"As a physician who has incorporated mind-body healing approaches into my practice for the past 25+ years, I've seen the gamut of what's being offered out there. I recently had a session with Toshi and must say it was the single most powerful, impactful and transformative session I've ever had in my life. The techniques are deceptively simple but powerful, and quickly lead from inquiry into a full on somatic experience and release of repressed material. What a gift the Kiloby repression inquiries are to the world."

"Toshi is one of the rare trainees that comes into the Kiloby Inquiries and takes a deep dive into the work and gets it.
Not just in experience but also the context, understanding of what we are doing.
Toshi quickly became one of our leading facilitators, not just in KI but in a deeper somatic work in KI, like emotional repression and chronic pain.
I personally have a lot of trust and respect for Toshi’s experiences and what he shares.
I think you can never go wrong if you work with Toshi.
I highly recommend Toshi as a KI facilitator."

"Simply put, Toshi is a naturally great facilitator. His loving spirit, wide-open space-holding, intuitiveness, earnest readiness for deprogramming, and unique understanding of the New Model of Recovery make him one of my few go-tos when I need a deep inquiry session. I highly recommend working with him if you are pulled towards real internal freedom."

"Being facilitated by Toshi feels like being cradled in unconditional love. He masterfully fosters an atmosphere of safety and trust. What makes Toshi outstanding is his depth of experience and intuition. He’s empathetic, patient, and unfailingly holding space when we work together. He possesses a keen sense of the right inquiry to use, and he skillfully adapts in real time based my responses. Working with Toshi has allowed me to see and process painfully repressed emotions in my body. Some for the first time in my life. My day-to-day experience in life gets lighter as a result. I’m grateful to benefit from Toshi having done his own work, and generously lending his skills to helping me progress in my healing. I’m confident that anyone who needs an incredibly clear and somatically intelligence facilitator will simply be floored by how much they can get out of KI by working with Toshi."

"I am a relative newcomer to the Kiloby Inquiries, and Toshi has skillfully facilitated me on several occasions. Because of childhood bullying, I usually have difficulty being emotionally open and vulnerable with men. Toshi facilitated my inquiry with quiet, gentle Presence, unconditional Openness, and skillful guidance. He immediately made me feel supported and safe to share deep, vulnerable parts of myself. I look forward to working more with Toshi and highly recommend him to others."

"I am so grateful for the sessions Toshi has facilitated for me. I felt Safe in the space he held and I felt comfortable and seen. When very vulnerable things would appear, Toshi guided with gentleness and ease and calm.
His intuitive flow with the tools work very well with my system, and with his guidance I was able to release deeper emotions that needed to be felt and watch from awareness as things unfolded.
The last session I looked at the belief ”it’s my fault”, and this has been a reoccurring belief in my experience. With Toshi’s guidance I was able to connect to the very early memories where I picked up the belief and see that it was not my fault, and now I do not need to believe that anymore.
I was able to be present as the sensations and the confusion, and fear that was stored in my body moved through. And I saw that I had held that belief to stay safe, which created a big wave of compassion for myself.
It was very a moving experience that allowed for me to reconnect to a vulnerable part of me as a child, and release the burden I had carried for a long time.

Thank you for your presence and guidance Toshi."

Hello, my name is Toshi Matsunaga.

Since the discovery of KI, my love for this work has been growing nonstop! At the moment there is nothing that gives me more pleasure and joy than facilitating a session. There is so much beauty in discovering what lies beyond our darkest stories and repressed emotions. When they are returned to Awareness we come home!

I have experience working with: emotional repression, addiction, chronic pain, physical abuse, racial abuse, sexual abuse, sexual repression, depression, PTSD, cPTSD, birth trauma, spiritual seeking, past life trauma.

I have been doing the repression work on anger, shame, and fear on myself. As the repressions started to lift, I have started to experience major changes in the way I interact, perceive and experience life, in a way I never knew possible under repression. And my relationship with people around me has changed dramatically, especially with my family members. By doing emotional repression work, I also found that my frequent stomach pain and mouth ulcers were connected to and caused by the repression of emotions. After 6 months of doing the work, the pain and strong contraction are now almost gone (only occasional contraction). The mouth ulcer hasn’t come back in a very long time.

I never knew I could trust and love my body as much as I do now. The body remembered everything for me even though I was busy trying to forget and run away from certain emotions, contractions, and pains. My darkest secrets, scariest memories, deepest anger, loneliest moments… I’m learning to now see that the contraction/pain are like gifts that my body saved for me, rediscovering again on this mysterious journey called life. And they are like gifts because seeing them for what they really are, it brings me back to who I really am.

I was born and raised in Osaka, Japan. At the age of 11, I was sent to England to go to a free school called Summerhill founded by A.S. Neill. The school gave me time to really explore and learn how to be with myself. I have learned what freedom means and also to live freely comes with great responsibilities at a young age. Since then I have been living in the UK up until the present moment.

Throughout my life, I was always curious to find out who or what we really are as human beings. So, my search for truth started with a few spiritual books and then moved on to sitting with many great teachers. I have tried many different practices (Non-duality, Advaita, ACIM, Vipassana, Mindfulness, Zen, etc.) and sat with many teachers (Adyashanti, Rupert Spira, Aisha Salem, Jeff Foster, Mooji Ayuka Mizoguchi, etc.) After a series of awakening experiences and somatic embodiment work, I have started to live from and abide in my true nature/awareness/presence more and more.

However, somedays I will sit and be with a contraction/pain in my body for hours or days sometimes, and when it did eventually fall away (or not), there was a feeling of inefficiency and there was a sense that something was not quite right and that I’m missing something completely regarding the way I was experiencing bodily sensations. That’s when I started to watch Scott’s videos on KI and I started to inquire into the body. This changed everything, I could clearly see how I was blinded by just abiding in awareness even if I was being with sensations, I was not inquiring into them so the thoughts that were trapped in them could not be seen. Especially the repressed emotions, I was completely blind to them from the non-dual awareness. Also, I began to see and catch that abiding in awareness and letting “everything be as it is” was somehow helping the repressed emotions be repressed further. And that the repressed contractions/pain do not come up by themselves to be seen in awareness because the idea of letting “everything be as it is” kept them hidden below the surface.

I join the KI facilitator training program which really gave me the time to dive in and uncover my repressed anger and shame. And also discovered my spiritual bypass that was happening throughout my seeking life. Especially after the so-called spiritual liberation, where it was really easy for me to be stuck and hide in the awareness as an identity.

Note: Caitlin’s immediate availability is very limited. You may have to wait up to 4 weeks to find a session time compatible with your own scheduling needs.

"Caitlin Pell is a true gift, a very rare gift, in the Kilby Inquiries. Not only is she a super skilled facilitator who specializes in understanding and working with trauma and emotional repression, but she really is a teacher in her own right. The way that she answers questions from the audience or from anyone, makes you feel as if you're sitting with someone, a teacher, who's been realized for many years. That's just how skilled she is. You're not going to go wrong with Caitlin Pell. In fact, if I were to choose among all the female teachers in the world to go to, if I were going to go to a female teacher, Caitlin Pell is the one I would choose first."

