Summary

In this second conversation with Corey Busch, we explore the difference between using Internal Family Systems (IFS) for healing and for awakening. Corey has developed what he calls the IFS Love Practice, a way of blending mindful meditation with IFS. In this practice, a part is accepted just the way it shows up. It does not need to relax back, or change, or be healed. It already is OK. Together, we reflect on: * How awakening can be a practice of settling into what is already here, rather than striving for change. * How mindful meditation can be used in IFS to reassure parts that they are welcome exactly as they are * The invitation to parts that they can change or not change (however they see fit). * The many “flavors” of love, and the ocean-like OK-ness of Self. This conversation reminds us that love and acceptance aren’t something our parts need to earn, but rather they can "awaken to" and feel how this energy is already around them.
