7 Keys to Knowing Yourself Online Course – Part 3
Part 3 – Your Secret Self
You can listen or read to begin …
This course has been recorded for hands-free easy listening, or you can read the content below. Please complete each stage before proceeding to the next. Repeating any stage is encouraged if you feel the need to.
This Part has 10 questions. Take your time and be relaxed. Start to reflect on ‘all of you’. Your conscious self and the deeper parts of how you feel and the experiences in your life so far.
Your ‘Secret Self’ is the part of you that sits just beneath the surface. It is ‘you’ – the true story of ‘you’. It is a result of all of your subconscious thoughts and memories, and your genuine responses to what has happened to you so far in your life. It is the version of yourself that will readily tell you all about your real feelings, and you will see your secret self emerging through your life every day, sometimes in small ways and at other times in bigger ways. Our love, our pain, our vulnerability and regrets, our aspirations and inspirations are all linked to the secret self.
The result of Your Secret Self is the person you know as ‘you’ today; your feelings, your behaviour and your choices.
How you treat yourself and how you treat others is also a result of your choices based on your secret self, and this is the area of yourself you have relied upon to create ‘Your Self Image’ and ‘Your Created Life’.
Life issues such as matters of the heart and quality of life often arise from the secret self because it is the basis for our behaviour – the summary of everything we are up until today. Getting to know Your Secret Self is a wonderful experience of discovery. It can be the release of new abilities and untapped strength, releasing the need to suppress your true feelings you may keep private .. even from yourself. Becoming aware of Your Secret Self gives you the greatest opportunity for growth.
What is hidden is always our best friend because it is always honest with us; You Secret Self will help you gain the clarity and wisdom you are looking for in this program.
Remember, after you have finished the questions and meditation experience, you can use the Reflection Diary in this program, or you might like to use a pen and notepad – it is entirely up to you.
Let’s begin.

Recommended items and course suggestions so you can get the best results from this course…
- Something to write on. This should be a notepad and pen. When we write with a pen or pencil we engage the brain in ways typing and touching a screen do not. However, use of a phone, tablet, computer or other device can still be used.
- Before you sleep. It is also highly recommended to write in a journal or diary before going to sleep; this allows you to sort your feelings and empty your mind of thoughts from the day. Just as in the Dream Talking program, working with yourself often creates a greater connection inwardly and can enhance dream clarity.
- A Personal Journal or Notepad. This is not essential, however the activities in this course are best completed when hand-written. If possible, record on your preferred written format. If you are not able to write on the PDF activity sheets or in a journal or notepad, you can make notes on your digital device just as easily.
- Activity Sheet. If you use the PDF provided, you will need to print out a separate sheet for each question.
- Note 1: It is strongly recommended to turn off as many distractions as possible when completing this program, such as music or television (and even your phone if you are not using it to read the course notes).
- Note 2: It is strongly recommended to avoid using all device or screen technology at least 30 mins before going to bed. This allows your brain to relax and prepare for sleep.
