Dear Sara, I loved reading what you shared. It’s so beautiful to hear how you recognized what you were feeling and chose a loving part of your personality. I go through similar experience where I would rather just hide than deal with how I’m feeling. And at the end of the day it is about how we value yourselves, you are absolutely right about that. I feel a loving part of my personality come out as I read what you wrote and I can envision myself challenging frightened parts of my personality. How has your journey been since then? Thank you for sharing. With love, |

Dear Cindy, How beautiful to hear all that you’re grateful for and I too am very encouraged by Linda and Gary’s words. Which event have you attended or will be attending? Are you becoming more in tune with your body? How has that experience been for you? With Love, |

Hi Ame-Lia, Thank you for your insight and feedback. So much has happened since I posted this entry. At the time, I was challenging a frightened part of my personality by allowing myself to be vulnerable and to allow myself to be loving and caring. The frightened part was that I didn’t think I was worthy of another person’s affection. And since then I have learned that I was attached to an outcome just as you mentioned. Over the past month I learned so much about loving and accepting myself, about letting of attachment to outcome, and most importantly allowing what is meant to be to be. If a person I am interested in does not reciprocate then that is OK. Instead of needing to control an outcome, I trust that everything is happening as it should be. Of course I feel and hurt and I allow myself to feel my emotions but I also recognize there is a bigger picture and I trust that something better will eventually make it’s way to me. Lastly and most importantly for me, I am learning about myself, about loving myself, and about what I want and what I don’t want. I am responsible for how I set the example of how others treat me. That was a huge step for me. I learned what to allow and what to let go of, all in a loving way and without judgement to the other person. I can now feel compassion towards a person that can’t meet my needs (previously I would have accommodated and “tried” to make things work out) and yet loving set boundaries. I believe my journey unfolded exactly the way it should have. I learned so much through this relationship and it all happened gradually, like stepping stones. The way that I know I am responding from a loving or frightened part, for me, is by recognizing my intention. If my intention is to hold back and put walls around myself then I know I am in a frightened part of my personality. If my intention is to express a feeling that I am currently experiencing then I recognize a loving part of my personality and allow it. How do you recognize if you’re in a loving or frightened part of your personality? Thank you for your insights. With love, Souha |

Hi Roxanne, Yes part of the fp are wondering what the other person is thinking. The last sentence is just saying that I am putting myself out there even though I know fp will come up. Previously I used to avoid being vulnerable and keep myself at a distance. Now I challenge it and I allow how I feel in a loving moment to come out even though I will have to deal with fp after. Love, |

Hi Roxanne, Reading through you sharing, and specifically the statement “playing games on my ipad as I watch tv” and “I have a deep heaviness/pressure over my entire heart area” have registered with me and awoken me. I also watch tv and play on my lap top and while I’m doing that I feel a sense of tightness in my chest. What I am realizing now is that I am allow fp of my personality to practice avoidance and yet the pain surfaces anyway. What I plan to do going forward is to challenge the fp of my personality that wants avoidance and to just sit with my emotions. I know from pervious experiences that once I sit with the pain, it starts to subside and I can return to loving parts of my personality. Thank you so sharing. Love, |

Hi Kristen, Thank you for having the courage to share your experience. I have read and reread your experience because it resonates with me. What a beautiful awareness, to have the opportunity to witness something with a beginners mind. I’ve been going through a similar experience. When my FP are activated and the pain comes up, my initial reaction is to avoid it or numb it. Earlier this week I felt so much pain, it felt like my throat, chest, and solar plexus were all made of stone. I noticed that I wasn’t sitting with the pain and at a sub conscious level I was finding anyway possible to avoid being with the pain. Fortunately I was able to challenge the FP that wanted me to avoid. I sat with the pain, without judgement, and felt it and allowed it to just be. Eventually, I felt the intensity dissipate. The FP’s and pain are recurring and I believe it’s to provide me with practice. I’ve been accessing my LP’s and viewing even my FP’s as blessings. With love, |
