The Journey

Aneta Kadukova > The Journey

A space for deeper work with what is happening within you

The Journey is the core method of Presence. It focuses on a person’s inner world—emotions, fears, blocks, ingrained patterns, and recurring themes in life.
It creates a space to pause, turn your attention inward, and, in a safe environment, encounter whatever currently needs your attention.

What The Journey can unlock

Sometimes we know exactly what’s bothering us. Other times, we just feel tension, fatigue, overwhelm, or the sense that we can’t move forward in life.

The Journey can create space for topics such as:

  • internal stress and overload
  • fears and inner blocks
  • recurring patterns
  • relationships and life situations
  • connection with one's own emotions
  • searching for a new direction

I particularly enjoy working with people who have been under pressure for a long time, bear a great deal of responsibility, and yet still seem to handle everything with ease on the outside.

Coming closer to yourself

The goal is not to suppress unpleasant emotions or to “fix” them quickly. Emotions awaken us. They help us connect with something that may be stuck inside us. We direct our attention toward a deeper understanding of these emotions and what may lie behind them.

Gradually, this creates space to release what no longer serves you and to connect more consciously with yourself, your own needs, and your inner strength.

This is a guided space for your own experience. You don’t need to know in advance exactly what you need to find, nor do you need to achieve a specific result. What matters is your willingness to pause and pay attention to what is happening within you right now.

The Journey as the core of Presence

Within Presence, The Journey represents the inner and emotional dimension of the work. Depending on individual needs, it can be supplemented by work with the body, presence, and the nervous system.

Every process is unique. Its direction and pace are based on what you bring to the session and what you need at that moment.

You can come with a specific issue or without one (purely for preventive purposes). Or perhaps you simply feel that, while you’re still functioning on the outside, on the inside you’re losing your peace of mind, your energy, or your connection to what you truly need.

How a session unfolds

approx. 3 hours · one-on-one

The session lasts approximately 3 hours and begins with a conversation about the topic you’ve come to discuss. We gradually shift our attention to your inner experience, your emotions, and what you’re sensing in your body.

The process unfolds without pressure and at a pace that feels natural to you. At the end, there is time for a brief sharing and integration of what emerged during the session.

During the process, memories, images, or connections may emerge that you were not previously aware of. However, every process unfolds differently, and none of this has to happen in a predetermined way.

I’ll guide you, respect your pace, and refrain from imposing my own answers or interpretations on the process. At the end, there’s time for a peaceful conclusion to the session and to articulate what you’re taking away from it.

Ways to work together

Each topic requires a different amount of time and space. You can start with a single session and then, depending on your needs, continue with either one-on-one or long-term support.

The Journey for children

A gentle space tailored to a child's experience

This journey can also be a gentle way to guide children. The process is shorter, playful, and tailored to the child’s age. It lasts about 30 minutes. Through simple questions, images, and imagination, the child is given space to perceive their feelings and what is happening in their body.

It can create a safe space for addressing topics such as fear, anger, and sadness, as well as minor chronic physical ailments. 

“The Journey for children” is intended exclusively for the children of my clients. This allows us to maintain continuity, mutual trust, and a consistent approach within the family.

How clients perceive Presence

TESTIMONIALS
Student, 16 years old
Czech Republic

I embarked on this journey because I struggled with everyday communication and talking to people, which is why I never had many friends. I was also unable, for example, to give presentations or speak in front of a large group, which limited me especially at school. 

To be honest, I didn't expect much from The Journey at first, but I decided to give it a try. 

I can't say that I've suddenly become a particularly outgoing or talkative person, but I've noticed a huge change. I feel much more confident in this area; I’ve finally made friends at school, and I don’t start panicking every time a stranger speaks to me. I’m so relieved that this fear of mine no longer limits me so much in life.

At first, I didn’t know what I wanted to focus on physically. I entered the process feeling stressed, with pressure in my chest, pain in my side, and a general ache as if I were carrying a heavy boulder. Gradually, themes of fear—that I wasn’t good enough and a fear of pain—began to surface within me. During the process, I felt something inside me relax, and a greater sense of peace set in.
After about a month, I noticed a significant change. I began to live at a slower pace, more calmly, and with greater perspective. I also felt that my body was stronger and healthier. The pain in my side, which I had associated with my kidney and high blood pressure, was no longer present.
Another very powerful moment for me was a memory of my brother, which brought me to tears, gave me relief, and offered a new perspective on the past.
Above all, the entire process brought me a great sense of relief, peace, and inner relaxation. I definitely recommend it.

Before The Journey, I didn't really have anything major I needed to figure out. I just wanted to give it a try, and I was curious to see what it would actually bring me. I didn’t go into it with any major theme or expectations; I just let things take their course and was open to whatever came my way.

More than anything, The Journey gave me the chance to stop and reflect. In everyday life, you’re always rushing around, dealing with work, results, and everything else, but you don’t really take the time to think about yourself. Here, I had the space to reflect on what I’m doing, why I’m doing it, and what’s more important in life. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to take a moment to look back on what they’ve been through and, at the same time, get a clearer sense of where to go from here.

The Journey method is a profound inner process that helps a person go beneath the surface of emotions, tension, and old patterns. It leads to a quiet space within, where what no longer serves us can be released—and where we can reconnect with our own truth, peace, and strength. It is an experiential method, not an analytical conversation. It works with the body, emotions, memories, and the present moment.

The process begins with a gentle introduction to the body and to the client’s current experience. The client gradually allows themselves to be guided through an emotion or physical sensation to its core—to the place where the information that needs to be seen and released is hidden.

During the Journey, we work with:

  • emotions and their roots
  • old wounds and patterns
  • forgiveness and acceptance
  • a return to one’s true nature

The entire process takes place in a safe, mindful, and respectful environment.

This journey is suitable for anyone who:

  • feels tension, anxiety, fear, or exhaustion
  • is going through a life change, pressure, or transition
  • is seeking deeper peace, stability, and a connection with themselves
  • wants to let go of old patterns of behavior or reactions
  • longs for authenticity and inner release
  • …or simply as a preventive measure—there’s always something to work on.

It is gentle yet very effective—it creates space for real change.

After a Journey process, people often feel:

  • peace and relaxation
  • clarity and inner stability
  • a greater ability to be present
  • ease in decision-making
  • openness to life
  • a return to oneself

The journey helps dissolve what has been hindering the free experience of life—and supports the natural flow of life.

Yes. The process is guided with great sensitivity, respect, and presence. The client receives support and clear guidance throughout the entire process. We work only with what is ready to surface and be released at that moment.

Safety is a fundamental pillar of the method.

In the Presence approach, The Journey is a fundamental pillar that naturally connects with:

  • Shiatsu—relaxes the body and brings it into balance, a Presence supplement
  • AromaTouch—harmonizes the nervous system, a Presence supplement

Yes, definitely. Discover what makes you feel good and what brings you joy—it doesn't even have to be a structured method. It could be a walk, spending time in nature, or painting.

Definitely. The Journey can support the healing process.
