Discover Your True Self

Hello dear readers and friends,

Today I present to you an article based on shamanic work: Discovering the Real You.
An interesting article where shamanic culture advises us the way to discover oneself in a very simple way, but it is precisely in the simplicity of its being that the greatest difficulty in applying this way lies.

To discover your true self you must pay attention to everything around you, constantly attentive to your inner feeling. You have to pay attention to all the decisions you make or don't make. 

If they invite you to a lunch with colleagues or an evening with friends, how do you feel?

Pay attention to your gut reaction, what do you feel inside?

You are happy?

Are you anxious?

You are angry?

These are the feelings you experience but there is still that uncontrollable reaction that shows through the body, the one that your true self is showing you. Examples are a lump in the throat, a punch on the stomach, stiffening of the lower limbs, a shiver down the spine and so on…

These manifestations are what you feel and that the real you is pointing out to you, practicing attention is precisely the "feeling" of feeling these sensations.

Your feeling and your attention to feeling are giving you real clues about what you like, what you really want to do, etc.

What do you really like to do? 

What really makes you happy?

These are questions that have simple answers: listen to your feelings, pay attention and then follow the "instructions" you receive from your true self.

Start following, doing and saying what really makes you happy. Even if you may initially experience problems such as discomfort or embarrassment, don't give up, you will find that over time you will feel better: happier and more joyful or even more relieved.

Relieved to bring all those masks that you wear on various occasions in your life.
You will begin to understand that by indulging in the will and thoughts of others you have lost your true self.

And where  is your true being?
Lost in the masks you wear and carried away by the events around you.

Pay attention to your hearing, to that little voice that speaks to you, to that punch in the stomach and you will see that your true self, your true self will truly begin to appear.

From this point on you will have to accept and love yourself for who you are, no one can lie to themselves. Free yourself from the conditioning imposed by society, do not obey what you are told to do or to be. Pay attention to your feeling and follow the instructions of your true being.

Notes: obviously there are rules of society that we have to abide by, we certainly can't send our boss to hell if we don't want to lose our job, or punch anyone who disturbs us.

Seeking and finding our individuality in the society in which we live is the purpose which, as always, must not manifest itself in hurting someone, our journey is always first of all internal which will surely later also be manifest outside of  us .
