The mindful mirror-gazing practice
- Position a mirror in a well-lit space so that you can see into your eyes. Sit on a meditation cushion or chair with feet on the ground. Sit with yourself for 10 minutes.
- Tune in to your breathing while breathing regularly.
- Gaze into your eyes. Is your gaze harsh or soft? If hard, try to soften your gaze.
- Observe your inner critic, then see the person under that critic. That's who you really are.
- Notice any sensations or emotions that arise and allow them to be there without judgment or interpretation.
You may be surprised how your view of yourself can change.

Just for a second, stop whatever you're doing and get comfortable. A zazen cushion works best for this. But if you haven’t got one, simply sit on the floor, the edge of the sofa, or the chair you're currently on.
