Triggered by your last conflict? ✨This new free track might help. A 9 min guided meditation that uses breath, a body scan and guided parts work/IFS questions to go inward, reduce overwhelm, calm the nervous system. #conflict #meditation #partsWork #InternalFamilySystems insig.ht/85KXciL7v6b
After A Conflict: A Parts Work Approach For Calm And Clarity | Insight Timer
This is a brief guided exercise to use after a conflict. It uses breath, a body scan and guided questions to go inward, reduce overwhelm, calm the nervous system and identify emotions and parts that are present. We then witness and support wounded parts to gain clarity about the conflict which will hopefully help you navigate it from a more grounded, adult self place. You can do this exercise alone, or with others as a mutually supportive process. It can be done seated, lying down, or even while walking. There are pauses during this exercise, but feel free to hit pause if you need more time along the way. This track uses concepts from mindfulness, and parts work, also known as Internal Family Systems theory. It is under 10 minutes long. Music is included in the guided meditation part of the recording.

"In sum, Carney seems to be planning to sell off public infrastructure we need to help fund private infrastructure we don’t—with our money covering the risk, while investors make off with the profits."
Mark Carney says his glitzy investment summit will attract major capital to Canada. But as Nikolas Barry-Shaw & Martin Lukacs write, what Carney may be putting on the table is Canada itself—and a fire-sale of the country’s essential public infrastructure. breachmedia.ca/mark-carneys...

As wildfires burn across Canada, the Carney government is plowing ahead with plans to list a West Coast tar sands pipeline as a "project of national interest." Use 350 Canada's online tool to flood the public consultation before September 18! share.nwmd.social/s/fANW1jNj

There has never been a crime against humanity so blatant, so well-documented and so utterly irrefutable as the #GazaGenocide and yet the perpetrators continue on their murderous course with impunity.
So glad i caught Trip to the Cottage by the late Stuart McLean on @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social this civic holiday morning. Such clever storytelling. Made me think about how much I miss The Diamond Lane. Can someone bring that out of the archives?

These efforts began in February 2025 after I published Find IDF Soldiers, a database that now contains profiles of 206 Canadians who have joined the Israeli military. It hasn’t stopped since. I detail what it looks like, and who is involved. www.readthemaple.com/i-asked-peop...
