About this session
- Clarifies your purpose
- Relaxes the body
- Sorts your values
- Sharpens inner focus
This session starts by softening the body: a comforting, floating light travels to wherever you hold tension. From that ease, you put questions to the deeper part of yourself and listen with your body, letting answers arrive as words, feelings or images. A notepad is welcome, and you can keep your eyes open to write.
It suits anyone at a crossroads, or who suspects their goals were shaped by family, culture or habit. Use it in the morning to set a direction for the day, or in late afternoon to pause and reconnect before the evening. Return to it as your answers change over time.

See all by Monroe InstituteQuestions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does it mean to "listen with your body"?
After each question, you aren't asked to talk yourself through it. Instead you feel for new information, which may come as words, a feeling or an image. Some of it may only make sense later, and the guide says that is fine.
Why look at what you want to move away from, not only what you want to move toward?
The session asks about both: things that matter to you, such as a quality or an achievement, and things you'd like gone, such as a habit or a circumstance. For each, you ask what it would make possible and how it would feel. Together they show your values from two sides.
What are the questions I'll be asking myself?
For what you want more of: what will this give me, how will I feel, what would it make possible. For what you want less of: how will it feel when it's gone, what does that bring, and how does that express you. You do this three times in each direction.
Why does it ask whether an idea is someone else's?
The opening warns against being overly influenced by ideas of what your purpose should be. While exploring, you check that each answer isn't someone else's voice or what you ought to do. You keep what inspires you and what you genuinely resonate with.
Can I open my eyes and write during the session?
Yes. The guide suggests a notepad and says it's fine to open your eyes and note answers down, as long as you stay fairly mindful, which it says enhances the process. You can sit up or lie down.
What happens once I've named all six answers?
You look at them together, perhaps as if on a screen, and imagine how you might live while moving toward some things and away from others. The session describes them as a guide for making new maps while staying true to yourself. It also says they will evolve over time, toward a deeper and truer expression of you.
