Get To Know Your Parts: Internal Family Systems Guided Meditation
In this guided meditation, you will gently explore your inner world using Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful approach to self-awareness and healing. You’ll begin by grounding yourself in a state of calm and openness, allowing space for curiosity and self-compassion. As you settle in, you’ll be invited to connect with one of your protector parts—a part of you that has worked hard to keep you safe, often by managing emotions, avoiding pain, or maintaining control. Through mindful inquiry, you’ll listen to this protector with kindness, understanding its fears and intentions without judgment.
Once trust is established, the meditation will guide you deeper to meet one of your exiled parts—a younger, more vulnerable part of you that holds old wounds, emotions, or beliefs that may have been pushed away. With the support of your protector and your compassionate presence, you’ll offer this exiled part the care and reassurance it has long needed. This journey allows you to build a bridge between these parts of yourself, fostering inner harmony and self-acceptance. By the end of the meditation, you’ll feel more connected, integrated, and empowered in your healing process.
