IN PSYCHOSYNTHESIS Take a comfortable position and allow yourself to
enjoy his fantasy. Lock your Persecutor outside the door and begin to breathe deeply and
comfortably. Gently close your eyes, relax see your muscles getting loose, see a deep
calmness coming over you. Your heart is beating steadily and you are relaxing more and
more. You relaxing completely, ready to enjoy this exploration into self - to get
acquainted with your subpersonalities.
Now picture yourself walking into a theatre and there is a stage in front of you, the
curtain is hiding the parts of you. The theatre is empty and you walk with anticipation of
meeting your subpersonalities. Just in front of the stage, you see a very comfortable
chair and you sink down into it. It has a comfortable headrest and footrest and across the
back you see a sign :THE DIRECTOR. You see the lights becoming dimmer and dimmer and you
favourite music is playing softly in the background. Now the curtains part, and the stage
is visible.
From the wings, you see one of your subpersonalities coming onto the stage. You see this
funny person standing in the centre of the stage looking at you. The spotlight is flooding
her with light and you strike up a conversation with her. What are her values, needs, and
wants ? When did she develop? See her body language, facial expression, how she is
dressed. She stands there quietly before telling you all you want to know about her. Let
her appearance speak for her person and then let her announce her name. She tells you when
and why she emerged into you life. She reminds you of the situations in which she is
active and how she relates with your other subpersonalities. See how she walks and talk an
behaves - what she thinks and believes - what are her attitudes toward you and others.
When you are thoroughly acquainted with her, and know all you want about her, let her
repeat her name and walk off the stage and without coming fully out of your fantasy, draw
her and write in all she told you, later on you can fill her in with colours.
Then get ready to see the next subpersonality come to the centre of the stage in the
spotlight. Repeat the same procedure until all your subpersonalities have made your
acquaintance. Some are anxious to dance out and meet you, others are shy and you may even
have to get up from your chair and go up and coax them out. Feel the essence of each one,
explore aspect of yourself until you know just how it feels about life. Be sure to accept
each subpersonality no matter whether it is positive or negative. There is always a good
reason for its existence, it has something to contribute to your total personality.
Continue you fantasy like this one until you finish seeing all of your subpersonalities.
Draw your pictures in colors, large enough so all can see it clearly when we share in the
group.
Put one subpersonality on one full side of the paper.
