Within the AltanaESP Network & System, the Identity Wheel serves the following key purposes…

1. Act as a “map” of an individual's Umwelt for structuring, managing and monitoring support activities & progress.
2. Serve as an integration model between Networking different service activities and various System applications & functions.
3. Reference to identify and target possible intervention actions and coaching activities required or needed.

There are several life areas (physically, mentally and spiritually) that we have to conquer, master, control and manage to establish and sustain a well balanced lifestyle and healthy psyche (i.e. self-determination). These life areas can be indicated as follows…

The identity wheel is structured around the following key self-worth dimensions…

1. An individual's INNER WORLDplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigI.e. the WITHIN of..."As within… so without!", segments 1 to 7 → LDP
2. An individual's OUTER WORLDplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigI.e. the WITHOUT of..."As within… so without!", segment 8 to 13 → CPD
3. Philosophy of Life, the centre made up of the following merged facets…

The indicated life areas spin around one central life area (our compass in life or GPS) which provides the necessary momentum (i.e. the emotional energy, power and GRIT) and igniting the process of dealing with the different areas of our life in an upward spiralling deployment context (i.e. the switching of our energy system-spiral). This personal growth and development process - or lack thereof - is supported by what is known as our Kundalini energies that encircle all of our areas of life and our life phases of growth and maturity, from the day that we are born to the day that we exit this planet of ours.

The above - from a scientific and academic point of view - provides a workable diagnostic-prognosis structure to identify life areas of concern. The goal of the identity wheel coaching approach, isn't merely an effort to eliminate or getting rid of stuckness, BUT to initiate, develop, establish and sustain an ENDURING presence of a ROBUST mental and emotional health, which materialize as emotional maturity and a productive self-empowerment and psyche management stance.

This makes a whole lot of sense… theoretically, but what is the actual implication for REAL life as we experience it each day?

In essence, robust psyche into practical or real-life terms differs widely from one person to the next and it is - therefore - next to impossible to reliably describe the identity wheel's impact on real-life in generic terms. However, a speech delivered by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anna Quindlen, at the 1999 Graduation Ceremony (Villanova University, Pennsylvania), when she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate, is as an excellent portrayal of what is generally meant with a ROBUST psyche life.

The center or hub of the identity wheel (seat of our conative actions & energy spiral) is assimilated as follows…

1. Lower Self
   • Root Chakra focus ⇒ What we can versus what we cannot control
   • Sacral Chakra focus ⇒ A set of non-negotiable minimum standards
   • Solar Plexus Chakra focus ⇒ A firm foundation for personal security
2. Transition Center - higher & lower self vibrational calibrator
   • Heart Chakra focus ⇒ Recognize and appreciate inherent worth and uniqueness, of self & others
3. Higher Self
   • Throat Chakra focus ⇒ Understanding and managing feelings
   • Brow Chakra focus ⇒ Managing perceptions and thoughts
   • Crown Chakra focus ⇒ Distinguishing personal feelings and interpretations from the facts
