Parts Work

Parts work is taking parts of ourselves and taking them apart, exploring them, being present with them, and combining all parts of ourselves to be a more whole self. Every time we have a desire, we also have a part of us that desires the opposite. We look at, explore, love each part and help to realize that both parts even though maybe conflicted, still are fighting for the same mission, same importance!

Alright guys,

So today we are going to be doing pot swap.

I'm going to invite you to just start to look at a part of your life,

An intention that you have,

A manifestation that you are wanting,

A goal,

And set the intention to start to have clarity over this intention,

This goal.

Starting with our breath,

Starting to sit down,

Finding a place where we will not be disturbed,

I'm going to ask you to place your hands on your lap and opening your hands up to the sky.

It's time to take a deep breath in through your nose,

Holding the breath at the top and breathing out.

Breathing in again,

Expanding your tummy all the way into your chest and letting it all go.

Breathing in and breathing out.

And as you continue to breathe in,

Start to set your intention for today,

Setting the intention to do the pot swap,

To start to integrate the conflicting parts of yourself.

Setting the intention to get clarity on your intentions,

On your manifestations,

On your goals,

And breathing into that intention.

Breathing in and breathing out.

And you may start to call on any guides,

Any angels,

And start to come back to your natural breath now and calling in any ancestors,

Guides,

Idols,

Such as Jesus,

Buddha,

Radha Krishna,

Whoever you identify with and inviting them to be present with you as you do the pot swap,

Inviting them to guide you,

Protect you,

And hold you.

Breathing in and breathing out.

And breathing out.

And now I want to invite you to hold out both of your hands,

Palms facing up,

Facing the ceiling.

And I'm going to invite you to close your eyes.

If you are doing the ready exercise,

Still close your eyes for just a moment.

And I want you to imagine in one hand a little three inch you,

A little three inch high yourself you.

Imagine in that hand the part of you that wants safety,

The part of you that wants the sameness,

The part of you that may have some fears.

And in the other hand,

I want you to imagine another three inch dreamer self,

The part of you that wants growth,

The part of you that wants change.

And start to hold both of these parts in your hands,

Feeling into them,

Loving them,

And accepting both parts.

And with your palms still facing up,

I want you to bring your awareness to the part of you that wants safety,

The safety self.

And start to become aware of what this part of you looks like.

What are they wearing?

How old are they?

How old are they?

What is the emotional state,

The menial mood?

If you are writing,

You can write this answer or just feel into it,

Feeling into the part of you that wants the safety.

What does it look like?

What is it wearing?

How does it feel?

What emotions are coming up?

Is this part of you scared,

Happy?

Is it excited?

Is it a child,

A teenager,

An adult?

Just feeling into this,

No matter how silly it may seem,

And acknowledge it.

The part of you that may have abandonment problems,

The part of you that is struggling with your body,

The part of you that isn't sober,

The part of you that wants to eat that junk food,

The part of you that may be lonely,

Just feeling into that.

And when you are ready,

With your eyes closed,

Imagine on the other palm,

The three-inch,

High-old dream self.

The part of you that wants what you want,

The part of you that wants the part of you that wants the sobriety,

The part of you that wants the little body,

Part of you that wants the money,

The love.

And become aware of this part of you.

What are they wearing?

How old are they?

What is their emotional state,

Demeanor,

And mood?

Feeling into this dream or you?

Is it expansive?

Is it happy?

Is it exciting?

Is it wearing a tutu or a superman costume?

Feel free to write it down if you are ready or simply feel into it.

Is this part of you a child,

A teenager,

And a doctor?

Become aware of it and feel into this aspect of you,

The little dream or you.

And when you are ready,

Take a look at both of these parts again.

The part of you that wants the safety,

The security,

The knowing,

And the dream or part of you that wants what it wants,

Wants the future,

Wants the growth,

Wants the change.

And ask these parts of you which part is willing to lead a connection and say hello.

Which part is ready and willing to lead the conversation and say hello first?

And then invite the little self that is willing to lead the conversation to ask the other part and say hello,

Hello,

And allow it to ask hello.

I see you are standing for something important.

What do you see that I don't see?

What can you teach or show me?

Well,

What are you protecting?

And listen carefully.

Allow the one part.

Ask the other part.

What is the part of you standing for?

What is it that it wants?

What is important to that aspect,

That little you?

What is that part seeing that the other part is not seeing?

