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
