Today we are talking about self-understanding.
When I talk with clients, I find that very often they react to life situations in autopilot mode rather than in a focused and clear-minded way.
A very good method of learning where your relationship with yourself is, is to take 10 minutes and sit alone in front of a mirror with no distractions. No phone, internet, pets, or other people.
Sit in front of a mirror and look into your eyes. Try not to divert your eyes. Look only at yourself. Pay attention to what arises within you. How do you feel? Where are your thoughts? Do you like what you see? Is it pleasant? Is it scary or uncomfortable?
When the time is up, stroke your face gently and tenderly as you would a baby. Give yourself a hug.
Sometimes in the beginning it is hard to do. People say they feel embarrassed. It is interesting to see that you can be embarrassed in front of yourself.
However, upon overcoming the initial hesitation, clients have been able to have tremendous results with themselves.