What does it want to teach or show the other part?

What is it protecting?

Feel into this and if you are writing,

Feel free to write into this.

And just listen.

Listen to this part of you in a way that you may not have listened before.

Allow the one part of you to try to get that part of you to share its truth and its values.

What is its protecting?

What is it standing for?

What does it see that the other part doesn't see?

What can it teach it?

Show it.

Feel into it.

And when you are ready,

Ask the other part if they're willing to answer the same question.

And listen.

Maybe it wants to speak.

Maybe it doesn't.

If it doesn't,

Allow the part of you to encourage the other part that it's safe and it's secure and that it can share.

And then ask the other part the same question.

Allow the one part to say,

I see you are standing for something important.

What do you see that I don't see?

What can you teach or show me?

Or what are you protecting?

Allow the communication and conversation.

The communication and conversation between these two parts to dialogue.

Feel into it and write it if you are writing.

What does the other part see and is standing for?

What does it feel is important?

What does this part of you see that the other part doesn't see?

What does it have to teach or show the other part?

What are they protecting?

Listen carefully.

And when you are ready,

Look at both parts again.

Look at the part of you that may want sobriety,

The part of you that doesn't,

The part of you that wants the weight loss,

The part of you that doesn't.

The part of you that wants the love and the part of you that's scared.

The part of you that wants the money and the other part of you that wants to stay right where you are.

Look at both of these little aspects of you and start to notice that each part of you is standing for something important.

Notice how each part of you is standing for you.

Notice how one part is standing for safety and security while the other is standing for growth and safety.

And start to notice how both parts are taking care of you in a different way.

Start to notice how they both love you.

Both parts care for you.

Both parts are cheering for you.

Start to notice that these parts which may be conflicted are actually on the same team.

Notice that these parts,

Even though conflicted,

Are on the same team because they are standing for you.

They are loving you.

They are encouraging you.

Suggest to these parts that they can work together as allies collaborating to create a safe and pro-growth future.

And ask them what's possible if they worked together honoring both sets of values,

Learning to tessellate them.

Notice that both of them stand for you.

Notice how they both have a sense of value and love.

And then ask these parts,

Again,

If they are willing to work as a team,

Work as allies.

Ask if they are willing to connect physically with each other,

If they're willing to love each other,

Shake hands,

Hug,

And listen.

And if for some reason they are not ready to come together,

Ask them why and honor them and gently encourage them to join forces together.

Encourage them by telling them that they are safe and that they are secure and that they too are loved and they too are wanted and that you too stand for each part.

You are not here to shame them.

You are not here to judge them.

You are not here to abandon them.

You are not here to hurt them.

But you too stand for them as they stand for you.

And when you are ready,

Allow both of these parts to come together and allow both of these parts to connect by moving your hands together,

Connecting both hands closer together.

Pressing both palms together in prayer pose and then pressing both hands into your heart.

Moving both parts into your heart now.

And both of these parts can continue to work together in the unconscious as allies.

Feel into that.

Allow them to start to understand each other,

Love each other.

Be teammates for the bigger you.

Start to feel this new connection,

This new sense of safety,

This new sense of security,

This new sense of growth and change and beauty.

And know that you are now a new you,

A transformed you.

Breathe into the new you.

Breathe into the part of you that is now a more whole version with less separate selves,

With less conflicting ideas,

The part of you that knows that every single part is standing for you,

Is guiding you.

And breathe into your nose and out your mouth.

Take these parts of you,

Breathing in and breathing out.

Taking one more deep breath in,

Breathing in and breathing out.

When you are ready,

Opening up your eyes and gently going into the room.

Notice what you can smell.

Notice what you can taste.

Notice what you can heal.

Notice what you can smell.

Notice what you can see.

Welcome back.

Feel both of these parts new and loved.

Welcome back.

Reviews

Gorgeous, evocative, and profound. I really felt the love and care infused into the meditation, and there is so much potential for this meditation on repeat. The only thing I would wish for is more spacious time to feeling into the answers of the guided questions. Thank you! ✨🙏🏽✨👭🏻✨🧚🏿‍♀️🩵✨

Wow! That was way beyond my expectations! Thanks a lot! I will do this again and research your materials.

Your voice is so soothing and incredible teachings thank you

Perfect for what I needed - seeing and honoring my two parts that have been in conflict. Will be doing this daily for a while.

Beautiful! 💜
