This document discusses the concept of paramnam, which refers to the infinite mind. It explores how the mind is colored by past experiences and influences our lives by either limiting possibilities or recognizing them. It then uses the seven chakras as guidelines for increasing self-awareness and presence. Each chakra represents a question about the self, relationships, abilities, authenticity, expression, higher mind, and universal connection. Techniques like asana, pranayama and meditation can help consciously face habits and emotions. The overall aim is to awaken one's full awareness, recognize it, refine it and expand it to our unlimited potential.

ourselves and cultivate the other part, but
we could simply look at our Joe-Schmit-
ness, the you-ness, with openness. When
the kind of friendliness to oneself occurs,
then one also develops friendlieness
toward the rest of the world. At that point,
sadness, loneliness, and wretchedness
begin to dissipate.”
