What is Self Inquiry?
Self inquiry provides the opportunity to transform your life by living each moment in a true state of awareness. Ask yourself, do you live your life conscious of the thoughts, feelings and actions that arise in any given moment throughout your daily life? Can you welcome the challenges and uncomfortable feelings that come and let them be without needing to act on them, control them or try to remove them? Can you surrender 100% to your life as it is, right now? Can you let go of judgements, attachments, expectations and the fears that tend to drive your decision making? Will you let your heart instead of your mind guide you towards a more peaceful way of being?
Will you tell the truth, no matter what?
Most of us are fearful of telling the truth of who we are. Perhaps if I tell the truth something will happen to this relationship or my life circumstances may change. And in fact, they may. Begin watching when you are not telling the truth to yourself and make a conscious decision to honor who you are and tell the truth to yourself, always - yes, no matter what.
You see who you are is no different from anybody else; we are all made from the same fabric, the oneness of all. We're all connected, it's just our personalities and physical appearances that make us believe we are separate. As you give yourself permission to be who you are you also provide a reflection for others to shine, and be who they are.
Begin to welcome all of your life experiences including the ones that make you feel sad, angry or fearful. Surrender 100% and be present with it all. Trust that life is okay just as it is, and then see what happens when you let go and let be.
What we resist - persists, what we embrace, we erase. Try it and see for yourself.
Begin inquiry today by contemplating Who am I?
Be still ~ when a thought arises become the observer of thought. Be mindful of what arises each time you ask this question.