As your facilitator, my intention is to gently guide you towards your own innate wisdom and fully support you as your transformation unfolds. I prefer to take a direct, experiential approach, meeting each client where they are at and honoring their individual needs.

I find presence/awareness based practices to be essential in supporting the process of deprogramming from years of limiting conditioning and the healing of trauma. I am honored to guide you in uprooting the source of emotional & psychological suffering and rediscovering your original freedom, authenticity, and joy of Being.

I can help to address a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, addiction, parenting needs, family conflict, relational problems, divorce, grief/loss, and trauma. I am inspired by and draw from the following modalities: Kiloby Inquiries, Hakomi, Family Systems, Attachment Theory, CBT, EFT, Mindfulness-based Somatic Psychotherapy, and a variety of Eastern philosophical traditions.

It is a profound joy to support others on their path towards freedom from suffering and awakening to a more meaningful, authentic, and happy life.

"There truly are not enough words to express my gratitude towards Darby.
I had three sessions with her in the spring of 2022, in which she used the Kiloby inquiries to address issues related to a chronic depression stemming from childhood trauma and an abusive marriage.

She is a skilled and caring facilitator, warm and intelligent, perceptive and intuitive, and we were able to make significant progress in just a few sessions.

I am a licensed mental health professional myself and can say without any reservation, that I would gladly refer any of my patients to her, if they are open to this type of introspection and inquiry. Darby is a natural healer and I highly recommend her to anyone ready to let go of some self limiting beliefs and patterns in their life."

"I got to know Darby as a beautiful, open minded and very honest person. I immediately felt safe sharing my fears and emotions with her. She made me feel at ease, took time for me and had her full attention for my story. Her way of working is great! My sessions with her really helped me to heal some things that were stuck inside me. Thank you soo much dear Darby! 🙏🏼😘"

"🤍 It feels impossible to describe to what extent Darby has helped me on my awakening journey.

She has helped me to be present with what is, and guided me through trauma work, inner child work & shadow work.

And the past year or so, through KI sessions, she has supported me in reconnecting to my true self and to become more present in awareness.

Her natural ability to hold space in love and grace, makes the modalities she uses very effective, and her ability to tune into my personal needs creates a safe space for me to surrender to what shows up.

It’s such a gift to be able to show up as I am, no guard, knowing that she won’t judge me or try to fix me.

In her presence I have been able to soften and find the courage to face many traumas, core beliefs, and things that I’ve fought against and was identified with for so long - Shame, guilt, fear, unworthiness, doubt, anger and deep grief to name some.

This journey has been incredible. A very Challenging and so rewarding process.

I feel more aware of who I truly am and the sensations I experience have much less power over me, I can become aware of what is present and take action or just watch from awareness.

I am (more than I ever thought possible) able to hold space for myself and my emotions, and when I feel challenged I am able to ask for support. I have tough days and periods of time that are very challenging, but I am much more loving towards myself when this arises and much more compassionate toward myself and my experience.

I am no longer self medicating and my coping mechanisms are much less present, even less so as I continue to do this work.

These are huge steps for me and I thank Darby for supporting me, enabling me to look within and believing in me to get to where I am today.

I highly, with all of my heart, recommend Darby as a facilitator. "

"What have KI sessions with Darby given me?
The ability to make friends with the parts of me that I'd closed away and shunned.
The ability to say 'no' more often without the old accompanying feelings of shame, embarrassment or guilt.
The ability to access real rage in a way that feels safe.
The confidence to shine my light as brightly as possible and the (self) permission to keep it dimmed if that's what the situation (and/or my energy levels) call for.
A greater sense of ease with the ebb and flow of life.
I would highly recommend Darby. My life continues to be transformed by the KI sessions we have."

"My sessions with Darby have been life changing. We have been working on deep issues which, despite 20 years of psychological assistance, dedicated inner work and training, I had been unable to reach within myself. Darby holds a deep, compassionate space and is highly skilled and perceptive. In the security of this, those hidden memories and issues have been able to come to the fore. Darby has taught me how to work with them with IRF and other KI skills. For the first time in my life, I now feel confident that I can fully meet anything that arises for me in life. This is extraordinary - and it brings confidence and joy and a new excitement about life."

Darby is a certified KI facilitator and trainer as well as a plant medicine ceremony guide, with a background in magnetic healing and integrative attunement. After a long, wild and exhausting journey to healing childhood trauma, she came to KI because its effectiveness for deep, lasting relief and inner peace was outshining all the other healing modalities she had experienced.

She loves sharing what these simple tools can do to change a life, and she’s devoted to helping the ones who are ready.

"THANK YOU for all these years of working one-on-one with me. Thank you for your ability and willingness to “hold the neutral space” that I feel the inquiries require that allows ME to do my work without having to worry about what you are thinking. I can actually feel your relaxed acceptance of all and everything. What a relief. Thank you for your amazing ability to be still, centered and fully attentive to what I am saying. Thank you for graciously keeping me “on topic” when fear makes me want to wander off. As I watch you do your own work, you show me the deeper possibilities the inquiries hold. In short, many thanks for many things."

"It’s no coincidence, today’s inquiry with you brought such a sense of calm and peace. While coming in somewhat over focused on the “need to make the right (business) decision”, your commitment to the Living Inquiries protocol, released the associated anxiety and struggle in such a natural way, replacing ineffective “pros and cons” agony, fear of regret and fear of making the wrong decision with clarity. What an experience it was to watch fears, struggle and compulsions just melt away. LI and KI sessions with you provide not only instant relief but also lasting shift in how I literally “view” the world, without particular attachment to concepts and thoughts, feelings and body sensations or charged images. I appreciate your consistency of not providing advice, and allowing the process simply unfold with such impactful results. I value the variety of life and professional experiences you bring to the table. This includes but is not limited to your experience with The Work as well as a variety of healing approaches. I know all of these contribute to the unique experience you provide your clients with. Thank you! With much gratitude."

"After a 10 month struggle with debilitating clinical depression I was truly blessed to have been introduced to inquiries by Lava. Lava in her direct, no-nonsense yet gentle, perceptive manner thoughtfully and respectfully helped us each and as a group delve into the process; a process which may, as recent brain research suggests, help rearrange our brains so as to diminish the impact of our non-productive thoughts as well as reduce the virulence of both mood and mental disorders. Lava created a relaxed, sharing and optimistic environment, often using herself and her personal “inquiries” as a tool that allowed each in the group to be open, warm, respectful and patient with ourselves and the group. With her help and guidance, I am learning to incorporate “The Work” into a useful whole. The inquiries and Lava have provided me with the gift of a most valuable “life” tool."

"Durch diesen Kurs habe ich gelernt, mich und andere besser zu verstehen. Durch diesen Kurs kann ich mir und anderen liebevoll begegnen. Durch diesen Kurs kann ich mir selbst und anderen vergeben."

