Hello AWMS subscriber :
Imagine how you'd feel if a good friend suddenly said, "You should take a look at yourself."
Wow! Most of us would feel insulted, while our minds burn with defensive thoughts.
But if we could set aside our reflexive insecurity, it can be easily seen as — a great idea!
When I think of the phrase, "Take a look at yourself," I hear an echo that says, "If you don't, who will." Oh, others will judge us and decide what they wish. But only the Self has the ability to truly understand itself.
There is miracle and majesty in exploring and discovering our uniqueness. In the unawareness beyond knowing, we can find personal values, ethics, meaning and purpose.
One of the Grand Paradoxes of the Universe, is that we are unique yet connected — diversity merging with unity, an enigma the ancients called, "The One and the many."
Taking a look at yourself has four basic parts, though each one engages the others — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
The physical self includes health and behavior. The mental is developed through education and experience. And at the center of the mind-body connection is our emotional nature, which leads to our spiritual life.
We must schedule brief periods to turn away from the objective world and shift our attention within. We must also build self-trust around our intuition and conscience.
The term "Insight meditation" refers to any mindfulness exercise that is passive, receptive, non-judgmental, and contemplative. I'm currently booking private phone session for the new year. Learn Insight Meditation and Contemplation in private and confidential phone sessions — or Skype, if you prefer.

Doreen and I wish you the Merriest of Christmas Greetings. Happy Hanukkah, Solstice, and New Year.
Peaceful dreams,
— Michael
