Hello Friends!
In my World Religions class, my professor gave the class a very simple, yet profound exercise that I want to share with all of you. Please give yourself at least 15 minutes for this exploration....You have the time...Trust me!
Begin by sitting in a comfortable position. Start by shifting the focus to your breath and notice where in your body you are holding any tension. Try your best to breathe into the tight spot or spots and just let it go.
Once you feel more centered and focused internally, I want you to think of how you felt right before you went to bed last night. Think to yourself, "Who am I?" Without judging, get a feel for what kind of emotions or thoughts were you holding onto. Were you at peace? Once you have taken a moment to feel this, move onto to your state of consciousness as soon as you wake up in the morning..."Who Am I?" Imagine as if you are watching yourself, like a movie. Non-judgmentally, notice how you feel when you first get up.
Continue this process throughout your day...."Who Am I?" Who are you in your relationship to you body, emotions, heart, spirit, family, friends, work, or world? What are your life ideals and how do these manifest in your daily life?
These questions are extremely important when becoming present to your current state of consciousness. By taking the time to see where you are (non-judgmentally really is the key!) you are gaining incredible knowledge through self-inquiry. You can use this as a spiritual practice or just a daily reflection.
I hope this finds you well.
Enjoy,
Erin
