02. Mind Witness Self-Reflection

One of the most important ingredients to gaining competency in conscious personal mastery is the ability to witness yourself. What exactly does this mean?

To witness yourself means to impartially consciously observe what and how you are sensing, feeling, thinking, behaving and perceiving. You are able to abstain from judgment and any attachment to your observations. This is particularly challenging when trying to witness the shadow parts of you. However, being able to objectively observe yourself within your shadow is a critical element to optimizing your health, resonance and self-mastery. 

To fully witness your mind involves awareness of not only your conscious thoughts but what is just below the surface within the subconscious and even unconscious domains. It includes the underlying beliefs you have about yourself and the world around you. It encompasses the narratives and stories you tell yourself and how these drive your choices and decisions. For many, there is much work to be done within this self-awareness process.

To get the most out of the witness experience is to set the intention to refrain from any type of positive or negative judgment and be neutral in your observation. Be open and curious about what you may discover! It’s an exploration of You!

 

Reflect on the prompts below for ~3-8 minutes, 1-3x/day for 1-2 weeks. *Unless otherwise directed.

  • Perform this self-reflection again in about 4 weeks to assess your progress and to gather any new information to continue to support you and your greatest good.
  • Optionally, use your testing technique to determine your optimal frequency and duration to use this reflection.

 

Mind Witness self-reflection prompts:

Observe your choices and behaviors and the underlying reasons behind them. 

  • Do your decisions and actions truly serve you, your highest good and/or your goals? 
  • Do you notice any archetypal patterns of the saboteur, victim, child or prostitute?  
  • Are you able to uncover any underlying beliefs and perceptions about yourself and the world around you that drive your choices and behaviors? 
  • Reflect on your attitude about your life circumstances and relationships. Notice any trends toward positive, negative or neutral and how this fluctuates based on your environment and the people around you.
