Daily IFS Meditation

I hope this message finds you awash in curiosity, bathed in neutrality, full of spaciousness.As we head into what is, for many, a difficult season, I wanted to offer you a simple daily meditation to support taking a few moments of connecting with yourself, however, you are feeling in the moment. While the practice is based on Internal Family Systems and the No Bad Parts book, you are more than welcome to join in even if you haven’t read the book or don’t even know what Internal Family Systems is. Know that when I reference parts, I am talking to our deep experiences that are often hidden away inside of us, the ways we developed to keep ourselves safe in situations that felt anything but. Maybe you’ve called yourself a people pleaser, an intellectualizer, a perfectionist. Maybe you’ve said you’re “bad at boundaries” or “never follow through.” Together in the moment we hold the idea that everything we do is in pursuit of maintaining connection with those around us and trying to survive, while also knowing it is possible to shift, change, and make room for change for those older patterns that served us in the past but may not be anymore. Each and every part of you is welcome here, even if you’re not ready to welcome them in yet. Join me for this short practice of anchoring in neutrality and curiosity, of working with our brains and nervous systems instead of against them. See you what you notice. Pause. Restart. Stop. It’s all one big experiment.See you out there :)Trisha This is a public episode.
