Olivia explores the Five Aggregates as a way the Buddha invited us to look closely at what we call a “self,” seeing it not as something solid but as a collection of changing experiences. By examining the body, feeling tone, perception, mental patterns, and awareness, we begin to understand how reactivity and suffering take shape. When we see these processes more clearly, there’s more space, compassion, and ease in how we move through our lives.

Prompt: What is one perception of you, that you have taken on as an identity? This could align with how you see yourself, or not.
