hello folks
"hello"
am i doing too much?
"no"
thank you
am i living my life yet?
"yes"
am i avoiding life?
"yes. its natural."
i'm filled with grief?
"yes. feel the grief the way you settle into your sit bones. be comfortable with it and your other feelings. let the feelings flow up. there's no need to push feelings down. that's when we avoid life. and another way is by not getting done what we know must be done."
thank you
"and remember what you've learned about dissolving. practice mindfulness and nature will take care of you. we're always here. just ask for us."
thank you
"you're welcome. and remember, be mindful of your center."

written dialogue
inner dialogue can be very informative and illuminating. it is much easier to keep the thread of the communication when it's written. the paper serves to hold the space, so you are free to be alternately the interviewer and the transcriber for the part with whom you are communicating. here are the steps for written dialogue with the folks:
1. write a brief sentence stating the condition or situation you wish to ask about.
2. get connected with the folks as in the process above.
3. write: hello, folks (no quotation marks for your own words).
4. make an open quotation mark ("), write the response, and close quotes (").
5. from your own point of view, write: is it okay to ask some questions?
6. write an open quotation mark ("), write the response, and close quotes (").
7. after each response, write: thank you, or thank you very much.
8. write your first question, ending with a question mark (?).
9. make an open quotation mark ("), write the response, and close quotes (").
10. write a follow-up question, asking for more specifics, with a question mark (?).
11. make an open quotation mark ("), write the source's response, and close quotes (").
12. continue the dialogue, and when finished write: thank you very much.
