Here is a guided visualization exercise to explore self-awareness:

Finding Inner Stillness

Begin by finding a comfortable seated position. Close your eyes and take a few deep, relaxing breaths.

Bring your attention inward and notice the sensations in your body. Feel the weight of your body against the chair or floor. Notice the rise and fall of your belly as you breathe.

Observe any thoughts or emotions that arise, but don't engage with them. Simply watch them come and go like passing clouds.

Imagine there is a calm lake within you. The surface is still and reflective, mirroring your inner landscape.

As you gaze into the lake, imagine you can see your true self reflected there - your essence, your core being. This is the deepest part of you, the part that is unchanging.

Spend a few moments simply observing this reflection of your authentic self. What do you notice? What feelings or insights arise?

When you're ready, take a few more deep breaths. Slowly open your eyes and bring your awareness back to the present moment.

How do you feel after this visualization? What did you discover about your inner self-awareness? I'm happy to discuss your experience further.
