Primary Awareness

SHOWNOTES
EPISODE 6: PRIMARY AWARENESS
In the final episode of the debut season, we explore the amazing principle of Primary Awareness, the powerful inner wisdom within each of us.

Primary Awareness has been given many names, perhaps most recognizably as consciousness, highest self, and soul. Primary Awareness is a part of us, but one that cannot be found on our physical bodies. Primary Awareness is more easily understood as part of our minds, but it is a part of the mind that lies beyond our thinking brain and transcends our earthly personality. Unlike familiar thoughts and feelings, Primary Awareness is a calm and peaceful observer, separate from the ongoing narrative in our heads, yet always present.
Primary Awareness is an incredible source of insight, guidance, and wisdom that is not limited by the strengths or weaknesses of our personality. If life is a school, Primary Awareness is our teacher, quietly offering us guidance if and when we are interested.

In addition to precious guidance, another incredible benefit of connecting to our Primary Awareness is that it is aligned with our Intrinsic Worth. If we struggle to accept our personal worthiness, connecting to Primary Awareness will expand our sense of who we are and support us in accepting the value already present.

While Primary Awareness isn’t hidden, developing a strong connection to this part of us can require patience and practice. There are several techniques that will support us in accessing our internal wisdom. The first and simplest is to observe. Rather than always merging with whatever thoughts or feelings we experience it is important to practice noticing what is happening both psychologically and emotionally.

Perhaps the most effective technique for connecting to Primary Awareness is the practice of meditation. Because meditation naturally creates space from the thinking mind, it is here that we are best able to access this higher state. However, meditation does take practice, commitment and perseverance. Yet, the benefits are immeasurable.

The fact that each of us has access to incredible wisdom that is always available, guiding us beyond the limitations of our narrow thinking mind perspectives, is such an amazing gift. Be willing to explore your Primary Awareness. I promise you will find profound rewards including a heightened understanding of yourself and the world around you.
