Introspection includes practices of self-analysis designed to take stock of positive and negative characteristics in our personality, eliminate the unwanted and incompatible aspects of one’s character, strengthen the habits of good thought, word and deed and discerning and rejecting the habits which are unwanted.
The five techniques of introspection are:
- Analysis of Thoughts
- Streamlining of Desires
