This modality opens your self-awareness, raises consciousness.
HILARY IS NOW RUNNING A SEVEN-PART TRAINING IN VOICE DIALOGUE, offered in private sessions of one-and-half hours each. Click here for details
We think we're one person, one ego - but inside we are inhabited (and inhibited!) by a whole family of energies that bicker and vie for our attention. We experience these different aspects as Voices, which we can talk to using the techniques created by Hal and Sidra Stone in the US.
Voice Dialogue is a natural companion to Sandplay, for where one helps to reorganise the importance and weight of each part, the other unearths the the complex origins and connections between events and the Self. Not that both dont cover the same ground, but together with our other methods they have the most profound impact on our development.
Each Voice has its own particular character. When you are in the energy of a Voice you will speak with its distinctive tone and body language. A Voice might whine or cajole, or it may be extraordinarily authoritarian. It is quite marvellous to hear a sergeant-major speak out of a tiny quiet woman.
Most of these Voices evolve in babyhood, some evolve throughout life. They are necessary and natural parts of growth - but they get distorted by the vicissitudes of life.
We can create any Voice we need though this process !
Many of us have a strong Pusher energy, with an eye always on the clock or the calendar. This Pusher helps us achieve: But there will also be an opposite energy that is just as big that causes us a lot of tension. Perhaps a relaxed layabout that wants to ignore work and comfortably watch TV. Achievers are often terrified that this part will take over their lives - but in fact, all any shadow energy needs is a little recognition - saying don't forget there is also me.
As we come to recognize our Voices and detach from their iron grip we develop a witness or Aware Ego that can help make life simple so we may become the master of our lives.
Voice Dialogue helps you to know yourself and the parts of you that you do not recognise.
Hilary and John were trained in Voice Dialogue in the US by the founders of this technique, Dr's Hal & Sidra Stone. To book for a private session contact us by phone on 6355 2223 or by email.
