You were born into this world with the inner spark of consciousness. Awareness of this consciousness is the essential feature of being human. It is the superpower that enables you to create meaning in the world around you, project yourself into a scene outside the current space and time, and imagine abstract potential to make the unreal real. But with the knowing you exist comes the anxiety of knowing that someday you will not. This existential anxiety lurks in your subconscious and manifests in all sorts of dysfunctional ways.
In this introduction to the Goodnight Lovelies meditation, host D.S. Moss describes how by contemplating mortality for just ten minutes a day surfaces the death anxiety from your subconscious to your conscious mind, allowing it to be reshaped into positive behaviors that benefit you in profound ways.
