Awaken your deeper self to greater intuition, creativity and emotional resilience

Mindset exercise:

tune into your essence

Our inner world drives how we live, connect, and love ourselves and others. Learning to access the deeper part of yourself, your essence, can make you more resilient to the challenges life throws your way. The 12 mindset exercises in Only Being were created to help you tune in to your essence and cultivate deeper connection for greater self-awareness, peace, and happiness.

THE EXERCISE

Begin by sitting or lying down in a quiet and comfortable place. Notice the warmth or coolness of the air on your skin and any tension in your body. Paying attention to physical sensations helps to ground you with present-moment awareness.

Take slow, deep breaths to relax your body and mind. Inhale and exhale comfortably. Visualize oxygen filling your chest, and relax the cells in your body. Be present in the stillness within you.

Take a moment to identify and name the feelings inside you. Happy, sad, anxious, excited, angry, etc. Allow yourself to open your heart, lean in, and listen to your feelings. Be gentle as you let them speak to you.

Say to yourself, “I feel__________.”

By listening, you pull back the hidden layers of your inner world to feel what’s there. When you take a moment to breathe and be with your feelings, you make it possible to understand them. Understanding offers acceptance, tuning you in to the timeless intelligence of your essence. This is where your higher self resides.

Visualize yourself as a facet of your higher self. You are the reflection. Your lifetime has brought you to this precise moment.

Say to yourself:

“May I feel empathy.”

“May I feel compassion.”

“May I feel love.”

“These feelings come from me, are for me, and for others.”

The energy of empathy, compassion, and love fosters acceptance. Acceptance frees you to be present and gives you a deeper appreciation of yourself and others.

Tuning in to our essence provides us with resilience, making us emotionally flexible, less judgmental, and more forgiving. By tuning in, we lay the foundation to grow rich with independence and freedom of spirit.
