Nearly everyone has experienced the phenomenon of the alarm clock ringing at 5:30 AM.
· A part of you is adamant about staying in bed.
· Another part of you is responsible and wants to get out of bed.
· Still another part of you loves to play and is excited to get up BUT ONLY IF it means sneaking to the beach.
Inner struggle ensues.
This
is a simple demonstration
highlighting that we are composed
of many
Selves, many parts of
yourSelf, which is the basis of
the Voice
Dialogue method.
This Jungian-influenced personal development system was created
by the Drs. Stone in the 1980's.
Its influence continues to expand
today as it is both inspiring and
effective in its ability to help
overcome difficult problems
and "grow creativity."
Zen master Dennis Genpo Merzel,
author of BIG MIND-BIG HEART,
describes his process for
finding your way as having two roots:
zen and Voice Dialogue.
In November 2008's issue of Atlantic Magazine, Paul Bloom's article,
"First Person Plural" discussed the expansion of the idea of a singular
"me" to include many Selves, which advances in neuroscience continue
to reinforce! And no, having many
Selves with competing agendas is
NOT multiple personality disorder,
but the natural result of growing up
in your household where certain
aspects of yourself were rewarded
and others were not.
Voice Dialogue moves beyond
gaining insight. For many, as the
secret and
powerful intentions
of the Selves are revealed
through facilitations, new keys
to problem-solving, letting go,
gaining courage and more are
presented to long unresolved
dilemmas.
Voice Dialogue often melts
black-and-white thinking.
It is an extremely powerful tool
that helps separate from a
dominant point of view,
which could include
breaking habits of:
negative thinking,
catastrophizing,
addiction maintenance,
eating disordered behaviors,
being "stuck,"
feeling uncreative,
any of which can be a part of
a lifestyle of:
poor relationships,
poor physical/fiscal health,
poor decisions/indecision
& more...
Voice Dialogue can help
you learn to savor your life
of joy as you ease towards
your potential. |
