To be Self-Conscious is to be overly concerned with some aspect of our behaviour – words, actions, body language, appearance, how we come across to others – such that we are inhibiting ourselves and modifying ourselves unnaturally and awkwardly. This is caused by … you guessed it … self-judgement.
It’s the quality we’re in when we self-sabotage, when we have a ‘No’ Permission around something, because even though we think we’re trying hard to allow ourselves to be or have something, we’re actually making sure that we don’t allow that thing, because we’re not allowed it.
So the opposite of that, the absence of being Self-Conscious, is the quality of being Unselfconscious, and in this state we have no worries about whether how we behave or come across meets the approval of our inner selfjudgements, because there are none. We are totally being us, in our Being, and this is a wonderful state of experience. It’s also our natural state, and the one that supports our wellbeing.
