Self Enquiry
Self-enquiry is a mindfulness practice that brings active awareness to our innermost thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It serves not as a reason, but an understanding of why we may think, feel, and act the way we do.
What does it involve?
Self-enquiry involves the use of intricately-woven questions that spark our curiousity and devlve deep into the inner psyche. They guides us as we navigate our inner thoughts and steer us clear from harsh judgment or shame. They push us to our "edge" without pushing us over. They help us find the perfect place, where uncomfortable vulnerability meets breakthroughs and transformational growth.
