We must cut off the entrance to the outside world to create a “fusion of space and time” that allows us to connect with our authentic self. It is a time when you will find that great ideas come to mind, you find moments of clarity in a difficult situation, solutions to problems; evolve, etc. the purpose of introspection is to let your thoughts go where they need to so that you not only connect to your primal self, you open your thought processes and connect to your inner wisdom. As we move forward in life, the greatest gift we can give ourselves is the gift of introspection. By observing our own behavior and addressing not only the reactions, but also the reasons behind them, we can learn to change the patterns that cause us pain or do not serve our best interests..
