When I detach it is like forgiveness, I let go and free myself. I give it to a higher power and have faith/trust/know that it will be taken care of in the best possible way for all involved. After sharing today I realize I don’t have to be in control or worry, I use the Guidelines that will give me a healthy way to proceed and not be concerned with the outcome.

As I am sitting down to write my discoveries on how I have been attached and what came of that, I am finding that I have a frightened part that wants to keep me from sharing on the community board. What I am recognizing is that when I indulge this frightened part it keeps me separate from others and this in turn keeps me from learning about myself. How interesting, my cheeks feel tight and hot, my thoughts are unclear therefore unfocused. I have recognized this lately in my not following through on opportunities in my life. I think a lot about reaching out and connecting with others but in reality I am more comfortable keeping myself busy and being alone. “More comfortable” creates pain in my sacral area and heaviness in my throat, burning in my heart. I have gratitude in recognizing this frightened part and the power that I have been giving it. I am challenging it by posting this on the community board with the intention to heal it and connect with you the reader.

I am going to post about my attachment to my husband changing his mind and coming back to the marriage. This is something I have been desperately attached to, it felt like my life literally depended on this happening. I have worked over the past year to challenge this attachment again and again, & though it has diminished in power significantly, & I am finally moving forward with the divorce in acceptance, I am posting that regardless of knowing that the healthiest thing is to move on, & not wanting the attachment to be there, I know that that secret second agenda is still hanging out in the deepest coves of my genes- that’s how it feels. I want to be free of this attachment- truly free, not ‘free so that the energy will shift and then he will come back’. So I am posting this in order to expose it and seek support in challenging this attachment (& the myriad of FPs that are connected to the attachment). Thank you, Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you for sharing it has supported me to look deeper into attachment in my life.

I remember that Gary shared on the call that bringing your awareness to your interior dynamics so that you can chose how you want to be in the world and intervening consciously, you are doing this to bring your awareness to wholeness. In doing so, you will attract others with like energy into you life.

Your awareness of the fp of attachment and hearing the thoughts and feeling the pain as you challenge it in each moment is creating authentic power.

Hi Stephanie!

Realizing that I was believing frightened parts as true, when they were not true, was a powerful learning for me. And it was some of my spiritual partners who supported me in discovering this by asking… Is it possible you are believing frightened parts which are not true? In that particular situation I was believing fearful parts which felt overwhelmed and logical in thinking I could not take on another thing with a major house remodel underway. With their question, I decided to experiment and discovered I had more time and energy than I had been aware of. Another tool which has been helpful for me is to challenge frightened parts by doing the opposite of what they want to do. For example, if I (my frightened parts) are active and feeling, superior and detached, then I consciously shift my perspective to being present, attentive and grateful.

I congratulate you on posting this and opening yourself to your spiritual partners. I don’t know if this applies to you, but is it possible you are believing frightened parts which are not true?

With love… Cheryl

Hello Spiritual Partners, my intention for writing is to challenge a very deep frightened part of my personality. During our last call the attachment that came up for me is my FP attachment to feeling separate and unworthy. It feels like an addiction. The FP is active in me now. My energy feels heavy all over, my throat is extremely achy and tight, my upper arms feel like they are being squeezed tight, my jaw is tight, my heart has a deep ache, my solar plexus feels empty, my sacral feels clenched tight. My FP thoughts are slow, withdrawn, like “I don’t even care, who cares.” It seems impossible that I am truly connected, united, One. I feel tempted to just be by myself, withdrawn from the world, to disconnect my energy from everyone and everything….the FP wishes that was possible. My intention is to heal this FP that controls my life. That has me forget to extend love, have my heart wide open and live as if I am loveable, I belong, I am united and worthy. I can tell this FP is losing it’s grip on me, I can see it and feel it more clearly; however the FP doubt is strong that I will ever not get got in it’s grip. My LP is open to Trusting the Universe…that is the perspective I am doing my best to choose in this moment.
Love,
Kristen Richardson

Hi Kristen!
Thank you for sharing. I’m wondering how you were feeling right before those fps became so strong? Can you recall when you had felt Authentically Empowered before then. I’ll share my intention for asking.

It’s reminding me of an experience I had at the last Journey. There were moments I felt so connected to everyone and so clear… like truly a part of things. I had challenged fps that kept me separate from people in so many ways and I released the distance. Shortly before leaving the Journey, when I was feeling very close and integral with a group of Spiritual Partners, familiar fps came in, stronger than ever. It was terrifying! The fps felt invisible, flawed, unworthy, and so very distant from everyone–including myself. They were so convincing, even in that moment when I was aware. The sensations in my body were painful… mostly up in my chest and neck and across to my shoulders, like a ripping yet a tightening at the same time, shooting pain down my arms. I realized it was like an emotional shield, an electrical spark. I stayed with it and did not indulge the fears but it was so strong. It lessened but stayed with me about 2 weeks, never far away.

What I learned was that it was fps that Knew they were losing their grip on me, their ability to control me if I found my connection to others and realized my worthiness as an integral part to a group. (1-1 is okay but groups are especially scary to these fps). It was helpful for me to recognize when they showed up. It seems if I’m in a moderately connected place, they don’t have to be so strong. But when I am really ‘shining’ as my Authentic Self, they will come in and try to distract or stop me.

I’m still working on loving these fps and healing them. They do not want me to truly unite, connect, LOVE another person, especially a community. They want me isolated. But they are afraid. I don’t have to be. smile.

Thank you for sharing, Kristen. It was very supportive to me. In my remembering this experience and conveying it to you with the intention of support, I’m reminded how important it is to my Soul to connect with humanity and fellow Spiritual Partners. Thank you for giving me that opportunity.

With Love,
Amy
