Regular performance of self-awareness inventories serve several purposes. It allows you to develop a keen awareness of thoughts, feelings and sensations that are usually ignored. It develops skills such that you can identify what is 'off'when you are not feeling quite 'right' and combined with what you will learn in your sessions, you will be able to correct any imbalance in the moment.
For the purpose of any healing session work, a self-awareness inventory is the opportunity for you to get an accurate snapshot of how you are being and how you are feeling immediately before and after the session. This will be a hand written inventory which usually takes 10-20 minutes for most people.
Especially for those of us who 'can handle anything' and tend to dismiss how they are feeling on any level, I recommend using the 'pain' scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is very intensely uncomfortable and 1 is slightly annoying. Be sure to have numbers high enough before the session that you can tell that there is a difference.

The Advanced Self-Awareness Inventory is appropriate for people who can do a thorough Basic inventory and not find very much. During the initial sequence of Energy Balancing sessions, many clients will move from pain, emotional issues and overstimulated thinking to neutral. Compared with where they started either with Energy Balancing, or when they started their healing path, they're feeling 'great'. Performing this level of inventory while you are not yet generally at 'neutral' may be a bit depressing and is not recommended.
Imagine if you will, that who you really ARE were to incarnate into a new body totally conscious, without limits, without the affect of society, of parents, of the stress of work. Imagine that in this new body your body moved freely at its perfect experience of flexibility, strength and mass. Listen to the silence of quiet thinking. Feel the living-in-the-moment freedom of free-flowing emotions.
Imagine if you will, while in this totally conscious body, that you are filled with gentle loving feelings, that you look around and lovingly accept and embrace everything around you, that you think of others with clarity and openness.
For this inventory, review your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects for how you are BEing NOW and review this new spectacular view of who you really ARE. Write any differences in your inventory.
With each practice session, delve ever deeper into the subtleties of differentiation. In addition to feeling your knees physically, take a moment to truly sink in and feel how they feel. Feel the energy vortex between your knees. Feel the strength of the spin and its direction. Examine your relationships, looking for any residual thoughts, judgements or feelings.
The Advanced Self-Awareness Inventory is the next step in moving your 'normal' to a new level of excellence. Have some fun with it!
