The practice of Self inquiry.
Thursday, 21 September 2023
Hello fellow seekers of truth! In this blog, we delve into the practice of self-inquiry. Self-inquiry is a technique used to examine and gain insights into oneself, including one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, ultimately leading to self-realisation and liberation. This practice has been validated by scientific studies and can positively impact one's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Self-inquiry can be practiced in various ways, such as asking oneself a series of questions. The benefits of self-inquiry are numerous, including increased self-awareness, reduced stress and anxiety, improved mental health, improved relationships, personal growth, and a greater sense of purpose along with enlightenment! We also explore the story of Ramana Maharishi, a self-realised sage who pursued the truth of his existence by asking himself the question "Who am I?". This blog will show you how the simple act of self-inquiry can lead you to profound and life-changing discoveries about yourself.
