Knowing Yourself

Who is the person closest to you? You might immediately think of your parents, best friends, or partner. But what about you yourself? Your self is the only person who is with you 24/7 throughout your life. Yet, many of us go through life focusing on everything but the question of who we really are and what each of us finds meaningful in life. To answer these questions is to learn to achieve self-awareness, which is one of the goals of most contemplative practices in the Eastern and Western traditions (and what you’ll be exploring in this course!).
