5 Minute IFS Practice to ACTIVATE SELF

For more https://internalfamilysystems.org/

Welcome back to the channel! In this video, I'm sharing a simple but effective practice to help you increase your self-energy—a core concept in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. If you're new here or not familiar with self-energy, think of it as mindfulness, presence, or simply being calm, curious, and compassionate.

This practice is perfect for both beginners and seasoned IFS practitioners. It's something I personally use every day, and I find it especially powerful to do in the morning before the busyness of the day begins. But don’t worry, you can use it anytime!

Here’s a quick overview of the practice:

1) When you wake up, take 5-10 minutes to close your eyes, place a hand on your chest and belly, and breathe deeply.

2) Focus on your body with gentle, loving awareness. Notice any sensations that arise, whether pleasant or uncomfortable, and simply accept them.
Allow your energy to flow naturally, giving space for self-energy to bloom and take the lead for the day.

3) This technique not only helps you ground yourself in the present but also gives parts of you a chance to relax and see your self-leadership come online. If you try it out, let me know how it goes by sharing in the comments—it could be helpful for others too!

Thank you for being here, and I’ll see you in the next video!
