An Internal Family Systems Meditation to know and connect with parts, shared by Rebecca O'Calloghan.

Rebecca O'Callaghan is a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist based in Ireland. She shares her journey of understanding herself as a system of parts; from being a child who was conflicted with knowing she was both a 'good girl' and a 'bad girl', to studying Gestalt Therapy and being particularly drawn to the chair work and working with parts through this model. Rebecca discusses flow states and her deepening experiences of Self Energy, and how intellectual parts of her have loved the framework of IFS- putting words to what is known internally.

Laura is a spiritual teacher and IFS therapist, as well as a researcher and author with a PhD in psychophysics. She first encountered IFS ten years ago—by accident—when she mistakenly signed up for what she thought was a Family Constellations workshop. Instead, it turned out to be an IFS Constellations workshop, which helped her to powerfully connect with her grieving and anxious parts.

In this episode of the Parts Party, Laura shares some gorgeous examples of Self-Led parenting, the gift of psychedelics as part of her journey of knowing Self and gifts us with an eloquent exploration of Self, parts & ego.

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.

Manya Ronay is a Certified Level 3 IFS Practitioner and Certified Health Education Specialist. Originally from the USA and living in Israel, Manya shares openly about how her inner system has adapted to living in war time. We discuss parts that come up around eating and food, how time with family activates our parts and how chronic illness can show up with a message to slow down when manager parts really take over. Another beautiful conversation about learning to be Self-Led and the gift of IFS.

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.
