Are you a workaholic or beach bum? Responsible or irresponsible? Pleaser or selfish? Perfectionist or slob? Conservative or rebel? Or a mix?
We all have many facets, variously called inner selves, sub-personalities or energy systems, and some of our inner selves have a greater say in how we live our lives than others. That's why you might want to rest and relax but your inner pusher won't let you, or you've been planning on starting an exercise program for months but your inner couch potato would prefer you to watch TV, or maybe you want to be more open with how you communicate with your partner but another part of you shuts you down.
This little ebook introduces you to an empowering way of understanding yourself and the other people in your life, known as Voice Dialogue and the Psychology of Selves. It gives you some examples of selves and their opposites and explains how you can find a more centred space from which to operate in your life, giving you more choice in how you express yourself. This was first published as an article in Australia's Yen magazine.
Astra is a facilitator and teacher of Voice Dialogue and the Psychology of Selves, a unique approach to personal growth developed by Drs Hal and Sidra Stone, that involves working with the parts, or inner selves, of the psyche.
Voice Dialogue leads to greater awareness, understanding and compassion (for oneself and others), inner balance and wholeness, and ultimately more conscious choice in how we express ourselves and lead our lives.
Through her website and books Astra shares the profound and life-transforming ideas from Voice Dialogue in an easy-to-understand and accessible way.
She is author of The Perfect Relationship, Which Self Are You? and Enlightenment Through Motherhood, The Greatest Relationship Secret and The Simplest Relationship Remedy.
