Deep dives

The Journey from Mind to Heart

The concept that the most significant journey we undertake is from the mind to the heart emphasizes a shift in perception. It highlights the idea that profound insights and healing often lie not in grand escapades, but in a deeper internal exploration that can be only a few inches away. This journey encourages individuals to connect with their bodily experiences and intuitive self, suggesting that the essence of who we are is accessible through embodying our thoughts and feelings. Thus, this journey invites a holistic approach to understanding ourselves beyond mere cognitive processes.

In this episode of Going Inside: Healing Trauma From the Inside Out, I’m joined by Dr. Laura Patryas, an expert in the intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and non-duality. Together, we explore how these two approaches can deepen our understanding of healing from the inside out.

Below are the 8 F’s of Dr. Laura's Nondual IFS:

1. Feel—Tune into the bodily felt sense of your inner parts, energies, thoughts and emotions with tenderness. Naming them can help. Stay here as long as feels natural.

2. Feel-through—Inquire "Am I this part, thought, emotion, sensation?" Sense the presence that remains when each part is felt-through deeply. This helps uncover your true Self.

3. Field—Open to all parts from the spacious field of Self's awareness that underlies all experiences, thoughts, and sensations.

4. Friend—With unconditional friendship, attune to and embrace even extreme parts, listening to their stories and core beliefs.

5. Flow—Sense the Self harmonizing and flowing with different energies, allowing the paradox of individuality and oneness.

6. Fluid—Notice the fluid boundaries and lack of separation between Self and parts, inner and outer.

7. Freedom—As integration unfolds, feel the freedom of open, peaceful flow within the universal field.

8. Fulfilment/Fullness—Experience the richness of this present moment without craving any other state
