Anything that places you in touch with more of the reality opens up the connection to the spiritual. Once your experience is imparting more truth, there's a sense of opening up, softening, easiness, enlargement, fulfillment, and gratification. As a side effect of becoming in touch with more of the truth, your brain gets quieter as you merely have less to consider. Even acknowledging a simple truth like where your keys are provides you less to consider. The spirit also makes up our attitude, general feelings, moods, tendencies and so forth. Learn the steps in developing these human traits and you will find the way to heal the hidden self. Many people struggle with emotions. This is because these people have not explored self to their fullest ability to find their true direction. Often these people lack self-control, and will act on impulses. Impulses can lead us to react out of accord to our purpose, which leads to unfavorable consequences. Hence, we must develop self-control in order to think through each decision. Self-awareness refers to the understanding of our inner-self. This is also intricately linked with the concept of self-consciousness. This means analyzing of one's own personality and recognizing its identity. It enables an individual to know his strengths and weaknesses and work on it to improve his inner self.
