Nekyia (nek-eye-ya)

Published August 21, 2011 by Janos Neder

Is an ancient Greek term for the journey into darkness, the underworld. References to the Nekyia can be found in Homer’s Odyssey for one. It is also a ritual journey of the Soul where we descend into the darkest recesses of our own underworld to expose our deepest fears and meet our shadow selves .

A Nekyia can also take the form of a Healing Crisis. Your Deep Inner Mind wants your full attention, and nothing grabs the attention faster than having the bottom drop out of your world. Frequently a personal crisis contains the seeds of both danger and opportunity.

The purpose of a Nekyia is to reach a deep understanding of our triggers, drives and core reactions. By doing so in a mindful way we unify the light and the dark in us and can emerge from our Dark Night of the Soul reborn and healed.

It is a Journey that eventually all Spiritual Seekers must undertake
