DIAMOND SOUL WORK is a form of deep inner exploration that leaves out nothing in your experience of yourself, fully embracing every aspect of who you are. Whatever appears in the nowness of your consciousness is compassionately and sensitively explored, without judgement or goal. This exploration naturally allows insight, understanding, and deeper and deeper levels of truth to arise. As the exploration continues, following the thread of your experience and understanding, your personality gradually becomes more known to you. This allows you to move closer and closer to spirit, or Essence, eventually leading you your true nature, or who you actually are.
THE FUNDAMENTAL PRACTICE is inquiring into the truth in each moment. What this means is that, with Persephone's guidance, you start by noticing whatever you’re aware of in your inner space right now. It could be a feeling, an issue, a body sensation, a thought, a memory …. whatever it is, you simply bring your attention to it with as much curiosity and compassion as you can, and as you do that, new insights and truths about the initial experience naturally start to arise. Then you bring your curiosity and compassion to these new insights, and so on into greater and greater understanding.
AS YOU FOLLOW YOUR THREAD of awareness and insight and truth, it naturally takes you deeper and deeper into your psyche. The understandings you gain allows your psyche to become more and more transparent to you. Eventually, this transparency reveals the Essence that lies at the core of your being, and you find yourself experiencing one or other of the dimensions of spirit, perhaps strength, aliveness, love, joy, contentment, peace, value, or one of the other many manifestations of presence.

DIAMOND SOUL WORK UNDERSTANDS very precisely how you move back and forth between ego and Essence, which emotions relate to which particular manifestations of spirit, and how to journey through emotional issues to find the underlying spiritual state.
TRADITIONALLY we have had to do our psychological work with a therapist, and our spiritual work with our spiritual teacher. Spiritual work has attempted to simply ignore or transcend psychological issues, often with limited success, and psychological work has often been hostile to spirit, not understanding that spirit is the only lasting remedy for all our emotional difficulties. There has not been one place to work with the wholeness of who we are, the indivisible oneness of ego and Essence.
THE AIM of Diamond Soul work is to include both, and to allow access to Essence by transforming rather than transcending your psychological issues.
AS YOUR PSYCHE IS SLOWLY TRANSMUTED through inquiry and understanding, it becomes lighter, more open, and more suffused by Essence. You become gradually less reactive and more accepting, and have more and more access to presence as the foundation for your everyday life. You find that slowly, you live more from presence and less from the suffering of your reactivity. You feel more grounded in who you really are, and there is more objectivity, contentment, joy and harmony in your life. You feel more and more that you have come Home, home to who you truly are.
