The Real You

“To know what you are doing is the most important thing.” 
-Shunryu Suzuki 

In Shunryu’s classic, subtle style, he hints at the profound with a simple sentence.

It’s the “real I”—pure awareness—that knows the body, knows what you are doing.

This is immediately restorative: Sit quietly for a few moments and include your body in whatever you are aware of.

Again and again, remember to turn awareness back upon itself: Know you are aware.

The body is not separate from experience itself.
