Introspection

"Knowing self is the beginning of all wisdom" 

Introspection...

An inner knowing,

a capacity to understand, 

and accept our emotions,

without feeling the guilt,

to suppress difficult ones. 

Building bodily awareness, 

forming deeper connections,

opening up to muted pain and sufferings,

when we achieve clarity,

about the relationship of mind and body. 

When we listen to the cues,

tending to their openings, 

all the heavy feelings get outlets,

without getting stuck inside,

keeping us healthy and happy. 

Introspection...

Let us be mindful,

of our thoughts and behaviors, 

conveyed in our actions,

being in control of our mind,

through our inner awareness. 

For, it will make us better,

regulating our heart desires,

by practicing them daily,

through meditation or controlled breathing, 

and giving due attention to our body. 

Be it our conscience, 

the projection of our consciousness, 

that let us have the rein,

of the various senses,

that influences our response.
