Awareness Process on One Page
Only through heightened awareness do we grow personally and
spiritually. Awareness is not just an intellectual exercise. We must experience
new ways of being in our physical, emotional and mental bodies. Only in this
way can we release repressed fears, pains, negative emotions, limiting beliefs
and be open to new possibilities. And here’s good news: awareness alone often
brings change.
- Identify the situation you want to
understand more deeply and perhaps resolve. Describe it in your journal
and then summarize your thoughts in Box 1.
- Think about your focus, and sense your
physical body. What do you feel? Where do you feel it? Is your breathing
deep or shallow? Are you tense or relaxed? Do you feel pain or tension
anywhere in particular? Observe and experience without judging any
sensations that arise -- allow them to be. Summarize your experience in
Box 2.
- Review your situation again and be aware
of your emotions. What feelings are present? How would you describe your
mood? Attitude(s)? Do you have desires? Do you sense resistance?
- What thoughts come to mind? What do you
believe about yourself, others and life with respect to this situation?
Simply observe your thoughts as they arise without identifying with them
and without judging yourself or them. Experience a
stream of awareness
process.
- What
triggers initiate this kind of
response in you. What would your
early warning signals be?
- Ask your Higher Guidance questions
relative to this situation. For example, if you have pain, tension or
excitement anywhere in your body, ask what this sensation means. Ask for
guidance on thoughts or beliefs and be alert for answers. They may come
immediately or over the next few days. Consider using the
Dialogue tool.
Summarize your higher messages in Box 6.
- For any negative thought or emotion you
are experiencing, identify the positive to which you aspire. What higher
quality, virtue or value do you want to express?
- Review what you have written in your
journal or on the awareness summary worksheet. Do any additional insights
arise?
- Is there something you want to do
relative to your situation, given your insights? How will you act
differently now with respect to this situation?
