As always, a great meditation and connection to my parts. The inner teen is a phenomenal untapped resource in IFS, because so much focus is placed on the inner child. But the inner teen is a child, too, and deserves acknowledgment. Thowing on some Backstreet Boys and Papa Roach today in her honor 💿

An awesome meditation! The teacher left plenty of time for inner dialogue, and it was wonderful to have the space needed to reveal joy and playfulness. I always finish my meditations with this teacher with a big smile on my face!

Awesome meditation which opened with an unexpected chuckle - it put a smile on my face and really set the mood for this practice! I love the concept of combining metta with IFS, and I'm definitely following this teacher for more great meditations!

Really great talk on HP. As an atheist, I struggle with the concept. Some great thoughts on that here. Thank you

I am blessed & abundant despite 'western poverty' . I appreciate this perspective tho as been grateful is grilled into one yet sometimes, somehow, life can seem alarming w its disparity between'have & have nots' so I'm grateful for this roof over my head, my body, loved ones, my practices, my family despite all our struggles, challenges, feelings of broken ness at times.

Yeshua, Thanks Jonathon. Suffering transmuted into loving will, given willingly.

Brought up some suppressed feelings that are hard but need to be released and worked through. The part of me that needed to be loved is getting some more attention because of it. Thank you.
