Loch Kelly, IFS trained psychotherapist and meditation leader, discusses accessing Self in therapy, unique meditative approaches, and finding inner peace. He emphasizes asking 'Who is aware?' and leads a meditation on problem-free awareness. The conversation touches on recognizing Self-like parts and promotes self-awareness and compassion in therapy.
Accessing the essence of self is recognizing it as inherent and not created.
Managing polarizations involves observing parts from a spacious perspective and shifting towards subtle energies.
Deep dives
Discovering the Essence of Self
Lock Kelly discusses the process of accessing the essence of the self, emphasizing that self is already inherent and not created, sharing insights on differentiating self from parts and accessing self energy.
Navigating Polarizations and Parts
Kelly delves into techniques for managing polarizations within oneself, guiding listeners to step back from identified parts and observe those parts from an aware and spacious perspective, facilitating shifts towards subtle body energies and interconnectedness.
Exploring Self-Led Consciousness
Kelly explores the concept of being self-led versus parts-led, highlighting the distinct experiences and qualities associated with embodying and operating from self-led consciousness, emphasizing the importance of self-led approaches in healing and awakening processes.
Practical Exercises for Self-Exploration
Kelly shares practical exercises, such as the 'What is here when there's no problem to solve' inquiry, encouraging listeners to engage in self-exploration, expand awareness beyond parts, and cultivate a deeper connection with the inherent and loving nature of self.
On today's episode, I chat with Loch Kelly, an IFS trained psychotherapist, a well known meditation and awakening leader, author of 2 incredible books, and all around super amazing, warm and friendly person.
Loch's approach to accessing Self is different then Dick's, and Loch suggests asking the F's, which we normally ask of parts, to one's Self.
Loch teaches us to ask: Who is aware and Who is the one asking?
Loch explains and then leads us in a meditation around, "What is here when there is no problem to solve?" You will find a copy of this in its own podcast to listen to on repeat when necessary.
