Beautiful piece, Kaira, so powerfully connecting internal and external healing.
Thank you for sharing from the Discourse on the 8 Realizations of Great Beings. It's so helpful to remember these foundational Buddhist teachings that point us in the direction of compassionate action. And that poem at the end, just extraordinary.
Hi Kaira! 👋🏾 I love IFS, especially that Richard Schwartz names the Self as a bodhisattva in “No Bad Parts”. Thank you for sharing it in relationship to our current political moment. And welcome to Substack!
Such truth and wisdom here! Thank you for lifting your voice. I *always* feel met, challenged, and nourished thru your teachings! A deep, wholesome bow, Harriet
As James Baldwin writes in the Fire Next Time, “I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.” And shame. Shame avoidance needs unconditional neutral regard. It needs faithful rituals of release from blame. How do we create that? I believe it’s something Jesus demonstrated. Thank you so much for being here Kaira Jewel!
Oh what an exquisite reflection. I just found your work. Oh my. As a seasoned psychotherapist and spiritual practitioner, I resonate deeply with how you weaved together a deep analysis about what is happening right now, IFS , and spirituality. Thank you for this wise reflection.
Yes, we may get hurt,
yet may we not be pushed to
hurt them, or to hate.
...
Yes, it may be hard,
yet may we try to listen,
even to love them.
...
Them is us when lost,
when misguided, when asleep,
when disoriented.
