Our weekly series with Indira Kennedy and her 8 Elements for Self Mastery continues as we delve into deeper thought with Contemplation.  

Would you rather have a way of exploring your thoughts in ways that actually lead you out of the maze of possibilities and straight to the richest answers? The process is simple, the practice is mastered over time! 

According to Indira, Founder and Director of Conscious Leadership, the practice of contemplation is key to leadership. It starts with thinking and then goes beyond it. Contemplation uses the skills of Mindfulness to ask for deeper answers beyond the rational brain by going into the Knowledge of the Heart. This Knowledge is pure wisdom.

Indira shares and encourages a simple process to bring this to life: 

1. Think of your dilemma and spending time WRITING out all the details - what is the real dilemma?
2. Create a question that will help you crystallize the answer to your dilemma - go deeper and beyond. 
3. Sit quietly and be STILL. BREATHE. WRITE down what comes to mind.
4. Repeat steps 2-4 at least 3 times - you may receive a different answer. The answer from your heart is usually the truth. 
5. See what the answer means to you and how you apply it to your original dilemma - journal and decide what action you will take.

It may sound simple - it will become so. Practice this over time, ensure you set aside quality time to do it and as you improve, you will be ready to link it to the other Elements in moments of calm or storm.

Know you to be you!