"Ich hätte nicht erwartet, dass in verhältnismässig kurzer Zeit ein so tiefer und liebevoller Zugang zu “grossen” Themen meines Lebens gelingt. Zu jeder Zeit fühlte ich mich sicher und liebevoll begleitet, ohne dass mir “meine Arbeit” abgenommen wurde. Herzlichen Dank dafür, Lava!"

Lava’s deep skills and attention gave me a feeling of complete safety. Her determination, earnestness, and enthusiasm for her own emotional repression, behavioral mechanism, and unconscious programming are the basis of her facilitation. Thus, in her presence and guidance, I was able to surrender myself completely to the process and let myself go to the root of my repression and the most difficult traumas. I could open and heal by looking at the subconscious programming.

I wholeheartedly and confidently recommend Lava to anyone for working with emotional repression!

I am a Certified Facilitator for the Kiloby Inquiries, the Living Inquiries, a trainer for The Work of Byron Katie, and the founder of Inquiry with Lava where I offer one-on-one sessions, individual retreats, intensives, and training. I facilitate in English and German. Custom times
for sessions are available.

I bring my genuine curiosity, love of adventure, and earthiness into my facilitation. These inquiries are the basis for my practice of facilitation including the expressive arts, bodywork, and nature. In addition, my background includes shamanic work, body/mind integrative therapy, subtle energy work, and the Life/Art Process.

Through the Inquiries, I experience less resistance and avoidance to feel emotions and rest in presence without repression. My compulsive behavior to be perfect and efficient turns into expressing my love and being vulnerable.

Inquiry is a way of life for me: my identities, my hurt and frustration, trauma responses, and repressed emotions –, nothing escapes my inquiry. I enjoy an authentic human life with everything that arises, the joys and sorrows, welcoming all; no exceptions, so that I can offer you an integrated and well-practiced set of life skills that are always evolving and deepening.

Bring your desperate needs, your ongoing urges, your compulsive wantings, your irresistible commands and demanding drives, your injunctions, your musts and have to’s, not to mention all those don’ts and can’ts, and no, no, No! – never again…… and if you want to find yourself, lose yourself, relax compulsions, ease anxieties, look at trauma and repression, and are ready and curious: I would love to facilitate you.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Ich bin zertifizierte Begleiterin für die Kiloby Inquiries, die Living Inquiries, Trainerin für The Work of Byron Katie und Gründerin von Inquiry with Lava. Individuelle Zeiten für Sessions
sind möglich.

Was biete ich dir an?

Einzelsitzungen, Individuelle Retreats, Intensivkurse, Trainings – auf Deutsch und Englisch.

Die Basis meiner Arbeit sind aufrichtige Neugierde, Erforschungsdrang und Bodenständigkeit, die auch den kreativen Ausdruck, Körperarbeit und die Natur mit einschließt. Darüber hinaus umfasst mein Hintergrund schamanische Arbeit, Body/Mind Integrative Therapie, Energiearbeit und den Life/Art-Prozess.

Wohin geht die Reise?

Meine Verletzungen und Frustrationen, Identitäten, Traumata, unterdrückte Emotionen – nichts entkommt den Inquiries (auf Deutsch etwa: Befragung, Untersuchung).

Durch sie erlebe ich weniger Widerstand und Vermeidungsstrategien gegenüber meinen Gefühlen. Es passiert, einfach present zu sein ohne Un-annehmlich-keiten zu unterdrücken. Meine Rebellinnen Identität, mein zwanghaftes Verhalten, perfekt und effizient zu sein, verwandeln und verlieren sich.

Ich drücke meine Liebe und Verletzlichkeit aus. Ich genieße ein authentisches Leben mit allem, was auftaucht, mit den Freuden und Sorgen – ich heiße ALLES willkommen, ohne Ausnahme.

So biete ich lebenspraktische Fertigkeiten ein, die sich ständig weiterentwickeln und vertiefen.

Was brauchst du dazu?

Bring zur Session deine tiefsten Bedürfnisse mit, dein immer wiederkehrendes Verlangen, deine zwanghaften Wünsche, deine unwiderstehlichen Befehle, deinen fordernden Druck, dein ewiges Klagen und alles, was du sollst und musst – und nicht zu vergessen, was du nicht sollst und nicht kannst – und dein „Nein, nein, NEIN – nie wieder …“

Und wenn du dich finden oder verlieren, deine Zwänge loslassen und deine Ängste befreien willst, deine Traumata und unterdrückten Gefühle ansehen willst und bereit und neugierig bist auf dich:

Ich habe Lust, dich dabei zu begleiten.

"I see now that my purpose in life is to learn how to live from that place of stillness. Every thought, idea, etc. that comes from there is the most real. When you transport me into a moment of stillness my breathing changes, the pattern of thoughts changes as well. My body feels light, and this is the time when I don't feel separation. I deeply thank you for the gifts you are giving to the people, your energy is helping me to transcend."

"Co-hosting the Mystical Birth workshops with Alina had been a wonderful experience. I had a lot to learn from her wisdom and the impact on the attendants was nothing but extraordinary. Alina is a self-accomplished human being, with a lot to offer. If you have the chance to work with her or to be in her presence, don't miss the opportunity. She is the real deal!"

"Meditating with Alina is always a pleasure! I have been to many meditation circles, but this one is special. I find myself diving deep into the inner peace and bliss of pure consciousness. The discourse and discussion afterward are always informative and thought-provoking. One feels that they can be themselves and express whatever they are going through, ever since I discovered it, I have attended every session."

"Alina has an obvious gift to channel and speak truth, from truth, as truth. She is a light in this world, and her desire to spark the light in others is palpable and a joy to experience. Thank you!"

"I like your voice when you guide the meditation; it makes it so easy to follow. It’s like the truth is revealing through your body. I felt a lot of space in myself and consciousness around during the meditation… feeling peaceful."

Alina is a certified KI facilitator & a founder of Presence Alchemy – An advance mindfulness platform dedicated to liberating suffering & limiting core beliefs through Kiloby Inquiries & non-dual awareness. Presence Alchemy was born eight years into Alina’s embodiment journey of an inner shift from ego to wakefulness. Alina works one-on-one with clients, hosts online intensives and training, and organizes local retreats & workshops.

Mihai Algiu – born in Eastern Europe, Romania, during the communist totalitarian regime. Mihai started being interested in spirituality, truth, mind and consciousness since a teenager. He spent over 25 years studying various Eastern teachings such as the Fourth Way, (the Gurdjieff ~Oupsensky system), Qi Qong, Zen, Vipassana, Non-Duality, Advaita Vedanta, the Direct path. Among the many influences that shaped his understanding of spirituality as well as his therapeutical orientation are: Gurdjieff-Ouspensky, The Fourth Way, David Hawkins, Thich Nhat Hanh, Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, Isaac Shapiro etc.

In 2015 Mihai met his current teachers, Francis Lucille and Laura Lucille which became a turning point towards deepening into the the study and application of the Non-Dual Direct Path. About the same time, Mihai became deeply interested somatic awareness based psychotherapy, (Hakomi), as well as being active in Mankind Project as a senior facilitator facilitating Shadow Work groups in the Sierra Foothills, California as well as part of the Inside Circle Foundation, leading Shadow Work groups inside Folsom prison, California. Another crossroad represented the encounter with Scott Kiloby and the Kiloby Inquiries which continued to integrate the ‘enlightenment non-dual teachings’ with the somatic core deconstruction of suffering and trauma.

