Who Am I?

By Lauren Hanna, Founder of Sonic Yoga 

Namaste,

I’m very excited for my upcoming Meditation, “Who Am I: A Meditation on the Practice of Self Inquiry on May 21st at 8pm, where I will take you all on a journey of self-exploration through the map of the 5 koshas, the Ayurvedic diagram of the self. 

This practice will allow you to connect deeply with your soul and awaken your inner intuition to guide you to a deeper place of inner knowing so that you can create a powerful intention and manifest your dreams!

The practice of self-inquiry is about releasing the identification with the “I” or the ego and seeking to discover who or what we truly are.  It’s about recognizing that we are part of the great awareness itself. 

We will begin to explore the Five Koshas thru experimenting exercises I’ve adapted from meditation teacher Sally Kempton and the teachings of Ramana Maharshi. 

The idea is not to engage the mind. Just to ask the questions and to listen and when the answers rise up to put them aside and ask the question again so you can go deeper and deeper into pure awareness.

Here is a simple version of the meditation that you can practice on your own until we gather on the 21st.Register HERE.

Self-Inquiry Exercise

1. Bring your awareness to your body and feel into your body 

Then repeat “I am not this body.” 

2.Bring your awareness to your five senses and observe.

Then repeat “I am not these senses.”

3. Bring your awareness to your breath, feel your emotions.

Then repeat “I am not my breathe, I am not these emotions.”

4. Bring your awareness to your thoughts. Become the witness.

Then repeat “I am not these thoughts.”

5. Bring your awareness to your spiritual consciousness and contemplate.

then repeat “Who Am I ? Who Am I? Who Am I?”

Ask the questions WHO AM I? and just listen. If answers come up, just put them to the side and do not engage.  Ask the question again. Continue to go deeper in Self Inquiry. 

Take note of any sensations, thoughts, or visions that are coming up for you.

Write them in your journal. 

Continue with this practice and go deeper until you start to hear the Universe speaking through you revealing your true self.

With love + soul,

Lauren
