In Personal Works, awareness serves as the observer and moderator of our thoughts and emotions. Through this use of awareness, we can intentionally work on personal development in any number of areas. Personal Works also gives you tools and techniques to increase your mental and emotional balance, as well as an understanding of the relationship between your core of awareness and your personality.
First, we all have areas of personal strength and interests we can get in touch with to enhance our personal satisfaction and fulfillment. We express our own unique personality in the world, enriching ourselves and others in the process. But these vocations may take time and effort to make real, and awareness provides us with the inner feedback of movement in the right direction.
We also employ awareness as a vehicle for more intentionally interacting with our own personal limitations, hurts and conditioning. Through these methods, we can overcome the ways these issues limit and constrain us, by the space offered between awareness and our thoughts and emotions (this in and of itself is a big deal). As the observing ‘I’ watches reactive thoughts and emotions, this provides us with the opportunity of not acting on these often damaging and negative patterns.
