Find a comfortable position. And allow your body to settle. Close your eyes gently. Take a slow breath in and slowly breathe out. For the next few minutes. There is nothing you need to achieve. Nothing to fix. Nothing to become. Simply be here. Notice your body. You can feel your hands. Your feet. Your breath. Your heartbeat. The body is being experienced. So gently ask yourself. Am I a body? Or am I the one aware of the body? Don't look for any intellectual answer. Just notice. Now. Notice your thoughts. Perhaps a thought is already here. Watch it appear. Stay for a moment. And disappear. Ask yourself. If I can observe my thoughts. Can I be only my thoughts? Don't try to answer. Simply. Remain here simply remain aware. Now notice your feelings. Maybe there is bees. Maybe there is restlessness Maybe there is nothing particular. Whatever is present. Allow it to be presented. And gently ask. If I can notice my feelings. Who is noticing them? Now bring your attention to the simple sense of I am. Before your name. Before your rules. Before your responsibilities. Before the stories about who you are. There is simply the feeling. I am. Don't add anything after it. Just I am. You don't have to find the answer. You don't have to create an experience. Simply rest as the awareness that is already here. At this moment. Thoughts may come. Let go of all the negative thoughts. Sensations may come. Let everything come and go. And notice. You are here. Aware of all of it. For a few moments. Drop every cushion. Drop every effort. Just be. One final, Gentle inquiry. Who am I before I define myself? Don't search for words. Just be still. And notice what remains. Take a slow deep breath in. And gently breathe out. Feel your body. Notice the space around you. And when you are ready. . . Slowly You can open your eyes. Carry this awareness with you. Not as an answer to remember. But it's a question to explore. Who am I? Namaste
