Often when trying to heal our [[Parts]], using [[IFS]] or something else, we may find we have some access to [[Self]] but we're partially blended with our parts. [[Loch Kelly]] suggests that when we access [[Self-essence]], or pure Self, we have clearer access to the qualities of Self that help parts heal: [[Self-energy is healing]]. [[Self-essence can awaken parts]]. However, [[Self-essence can be unsettling for parts]]. See also: [[IFS doesn't facilitate access to Self-essence]].
