IFS

The Fragile one,
crippled in the closet
fetal position
afraid
alone
eyes filled with tears

ABANDONED

broken promises led to a lack of faith
an absence of trust in the Self.

I embraced her
as her tears soaked our face
she knew why I had come

her thoughts echoing off the white sterile walls

why should this time be any different?
i've heard your empty words before...
LOOK AT ME
you have forgotten me
locked me up
threw away the key
and posted Guard outside the door

-

The Guard,
standing at attention
should anyone get too close.
Silent
Stiff
Somber

ordered here to keep the peace
instead all that was created was Resistance

I asked the guard to step down
to understand the need for the fragile one to be let out of her cell

In return, the Guard was asked,
Are you ready?

The better question is, am I done suffering?

-

The Saboteur,
Feet up
Laughing as he witnesses what is taking place
Sly
Lazy
Destructive

preoccupied with extinguishing the flames
the cause of the fire is thought to be lost

All he does is laugh,

I need some sex.
Wanna smoke a bowl?
I need a cigarette.
Shot of liquid courage?
Just one more...

just one...
one
more
distraction



This is a very effective way for one to begin healing, or even for one to target specific 'parts' of themselves that may be hindering them or even creating duality within themselves.

Personally, this has provided me with an awareness into where I need to direct more healing in regards to my own resistance towards healing. I have facilitated many close friends through Shamanic healing sessions that struggle with their resistance towards healing. Together we have discussed at lengths what the cause may be. What we are getting out of not healing. And what need is being fed by not healing.
My first session with IFS has opened my eyes to how deep my seed is planted and what agreements were made that set certain beliefs systems into motion. The session very much reminded me of an Inner Body Journey. Empowering the Self. Enabling a Self-Led healing process.

an excerpt of I AM a Child of the Universe

I AM a Child of the Universe
My life I co-create
with other me-s who walk this path
to find a Heaven-gate.
I AM the Path of Peace.

All beings are my teachers, nature is my school.
The moon is my reflection,
the heavens are my home;
the suns and galaxies, my true expression;
I AM whispered in atoms and particles.
In stars I AM the Light.

I AM a Child of the Universe.
The word of Truth I speak.
I find my home within my heart
I AM the Word of Peace.

In Truth I touch the heart strings of All That Is.
My spirit goes where my body cannot.
My heart knows what my brain cannot behold
and I find the Universe written in my heart.
All is who I AM.

I AM a Child of the Universe.
I dance and sing and play.
Asleep I learn of who I AM
and laugh throughout the day.
I AM the Song of Peace
