FIND CONNECTION TO YOUR TRUE SELF

Encountering the self is

to return to one's own body, to find a connection with lost feelings
awareness of one's own needs
awareness and hearing of one's own thoughts
facing one's own reality; what does my life look like, how does it feel and where do I want to go?
