Two (of many) dimensions that describe our
actions are 1) our level of awareness (or
mindfulness, or consciousness) and 2) our degree
of spontaneity at a given moment. Mapping these
dimensions across each other results in four
distinct ways of being, four modes, although
the boundaries are arbitrary and highly fluid.
Theres no implied hierarchyno one mode is
bestbut a given mode may be best suited to our
needs at a given moment. What characterizes each
mode for you? Are certain modes easy or
difficult? Are you able to identify and use the
mode that best fits the moment?
