What is Self-Awareness and its importance
by Atman Nityananda
Self-awareness in spirituality means (and which is true meaning of the term) being aware of the sense of ‘I am’ and inner silence presence of Being and not awareness of psychological structures (thoughts, emotions, etc.). However, the term self-awareness is usually used in relation to thoughts, emotions, feelings and all other psychological expressions, since for most people and modern psychology they are considered as ourselves.
The development of self-awareness, from the beginning of the journey is considered an essential part of our practice (sadhana) not only because we live consciously and in alignment with our true nature, but also because it allows us to disidentify from the intellect, emotional and thinking mind and develop the detached observation that is a necessary step in the process of discovering and dissolving egoic tendencies, desires and the ego itself.
El “secreto” de una vida abundante, una vida de armonía, felicidad y contentamiento es tener una mente sáttvica libre de deseos y ego y vivir en cada momento en contacto consciente con nuestro verdadero Ser (Conciencia).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
