Doing The Work (Part 4): Meeting The Self | Jake Haber

As we conclude our series Doing The Work, we arrive at a surprising realization: perhaps all of the healing, reflection, emotional awareness, and courageous inner work has not been about becoming someone new — but about uncovering who we truly are underneath it all. This week, we explore the idea of the “Self” through spirituality, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).   Quotes:   “I am conscious of a certain doubleness by which I can stand as remote from myself as from another.” — Henry David Thoreau   “I contain multitudes.” — Walt Whitman   “You are the sky. Everything else—it’s just the weather.” — Pema Chödrön   “Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky.” — Thích Nhất Hạnh   “Thoughts are like passing clouds. Feelings are like passing weather. Neither defines the vastness of what you are.” — Adyashanti   “The beauty of the Self is that it is already there. It just gets eclipsed… The Self is in everybody. It can’t be damaged and it knows how to heal… Self is not a part. Self is the essence of who you are…” — Richard Schwartz

Doing The Work (Part 3): Triggers & Thorns | Jake Haber

In Part 3 of Doing the Work, we explore the tender places inside us that get activated by triggers, irritation, jealousy, embarrassment, and conflict. Rather than seeing our reactions as failures, this message invites us to treat them as pointers toward deeper self-understanding, healing, and freedom.   We look at how childhood wounds and core unconscious beliefs can shape our reactivity, and how awareness creates space between what happens to us and how we respond, leading us down a path of healing and self-discovery.   Quotes:   “ If you think you are enlightened, go and spend a week with your family.” — Ram Dass   “Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear… are moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back.” — Pema Chödrön   “Anything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” — Carl Jung   “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor E. Frankl   “Avoidance is the best short-term strategy to escape suffering, but the best long-term strategy to guarantee suffering.” — Steven Hayes   “The work of mindfulness is not to create a perfect life. It is to help us meet an imperfect life with greater presence and less resistance.” — Jon Kabat-Zinn
