And welcome to the session.
I invite you to take a seat.
Or lie down.
Get yourself comfortable You can close down the eyes if you wish.
Just begin by slowing down the breath in through the nose.
Low into the belly.
And slept.
Placing your hand upon the heart space Just feeling the warmth of the fingers and the hand upon your skin connecting into this space.
Perhaps visualising it as a glowing ball of energy of flame.
Or a light.
With the breath grows stronger and brighter.
This space,
The hard space.
The self.
Our intuition.
Wise mind.
Whatever you call the highest part of ourself.
This will be our anchor.
This will be our home base.
Where we will connect to different parts of us.
Thus far past.
A personality.
Parts of our body.
That are holding on to things.
Visualizing of a hard space growing stronger and brighter.
As we embody,
Embrace and become the heart space.
Intention for this session.
Is to approach and accept everything that arises.
Compassionate curiosity.
And calm confidence.
When you feel grounded in the heart space.
Grounded in the self.
Take care.
Take a moment to Scan your body.
For a part.
Collection of parts that are calling to being worked with today.
Behold that the body keeps the school.
That things happened in the past.
Than at the time.
We didn't.
Couldn't process.
So we hold on to it.
As tension.
As injury or illness.
As thinking patterns.
Behaviours.
These things kept us safe.
Who survived.
But we may still be holding on to those same patterns,
Those same pains.
Nice parts.
Maybe doing jobs for us still,
That are no longer needed.
In this session.
Encourage you to invite these parts in.
You may notice one.
But luckily there will be.
Two or more.
Often.
In opposition to one another.
One pulling you to fight.
Another to flee.
And yet another freezing.
Perhaps more.
Find where you're holding onto these things in the body and just feel the sensations deeply Perhaps imagining a line of connection from the hard space.
The self.
To those.
Parts in the body.
Line of love.
Of acceptance.
Of compassion.
Line of connection.
Never so delicately with the breath.
Just gently connecting to that part.
And returning.
Connecting to the next path.
And returning.
And so on.
Just feeling everything that arises.
The tensions.
The movements.
And any aspects of the mind space that are opening up.
Thoughts.
Memories.
Internal visions.
Symbolic expressions.
We're going to act as our own inner therapist.
Or a loving parent.
Or guide.
Just listening.
Getting curious.
And asking these parts what job they are doing.
How they are keeping us safe.
What they are afraid of.
If you're working with more than one part.
The interaction between them.
May notice a.
In multiple directions.
Part of you wanting to create them.
Structure.
And systems.
Control.
As a way to keep you safe.
Another part feels more energetic,
Chaotic.
Looking to.
Act.
Act out.
Once again,
To keep you safe.
Where to express.
Way to release.
Perhaps as a way to stop you feeling something.
And oftentimes.
Order and chaos.
Pull you in different directions.
Expression and control.
Fight and flight.
Listening to whatever arises.
From the hard space of the self connecting to the paths you're working with.
Feeling the sensations in the body deeply opening up the mind space.
Approaching and accepting it all.
Compassionate curiosity.
Calm confidence.
Acting as a mediator between the different paths that are arising.
What does each want?
What do they need?
What job are they doing?
Can you find a solution?
That will help them all to settle down a little bit.
Or perhaps.
.
.
Even return.
The heart space to the self.
Let go of those roles in the inner conflict.
In a moment we'll sit in silence for 10 minutes.
Simply sitting with the parts that are arising.
Feeling the sensations in the body deeply exploring any inhibitions,
Memories.
Where the aspects of the mind-space are rising.
Approaching and accepting it all.
Compassionate curiosity.
And calm confidence.
If we are working with multiple parts.
Allowing each in turn to express itself.
To share.
And exploring our internal relationships.
And in this way perhaps discovering insights.
Insights as to why we may be self-sabotaging.
Pulling in multiple directions falling to habits despite our best efforts to stop.
Making relationships then.
Are reminiscent of the past.
And if at any time you feel lost.
Overwhelmed.
Or needing to return.
Just place the hand upon the heart space.
Feel the warmth of the hand upon your skin.
Reignite that internal flame.
And sit in the sense of the self.
Until you feel grounded enough to return to your parts.
Let's begin.
You Okay.
So if you'd like to maintain the meditation you're more than welcome to do so.
But for everyone else,
Just gently returning.
Returning back to their body.
Back to the session.
Back to their day.
In this session we practiced intuitive guidance.
But we settle ourself.
In the heart-space of the self,
The wise mind.
The highest part of ourself.
And from there connect two parts that join.
Or things that aspects of ourselves that may have been holding onto things for years or decades.
Stuck in a roll.
Keeping us safe.
But needing to return,
To reintegrate,
To release.
Paths that express themselves through tensions,
Pains,
Chronic issues,
Thinking patterns,
Behaviours.
So the process is for us to connect these parts.
To approach and accept them with compassionate curiosity and calm confidence.
And sometimes we find that these parts appear in clusters.
Multiple different ways of processing,
Of handling what is arising.
Or due to different events and different things.
Appearing one after the other,
But pulling us in different directions.
Perhaps to control.
Perhaps to impulsiveness.
All as a way to help us.
Not feel.
Something deeper.
If you find there's a cluster or a pair of pots.
Act as that inapparent.
The inner therapist and mediator.
See what they're both wanting.
See if they're both doing the same role but in different directions.
Perhaps come to a negotiation.
Classic one for me is the imagery of a dam.
One part saying no we can't feel anything it's too much.
The other part saying,
Hey,
We need to feel everything.
One part time if we feel it'll work.
Be too much and it'll overwhelm us.
The other part saying yeah,
But.
.
.
We can't block all this off.
What's the solution?
If you damn up.
Eventually it breaks.
Thus proving the point.
However,
If you don't release anything So maybe there's a solution from the self too feel and release a little bit over time.
Don't have to feel it all,
That's too much.
If we feel nothing that leads to consequences as well.
I encourage you to work with the part or the parts that are arising.
And always.
At the end of each session.
Committing to return.
Later today,
In a future session,
At some stage,
Coming back.
Returning saying hey we're still here.
This is not a once and done kind of thing.
Checking back in with the parts or the connection of parts.
And seeing how they're working together.
And eventually,
Over time,
They'll trust you.
Trust the process.
And start to release.
Thank you for joining me in this session I'll see you next time.
