IN THIS LESSON

Lesson 1: Opening the Doors Within
Before we can connect deeply with others, we must first understand and connect with ourselves. This foundational lesson introduces the concept of the four dimensions—mental, emotional, soul, and physical—and explores how each serves as a unique door to our inner world. The videos in this lesson spark awareness and invite you to reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, helping you deepen your understanding of how these dimensions shape your relationships.

Lets Reflect

Journal Prompts for the Mental Dimension

  • What is the story I tell myself about my role in relationships (e.g., caretaker, fixer, pleaser)? Where did this narrative come from?

  • Reflect on a moment in a past or current relationship where I felt the need to defend myself or prove my worth. What does this reveal about my inner child’s needs?

  • What beliefs about love and connection did I absorb from my family or early experiences? How do these beliefs influence my relationships today?

  • If my inner child could speak, what would they say they need most from me right now?

Practice:Identify the Narrative

  • Write down the primary story you tell yourself about your role in relationships (e.g., “I have to fix things” or “I am hard to love”).

  • Find a quiet space and close your eyes. Visualize your younger self.

    • Ask them: “What do you need from me right now?” Write down their response without judgment.

    • Reflect on how this need influences your thoughts and behaviors in relationships today.
