Biography


Hello, my name is Toshi Matsunaga. I discovered KI in the midst of my own experience with physical and emotional pain – since using KI to meet the part of myself that was always there, just hidden by trauma and repression, my love for this work has grown exponentially and I have no greater passion or love than that of facilitating KI sessions for others trying to navigate an often painful and challenging human life. I am now a very experienced facilitator, helping to have developed the latest repression, 3rd dimension work tools and 3rd dimension map alongside Scott and Dan, I am also experienced in training and certifying individuals to become experienced KI facilitators, up to the Green Check Mark Level. I have a passion to take people beyond the need to heal, or need to be ok. By taking responsibility for our suffering, freedom & choice can re-enter our lives once again. Bringing everything to the table to be inquired into, which includes all identities, stories and beliefs. Making our unconscious conscious, with no exceptions. We might not see that this is what we want until we start to uncover the beliefs & programs that block our natural recovery. These begin to arise when we become more conscious of our programs (emotional repressions, beliefs, traumas, to name a few) that have been running our lives. Along the way we will start to see who we really are, everything and nothing at the same time, the true embodiment of what and who we are. 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 and non-dual bypass. 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.

"Working with Dan has been nothing short of transformational. His open heart, honesty about his personal experience and permission to be real and not hide have helped me unlock those qualities in myself. And that has been a total game changer. I've been truly blessed, not only to have him as my KI Facilitator, but also as my mentor. Without a doubt, working with him has helped me to show up authentically, helped sharpen my tools and made me a better facilitator than I would've been on my own. I can't recommend him enough."

Valerie Vinger is a thriving survivor of life’s painful challenges and growth opportunities. She has worked with 12-step programs and is currently a 13-year stage-III cancer survivor. Her cancer recovery journey started with the traditional “cut, poison, burn” approach but eventually led her down a natural path to healing her body, her pain and suffering, and her buried emotions.

Valerie first stumbled upon Scott Kiloby at a workshop of his in Boulder, Colorado in 2012, which she says is one of the most transformative experiences she’s ever had. She is filled with gratitude for the person she has become through her journey with cancer recovery and with the Inquiries, which she describes as “coming home to myself.” She loves working with people who are ready for relief from their pain and suffering.

About Julianne:

For most of my life I’ve wondered who I am and why I am here. As I was growing up, no one else seemed to be talking about these things, or even thinking about them, so I buried it deep inside and tried my best to fit in the way I was “supposed” to, all the while feeling like there was something desperately wrong with me and that I needed to fix it.

In my early thirties, the death of a young relative left me feeling hopeless and helpless, wondering what is the point of life if we’re all just going to die anyway? This launched me on a search. I didn’t even know what I was looking for, I just knew that there was a longing – a desperate longing for something that actually made sense about life. I learned several alternative spiritual and healing techniques. I meditated. I read books and watched videos. I eventually learned of non-duality teachings, and I read more books, watched more videos, and even sat with several ‘awakened’ teachers. Yet I was still searching, something still felt missing. I was looking for the key that would unlock the mystery of me and of life.

In my early forties, I developed a chronic health condition that left me unable to work for several years, and most days barely able to get out of bed due to extreme fatigue, brain fog and pain. I lost my banking job, and eventually lost my home. I saw a multitude of doctors to try to find out what was wrong with me, and used every tool in my metaphysical and alternative medicine toolkit to try to heal myself. My seeking became even more intense, and I was looking for a way to escape my pain.

In 2009, I met Scott Kiloby. Since I started working with him and doing the Living Inquiries, the seeking for enlightenment has stopped, and the question of ‘who am I’ is no longer relevant. My victim stories around my health started falling away. Once I started looking at my experience through inquiry, everything changed. I stopped chasing something ‘out there.’ I no longer seek some future state of happiness or peace. This is not to say that I don’t have problems, or ever experience pain. Quite the contrary. I still use the inquiries regularly, and now there is much less avoidance or resistance to what I’m experiencing. I experience more and more freedom in the present moment, exactly as it appears.

Having trained with Scott, I was one of the first to be certified as a Senior Living Inquiries Facilitator and Trainer in early 2012. In 2014, I moved to CA and became a business partner with Scott at The Kiloby Center for Recovery, where we worked with people suffering from addiction, anxiety, depression and more for the next 8 years.

I can’t imagine my life without these inquiries. They saved me from myself. If you are still suffering, searching, longing… I encourage you to give this a try.

As a young child I saw a picture of Jesus gazing lovingly at some children around his feet. I immediately longed for the unconditional love I saw in his gaze. At the same time, I was being read fairy tales, like Cinderella, and came to believe that romantic love would satisfy that longing for love.

So, I married my handsome prince at age 19. But then, by age 29, I found myself alone, as a single mother, with four young children. I was devastated and convinced that something was terribly wrong with me, to have ended up in such a predicament. 

I had learned to love and please others, but not how to love and respect myself. I was a “good girl,” and repressed my urges to have my own needs acknowledged and met. A wise teacher later told me, “We need to love everyone, including ourselves.” This was an amazing revelation for me!

Learning to meditate helped immensely to bring moments of peace, while I was sitting still, though I was still being triggered regularly in my relationships. Finally, the Kiloby Inquiries taught me how to turn my attention inside in daily life – towards the trapped thoughts and emotions I’d been running from – so that I could face and release them. It was like some tender, lost children began coming home, to take their rightful place in my inner world. 

I am honored and excited to be able to facilitate these wonderful inquiries for others.

I am a non bypassing non-dual teacher with 13 years of direct experience. Waking up and abiding in our true nature was not enough. Some unconscious repressed fear was debilitating my expression for years. Stepping into the power of my voice fully was only possible with KI. In 2020 signing up to KI training with Scott and Dan changed the trajectory and the quality of my life and work. I released loads of repressed shame and anger from my system and now am able to let live manifest and express effortlessly. And I know you can live and be the fullest free expression of YOU!

 

I am so passionate about this method of deprograming & embodiment that I am here to inspire others to experience it for themselves. These tools and my perseverance in experimenting with them brought effortlessness, ease in the unknown, financial abundance, freedom of expression, burst of creativity and such a fulfilling work environment, where everyone is honoring integrity, authenticity and inner deepening. I’ve learned so much from all my fellow trainees and clients, it’s been such a privilege to hold space and witness their growth and transformation. I’ve been training in KI with Scott and on my own since 2021 and now so excited to train all dimensions training for full immersion in this work. 

 

I have experience working with: parents and children, childhood trauma, repression of voice/power/expression, non-dual bypassing, spiritual seeking, emotional repression, addiction, chronic pain, abuse, sexual abuse, sexual repression, depression, PTSD, birth trauma mother and baby, grief and loss, couples counseling, lack and scarcity mindset. 

 

I can help you move beyond suffering and fear into the world more fully with your gifts, authenticity and uniqueness recognizing your unbroken, true nature.
