This is a brief meditative practice that shifts our attention from embedded in the physical towards seeing from the wider vision of the soul. 

It's the switch from our thoughts having us to us having our thoughts, so we may explore how we are so much more than regular experience. 

Philosophy and psychology offer endless theories of the self, yet it's essence remains elusive. William James brought the distinction between the self as both actor and perceiver into psychology in the late 19th century. C.G. Jung called this the Self (capital "S"). In contemporary psychology, Internal Family Systems views the selves as multiple, yet acknowledges the presence of an overarching one. 

In spiritual traditions, the interplay between regular consciousness and the transcendent often adopt a similar view that we are both the physical being and the etheric self, or the part of us that abides beyond the corporeal. Merging the psychological with the spirit yields a pathway for practice that guides us to seeing from soul, and unifying the mundane with the mystical.

Perhaps the only way to understand what's been called the soul, the spirit, the higher self, or even the third eye, is through experiencing this shift in gaze. 

The exercise guides you through the process to aid in activating this deeper "watcher."
