share of shadow work. My goal is to help you recognize the value in transmuting your darkness, so you can reclaim your authentic power and realize your fullest potential without blind spots holding you back.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“ You are really wonderful at this work and so gifted. You are so young to have the depth of wisdom you have… Each offering is synchronistic and each time I am reminded of things that I have abandoned within me…and I am also discovering things that I didn't know how to get to on my own. There is so much heart in this. I am so grateful… You really make it easy to learn. I have been on this path for a long time and taken a year of somatic training, a year of compassionate inquiry with Gabor Mate, a year of applied counselling... years and years of my own personal work... and you are offering the pieces that were missing and it's really helping me to bring it all together. You are a wonderful teacher. I can't imagine having the knowledge/insights you have at your age and being able to embody them. "
- Kelly Gallagher, USA
"What amazed me about this course was the way in which it allowed me to touch depths of myself I had forgotten or turned away from, but working with Ediya I realized that not only were they not forgotten, but they were playing out every day and driving my thoughts and emotions. Working with Ediya, who is genuine, compassionate, and gives you as much as she can, really showed me the true meaning of working on myself. To the earnest seeker, this is absolutely imperative work that I invite everyone who wants to experience who they can be to engage in this kind of work, to look at their shadow because in the shadow dwells the true light, the light that is within."
- Steven, Victoria TX
“I have been on my healing journey for two years now and Ediya showed up in my life as if in divine timing. I had been working with a psychoanalytic therapist for half a year and I had realized that I "lost" my ability to visualize at some point due to compounding trauma that was too much for my body to process at the time. However, working with Ediya as a hypnotherapist has allowed the images in my mind to begin to come back together. I felt so safe being guided by Ediya into my subconscious. "Inner Peace Accelerator" [former version of the program] is absolutely the proper description of this course because the healing that has occurred in the past 6 weeks has reopened so many possibilities in my life. I am so thankful, so eternally grateful for her Light, and I encourage anyone who feels called to work with Ediya to do so without hesitation."

WHAT’S INCLUDED
All modules include an in-depth presentation to learn conceptually and guided practices to integrate the learnings through your own personal experience.
-
In this module, we orient to meta-principles to view the spiritual path in a way that is conducive to healing. Utilizing concepts not as truths but as maps to arrive at experiential truths. We touch on the principle of organicity, polarity, and non-duality.
-
In this module, we get to know the psyche and its various parts, mainly how the shadow self resides within the subconscious mind. I offer insights and practical techniques gathered from my experience as a hypnotherapist, on how to access your subconscious effortlessly. In this, we also explore the dichotomy between logos and mythos, and how to restore mythical thinking in order to enrich our experience of reality.
-
In this module, we explore the many archetypes within the shadow self, why it exists, and how it was formed. We will break down what happens when the shadow is denied, the phenomenon of projection, and the greater collective implications. With this correct understanding, we can come into right relationship with the shadow without the need to fear or reject.
-
In this module, we learn to view the subconscious as the body and be with our somatic experiences to deepen awareness of our inner reality. This involves surrendering the mind and allowing the wisdom of the body/soma to emerge and guide itself toward healing and wholeness.
-
In this module, we learn how our fear of aggression and rage directly correlates to our inability to tap into our full potential. The energy you repress is the power you must learn to wield. Through exploring the work of Peter Levine and his study of trauma in animals, we come to understand the wisdom of triggers, and how to move through fear to successfully release repressed energy and end karmic cycles.

By this point in the course, you will have explored many guided practices with me. In this module, I leave you with a complete breakdown of all the techniques I used to guide you so you can now be confident in guiding yourself with total flexibility.
