This is SO cool. I just tried a small meditative visual exercise using the IFS techniques described here and was able to call up unpleasant memories from childhood I almost never think about and wouldn’t dredge in just normal remembering

If you create a symbol that represents an aspect of self you can take wholly mental action on the symbol and influence the physical