He is currently working as a psychotherapist, working with individuals, couples, groups in 1:1 setting as well as weekly Circle of Being Shadow Work groups, intensives and retreats. He has been living in the Sierra foothills , California for the last 15 years where he enjoys nature, hot springs, archery and music.

I view psychotherapy as a useful tool and support towards our innate pursuit of happiness, contentment and harmony. Whether recovering from years of addiction, healing from the aftermath of past wounds, navigating difficult relationship dynamics, dealing with trauma, loss, transition, uncovering old programmed limiting beliefs…..our innate authentic self/spirit strives towards wholeness and being in harmony with all things. My approach is experiential, effective and practical -influenced by Hakomi ~Mindfulness based Somatic Psychotherapy, Shadow Work, Gestalt, Psychodrama, Attachment Theory, psychedelic work, as well as a variety of Eastern spiritual teachings (Advaita, 4th Way). I have extensive experience working with men, women and youth in crisis, as well as incarcerated men. I have a client-centered approach guiding the client back to their own innate inner wisdom, strengths and authentic self. I consider awareness, self-inquiry and Kiloby Inquiries as essential ingredients in the process of healing, freedom from unnecessary suffering, and being happy celebrating the miracle of life.

"Alec is highly skilled at facilitating the inquiries. He has a keen intuitive sense of what needs to happen in a session and how to gently and safely guide you to your inner sanctum where your hurt resides. He remains your constant companion throughout, and has an open curiosity that leaves you feeling safe to explore and free yourself from your thoughts and beliefs that hold you back from living a fulfilling, empowered life. I highly recommend Alec!"

"I've really enjoyed my sessions with Alec. He's helped me find and unearth very deeply rooted beliefs and creatively guided me through the unhooking process. His sweet nature and clear presence create a very safe place to be me and to allow whatever surfaces during the session without shame or embarrassment. We also have a lot of unexpected fun from time to time with what arises. I'm happy to recommend him. 🙂"

"I would like to express my gratitude and love to Alec for the inquiry sessions he so kindly offered. Not only is Alec kind and compassionate, he has the skills and presence to be of real assistance. He helped me break through the stressful feelings, thoughts, and body sensations that I have been experiencing during this difficult time of home sheltering and isolation. He has a very generous heart and I’m so grateful to work with him."

"I was going through difficulties in my relationship. Getting a moment to sit with Alec made a big difference both in terms of how I felt and how authentically I was able to be with my partner. Having a moment to be with a facilitator who accepts you and all your emotions without a hint of judgment is precious. When you sit with Alec, this unconditional acceptance is palpable. This makes him a very good facilitator and I warmly recommend trying a session with him."

Alec Rodrigues has been certified to facilitate inquiry since 2015 and brings a keen sense of intuition to his work. He believes that in connection, the deepest healing takes place, that the mirror of relationship is the best crucible for transformation. Through rest and inquiry, Alec has found the empowerment to meet others authentically and stop running so damn fast from the seeming “ordinariness” of life.

He currently lives in Washington state with his girlfriend and works as a training assistant for the KI Personal Mentorship Program, where he empowers enrollees by teaching them the KI tools.

"When you are ready to move forward in life, all of the universe conspires to assist you. I believe the time was exactly right to meet Taz as part of my healing journey. We initially connected through an energy device that we both had and then I discovered that I knew her mother in law from breath work training. I knew from her various uplifting posts on social media that she would be part of my healing journey. We did an initial consultation (even if I did get the day incorrect), and she was very accommodating and compassionate to me and I knew that I wanted to work with her emotion code and Killoby inquiries work. Taz is a very direct, no nonsense practitioner who holds a very open space for the deep and effective work that she does. We worked together to free some energy from my body and my emotional body too. The work went surprisingly deep and only just one day after the work, I already do feel better in my body and I have a renewed energy in my spirit as well. I would highly recommend Taz as your solid guide to healing."

"I really enjoyed the session, Taz. You're really good at it!!! I am used to going to sensation (you probably noticed), and you did a great job bringing me back to the process we were doing, looking at the image or the word, and surrounding it, instead of staying at sensation. Quite new for me. I loved how surprised I was at some of the images and words and feelings that came up. Not at all what I would have "thought" would come up. A couple of times it was actually opposite to the 'story' I've been telling myself about some of those memories. Haha! Yay!!! This is the first time I've done something new where I felt the begining of actual and deep change. It's like some stuff I've kept locked away (not even realizing I was holding it tucked away) was suddenly okay with peeking out and gently releasing. Pretty cool!"

"Taz, thank you so much for a profound and liberating experience during this session. I felt respected, cared for and supported. You have the ability to hold a safe space to look at our "hot spots" from our awareness instead of judgment and you invited me to feel the emotions that were arising from the inquiry. Beautiful session. Highly recommended!!"

"I was very glad that Taz and I crossed paths. In my sessions I was able to make amazing breakthroughs as regards unleashing and giving a voice to parts of myself which had been frozen for many years.

A great part of my problem was my inability to express repressed feelings like rage, and when these started to come forward in our sessions I felt very self-conscious. But Taz held an unconditional space for me, and all I was met with was her loving, nonjudgemental presence. This allowed me to relax into the process, and let more and more flow out, which was very healing.

As a gay man I was particularly grateful to be able to work with her, because I have recently unearthed massive resistance to expressing parts of my personality in public. This is connected to shame and unworthiness. But again, under Taz' gentle guidance I was able to start loving and honouring those parts of myself, which have been screaming to be seen and honoured for decades. I felt safe to do this with her as she totally understood where I was coming from."

During an “aha” moment on Christmas Eve I decided to change my life and go to AA on my own. I did the work to forgive myself and others and then decided to do more inner/spiritual work beyond AA since that time. I have attended many healing workshops led by Dr. Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, Michael Beckwith, Rhys Thomas, Dain Heer, Scott Kiloby, Matt Kahn and many others. This has been foundational for my own healing. I have learned many healing modalities the past 21 years and love to support others on their journey.

I want to live in a world where people know that they’re amazing and aren’t afraid of being their authentic self. 🤩🌈

This is actually why I became a Freedom Facilitator. Because I LOVE helping my clients become aware of their triggers, trauma, repressed emotions and beliefs which helps them release old patterns to feel more joyful, peaceful, vibrant and whole. This is being authentic.

"I'm so thankful for your help! I look forward to this journey I'm on, and I can feel a sense of hope that I haven't felt in a long time."

"I feel so much more connected. It's like my brain has re-wired itself. This has been a profound experience and I'm ready to unpack it!"

"This has been an important experience for me and I feel so much more connected. I have more confidence and courage moving forward in my life!"

"My partner has noticed a difference in me and it has deepened our relationship! I am so grateful for the work we have done together!"

