If you are interested in Voice Dialogue training and Self Awareness groups in Queensland Australia you can check out the latest news on

I also have other passionate interests that all have to do with personal growth and inner child work. Some of these are connected to but not directly related to Voice Dialogue. So  my articles about those topics won’t appear on this web site.  

Examples:

Go to  Love your Inner child and there's a special page where your own inner child can leave messages and ask questions.- That page is

http://www.love-your-inner-child.com/GIVE_YOUR_CHILD_A_
CHANCE TO TALK.htm

 

Go to  Core Beliefs Balance -  A web site devoted to balancing your hidden negative core beliefs and the clamps and blockages and over-reactions they cause in peoples lives

What’s this about  an “inner village”?


NOTE: Because this is my Voice Dialogue site, in most cases on this website you will notice I stick to well recognised voice dialogue terms to describe the inner selves, and explain how they protect us. I do however try to make my explanations easier to visualise by telling stories or fables to create a clearer picture in your mind.  

Some abstract voice dialogue descriptions are a bit difficult to visualise, for example the “primary inner selves that make up the operating ego”.  In my own world what goes on in my operating ego is so much like an old fashioned village that I have got used to describing my operating ego as my “inner village” and in these pages I often use that term. I hope it might help you also to visualise what is going on for you in your operating ego.

An interesting aspect to this is that when I dialogue with other people’s inner selves and I ask them about “life in your inner village” they often respond in a way that suggests they, as inner selves feel very comfortable talking about their daily work load and their responsibilities as if it was taking place in a familiar old and rather tradition bound village.

I imagine this is because most inner selves can’t quite get their busy minds around abstract psychological descriptions. What I have discovered is that the more I talk with them as members of an inner village the more this seems to help them develop their sense of character, and their ability to talk about their work more freely, which is one of the basic aims of voice dialogue. I have yet to talk with an inner self that tells me “Correction, I live and work in an operating ego not a village!”

Other people’s selves that I have dialogued with, live and work in an inner garden, an inner family, an inner tribe, an inner orchestra, an inner shop; an inner bus, on an inner ship, a train, an inner plane, an inner congregation. If visualising things this way helps people understand voice dialogue then I support the idea of letting your inner selves (as I allow mine to do) live wherever they want to, including an operating ego if that is their preference.  

The best way as with all aspects of voice dialogue is to discuss this question with a few inner selves and ask them to tell you how they best like to describe the place where they live and work.

* NOTE: 2 On this website I often use the terms “grown-up” and "aware Adult"  This is not the same as the "Aware Ego" as Hal and Sidra Stone describe it.

The "Aware grown-up part of us" reflects many of the characteristics of the selves Hal and Sidra might call the "Awareness Self" but in many people I work with it appears to have a more integrated energy. In many ways it is not the same energetically as the usual inner selves. As I see it, this part, our grown up aware adult self gives us a way of consciously connecting with our self empowerment, and self-awareness. Talking with that part and addressing it as the  “grown-up self” helps find out more about what roles that grown-up part plays in each individual as we dialogue with them.

It also helps us identify what tasks a grown-up part is ready to take over from the usual polarised selves, to help protect the inner child and underlying vulnerability.

 

There is bit of a problem with the term “ego” in Australia because down here it has so many different connotations and different meanings for individual people (most of them negative). For this reason I don’t often make a direct reference to the “aware ego” by that name.  

Some people have suggested that’s also because I still haven’t developed much of an aware ego of my own.

I will leave it to you to make that judgement for yourself.

Free Inner Self Profile Sheet

For many years I have been using an Inner Self profile sheet that allows you to keep a visual record of your inner selves as you meet and talk with them. There are different places for different kinds of selves on the sheet according to their different energies or the different ways they do things to protect you.

If you would like a free copy of the latest version of this Profile sheet please send me an email. Click the link. Please include the header FREE INNER SELF PROFILE (Sorry ....I have no idea why but Comcast will not permit me to reply to any Comcast e-mail address.

My 2009 websites - each one dealing with a different topic

My 2009 Flagship site
The latest information on voice dialogue - a powerful tool for growing self-awareness, self empowerment, self-healing and the Key to Balancing your Life..This site explains voice dialogue and self awareness using recognised terms and descriptions. It is dedicated to Dr Hal Stone and and Dr Sidra Stone who developed this powerful process and their continuing work on the Psychology of the inner Selves.

My newest  site, just launched includes a Forum, a Voice dialogue Blog and a Newsletter (still being developed)
It's all about how self awareness leads to self empowerment, self healing and the ability to change your life the way you want to change, how and when you want to and get the results you always wanted.

My first website now in its 15th year
Most pages from this original site are being transferred to the new Flagship site (above) but there are still many pages well worth while reading. More information about voice dialogue - a powerful tool for growing self-awareness, self empowerment, self-healing and the Key to Balancing your Life.

Balance and unblock your inner clamps
Core beliefs are one of the main causes of clamps and blockages that stop us growing or doing what we want to in life. This site will help you to diagnose your own unique negative core belief and then balance it.

Loving and Protecting Inner Children everywhere
Dedicated to inner children everywhere. A magical site with some practical advice on how to love, protect and care for your own Inner child using voice dialogue and other skills including visualisation and story telling..

A Self Awareness site to help Men and Women overcome the toxic influence of their Inner Patriarch and Inner Matriarch
Self awareness and self empowerment  work differently for women and men. At the heart of these differences are two extremely dangerous inner selves - the Inner Matriarch and the Inner Patriarch. They fight each other constantly and they encourage fights between men and women. The only thing they have in common is that they are both dedicated to keeping all men and all women out of loving, successful grown-up relationships at home, at work or anywhere else. We all have an Inner Patriarch and an Inner Matriarch inside us but there is much we  do to reduce their toxic influence.

Coming soon! My new self awareness blog.

I have just opened a new site which will soon start to include regular blog entries  about the work I do.

wwwchangelifepower.com

 

At the heart of my work there is a basic principle which is that self awareness is great but unless you can use it to make real changes in your life then it is of no real value.

Once you can use your new self awareness  skills to make positive changes in your life, the changes you want to make, the changes that really make a difference, then you are experiencing real self empowerment.

Anything less is a waste your time and mine.

That’s why the new website is named www.changelifepower.com

Making positive changes in your life, the way you want to make them and at your own pace.

 

Personal growth and freedom through self-awareness, increasing the positive choices you have in life.

 

Making your relationships work. Partnering skills, developing intimacy, trust and stronger linkage.

Voice Dialogue and how it helps to create all these positive changes in your life.
