S1 E2 | Activity: Accessing Self-Energy Through Flows of Compassion

In today's episode of the Self Led Besties Podcast, Hallie beautifully leads David and Christine through a meditation and journaling exercise of listening to activated parts and receiving compassion from a Self energy surrogate and our own future Self before offering compassion out to others. After the exercise, Christine and David share about their activated parts and the messages they received from Self. Christine shares for parts activated by events in Minnesota and David shares for parts polarized around healing. In the spirit of experimentation on which our podcast is based, we tried offering just an audio experience with no edits for this episode. There will be large gaps of silence in this video/audio so that you can follow along in the exercise with us. You are welcome to join us or forward and just listen to our experiences. This is an exercise you can come back to repeatedly whenever parts feel activated (see chapters if you'd like to access a specific part of the exercise). If you do the exercise and would like to share what came up for you, please do that in the comments section. In this way, we can all be a community of compassionate with-ness for one another. 0:00 Intro 1:48 Theme Song 2:28 Exercise Intro 5:01 Finding Trailheads 9:32 Writing About Trailheads 16:25 First Flow Of Compassion 21:55 Second Flow Of Compassion 26:36 Third Flow Of Compassion 32:38 Exercise Summary 35:29 Christine's Experience 45:42 David's Experience 55:38 Outro & Full Theme Song