June developed and manages the KI Personal Mentorship Program with optional Certified Facilitator Training for Scott Kiloby and Dan McLintock (the founders of the Kiloby Inquiries).

Having worked with thousands of people individually as well as leading dozens of transformative weekend retreats, I feel confident about holding space for whatever is a rising and helping with clarity and moving forward.

My initial core traumas took place in my teen and young adult years and these events happened mostly due to my naivete having been sheltered growing up. Innocence was lost and replaced by strong defense mechanisms. These types of defense mechanisms can be dismantled using certain practices and when approached with curiosity and courage.

As we practice this work with readiness, we notice impulses as soon as they arise and although we remember how compelling these stories, beliefs, impulses, and reactions once were, we eventually find them uninteresting and tedious. Unable to allure us, we remain in a stable and ceaseless awakened state.

Having spent some time in India in the early ’90s studying under a guru and a few erudite spiritual teachers for many years, I would devote 20 hours per week to spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, chanting, service work, yoga practices, fasting, rituals, philosophical studies, devotional practices, etc. until there came a point where I realized “Everything I do is a spiritual practice.” Continuing to grow and learn psychologically and spiritually, I enjoyed running a successful interior design business until retiring in 2018.

My gaze is now gently focused on the spaciousness from which all things arise, and my passion is to assist others in removing the veils and revealing this connection to pure awareness that is ever present for all.

Even when we have a clear vision of where we are trying to go, there can be all types of obstacles that prevent us from moving forward. These can be conscious and unconscious and often show up as patterns of behavior that we can’t seem to manage. I can help you get to the root of things and gently remove these obstacles so that you can choose the type of life you really want.

"We recently hired Tim as a back-up facilitator at The Kiloby Center for Recovery to fill in when our regular facilitators aren’t available. In the short amount of time that Tim has worked here, he has proved himself to be a valuable asset to our team. The clients he’s worked with have expressed deep satisfaction and trust in working with him. One even spoke of the heart-opening that she experienced though his gentle, thorough guidance. We are happy that Tim has decided to work with our clients, and hope to continue a long and fruitful relationship. He has good instincts and solid facilitation skills. You can’t go wrong in working with him."

"Using the Kiloby Inquiries with me over the past 4 months, Tim has really helped me to begin the process of sorting through trauma that’s occurred throughout my life, helping me to notice how it effects me both physically and emotionally. What I’ve really been amazed with is how much I try to escape internally from feeling the feelings that are brought up due to my trauma. Through working with Tim I’ve been able to recognize that it is not as scary as I initially thought, and with him I have felt safe in not only feeling but also in expressing those difficult feelings to him. I have used drugs for 22 years, and I always run and/or hide from my feelings. In the past, I would rather ignore them and live in denial. Tim has helped me accept that they are going to come up no matter what and it is better to process them. By using the Kiloby Inquiries, I have been guided through this process, and when I get overwhelmed or anxious and need to go to a safe place, Tim helps to guide me through those especially difficult times in a way that feels safe and reassures me that it’s going to be ok, allowing me to be ok with continuing our work."

Tim initially became a student of inquiry in 2001 via the Diamond Approach, shortly thereafter becoming a direct student of A. H. Almaas (Hameed Ali) and Karen Johnson for 12 years. He has continued to practice inquiry while more recently also studying Non-Duality with Francis Lucille, Adyashanti and John Prendergast; Tibetan Buddhism; Shamanism and other Earth-based practices, including various plant medicines. Having also now discovered the Kiloby Inquiries, he loves their simplicity and directness as well as their usefulness for anyone interested in knowing themselves at a deeper level. He is excited to facilitate inquiry with others now who wish to get relief from pain, depression or anxiety, prepare for or integrate psychedelic or vision fast revelations or simply step closer into their larger being and become more whole and free.

“Angela has proven to be invaluable as a support facilitator in my training courses. I know that when she tells me someone is ready for certification, they are ready. She is an outstanding coach in helping trainees learn and practice the KI skills, spotting areas that need fine-tuning, and providing feedback in an encouraging and helpful manner. Angela’s ability to help others comes from her experience of delving deeply into her own stories through inquiry. It really can’t happen any other way. I’m thrilled to be doing more programs with Angela”.

“I have been working with Angela regularly for 3 years and I am constantly amazed by her powerful, yet gentle, presence. It is a presence that guides you towards the difficult inner territory that we all need to deal with but often don’t see. Once in that space – instead of feeling sad, helpless, or confused – her presence holds you, embraces you, and encourages you. It is relaxed, allowing you to discover what needs to be seen on your own, without pressure, yet it is always felt, helping you to feel safe and strong enough to face your fears and begin healing the parts of yourself that need it. As a facilitator myself, Angela has always gone out of her way to help me grow and to teach me skills or tools that she has learned – without which I do not believe I’d be half the facilitator I am today. Whether it’s as a teacher, or leading her (incredible, and meticulously planned) workshops, or as a facilitator, I always recommend Angela. Not just as someone who will change your life but as someone who’s heart, presence and skill can create a foundation that allows you to continually grow and change your own life in exactly the way you need”.

“I’ve had several inquiry sessions with Angela and have always walked away from them with a profound sense of gratitude for the insight’s I’ve discovered. Her guidance is gentle, compassionate, clear, and lucid. Often a session with Angela would yield surprising results that helped me uncover deeper issues that were previously hidden to me or not fully understood. The more I worked with her the more I felt more at ease with my own self-inquiry. I cannot recommend Angela’s facilitation enough!”

“Since becoming a KI facilitator I have received nothing but great reviews from her clients. Angela’s energy is warm, welcoming and peaceful. She is a superb listener and intuitively knows how to use KI to help with whatever issues a client presents. To be facilitated by Angela is to be held in love and space while also being led into dropping long-held stories and beliefs that have kept you suffering for years. She is a pleasant soul, easy to talk to, never judgmental and always on top of her game. We are so happy to have her among her ranks”.

“I really appreciate the way Angela presents the Nervous System Regulation Course. She provides all of the information in an organized manner and then she introduces and models the practices so the participants can get in touch with how the practices are experienced personally. I have used the basics of what I learned with my clients by explaining some of the theory as well as having them practice and observe the results in real time during sessions. I highly suggest this course to anyone as it can help you as a participant and give you enough confidence to share this with your clients so they can be benefited as well”.

“To all of my trainees, I highly recommend that you take this course with Angela. While I cover some of it in my training, this is a deeper dive into the nervous system and self regulation skills. You won't be disappointed. It can help you with your own nervous system regulation, and help you be better prepared for working with highly dis-regulated clients”.

“I really enjoyed your course and surprised myself by how interested I am in the science of the nervous system. You are a fantastic teacher, and I gained a great deal of clarity around the whole topic. Thank you”.

Angela shares how she came to Kiloby Inquiries:

“After many years struggling with my “dark night of the soul” – addiction, depression and trauma – I have come through like a phoenix rising from the ashes, oriented in my heart, connected with a deep guiding source that wants to dance with life and collaborate with others.

I remember with gratitude the first time I heard Scott talk about healing the underlying drivers of addiction, depression and suffering. I knew that was what I needed to focus on.

