[WomensWisdom] Who Are You? May 27, 2005

~~*~~*~~

WHO ARE YOU?

Who are you? A simple question; and yet the answer can span from the simple to the profound.

How do YOU answer this question? Maybe you answer "I am Lauren" or "I am a coach" or "I am the daughter of Joy and Jerry" or "I am the mother of Katelyn and Kevin". Or maybe you answer "I am a spiritual being having a human experience" or "I am the child of God".

Is there one right answer? Or do they all apply? What if I asked you, "Who are you TRULY?"

You are not your ROLE of mother, daughter, sister, wife, professional, business owner. You are not your checking account, with your worth fluctuating like your balance. You are not the car you drive, the house you live in, the business you own, or how much money you make.

You are not your children. You are not your expectations, your beliefs or your values. And you are not what people think of you either.

You are not your thoughts. You can observe your thoughts, so who is observing?

You are not your emotions, for you can observe your emotions. Who is observing?

You are not your body. It is a glorious temple that houses you, and you are not your body.

So WHO ARE YOU? Finding the answer to this question, can lead you on an amazing journey - to your Self!

Action Steps:

1) Start your day by taking some quiet time to ask your Self "Who Am I?" and journal your answer. Notice if your answer changes over time.

2) As a meditation exercise, find a nice spot outside where you can sit comfortably and quietly for 15 minutes and see the sky.

Take 3-4 deep breaths, focusing your attention on your breath. This brings you into the present moment.

Ask "Who Am I?" and observe the thoughts that come up. Notice that you are observing your thoughts. Ask "Who is Observing?"

Ask again "Who Am I?" and observe the response and notice your body and what comes up. Ask "Who is observing my body?"

Ask again "Who Am I?" and notice the emotions or feelings that come up. Ask "Who is Observing the feelings?"

Ask again "Who Am I?" and...

...notice the sky

...notice the clouds

...notice Nature

Keep asking until your 15 minutes are complete. You might want to take a few moments and journal your answers. Repeat this on a weekly basis for a month and notice if there are any changes.

In Spirit,

Lauren Lee
