What does that well-used term actually mean? I think it can only mean increasing the levels where we function in the different aspects of our individual life. These aspects are; how through which you search after the body; just how through which you method and express inner thoughts; the clarity and relevance of your respective thoughts and phrases; your ability to offer and receive love; and your openness to higher values and also a more spiritually inclined way of life. Personal development groups have tended to involve a great 'expert/guru' and, by inference, a smaller amount 'developed' or a lesser amount of 'enlightened' members from the audience. Personal development really only involves becoming aware of what you are actually like, what you'd like to improve about yourself, and if it is actually changeable, studying exactly how to do just that! Western European society offers clearly defined 'levels' of general functioning. Some individuals are literally struggling to survive, to fight off infection, and to locate refuge food and water. Federal government agencies, and national charities way too, have a stated duty to help people on that base level of existence. We understand that this really is as well often not a priority, and that such help will be underfunded and undervalued by people with the power to make this kind of changes to the diminished lives of so many people. When those basic needs are adequately met, we can then see society functioning on higher levels of needs, beliefs and values. People'ersus curiosity in, and willingness for, 'growth' and change is truly determined by their knowledge, insight and even the simple notion that there will be a different way of living their life. Many of us share the need for sleep, pound, nourishment and care; beyond that we need money to deliver us choices in your everyday living and to thus reduce our stress. How we spend that money and the choices we make depends upon our level of 'personal development'.The level where you live determines the company you preserve, what you read and listen to, and what your hopes and desires are - regardless of whether purely selfish of a lot more selfless. In short these can be split into three sections though they are not clearly separated and for some people there is truly a good area of overlap with the next stage - i.e. stage 1 to stage only two; and stage only two to stage 3. I have granted these stages the game titles of Dormant Awareness, Emerging Awareness and Expanding Awareness. Dormant/Latent stage Awareness is limited to the Ego and immediate needs being met. There is actually too little empathy and compassion for others, and a tendency to bigotry, oppression, abuse and violence - even to kids and wildlife. Other people are used, to meet up with needs for 'security', sexual intercourse, and comfy survival. Absence of personal health care. Extremely mental, and mood will be altered with ingredients and risky activities. High levels of fear, guilt, shame, blame and jealousy. Likely to read gossip-based periodicals and sensationalistic newspaper publishers, and to watch shame-inducing voyeuristic Big t.V.'chat-shows', pornography and violent/horror movies. Would like immediate gratification and might be prone to addictions. Need to belong to some tribe, gang or sports-supporters clan, and to 'wear the colours' to show this allegiance. Awareness may end up being increased by traumatic experiences these kinds of since childbirth/parenthood, serious illness, victim of your violent assault, grief, ghost-sighting, use of clairvoyants, counselling, or perhaps a possibility achieving or film that enables insight into a different level of living and being. Emerging Awareness A lesser amount of focus on personal needs being met and becoming aware with the 'bigger picture'. May still become focussed on body 'image,' and having particular garments to 'belong', or to ease fundamental self-doubts. May always be materialistic - no matter whether it may be afforded or not. Noticing emotionality and finding ways to understand and regulate it. Becoming aware of broader thinking and reasoning; developing reasoned opinions and clearer calmer expression. Seeking 'meaning' and 'purpose' in life. Greater self-care and attention to diet and health, and resolving addictions. A lot more empathic and considerate of other'ersus needs and perspectives. Mastering to get more tolerant and accepting of individuals at the earlier level of awareness/development. Some ability for forgiveness. Love will be becoming real, and a lesser amount of conditional upon needs being met, and of fears being soothed, through the other. May read self-help textbooks, and personally relevant articles and stories. Wishes periodicals and magazines that stimulate balanced and non-political thinking. Counselling, psychotherapy and Psycho-mental Education can support insight and awareness. Expanding Awareness Heightened insight compassion and empathy for others, and the being familiar with from the stages with the 'Soul Journey' we all have been undertaking. Seeks like-minded souls who share their higher values. Realises that many of us create our own 'reality' which our thoughts are like tangible issue and attract to us that which we focus upon - having unblocked our very own sub-conscious obstacles to this kind of innovative process. Gets the ability to see the 'much bigger picture' which involves the personal development expert and the interconnectedness of everything and everyone - on a 'consciousness and sub-atomic particle' level. Developing views and aims concerning world peace and coherence, and works for the good of others - which further improves their very own self and soul development. Psycho-emotional Education and Transpersonal Psychotherapy can help to fill in a gaps to personal and spiritual growth. Different theoretical approaches to counselling and psychotherapy focus on different levels of need for change, That they will probably be focussed on either; the body, the inner thoughts, the cognitive-behavioural, relational interaction, creative arts or transpersonal/spiritual/soul function. We all have been a mixture of all these aspects and, therefore, need a therapist who provides training comprehending and experience of most levels of human need - a great 'Integrated' approach to helping people unblock the road blocks to some happier and more rewarding life.