I began working with his methodology and it has been profoundly transforming for me. I took the training to deepen my own inner work and now I bring this work to others. With it we can see through our negative core beliefs and let the pain and trauma that is held in the body finally unravel and flow through. It is an amazing methodology for healing these deeper roots without adding any outside belief system.

I love sharing this work with others. In a facilitated Kiloby Inquiry session, I gently guide the client to inquire into the causes of their suffering. I follow their process and pace in non-judging, compassionate awareness.

With Kiloby Inquiries, the causes of pain and suffering often dissolve, revealing the peace, love and intelligence that is deeper than thoughts or beliefs.”

In addition to Kiloby Inquiries, Angela offers a mini course on Nervous System Resilience as well as one-on-one nervous system regulation coaching to enhance KI work and all areas of life.

"In spite of the fact that Julie’s introductory explanations seemed quite promising, I did not expect the session to be that mind-blowing. It was absolutely amazing how Julie managed to hold space for me and guide me softly into knowing that I had always subconsciously forbidden myself to be joyful. I have no idea how it happened. Julie’s presence felt so subtle and natural that I felt guided without a guide and managed to open the door letting all that endless joy in. I feel absolutely free to experience, express and share my joy. Thank you, Julie!"

"Julie is very gentle and yet direct. While we were working together, I felt a peaceful quietness and spaciousness. She guided me to give space to anything arising which I still practise today."

Greeting from Montreal, Canada. (French below)

Hello, my name is Julie, I am comfortable working with anyone that has awakened to their true nature and is amid integration. Because I went through it myself, I feel stable and able to support others in that process that is far from comfortable sometimes but so rewarding when done from a place of willingness and authentic self-honesty.

I also feel comfortable and enthusiastic to be working with anyone who feels called to authentically meet themselves, this is as much awakening, whether gradual or sudden, awakening is that anyway, authentically meeting everything moment by moment.

I can work in English and French. French is my native language, but I am fully bilingual and I am used to working in English.

I hope to meet you and be of service to you.

If you are curious, more about my personal story is below.

At the beginning of 2021, I had a sudden non-dual realisation. I knew nothing about awakening and non-duality then. I was not involved in any search or acquisition of knowledge about spirituality and non-duality, and this realisation was very destabilising. It felt as if I was turned inside out, the deeper layers of emotional suffering were so close to the surface that there was no possibility to put a lid on any of them anymore.

In the summer of 2022, after having processed deep emotional suffering by myself, I came to Kiloby Inquiries to become a facilitator but soon discovered that the Kiloby Inquiries were first helpful for my own integration. Even though there was a sense of stabilisation in being and more and more joy, stillness and silence, I soon discovered that emotions were repressed and hidden from the light of consciousness and were impacting my capacity to live authentically.

Kiloby Inquiries have proven in my direct experience to be a powerful way to put the light of consciousness on what is still unseen even after awakening to our True Nature and resting in the silence of beingness.

KI has proven to be a set of skills and tools that brought me from awakening to liberation from suffering, which is experientially very different. I can honestly say that I am not suffering anymore. It does not mean that strong emotions are not appearing, but when they do, I am not suffering from them. I can authentically feel them, listen deeply and skilfully inquire into them. That is experientially very different. I feel free.

Awakening to the knowing that “me” is an illusion was one thing, but to truly live from that knowing was made possible by the Kiloby Inquiries tools. With KI, I was blessed to practise many hours of facilitation with another facilitator in training. I was able to go deeper and more precisely into the drivers of identification and suffering. I was able to not only feel but also skilfully uncover repressed and hidden emotions without judgment and shame. This has brought me to a place of being, where nothing is denied in me.

It is not a destination, and I am immensely grateful for that. I can use the tools whenever I need them, and there is no expectation of an endpoint, an arrival or a “final” state of being. I can integrate as I walk in my life fully and authentically. For that, I am eternally grateful for KI, and I hope to be able to support others in meeting themselves fully and authentically.

Salutations de Montréal, Canada.

Bonjour, je m’appelle Julie, je suis à l’aise de travailler avec toute personne qui s’est éveillée à sa vraie nature et qui est en cours d’intégration. Parce que je suis passée par là moi-même, je me sens stable et capable de soutenir d’autres personnes dans ce processus qui est loin d’être confortable parfois, mais tellement gratifiant lorsqu’il est fait à partir d’un lieu de volonté authentique et d’honnêteté.

Je me sens aussi très à l’aise de travailler avec n’importe qui sentant un appel à se rencontrer authentiquement, cela est tout autant l’éveil, qu’il soit graduel ou soudain, l’éveil c’est cela, se rencontrer authentiquement moment par moment.

Je peux travailler en anglais et en français. Le français est ma langue maternelle, mais je suis parfaitement bilingue et habituée à travailler aussi en anglais.

J’espère pouvoir vous rencontrer et être utile pour vous.

Plus de détails ci-bas à propos de mon histoire personnelle.

Au début de l’année 2021, j’ai eu une soudaine réalisation non duelle. Je ne connaissais rien de l’éveil spirituel ni de la non-dualité à l’époque. Je n’étais pas impliquée dans une recherche ou une acquisition de connaissance spirituelle, et cette prise de conscience a été plutôt déstabilisante. J’avais l’impression d’être retourné à l’envers, les couches profondes de la souffrance étaient si proches de la surface qu’il n’y avait plus de possibilité de mettre un couvercle sur aucune d’elles.

Au cours de l’été 2022, après avoir intégré plusieurs de ces couches émotionnelles par moi-même, je suis venue à connaître Kiloby Inquiries dans le but de devenir facilitatrice, mais j’ai vite découvert que cela m’aidait d’abord moi-même dans mon processus d’éveil. Bien qu’il y avait chez moi, en arrivant à Kiloby Inquiries, un sentiment de stabilité, de plus en plus de joie, de calme et de silence, j’ai vite découvert que certaines émotions étaient toujours refoulées et cachées de la lumière de la conscience et cela m’empêchait de vivre authentiquement.

Kiloby Inquiries s’est révélé, dans mon expérience directe, être un moyen puissant de mettre la lumière de la conscience sur ce qui est encore invisible, même après s’être éveillé à notre vraie nature.

KI s’est avéré être un précieux savoir-faire et des outils qui m’ont permis de passer de l’éveil à la libération de la souffrance, ce qui est très différent d’un point de vue de l’expérience directe. Je peux dire honnêtement que je ne souffre plus. Cela ne signifie pas que les émotions fortes n’apparaissent pas ou n’apparaîtront plus jamais, mais lorsqu’elles apparaissent, je n’en souffre pas. Je peux les ressentir de manière authentique et les écouter profondément. Ceci est très différent d’un point de vue de mon expérience directe, je me sens libre.

