Astra Niedra | Voice Dialogue in Daily Life

Here’s a bit about me and what you’ll find here:

If you’ve had a chance to familiarise yourself a little with what Voice Dialogue is all about on my home page, then you’ll know this is something I’m passionate about.

Voice Dialogue has helped me enormously, in all areas of my life, and so I do this work to help others too.

Some of the content here is from my original email newsletter Daily Voice Dialogue, which I started writing before blogs existed, and my blog Baby Dialogue, which I started writing after I had my first child 20 years ago. And I’m adding new material as time goes on.

I’ve included explanatory material about the ideas in Voice Dialogue, including techniques and exercises you can use in your everyday life, and more personal posts.

My aim is to share information that can help you with the challenges we all face in our lives. Challenges such as finding the ability to express more of ourselves so we can feel fulfilled; moving from ‘stuckness’ and finding new ways forward; separating from the need to behave in a particular way, such as to please, to overwork, to not work enough, to always be right, to worry too much.

You can use the ideas here for general personal growth and consciousness expansion and to help with deep healing.

The information here will help you to understand and accept yourself and others, to communicate and resolve conflict more effectively, and to improve your relationships.

It will help you realise you have the capacity for greater choice in how you experience your life; that you can change old patterns and find new ways of feeling, behaving and relating.

My belief is that this work can bring a great deal more joy to the world. As more people realise there’s far more to each of us than appears, and that we have more choice than we have allowed for ourselves, and that we can transform our relationships and the way we parent our children, then we can start to enrich and improve not only our own lives but the lives of those we come into contact with.

My experience with Voice Dialogue

I was first introduced to Voice Dialogue in my early 20s. I went to workshops – including some presented by Voice Dialogue’s creators Drs Hal and Sidra Stone, both in the United States and in Australia – and I had sessions with facilitators.

I practised doing Voice Dialogue with my partner, who later became my husband, and we still use this work in our relationship and to help with raising our children. (If you’d like to know how to create a fulfilling relationship that lasts, where both you and your partner can continue to grow, check out my book The Perfect Relationship.)

I’ve worked as a Voice Dialogue facilitator and I’ve presented workshops. I’ve written newsletters, articles, blogs and books on personal growth with Voice Dialogue, and I’ve written a book on motherhood as a consciousness path (Enlightenment Through Motherhood).

As a facilitator I’ve used Voice Dialogue to help clients with all kinds of personal and relationship issues, and for general personal and consciousness growth.

I’m particularly interested in helping women to grow more fully into who they are, and in helping both men and women to become conscious of the patriarchal conditioning we’ve all been subjected to so that all people can become whole and live more fulfilling lives. (See my post on the Inner Patriarch regarding this.)

Parenting my three daughters has probably provided the greatest lessons for me, and Voice Dialogue has helped me to gain more value from those lessons and to be a better parent than I otherwise would have. (See my parenting posts here.)

What you’ll find on this website

You’ll find information on how relationships work, decision-making, parenting, mastering your energy field to set healthy boundaries and have more choice in how you connect with others, dealing with perfectionism and stress, accessing creativity, communicating better.

You’ll find ideas on the difference between spirituality, spiritual rules, awareness and consciousness.

I’ve categorised the information into sections: You, Relationships, Parenting, Our World, Fast Facts and Meet Some Selves.
