Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do you call this tool
Divine Demons?
When the word "divine" is used as a verb, it means to
discover. The process of reclaiming your power is one of discovering
your True Self. Buried beneath your fears and doubts is a divine
human who dreams of living a deeply fulfilling life. As we work
to remove the obstacles to that dream, or these things we call demons,
we discover that they have created some of the most beautiful aspects
of who we are. Some of our most divine traits – compassion,
respect, kindness – we develop through struggle. When we open
our hearts and shed the pain of the past, we find our divinity in
our demons.

Q: What are the benefits of using
Divine Demons?
Divine Demons is a tool that teaches
you how to release fears and distorted beliefs that interfere with
your ability to enjoy an emotionally, spiritually, mentally and
physically satisfying life. Each time you use it, you reclaim some
of the power you’ve given away. You replace fear and doubt
with love and trust. You find yourself able to manifest new experiences
that once seemed impossible. Relationships shift, possibilities
open up, peace and harmony replace struggle and dissatisfaction.
You control the pace and amount of change. The more you use Divine
Demons, the closer you get to your True Self, wholeness,
and the life you deserve. The rewards are worth the effort.

Q: How much time does it take
to use Divine Demons?
Each time you draw a card, you are asked to complete a series
of transformation exercises. This is a very individualized process
that progresses at your own pace. Depending on how deeply you care
to explore an issue, and how comfortable you are working through
emotions, you may spend 2-3 hours from start to finish, or you may
take longer, spreading the work over several days. It is completely
up to you and your comfort level. You may find some initial resistance
as you work with this tool, and find that the more you use Divine
Demons, the easier it gets to complete the exercises.

Q: How long will I need to use
Divine Demons?
You set the pace and the goals with Divine
Demons, so the answer to this question is up to you. Each
time you draw a card and complete the transformation process, something
shifts in your life. Depending on how much change you desire, how
deeply you wish to connect to your True Self, or how great your
desire for wholeness, you may choose to use Divine
Demons once or you may adopt it as a life-long practice.

Q: What are some of the ways
people use this tool?
Everyone has different goals and desires for their life. Some
people choose an aggressive approach to change or spiritual growth
and have a practice of drawing a card and completing the process
once a week. They find that this keeps momentum going and gives
them a sense of commitment and accomplishment. Others draw a card
whenever they feel an issue surfacing. This gives a tremendous sense
of relief and satisfaction as struggle and emotion dissolves. Your
intuition will guide you to the best approach for you.

Q: Even though I’ve experienced
the benefits of working with Divine Demons,
I still resist it. Why is that?
Fears and emotional patterns have been with us our whole lives,
so transforming them can be very challenging. No matter how motivated
we are, resistance is perfectly natural, especially since we are
stepping into vulnerability and uncertainty. And many of us have
learned to avoid or ignore our emotions; so working directly with
them can be intimidating. Be kind, give yourself credit for doing
this work and trust that when it’s time to take the next step
you will have plenty of courage to guide you through. And remember
that there is always divine support flowing to you.

Q: What is the right time to
use Divine Demons?
Divine Demons will help you whenever
you are ready for a shift to occur in your life. That may be when
you are feeling agitated, angry, sad or low (which means an issue
has surfaced and wants to be released), when a problem or issue
is confronting you and you feel confused or stuck or unable to solve
it, or when you make a conscious choice to change some aspect of
your life. When the time is right, you will know. Listen to your
inner voice.

Q: How long do I have to use
this tool before I see results?
Everyone’s experience is unique and personal when using
Divine Demons. Most people feel immediate
results after completing the transformation exercises – in
the form of elation or exhaustion or peacefulness. As time passes,
you will observe subtle to bold shifts in life events related to
the issue you just worked through. Remember the Law of Attraction;
you have changed your vibration, so you immediately begin attracting
different experiences. Some people see a dramatic change immediately
and others experience slow and subtle changes. Trust that whatever
happens is what is right for you.

Q: What makes this tool so powerful?
The fears, distorted beliefs, and energetic patterns that shape
our lives permeate our entire being. That’s why they so profoundly
influence our experience of life. The exercises that you complete
in the transformation process are working on all levels of your
being: mental, emotional, spiritual and physical – for a complete
healing or clearing of an issue. Because you are taking responsibility
for your own healing, your motivation and effectiveness are high.
And of course, you are well supported by your Higher Self and the
Divine as you do this work.

