Questions about Self-Authority

What altered state of consciousness does Kind Voice create?

Kind Voice cultivates self-compassion, an altered state of consciousness in which individuals respond to themselves with understanding, patience, and kindness rather than criticism or judgment. Awareness becomes less focused on perceived flaws and more focused on supportive self-relationship.
