How to Balance High Vibes and Deeper Emotions: An IFS Perspective

How to Balance High Vibes and Deeper Emotions: An IFS Perspective

Welcome back to the channel! I'm Conor, and today I'm diving into a thoughtful question from one of you. Though the question was publicly posted, I'll keep the name private.

The question is about finding balance on "down days." How do we cheer ourselves up with positive affirmations or self-care without ignoring the parts of us that feel anxious, sad, or lonely? There's a part of the questioner that just wants to "raise their vibration" and avoid ruminating on negative feelings. But is this approach inadvertently keeping those feelings in exile?

In this video, I'll explore this from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspective. We'll look at the concept of Self-energy, the calm, curious, and compassionate state at the core of our being, and how it interacts with the various parts of our system. I'll discuss the balance between engaging with high-vibe parts that help us feel good and the importance of listening to and integrating the parts of us that are struggling.

It's not about choosing one side over the other but about understanding the value of both and finding harmony within. We'll also touch on the concept of polarization, where parts are at odds and need our Self-energy to mediate and bring them together.

Whether you're familiar with IFS or new to the model, this video offers insights into creating more peace and spaciousness in your internal world, allowing all parts to be seen, heard, and valued.

If you have a question, feel free to ask! I'm looking forward to seeing you in the next video.
