A daily or frequent practice of truth-telling within oneself about fear, denial, complicity, and what we genuinely love.
Mirabai's entire life was an examined heart—she refused social convention, spoke forbidden truths, and sang her inner state without filter. The examined heart practice invites us to turn that same unflinching awareness inward regarding civilization's future. What do we deny? Where are we complicit? What do we truly love enough to grieve? This is not self-blame but radical self-knowledge. Through journaling, sitting, or speaking with trusted witnesses, we ask: What future am I preparing for in my daily choices? What am I avoiding feeling? What would change if I admitted what I already know? Mirabai's examined heart led her to renounce status and power; our examined hearts may similarly clarify what matters and what must shift in how we live.
