Using Others to Understand Current Disconnection

It is possible that the exercise above was difficult to complete. At times, it's hard to take a true look at yourself. The ego may play some tricks on you. For this reason, I believe it's possible to assess others to gain greater insight for your own disconnection to your Inner Self.

The next exercise will help you to go deeper into understanding your level of disconnection and connection. You may not know your relationship with your Inner Self, but others in your life may help. Sometimes you receive support from others. They come to your rescue with advice, money, love, a sympathetic ear, maybe even help fix things around your home, but people in your life can be a great resource in another way. Just by being themselves and being in your life others offer great insight into how you feel inside. Like most, there are areas of yourself that you do not perceive favorably and these areas need to be evaluated and healed. For that reason, it is helpful to look to others to understand your feelings about yourself. Even if you have a diverse group of friends they will still represent certain aspects of yourself. Depending on your current circumstances you tend to bring in those who are able to empathize with you or who are engaged in similar situations, even if you are not able to recognize this on the surface. Sometimes as you change the people in your life change, but that is the nature of growing and changing. Do not be afraid to change, especially if you are afraid of losing people in your life. As you become more attuned with who you are, the more you will invite in others who are also more attuned with themselves.
