I am having the opportunity to really feel fps that got triggered when I said what I needed to say to one of my adult children. I felt I was in my integrity in sharing with this daughter what I was noticing in her… a familiar fp that is very critical, abrupt and judgmental. One that has cost her work opportunities in the past. What surprised me was the pain I felt in my heart/chest, crushing constriction, and tightening in my throat when she responded in anger. My fps alarm started going off saying… “Look what you’ve done, she won’t trust or like you. You’ve damaged your relationship.” At the same time I knew clearly I would not have been in my integrity had I said nothing and ignored what I was sensing. What an opportunity to feel deeply fps that want to be liked and feel safe (not rock the boat).

With love… Cheryl

Hi John R,
I sure relate to staying busy, busy. Now I consciously take more time to be still and aware. Aware of my surroundings, notice what I’m feeling in my body, what my thoughts are. It grounds and opens me. What do you feel in your body when you are still? With love… Cheryl

Hi John R,
I continue to find feeling what’s under the desire/compulsion to eat, drink, etc. to take me to the roots of the addiction. What is it I don’t want to feel? Unworthiness was certainly at the root. What don’t you want feel?

Hi Joan,
Using the tools of creating authentic power have indeed shifted me from self judgment to curiosity and willingness to experiment. Love let’s me see and feel with awareness, but without the judgment. Love… Cheryl

Hi Joan and Jaye,
I have had an addiction to alcohol which I used to stay numb. Through the process of creating authentic power I have been excavating the layers/roots my frightened parts didn’t want to see and feel. Self judgment and unworthiness are the core of what I found. What a powerful opportunity you have here to go deep and pull up the roots of your addictions, actions. What are your roots?
With love… Cheryl

Dear Doug and Sundar,

Thank you for your sharings. I am aware of frightened parts in me that like to be told what to do. I have discovered however, that doing my own work ( asking my guides and teachers for insight, trusting, experimenting) is what I came here to do. What are you discovering from your insights, guides and teachers?
With love and trust… Cheryl

Roxanne,
A beautiful ah ha with your insight! What do you feel in your body when your heart is open to your sister-in-law? How do you see her?
Love… Cheryl

Hi Roxanne,

Thank you for this sharing. What a powerful opportunity to challenge your fps. My understanding of the acceptance lens is that you open your heart. How might you open your heart to your sister-in-law?
With love… Cheryl

Hi Doug! Thank you so much for sharing. I too have fps that don’t want to accept things I don’t like or approve of. How might your loving parts challenge the fps in you that judge and don’t accept the things they don’t like or approve of? I am finding experimenting helpful to me. Just the act (intention) of experimenting opens me to new possibilities. It shifts me away from “trying to do it right” to being creative, to using my intuition.
With love… Cheryl

Hi Soula! What is resonating with me is opening my heart… to my husband, others I would judge and try to change and to myself. A specific action I am going to experiment with is opening my heart to him around the TV. Rather than judge him negatively for watching it, I am going to open my heart to the pleasure, learning, appreciation he has in watching the programs he chooses and see what I learn about myself.
Thank you for your support and partnership!
With love… Cheryl

Thank you for your sharing Lisabeth. Its the opening my heart that feels significant to me and is what I am going to experiment with. When I opened my heart to my husband… where he was in terms of energy and how he wanted to spend his time, I felt love, connection and grounded.
With love… Cheryl

Kristen, it was the openness, love, almost joy that I was feeling in my body that told me I was on to something in connecting with my husband where he was at … his feelings, his needs. I related his needs to my needs. I could connect to them.

With my husband especially, I am more tolerant than accepting. My fps judge his time spent watching TV negatively. I feel pressure in my chest/heart and clenching in my solar plexus saying that. And I also have experienced acceptance with him. When he first told me he wanted to downsize I had all sorts of fps parts become active… We just remodeled, let’s enjoy it. What will I do without my garden? etc. But I decided to open myself to the big picture and what came to me was acceptance of where he was in his life at age 75, his energy level, what he wanted to do with his time. My heart felt open, I felt grounded, present. I am going to use these two very different experience… judgement/tolerance… wanting to change him and openness/acceptance… seeing, accepting, loving where he is presently, as guide posts in learning about myself.

Hi Diane,
Good to be on the on-line live chat with you Sunday. I relate to your above comment about your photo not being your favorite and then seeing the perfection of it. I am grateful for the awareness creating authentic power is giving me. I can choose to use my energy in not liking something, like a picture of myself or choose to take that reaction as an opportunity to learn about myself, especially noticing what I’m feeling in my body ( my frightened parts don’t like doing that) and then choosing from my healthiest parts. For me this is an exciting experiment!
With love… Cheryl