S’éveiller à la connaissance que «le moi personnel» est une illusion était une chose, mais vivre véritablement à partir de cette connaissance a été rendu possible avec Kiloby Inquiries. Avec KI, j’ai eu la chance de pratiquer de nombreuses heures de facilitation en compagnie d’une autre facilitatrice en formation. J’ai pu découvrir les moteurs de mon identification et de ma souffrance. J’ai pu non seulement ressentir, mais aussi découvrir habilement, grâce aux outils enseignés par kiloby Inquiries des émotions refoulées et cachées, et cela sans jugement ni honte.

Ce n’est pas une destination, et j’en suis immensément reconnaissante. Je peux utiliser les outils chaque fois que j’en ai besoin, et il n’y a pas d’attente d’un point final, d’une arrivée ou d’un état d’être «définitif». Je peux intégrer tout en étant en mouvement dans ma vie, pleinement et authentiquement. Pour cela, je suis éternellement reconnaissante à KI, et j’espère pouvoir aider d’autres personnes à se rencontrer pleinement et authentiquement.

Julie

"Douglas is a natural-born facilitator! Working with him is a very rich experience. He brings so much more to sessions beyond the basic KI toolset.

What I love most about him is his ability to show up with deep presence and warmth. Please do not underestimate the power of being held in this loving presence… it can be one of the most important aspects of working with a facilitator.

I believe this to be especially true if you have difficulty accessing emotions as I do. In the safety of Doug’s presence, it is somehow easier to bring up and release deeply held emotions and beliefs.

Furthermore, his skillful application of the KI tools has brought about many important insights for me. I highly recommend him!"

"Douglas Johnson brings a unique and powerful set of skills to KI facilitation. HIs deeply rich and embodied background in Zen and Yogic teachings allows him to support and guide clients in an unreservedly and loving way. I have had many repression sessions with several facilitators, each bringing their own special flavoring to the work. Douglas brings not only a precision skill level, but he leaves me feeling genuinely cared for, incredibly supported, and unconditionally loved. This alone has allowed me to continue unearthing and releasing emotion and formally hidden commands, in-between our sessions.

Another distinctive quality of Douglas’ facilitation has been his ability to provide clarity and understanding in ways that harmonize with my background in Buddhism, Hinduism, and non-dual traditions. There are many tools in his wheelhouse, which he effectively and deftly brings to a KI session, providing both depth and digestibility for the client. I have rarely felt truly seen in my lifetime, but Douglas constantly surprises and delights me with his awareness, insights, and compassionate understanding. His engagement and feedback inspire the courage within me to keep moving deeper into repressed memories, emotions, and mechanisms. Douglas is an incredibly qualified KI facilitator."

"I want to express my huge gratitude to Douglas for facilitating me today! Douglas is so great in KI! OMG. Brilliant! I have no words for his clarity and compassion, and skills! Amazing!

I want to let you know if you are looking for someone to book KI sessions with - I wholeheartedly recommend Douglas Johnson 100%!"

"I have been studying with Douglas Johnson for several years, and this new technique, "KI," that he has learned is amazing!

KI takes your meditation to a new level. But first, you need the right tools, and this is what Douglas provides. These tools help you peel back layers that may have trapped you for years. It takes time and is exhausting work.

My issue for my KI session seemed straightforward (at least I thought so), but Douglas had me incorporate what I felt physically, and that changed everything! The layers of stuck presented physically and emotionally. Douglas and I worked on this problem for an hour. It was interesting to watch things shift and dissolve. I feel like I walked away with a new perspective on the problem, recognition, and solutions.

I would highly recommend doing this practice with Douglas for anyone at any level, as it can help you see things differently."

Douglas Johnson, the founder of Mahāpatha Yoga, has been teaching meditation and yoga for over twenty years. In that time, he has helped countless people with their spiritual awakening and the post-awakening process that follows.

Douglas’ spiritual roots are in the Zen meditation tradition. Yet, his teaching draws from many sources, such as Tantra Yoga, Christianity, Taoism, Sufism, and modern non-dual teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Gangaji, Adyashanti, Fred Davis, and Scott Kiloby.

As those who have worked with him will tell you, the value in working with Douglas is his intuition and connection to the numinous and the knowledge, wisdom, and experience that comes from having been spiritually awake for over two decades.

"It’s not about feeling better, it’s about being better at feeling. How to express what is beyond words? True Love, sharp and unconditional simultaneously. Regular KI sessions with Kevagne allow me to meet myself on such a deep levels, where all words end. With her unbelievable intuition, perfect questions asked right on time bring deepest unconscious mechanisms into the light of Awareness. She goes straight to the core, gently yet directly. Each time with Kevagne I go deeper and deeper, each time I feel surprised by the new depth of inquiry. With each session freedom - the capacity to feel - expands. Kevagne is totally present with me, she is right here with what is going on inside me, catching micro changes in my mimics faster than I am conscious of them. I feel safe, welcomed and loved by her presence so my system opens itself up more and more. Kevagne’s skill and intuition, wisdom and life experience go together with her deepest curiosity about You, making you feel like you're free-diving into the abyss of Your unconsciousness together with an invisible Spirit Guide sitting in front of Your screen, apparently. Thanks to the fact that Kevagne has been facilitating me for a few months now, and not only facilitating but also mentoring me, helping me keep going deeper and deeper during sessions with her and on my own, walking with me also through the lowest moments of doubt, and feelings that seemed impossible to bear at first, I feel more myself than ever before. Thank You, Kevagne, with all my heart."

"I’ve been working with Kevagne for almost a year now. Her no-nonsense style is tempered by her compassion and understanding. She knows when to push and when to be patient. It’s very evident she has walked the walk, traveling her own inward path extensively. Inquiry can be very hard at times. I needed deep reserves of courage to face my self in this way. Her presence, skill and openness to be vulnerable supported me in sessions when I needed it the most. I’m very grateful to have had this help, and highly recommend Kevagne to those that need to know and want to go to the depths."

"I met Kevagne when we were both training in the KI Certification program. I immediately recognized her commitment to learning the KI tools and her passion to apply them in relieving suffering. What you get with Kevagne as a facilitator is someone who developed her skills through directly experiencing the effects of how the techniques work in her own personal growth. She has learned first hand how to deal with resistance and the unconscious drives that perpetuate old patterns that no longer serve us and uses this self-knowledge to guide others in exploring the issues significant to them. I would tell you that Kevagne’s two greatest qualities as a facilitator are her ability to hold a space of nonjudgmental awareness and a keen Intuition. Kevagne’s ability to connect and rest in the field of Awareness enables the client to feel safe in exploring vulnerable topics and finding a larger context to know themselves. In inquiry Kevagne uses her Intuition to be in tune with the somatic and emotional feeling of what you are experiencing and then guides you to bring unconscious layers into the light of Awareness and Compassion. Her empathetic and gentle touch creates a supportive environment to feel and express vulnerable emotions. I am assuming that if you are reading this and considering exploring the KI tools that you have done a great deal of growth work and that you are interested in going deeper in awakening and embodiment. I can highly recommend Kevagne as a facilitator as you embark on this rewarding adventure."

"Kevagne’s dedication and earnestness for the work, with herself and other people, shows so deeply when we do sessions. I feel completely safe and comfortable to explore all kinds of areas within myself and always feel grateful afterwards. Thank you. "

Hello, and thank you for being here. I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself.