Q: How does Divine
Demons correspond to religious beliefs?
The principles behind Divine Demons
can be integrated into a wide variety of spiritual, religious beliefs,
or atheist beliefs. Terms used to describe the Universal Life Force
are specifically chosen to be respectful and neutral so that you
can apply your own terms or references as you wish.

Q: It seems like I keep going
back to the same old childhood memories. Must I come up with new
memories each time I complete the Transformation Exercises?
You may trust that whatever memories come up as you complete the
exercises are perfectly appropriate. Some events or circumstances
have such a profound influence in shaping our lives that they will
come up over and over. If the memories surface, that means there
remains some unresolved emotion and that you are either working
on a different facet of an issue or are going to a deeper level
of healing.

Q: Must I always draw only one
card?
Divine Demons is a very versatile
tool that can be used as you deem appropriate. Many people find
greater insight into an issue by drawing multiple cards. What’s
most important is that you listen to your inner guidance and follow
it. Do what feels right for you, and you will get the best results.

Q: After I’ve completed
the Divine Demons process it seems
like the issue I just dealt with comes back to haunt me. What’s
happening?
We are continuously transmitting energy and attracting like energy
to ourselves. As such, there are always events and people and experiences
set in motion that flow to us. When we shift our vibration (e.g.,
by completing the transformation process) we shift what we are attracting
to ourselves. The things that were already set in motion may continue
to arrive until a new pattern is established. (See "Frozen
Vegetables" in Chapter 2 of the book) And because our awareness
is raised, they may seem even stronger. This doesn’t mean
you have failed to clear an issue – quite the opposite. You
may look at it as an opportunity to consciously break an old pattern,
or apply a "new you" to an old situation and watch a different
outcome emerge. It is very helpful to talk through your experiences
with others as you do this work so that you can become a conscious
observer of your life and can always feel supported.

Q: If I draw the same card more
than once, does that mean the process didn’t work?
It is perfectly appropriate to draw the same card several times.
We carry many layers of fear and doubt and are peeling them away
one at a time. An issue may have multiple layers, each holding slightly
different facets or deeper levels of emotion.

Q: Why do you recommend writing
in a journal?
Journaling serves many wonderful purposes. It helps us express
our feelings, which is good for staying connected to our Inner Self,
for purging old energies, and for processing or integrating changes
in our lives. Writing puts us in the position of observing our experiences
so that we can see and appreciate the positive changes we’re
making, as well as gain different perspectives and more easily solve
problems. And by writing about what matters to us, we keep our heart
and mind connected, which opens the channel to divine truth and
wisdom.

Q: Sometimes an issue seems
too complex to solve. Any suggestions?
It may help to draw more than one card and look for interrelationships.
Sometimes an issue has several different components that need to
be looked at together in order to find the underlying beliefs that
are driving it. Try drawing 3-4 cards at a time to see what they
tell you. Talk it through with someone who knows you well –
someone who can more easily step outside the issue and give you
a different perspective. Writing about it in a journal may give
you new perspectives and can open your mind to divine guidance that
is trying to come through. Stick with it and a solution will come.

Q: By completing the transformation
process, will I disappear or lose a part of myself?
As you use this tool, you will be offered the opportunity to break
old patterns of thinking and behavior and let go of fears and distorted
beliefs that no longer serve you. All of this is done by your choice
and will result in desired shifts in your life. You are setting
the pace and you are controlling the process. You will become aware
of how your fears and old beliefs have interfered in your life and
will release them with love after honoring the lessons they have
taught. In the process, the essence of you remains and a stronger,
more beautiful version of you emerges.

Q: I have very weak memories
of my childhood. I find myself going back to the same few events
that I can remember. Can I complete the process with memories that
people have told me about?
It is most important to be able to surface the feelings and distorted
beliefs that resulted from early life events. This can be done with
or without clear memories. It can even be done with past-life issues
that have been carried into this life – with or without specific
memories. The beliefs that were established will create patterns
that carry through to the present. Simply look for patterns of behavior,
of disappointment, hurt, or self-destruction, etc. in order to uncover
distorted beliefs. You will know when you have accurately identified
a belief because it will "ring true" – your body
will give you an indication.
