💬 A Session with Thyself

1. Ground yourself
   • Begin by pausing in and settling into the space you are in. Take some deep breaths. Notice the room around you. Ground your awareness in the present and access spaciousness if possible.
2. Share Content
   • Let Thyself know what challenge is coming up for you.
3. Explore the situation
   • Speak about the challenge in terms of story, thoughts, and feelings coming up around it. This helps you tune in further to the situation.
4. Drop in
   • Notice where in your body you are noticing sensations after speaking to this challenge. It can be in multiple locations, showing up in multiple ways.
5. Explore the sensations
   • Choose one sensation and get curious. What is this sensations like? Are is dense? Hot, cold? If you visualized it, does it have a color?
6. Inquire Gently
   • What is the sensation trying to say? What emotion, story, or belief is it holding? It can (but doesn’t have to) be correlated with a part.
7. Stay with the sensation
   • Breathe into the sensation and just hold it in your open, loving awareness. Let go of any expectations for it to change in any way. It may shift, it may not. New content may come up, or it may not. Strong emotions may arise. You may want to explore the protector or exile part related to it. Just stay patiently with the sensation and let Thyself know what’s going on for you.
