Let’s start today by a very important question. Who are we?
This simple question has the power to change our life. How do we see ourselves? Are we our name? our job? our appearance ? our talents? our life situation? our history?
Are we our thoughts? are we our emotions? are we our body? Who are we finally? It’s for each one of us to answer this question when one experiences the experience of being oneself.
I know it sounds mumbo jumbo but to be honest it’s so well phrased. Who we are is how one experiences oneself. And this process changes and never ends so who we are is our personal experience of being ourselves.
During this process I can guarantee you will realize what is false in you referring to behaviors that were inherited from your childhood, thoughts that are not yours but are results of fear and anger, feelings activated and released by those thoughts...
Yes, we are our body, our emotions, our mind ,our soul and something greater than that. We must have this holistic view of ourselves and make these parts talk to one another otherwise we feel incongruence and separation begins. We must have a holistic perspective of ourselves, of our universe and our position inside that universe. We know who we are but we have forgotten us. Shall we remember our true self? The only thing I can guarantee is that our true self is wise, knows what’s best for us, makes the right choices simply because it follows the gut feelings, is playful, funny, fearless and adventurous.
It feeds our emotions with love and compassion, kindness and warm heartedness towards our selves and the others. It feeds our mind with calm and relaxed thoughts detached from the preoccupation of the past or the future even though fully engaged in the present. It takes care of our body ad keeps it young and active. It nourishes our soul.
So ask yourself : How come we feel so miserable so often?
It’s because we play hide and seek all day with our real self and can never find it. One of the things we do and lose touch with our own self is that we lead an unconscious life. I mean we are not present. We act like robots. We play roles.
This is a moment to moment shift so do not expect any sudden changes. Each time you are aware of an element of your unconscious behavior a shift happens. Do not expect to be fully conscious , that is not possible just add some moments of consciousness in your daily routine and magic will appear because awareness precedes change!
