Adapted from William Baldwin. Bob says "This meditation was developed as a way for people to protect themselves from what Baldwin called Negative Energies. I believe it’s more effective than creating a boundary or a wall. Protectors tend to attract what they fear the most, and walls tend to do that, too. If you practice this meditation often, it can become a tool to quickly protect you from the energies you’re dealing with, however the very best protection is not being afraid, and this meditation can help us with that." Bob Falconer has worked with, taught, and consulted on IFS for over 14 years. He's recently published his latest book: The Others Within Us: Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spiritual Possession - on unattached burdens and guides.

Ruth Culver is a Level 3 trained, & certified IFS practitioner based in Brighton UK where she works with adults and adolescents, as well as offering experiential workshops and trainings both in person and online. Her systemic interest in trauma, attachment and resilience led to the creation of "The Survive/Thrive Spiral” - an info-graphic which maps the inter-relatedness of IFS and Polyvagal Theory. Two other IFS integrations have also emerged through her work: "Drawing into Self” which is a method for doing IFS though guided intuitive drawing; and "IFS Constellations” : a method for doing IFS through the somatic group resonance process of constellations.

Life will always have moments that are upsetting and distressing. In these moments, parts of us get activated, and try to do their best to help us cope. They buzz with anxiety, they try to fix, they focus on others or they find ways to numb us out. This meditation might be helpful in moments where you feel blended or taken over by a part. We hope you find it supportive.

This is an IFS meditation to get to know bodily pain or symptoms that have no structural cause. It is based on somatic tracking, a tool in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) that helps us observe pain and symptoms from a place of safety. IFS helps us get to this calm, compassionate place by taking care of the parts that are naturally worried about the pain. We then listen to the sensation and see what it is trying to teach us. To learn more about IFS and mind-body pain, here is an article by Manya. https://partsandself.org/what-can-physical-pain-teach-us/ More about Manya https://www.meetmanya.com/ Instagram Facebook linkedin

Amitayus Syzygy is an IFS Therapist from Phoenix, Arizona. He joins this episode of the parts party, sharing early experiences of loss, how thousands of hours of spiritual practices brought beautiful insights and experiences but ultimately did not change deep seated patterns in his relationships and how through Internal Family Systems he learnt to look after his own inner children, rather than hoping his partner could be responsible for their wellbeing. Amitayus brings a rich discussion about Self and Self-Energy to this episode that I am sure listeners will delight in.
