8 Qualities of the Self-Energy

The dynamics of Self-Energy

There is agreement among the worlds esoteric traditions that such a state exist in us. And most of those traditions, however, messages suggest that language is an adequate to capture this concept of self. That may be so, but because different people describe similar experiences and displays similar qualities when in that state, we can describe aspects of those experiences and qualities. To clarify this discussion, I find it useful to differentiate between while people report while meditating,——while being in reabsorbed into the ocean—and what people are like when their Self (Energy) is actively leading their everyday life, while being in a separate wave of the ocean. — Dick Schwartz.

Self (Energy) often gets obscured and hidden by the distress and conflicts produced by inner parts. Psychotherapeutic improvement occurs as the Self is able to separate from these parts and interact with them in a compassionate manner. When we are Self-led it is easier to negotiate new roles for inner critics and heal the wounds of younger parts burdened by the residue of past distressing experiences.

IFS offers innovative ways to increase access to Self and work with inner critics as well as other parts that have a role in producing and maintaining specific symptoms. Emotion regulation skills can also be enhanced through IFS interventions. — Dr. Charles Bonner
