* The heart (Self, Amness,) does not speak. It’s being present, it’s an act, a vibration you’re sending from within.
* What voice do they listen to? All the voices are you but they’re coming with different perspective and different experiences so choose wisely.
* Are you always suppose to be in Self or Amness ? The natural state of the mind is neutral (present) just as the bodies natural state is naked but when it gets cold or hot it needs to be covered. Same as Self or Amness thoughts are going to rush to block out or cover presence because of your experiences. Are you able to be aware of your thoughts and experiences and grow from them. (It’s a practice and Journey) Playfulness: Approaching life with a light-hearted attitude and finding joy in exploring ourselves
* 4 stages of growth- 1) doing not aware of doing it. 2) Aware of it but you can’t help yourself. 3) Aware of it but don’t do it. 4) No habit any longer.
* Self like part, it’s thinking and talking to you about being present and being aware of the moment. Self-consciousness vs Self- awareness.
* Does the model help people be able get through emotional challenges faster? Yes, starting off talking to your parts verbally, to internally then finally through being present or the Core.
* How do you get the benefits of self awareness? Mental and emotional breakthroughs. (Seeing mental blockages mental and emotional patterns) Seeing and understanding why you act,react, and plan to or proactively do the things you do.
* Thoughts and parts both the same come in and go. Both you can let roll past and not cling to, compassionately being aware and coming back to it later.
* What do we do if people want us to be authentic but still criticize us when we are or don’t know how to take our authenticity? Instead of shutting down completely, believing they get none or all, learn your audience. For some people they want authenticity from us but they can only handle it in spurts, until they are capable of handling more and more. Others can handle full authenticity and take what we deliver to them.
* Have you ever sat in a room full of people and felt utterly alone? It’s not the absence of others that creat loneliness, but the relentless voice in your head that keeps you isolated from the present moment. That voice convinces you that something is missing. That you need to be different, that others don’t truly see you. It wraps you in a web of thoughts cutting you off from the deep connection you crave. “Not only with others but with yourself.”
* How do you get past the thoughts of what could happen, or how show I act when I’m around people? The mind or Parts wants to control and know what’s going to happen and even plan for the unexpected to make it expected. Presence is the best practice for this, not to over think nor under thinking also going with the flow of presents.
* How do I stop over evaluating myself and performance of self awareness? Understand that it’s a journey not a destination. Some days you going to have good days, sometimes you’ll have bad days. But know it’s not a performance it’s a lifestyle and life is not a thing to be grasped but something to be experienced.
* What if I can’t stop overthinking? Understand, Parts are flooding you. Asking parts to step back so you can be present but that always doesn’t work because of their fears and worries, you could also remember these are only thoughts and their main objective is protection of you. They are bringing all kinds of thoughts from the past and future and you can let them come and then go as you’ve practiced not cloning to them. or ask to be excused and take a moment and talk to your parts as a round table discussion or meditation and allowing the thoughts to be heard, but you observe them and not become them.
* What does it mean when people say I wish we had more time or give me your time? Sometimes planning days together is meant, also when you are together with them be present with them and not preoccupied with other things or thoughts or things you have to do. People need connection, love,respect, understanding, peace, kindness during interactions.
* How do I show up for others? Fist you have to be able to show up for your pats and understand why they are acting and reacting to situations, as your perspective changes about yourself then your perspective will change about others helping you to show up in a genuine way that’s not forced.
* How do I bring out my inner child? Guiding it gently from your core (Self, Amness, heart) and let it know you’ll be right there if it gets scared or Embarrassed (being aware what’s going on while being child like blinded) but making room for it to come out in situations until or as you get comfortable showing that part of you. Accepting what comes with it.
* My inner critic is tearing me down. There are no bad parts, all parts or thoughts even are trying to do a job but we have to understand the role it’s playing.
* How do I be in Self? Self isn’t a state of mind, it’s a presence. Presence, it’s actual yourself or who you are when all parts give space for you to be present. Aming is being aware of what’s going on inside of you without being overwhelmed.
* what if I lost that part of me that has imaginations? Seeing things how you don’t want to see them or even how you want to see them is imagination. Visualization during meditation helps a lot because you’re in a state of mind where you creat your world.
* Do you care or overthink about what other people think of you?
* Are you aware that other people aren’t aware of what’s going on within you?
* Do you know how your actions good or bad impact other people?
* Do you hold tight to what people did to you or what you did to people?
* Do you live this life for yourself? Not noticing how you’re impacted by your own life?
