There has been an increasing interest in the art of self-awareness in psychology today. Several studies, cutting across cultural barriers, have established beyond doubt the efficacy of different techniques of self-awareness. The words ‘self-awareness’ represent not only an awareness of one’s surface sensations, feelings, thoughts and reactions but also a soul awareness; an awareness of the spiritual self, as Peace, Light, Beauty and Truth. The methods vary on how to contact this spiritual self, depending upon individual need and capacity.
“Meditation is the easiest process for the human mind, but the narrowest in its results; contemplation more difficult, but greater; self-observation and liberation from the chains of Thought the most difficult of all, but the widest and greatest in its fruits. One can choose any of them according to one’s bent and capacity. The perfect method is to use them all, each in its own place and for its own
object.”
