S1E4 | Activity: Left-Handed Letters from Love

In this episode, Christine leads Hallie and David (and you) through an exercise in which we express our parts' concerns by journaling with our dominant hand and then respond from Love/Spirit/SELF with our non dominant hand.

Christine gives an overview of the many sources which use a similar method to access wisdom from Divine Source - Liz Gilbert's Letters from Love, The Morning Pages encouraged in The Artist's Way, Journal Speak developed by Nicole Sachs to heal chronic pain, Conversations With God by Neal Donald Walsh, and Spirit by Bob Falconer. Christine also talks about the influence of Jill Bolte Taylor's ideas in her book "Whole Brain Living," which made Christine wonder if our Self exists, or is at least channeled by, our right brain. She talks about the parallels between the parts and Self in IFS and JBT's "4 Characters" of the brain in this video.

Christine, Hallie, and David all do the exercise and share the responses they got from Love/Spirit/SELF as well as their experience using the exercise in the recent past. Check out our SLB Instagram account if you'd like to see the writing that came out of it for us.
