Finding your inner self is something that many people struggle with. Once you find it, your life can be the best it has ever been. The importance of knowing your inner self is that it brings you balance as well as peace in your day-to-day life. Who wouldn’t want that? I want that.
For one to be fully aware of one’s self, one must go in quest; one must spend time in silence, in retreat, in introspection and contemplation. One starts the journey by asking questions, investigating every belief until we realize the Truth. When we are busy in the material world, it is very difficult to realize the spiritual truth because the body is craving, the mind is wandering and the ego dominates our life. As long as we believe that we are the one who we see in the mirror, we will never realize who we truly are within: we are the Divine spirit. The body will die. Where is the mind, you cannot find, but who you are – you don’t know. We have to realize that we are the Divine soul. Search for things that offer peace of mind, genuinely. Attach yourself to these things and let them grow inside you.
Patience, in my opinion is the main key to identifying your inner self.
Finding your true inner self means you are looking for your own presence on the inside. When you are around a highly sensitive person, that person senses your presence, but can you sense your own?
To sense your own presence, you need to bring yourself to calmness. What I do is I begin to tie up all the loose ends: clean up all the messes around the house, put the kids to bed, exercise if I haven’t yet, shower, and then get in my room alone and do a meditation exercise. If you are not into meditation, then read a small book or poem to get yourself in a meditative frame of mind. Then just close your eyes and soften your body, relax. Then feel your own presence within you.
This is a wonderful feeling. From this spot of calmness and feeling your own presence, you can learn so much about yourself. Do that a lot, and after a few months or years, you will discover your true identity.. what kind of person you are on the inside.
