What does that well-used term actually mean? I think it can only mean bettering the levels at which we function in the different aspects of our individual life. These aspects are; the way in which through which you search after your body; the way in which where you process and express emotions; the clarity and relevance of the thoughts and terms; your ability to give and receive love; and your openness to higher values and a much more spiritually inclined way of life. Personal development groups have tended to involve a good 'expert/guru' and, by inference, much less 'developed' or a smaller amount 'enlightened' people of the audience. Personal development really only involves becoming aware of what you are actually like, what you'd like to switch about yourself, and if it will be changeable, mastering how to do just that! Western European society has clearly defined 'levels' of general functioning. Some people are literally struggling to survive, to fight off infection, and to find shelter foodstuff and water. Authorities agencies, and national charities also, have a stated duty to help people on that base level of existence. We understand that this is definitely way too often not a priority, which these kinds of help is underfunded and undervalued by people with the power to make this kind of changes to the diminished lives of so many people. When people basic needs are adequately met, we can then see society functioning on higher levels of needs, beliefs and values. People'ersus attention in, and willingness for, 'growth' and change is determined by their knowledge, insight and even the simple notion that there is truly a different way of living their life. All of us share the need for sleep, shelter, nourishment and care; beyond that we need money to provide us choices in life and to and thus reduce our stress. Exactly how we invest that money and the choices we make depends upon our level of 'personal development'.The level where you stay determines the company you keep, what you read and listen to, and what your hopes and ambitions are - regardless of whether purely selfish of far more selfless. In quick these might be separate into three sections though these are not clearly separated and for many people there will be a good area of overlap with the next stage - i.at the. stage 1 to stage two; and stage two to stage 3. I have given these stages the game titles of Dormant Awareness, Emerging Awareness and Expanding Awareness. Dormant/Latent stage Awareness will be limited to the Ego and immediate needs being met. There will be deficiencies in empathy and compassion for others, and a propensity to bigotry, oppression, abuse and violence - even to youngsters and creatures. Other people are used, to meet up with needs for 'security', sexual intercourse, and secure survival. Shortage of personal health care. Highly psychological, and mood will be changed with substances and risky activities. High levels of fear, guilt, shame, blame and jealousy. Most likely to read gossip-based publications and sensationalistic newspapers, and to watch shame-inducing voyeuristic Big t.V.'chat-shows', pornography and violent/horror motion pictures. Wishes instant gratification and can be prone to addictions. Need to belong to your tribe, gang or sports-supporters clan, and to 'wear the colours' to show this specific allegiance. Awareness may become increased by distressing experiences these kinds of since childbirth/parenthood, serious illness, victim of a violent assault, grief, ghost-sighting, use of clairvoyants, counselling, or possibly a opportunity achieving or film that enables insight into a different level of living and being. Emerging Awareness Less focus on individual needs being met and becoming aware in the 'bigger picture'. May still end up being focussed on body 'image,' and having particular clothes to 'belong', or to ease fundamental self-doubts. May end up being materialistic - whether it is usually 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. Much more empathic and considerate of other's needs and perspectives. Understanding to get much more tolerant and accepting of these at the earlier level of awareness/development. Some capacity for forgiveness. Love will be becoming real, and less conditional upon needs being met, and of fears being soothed, from the other. May read self-help publications, and personally relevant articles and stories. Desires mags and newspaper publishers that stimulate balanced and non-political thinking. Counselling, psychotherapy and Psycho-emotional Education can help insight and awareness. Expanding Awareness Heightened insight compassion and empathy for others, and a good knowing in the stages in the 'Soul Journey' we all have been task. Seeks like-minded souls who share their higher values. Realises that all of us create our own 'reality' knowning that our thoughts are like tangible issue and attract to us that which we focus upon - having unblocked our own sub-conscious obstacles to this particular innovative method. Gets the ability to see the 'much bigger picture' which includes the personal development training and the interconnectedness of everything and everyone - on a 'consciousness and sub-atomic particle' level. Developing landscapes and aims concerning world peace and coherence, and functions for the great of others - which further enhances their own self and soul development. Psycho-psychological 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, These people will likely be focussed on possibly; the body, the feelings, the cognitive-behavioural, relational interaction, inventive arts or transpersonal/spiritual/soul function. We are all a mixture of all these aspects and, therefore, need a therapist who offers training comprehending and experience of just about all levels of human need - a great 'Integrated' approach to helping people unblock the obstructions with a happier and much more rewarding life.
