In this series, we start our self-awareness journey by understanding each of its modalities and exploring it deeply to truly cultivate self-awareness. In my quest to to become present in life, I tried everything: self-help, breathwork, different forms of meditation. Until, the path of non-duality gave me the tools to investigate my own experience to find the Truth of my experience for myself.

The term 'self-awareness' is used all the time, but I have not found a practical way of becoming truly self-aware. The explanation and practices are often incomplete and are too theoretical. So I wanted to create something that I have learned in the last 12+ years of exploration.

There are three different modalities of awareness:

1. First: Awareness of the outside world -- People, situations, things. What's happening around you.
2. Second: Awareness of the inside world. Your thoughts, your feelings, your sensations. What's happening within you.
3. Third: Awareness of Oneself. The "I" that's aware of itself—awareness of awareness.

Each modality is subtler than the last. And to master the deeper ones, you have to start with the first, foundational, and relatively easy.

In this video, we are breaking down the first modality: awareness of the external world. Let’s dive in.
