Newsletter #40: A podcast conversation in the forest🌳: Inviting all parts, also the ones you hated so far, to find joy

Good morning my dear

Imagine that you can step into any room, any conversation, any situation and just feel at ease.

Okay, let’s tune it down a little bit ;-), let’s imagine you can step into almost any room, any conversation and any situation and feel at peace and keep loving yourself, like all parts of you.

Because let’s be honest, that’s what you want: You want lightness, you want harmony, you want a calmness in you and around you and a sense of JOY.

Sounds like a light version of heaven…. and we are humans!

What I did not get for a very long time: I got so close to having fun and a bit of ease and showing up as full I could not have imagined before is that my next step will take me to very dark places within myself…

This part I had named a few years ago, I called her «the destroyer» and I’ve learnt a lot about her in the past weeks and months…

I wrote this line into my diary: I HATE HER.

It was great to be able to say that.

It’s okay, it’s understandable.

She did cost me SO much!

What saddened me the most were the relationships, she destroyed, that left me so sad, and included the relationship to myself for a good chunk of the last 25+ years.

I knew I had to live up to what I’ve learnt and cognitively understood: To appreciate all parts, to be kind to her, to listen why she is here, what she had served in the past… be curious about her goals and how she protected me. I sat down, I listened and hell was I surprised. She did quite a job back in the days!!!

A sudden rush of gratitude and lots of tears of relief…

Meeting her with curiosity and compassion, upleveled my internal dialogue and brought me self love.

So when I sat down at the beginning of this week with the wonderful, highly sensitive fellow coach, Sam Allan, I could just be at ease with anything.

We talked to her about my journey of opening my heart, slowing down and eventually inviting all parts and finding that I am both good and bad inside, basically I just am. I am a space, listen if this speaks to you and you are curious about what a HEARTGASM is 💛.

And we also talked about hands on needs, and how they allow us to connect, I thought you’d might enjoy our conversation in the forest 🌳:
