 Describe yourself.
 Try not to censor any thoughts
which come to your mind.
 Include descriptions of our

Include here an
assessment of how well
you reason and solve
problems, your capacity to
learn and create, your
general amount of
knowledge, your specific
areas of knowledge,
wisdom you have acquired,
and insights you have.
Write as many
words or phrase
about typical
feelings you have,
feelings you
seldom have,
feelings you try to
avoid, feelings you
especially enjoy,
feelings from your
past and present,
and feelings which
are associated with
each other.
 Write how you feel as a sensual person.
 What sense do you use most - sight, hearing, speaking,
smelling, touching?
 How do you feel about the different ways you take in
information – through the eyes, ears, mouth, nose,
pores, and skin.
 In what ways do you let information in and out of your
body?
 Include descriptions of

How do you

What do you like

Descriptions could be in
the areas of maintenance
of your living
environment: reaction to
light, temperature, space,
weather, colors, sound
and seasons, and your
impact on the
environment.
 Write words or phrase which tells
about how you feel in this area.
 This could include your feelings
about yourself and organized
religion, reactions about your
spiritual connections to others,
feelings about your spiritual
development and history, and
thought about your metaphysical
self.
 Think about your inner peace and
joy.
 Think about your spiritual regimen
or routine.
 Write about the eight segments of your

 What are the words or phrases which represent
aspects about yourself which you like?
 What are the items which you consider to be
weaknesses or areas for improvement?
 What words which are neutral or factual, such
as “5 feet 4 inches tall, 120 pounds”?
Physical or tangible aspects as
they relate to the body,
The intellectual and conscious
aspects as they relate to the mind,
The emotional and intuitive
aspects as they relate to the spirit.
Physical or tangible aspects
 Many individuals put a strong emphasis on the physical
aspect of the self. The body is tangible, obvious, and we
respond to it easily.
 More time and money is spent on enhancing the physical
component than either of the other two aspects.
 This does not mean, however, that the body is healthy or
strong.
 The body provides a place to house the spirit (often
experienced as feelings) and the mind (often experienced as
thought).
 The mind is important, as it is the part of the
self that directs the other two aspects.
 The mind learns what to do and
communicates the information to the body
and the feelings.
 What the mind believes, the body manifests
or acts on, and the emotions feel, or respond
with.
 People store both healthy
and destructive thoughts and beliefs and
responds to life's circumstances in the most
prominent manner.
 The mind provides access creativity and
serenity which are necessary for such
processes as prayer, forgiveness, acceptance,
and passion.
 The human emotions are the most feared
aspect of the self, as individuals are reluctant
and unprepared to manage them.
 They are illusive and deceptive.
 A decision made under emotional stress and
strain usually impacts emotions negatively.
 Negative emotions that are not managed are
stored and repressed.
 Repression is destructive to a content self since
all feelings, not only negative ones are stored
away.
 Accessing feelings when they are needed
now becomes difficult, leaving the individual
numb and hopeless.

 1. The mind is not the unitary entity it seems to us but
consists of different parts. For example in the story there
are the two wolves and the “you” that chooses between
them.
 2. These parts of the mind/brain can interact and be in
conflict with each other i.e. the two wolves fight for
dominance over our mind and behavior.
 3. The “you” has the ability to decide which wolf it will feed.
 4. Having made a choice, “you” can decide specifically how
to “feed” or nurture the selected wolf.
 The STORY OF THE TWO WOLVES gives rise to a number of questions.
Let us share our thoughts, feelings and opinions on the following
questions.
 How aware are you of the two different opposing “wolves” operating within
your mind, one of which leads to pain and a diminished sense of life and
the other to a joyous, meaningful, and fulfilling life?
 When was the time you feel disappointed by the choice of behavior
because you knew that there was a more positive option but you just didn’t
choose it?
 What ways or techniques or exercises do you use to strengthen yourself so
as to increase its potency to choose and hence control your life?
 In what specific ways do you feed the negative wolf?
 What specific ways do you use to feed the positive wolf?
