Self Talk

 

This Technique enables you to identify two highly imnportant dimensions of your personality - The Inner Child and the Inner Adult. Having identified them you are then able to develop and regenerate them, and build a loving relationship between the two, through the Inner Dialogue that is Self Talk. The Child within you represents your past and all its influences, good and bad. It manifests as your reactions and emotions. The Adult is the thinking rational expression of yourself. Nowadays, the interaction, between the two tends to be mostly negative, for example, you feel low (Child) so you condemn yourself (Adult), this makes the Child feel worse so more condemnation follows. The vicious circle persists year after year and, combined with the negative input of others, creates a bedrock of fear and mistrust that can blight ones life. This goes on unconsciously, like corrupted computer software that you have not yet detected, consistently messing up what you do and want to do.

Self Talk not only debugs this program, but upgrades it into something that positively improves the quality of your life. A positively functioning Inner Child brings spontaneity, playfulness, creativity, and a sense of wonder in one's life. A positive Adult makes for more secure and effective personality. Each then serves, rather than disserves the other.

Higher Self

In contemplating and contacting the inner child and Adult it should soon become apparent that there is a third 'entity' present within you. This entity is aware of the condition of both the Child and the Adult, and is concerned with their welfare. This is your higher self and it is likely that at some point it will be needed to arbitrate between the CHild and the Adult when they are 'not talking to each other'. The Higher self is like a psychological diplomat; it also has connections to 'high places', that is, wisdom and higher intelligence. Simply by recognizing when you higher self is present, you can bring it into play to help with your interiour situation, and then, ultimately, the exterior situation.
