In this episode of The Self Led Besties Podcast, David gently leads Hallie and Christine through three groups of exercises that act as inroads to Self Energy:

1.⁠ ⁠Presence
2.⁠ ⁠Awareness
3.⁠ ⁠Qualities of Self

You are welcome to join us in these experiences/experiments or just listen. At about the 46 minute marker, Christine and Hallie share for their parts' reactions to the exercises.

If you participate in the exercises, please share about your experience in the comment section. We'd love to hear from you!

In today's episode of the Self Led Besties Podcast, Hallie beautifully leads David and Christine through a meditation and journaling exercise of listening to activated parts and receiving compassion from a Self energy surrogate and our own future Self before offering compassion out to others.

After the exercise, Christine and David share about their activated parts and the messages they received from Self. Christine shares for parts activated by events in Minnesota and David shares for parts polarized around healing. In the spirit of experimentation on which our podcast is based, we tried offering just an audio experience with no edits for this episode.

There will be large gaps of silence in this video/audio so that you can follow along in the exercise with us. You are welcome to join us or forward and just listen to our experiences. This is an exercise you can come back to repeatedly whenever parts feel activated (see chapters if you'd like to access a specific part of the exercise).

If you do the exercise and would like to share what came up for you, please do that in the comments section. In this way, we can all be a community of compassionate with-ness for one another.
