Free IFS workshops with Sid Friedman

Spontaneous Unburdening Party

Tomorrow and on Sunday:

FREE EFFORTLESS IFS ZOOM WORKSHOPS INTEGRATING LOCH KELLY’S IFS SELF ESSENCE deeper into the IFS model.    

(Friday 12pm, Sunday 2pm EST -more Zoom dates to be added to this post)

This is an active participation experience tailored for those familiar with Loch Kelly’s IFS concept of Self Essence or Nondual Self.  Through facilitations and your Self Leadership, you may experience collectively welcoming many parts home to Self, spontaneous unburdening and a taste of Absolute Effortless Self Leadership. Resting in spacious Background Self, you may experience the nuisance of blending significantly decrease, polarities dissolve through your simultaneous viewing of the poles, and the deep relaxation of your collective parts as they become aware of and/or effortlessly met by Self’s ever-presence. All is offered for free in a spirit of mutual support and the celebration and co-creative exploration of edges of our beloved model with absolutely no self-promotion or marketing. (New York Time: Friday 2/18 12pm & Sunday 2/20 2PM).

(Personal note: seeking colleagues who are exploring the juncture of IFS and Self-Realization for dialogue, friendship and collaborate.)

Included in each Zoom experience if time permits:

* BLENDING DECREASES 50-90%: When viewed from spacious Self, the distraction and challenges of blended body sensations significantly decrease.

* SHIFTING FROM TARGET PART VIEW TO PANORAMIC OR WHOLE SELF VIEW: Practice shifting the view to enable being with or seeing multiple parts in one view and Self as ever-present background like a 360 degree planetarium view or your entire parts system in a photo.

* 6 F’S & UNBURDENING OCCURRING EFFORTLESSLY IN THE BACKGROUND:  Exiles and protectors are effortlessly met and held by Self and sometimes recognize themselves as Self.  Contractions, fixations and traumas can be spontaneously unburdened directly by and to Background Self (concept held until all is Self).

* DISSOLVING POLARITIES: When the poles are viewed simultaneously, the polarity cannot maintain. Caveat: as polarities (seen and unseen) inhibit the system’s flow, for many this simultaneous view increases the speed of IFS processing 2-10x … welcome to high speed IFS. We have found an IFS brake and gas peddle that can be explored if time permits.

* KNOWING ONE QUALITY OF SELF THAT IS TANGIBLY PRESENT 24/7: Once parts viscerally realize Self as always here, everything changes.

*OPENING TO SELF-LEADERSHIP / SELF-REALIZATION / AWAKENING: As Background Self becomes more and more pronounced, the sense of identification or “I” gradually begins to shift to Self. Alternatively, through practice seeing system as Foreground and Background — Foreground parts, Background Self, Foreground and Background become closer together or more intimate, and eventually they shift as to what is in the Foreground and ultimately there is no Background and Foreground.

* EXPLORE MULTIPLE MODALITIES FOR HOW SELF MEETS/WELCOMES/KNOWS PARTS WITHIN YOUR SYSTEM: Classic IFS applies Target Part mode. We have been exploring other modes including: Background Metaphor (below), Parts evoking Self Qualities (aka Nondual Nonviolent Communication, below), Theater (Self lovingly watching the show), Parts as Self (parts arise and look in mirror), Foreground Background Switch, and The Dance (all is Self).

* BACKGROUND METAPHOR MODALITY: IDENTIFYING AND APPLYING YOUR SYSTEM’S UNIQUE SELF TO PART METAPHOR: What is your metaphor/sense/feel for how your Self meets parts? Popular metaphors include sky, ocean, hot tub, womb, vibration, mist, galaxy, warmth and fragrance. A tangible metaphor for the interim supports awareness of Self’s ever-presence unconditionally and effortlessly welcoming a multiplicity of parts simultaneously.

* PARTS EVOKING SELF QUALITIES MODALITY (AKA NONDUAL NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION): Dive into experiencing/knowing the Self Qualities that are most prominent in your particular system. More Self Qualities fluency seems to provide more access. Our 8 C’s are a wonderful starting point with more qualities to follow.  Parts’ unmet needs/desires/longings effortlessly evoke like a vacuum nozzle the needed Self Quality. For those who know Nonviolent Communication (NVC), it is applying the effortless listening for parts’ unmet needs which activates the vacuum but the NVC Needs List is changed to your Self Qualities List (Loch Kelly calls these Self Essence). Some prominent additional Self Qualities frequently found include: Love, Safety, Welcoming, Ok-ness, Peace, Fulfillment, Tenderness, Patience, Equanimity, Ease, Flow, Ecstasy, Presence, Innocence, Home, Relief, Trust, Sanctuary, Joy, Here, Now, Care, Aliveness, Absolution, Perfection, Silence, Emptiness, Timelessness.
