About Tchiki

Dr. Tchiki Davis, M.A., Ph.D. spent 20+ years studying and writing about the human mind, emotions, and well-being as a research psychologist.​
about: integral understanding
✓  Raised as an atheist, Tchiki pursued science. She was never a spiritual seeker.
✓  She completed a BA, MA, and PhD, studying emotions and their effects on well-being. 
✓  She built a career as a psychology writer, and her articles reached more than 30 million people.
✓  In 2018, she had a partial kundalini rising which eventually evolved into a spontaneous heart awakening and nondual awareness.
​
✓  As greater nondual clarity emerged, she wrote the content for this website.
✓  In 2026, these realizations became so deeply embodied that the mental structures required for conceptual work — teaching, writing, coaching — dissolved. The career as a psychology writer came to an end.

Tchiki now meets people on the awakening path not with answers or advice, but with a quality of compassionate presence that allows whatever is there to be exactly what it is. No fixing. No witnessing from a distance. It's more like an embodied allowing.

This particular function is sometimes called:
  • A Lighthouse: Stable, stationary, emitting something consistently without directing it at anyone specifically. 
  • Frequency Holding: Like a tuning fork that doesn't try to tune anything but simply holds its frequency steadily enough that other instruments begin to find it.
  • Transmutation: Because there isn't contraction or resistance to your "negative" emotions, they are held with unconditional allowing. As a result, something often shifts in your experience. This is often described as a greater sense of calm, grounding, or clarity.