My parents got divorced when I was four years old. All I remember is that a few years later, Mom married someone called Max and I was ashamed of having a stepfather. That’s probably when my seeking started. I became socially inept in grade school and was mistakenly labeled a slow learner. So I fought my way out of that identity, became a gifted student, and skipped a grade in high school. I thought being one of the brightest kids in the class would make me feel like less of an outcast, but it didn’t.

After surviving high school, I went to college and I threw myself into the counterculture of the peace and love revolution of the 60s and found what I thought was the perfect solution for my angst – drugs, sex, and alcohol. My love affair with escaping and getting high came to a temporary halt after ten years when I did a two year stint in AA. And of course, I counted the days that I was sober and used willpower to fight off the periodic urges to get drunk. I think I convinced myself and my sponsor that I was sincerely working the 12 steps, but in fact, one day I walked out of a meeting and went on a drinking spree and never looked back. That spree turned into several decades more of drinking and using.

Thankfully, two spiritual teachers came into my life and because of them, I began to look inside myself at the messiness that was me. I did a few years of bioenergetics therapy and took herbal remedies. I also learned about mantras and life lessons and talked to spirits, all the while still getting stoned, taking painkillers to ease my anxiety, and slugging down copious amounts of alcohol.

In 2005, after getting dead drunk and breaking my leg, I decided to stop using and drinking again and I joined Smart Recovery. I got a lot out of their CBT tools and I liked the absence of labels like addict and alcoholic, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I still wasn’t getting to something important. I just didn’t know what that was. In 2009, my partner died suddenly from a brain hemorrhage and my health took a hit when I got a rare form of chronic leukemia. I was incapacitated and bedridden some of the time and ended up in the ER more than once with severe symptoms. I didn’t want to start drinking or using again, but my seeking accelerated to a whole new level. I continued to be obsessed with finding peace of mind and I was hoping that seeking itself would put an end to my suffering.

First, I went into three years of Hakomi therapy. It was very helpful and nourishing and led me to join a Buddhist sangha for eight years. But I sat on a mat for endless hours and still didn’t find whatever it was that I was seeking. Eventually, I found Dr. Joe Dispenza, Robert Ohotto, Adyashanti, and a few other spiritual teachers. And then quite by surprise, Scott Kiloby came into my life.

When I first heard Scott speaking on a YouTube video, something in me knew that I was going to come home to myself, and I realized that was really all I ever wanted – to be present with myself and other people. I just didn’t know how to do it. My intuition told me that Scott would help me feel all my feelings, especially those that were repressed and trauma related.

I began to practice the Kiloby Inquiries and eventually trained with a skillful and loving teacher, Julianne Eanniello, and became a Certified Kiloby Facilitator. When I do the inquiries, I often experience waves of chaos and turmoil that are sometimes followed by waves of tranquility. There are other times when I feel anxious at the end of the session because a new door has opened to something deeper that requires more inquiry. I’m more willing now to sit with my feelings and ask myself questions I learned during my training like, “What is my body trying to tell me, or what’s really going on here, or what will happen if I never have peace of mind?”

So have I found the answer to “Life, the Universe, and Everything?” Probably not, but

so much has changed since I joined the Kiloby community. I’m now finding I can stay present and express deep feelings to more and more people. Also, when I facilitate people who allow me to hold space for them during their most vulnerable moments, it brings me such joy to be there with them when they break through old conditioning that has sometimes caused them a lifetime of suffering.

I rarely have urges to drink or use anymore and if I do, I’m learning through Scott and Dan McLintock’s Natural Recovery From Suffering, that I no longer need to white knuckle it or count days to push through urges. I now realize that freedom from suffering doesn’t come from soothing my pain, but rather it comes from finding out what’s driving the pain or even what’s driving an illness like my chronic leukemia. When Scott facilitated me in Nevada City, I was able to express deeply repressed anger at my partner for dying and abandoning me. Since then, I have had only mild leukemia symptoms and when they do flare up, I do Kiloby Inquiries so I can find the connection between the symptoms and something I’ve been unconsciously pushing down or holding back.

I’d like to end with something Scott posted recently that perfectly describes for me my previous attachment to peace:

“Being attached to peace (most people aren’t aware of this attachment when it’s happening) can deprive you of joy. Joy is discovered when you allow yourself to feel the full spectrum of emotions in awareness instead of seeking only non-emotional peace.” – Scott Kiloby

"Divya is one of my most skilled facilitators when it comes to repression work related to chronic pain and body contraction. I watched Divya come into the training program and learn all of the tools like every other trainee, but then she did something different. She actually took the repression work that I was teaching the trainees and she took it to the point where her chronic pain left. I had done the same thing with my chronic pain, so I knew that in order to lift a repression like that one has to do very deep work on one's own.

I'm here to tell you that Divya has done that deep somatic work. There is simply no substitute for that kind of experience. You can't learn that in a university. You learn how to unravel the knots of your trauma, your repression, your other conditioning through direct experience and skillfulness. That is exactly what Divya has - experience and a high level of skill.

I highly recommend Divya to anyone dealing with any issue related to the spiritual path, the embodiment of awareness, chronic pain, body contraction, trauma, repression, deficiency stories and just about anything else."

"Divya is a certified Kiloby Inquiries facilitator with a background in science and medicine. She came to KI after a fifteen year spiritual search because she was suffering from chronic pain on the right side of her face for three years with no apparent physical cause. Six months of intensive work with the Kiloby Inquiries led to complete relief from her pain and a more free flowing life with much less worries and more enjoyment of day to day life – can say more connection with the joie de vivre. She is interested in helping people with loosening the stranglehold of conditioning and suffering on their lives and to reconnect with the basic joy of life."

"Divya has facilitated me privately and in small groups. Her keen intuitive sense, kindness, intelligence, and clarity have helped me feel comfortable with KI. I have been able to go deeply in sessions, particularly concerning shame, repression, & physical pain. Divya has a generous spirit and an open and beautiful presence."

"Divya has been trained in Scott's Pain Inquiry process. She healed her own chronic pain using the Kiloby pain inquiry process. She is a physician but nothing in the medical model had helped or explained her chronic pain previously. I've been in small groups doing self-facilitation with Divya and I think she is a really skilled Kiloby Inquires facilitator and a kind, gentle person."

"Divya's guidance allowed me to uncover repression that had been embed deep within the subtle body. I practice KI alone most times but I found that working with Divya provided space for a level of inquiry that I could never achieve on my own. The groups provided and hosted by Divya have been tremendously helpful as well. The space she holds here is transformational."

"Wow, I slept like a BABY last night, without CBD! Today my body feels calm and relaxed. That was a great session - thank you! Feels like my system took a big psychic dump - lol."

Six months of intensive work with the Kiloby Inquiries led to complete relief from her pain and a more free flowing life with much less worries and more enjoyment of day to day life – can say more connection with the joie de vivre.

She is interested in helping people with loosening the stranglehold of conditioning and suffering on their lives and to reconnect with the basic joy of life.
