Why Who Am I? works
Self-inquiry asks a simple question: who is aware right now? Ramana Maharshi taught it as a direct path, and modern psychology describes a related skill called decentering, the ability to notice thoughts and feelings as experiences rather than as the whole of who you are. Decentering is one of the mechanisms researchers propose for how mindfulness reduces rumination. The game walks through name, body, thoughts, feelings, roles, memories and opinions, then invites a short rest as the awareness that noticed them all.
