Hi Eric–got your note from Linked in….I haven’t been active in the forums since October. I just finished a 2month immersion program and it didn’t leave me much time to stay with the Journey Community. I also missed the call on Saturday – I thought there wasn’t a call bc I didn’t get an e-mail..
Thanks for reaching out..your e-mai made me get back in the swing of the forum. Been reading some of the discussions and it is powerful to be in this space. Looks like you are doing great work. Wishing you a wonderful holiday and new year celebration.

Hi Berta – well everyday is a challenge and some days I totally let my FP’s get the best of me. In answer to your question I have seen some loving parts emerge. I see clearly places over the past few weeks when an FP wanted to judge and I chose not to and instead chose to open my eyes wider and see if I could see past the judgement I had of the person – namely my boss or her boss….and when I did that I was able to see their FP’s. I looked at them carefully and instead of judging them, I listened to what they had to say with an open heart and it diffused the tension I previously felt. So some small steps.

I keep a log of when my FP’s act up and when I am able to challenge them and that really helps.

How are are doing with the Guidelines?

xoxo Rhea

Hi David,
My intention post Call #4 is to the notice the gap or find the space between my FP’s being triggered and having them react for me. When I am in that space to choose from the most loving part available. It worked beautifully on Monday and then I sorta forgot, or FP’s took over ; )

I was luckily reminded to get back on track when I received an email from a SP who told me the intentions she had set after Call #4. So lucky to have nice gentle reminders from the universe.

Thank you for your post, it reinvigorated my intention!

Thanks Patrice – I think this is the ticket for me right now- imagining what my life would be like if the FP’s were not active. Kind of like a creative visualization. I’m ready.

Hi David,
Thanks for your wonderful post. I felt very connected to it. I had a similar experience at a book signing I went to last Wednesday. I hadn’t read the book yet that I went to get signed and I realize in retrospect that frightened parts of my personality were very anxious as I stood in line waiting for my turn. They were trying to come up with something to say to him so he would think well of me. As the frightened parts scanned my brain looking for a comment by turn came. The author asked the people in line before me if they wanted the date as well as his signature. He didn’t ask me if I wanted a date on my page, which I really did. I was totally in the grip of my frightened parts. My heart had this to say. “I’ve been looking forward to reading your book all summer and your reading was hilarious.” But my heart didn’t get to speak. The author was talking to someone else as he scribbled his signature on my book, not paying attention to me in the least. He was saying to the other person, “I guess the reading was too short”, I only spoke for 15 minutes. And my frightened parts jumped in to caretake him and I said “Oh don’t worry about it, this is New York everyone has someplace else to be”. He didn’t acknowledge the comment or really even look at me he handed me my book and went on to the next person. And I left feeling dejected.

Up until the moment I read your post, my frightened parts have kind of been harboring some resentment against the author – thinking he wasn’t very nice. I wonder how I would feel if I had acknowledged my FP’s, used my courage to ask him to date my book and share with him my anticipation to read his book and how much I loved the reading. So thank you for opening my eyes to what was really going on with me. AND thank you to him for being a true spiritual partner for me.

Despite all this I am loving the book ; ) Rhea

Hi Eric,
Just wanted to loop back and let you know that the event I was scheduled to attend that was triggering my frightened parts got cancelled due to rain. I’ve been using your insights in my daily interactions – especially the one about my co-workers being perfect spiritual partners. So thank you!

Hi Eric,
I’ve been trying to use this forum more because each time I do, I have such great results. I read through your posts about being single for 7 years and I wanted to thank you because what you wrote really shined a light on the frightened parts I have about dating. I have been single for about 2 years and only been on a few dates. Until I read your post, I had a lot of reasons why I haven’t gotten into a relationship and now I see clearly that the “reasons” are really just frightened parts that I have labeled reasons. I think now it is time for me to name each of these and become acquainted with them and choose to act from a loving part of my personality when they arise again. And who knows what will happen next. Thanks again! Rhea

Eric and David thank you so much for your support. It never occurred to me that beating myself about failing was another frightened part. You are so right that feeling that and choosing to move next from a loving part of my personality is an option. I’m so glad that I am using this forum, it is really like being at the journey. I feel so supported and guided. Thank you both!

Hi Lori, Thanks for your post. I can’t remember if I could feel the pain during the episode I described. I know the pain I feel when I think about it or when I prepare to go into a situation when I feel FP’s will be activated and it is in my chest. It is so difficult for me to stay present. Now that you have pointed this out, I am setting the intention to stay with the sensations in my body when FP’s arise. Thanks again for your support, it feels wonderful.

I had the pleasure of meeting with two SP yesterday over tea and it was transformative. It helped illuminate FP’s and brought me back to the path I learned on the Journey. I can’t stress how wonderful it felt to be back on the path and to be supported.
