94 Ways to Know Higher Worlds, Raise Your Consciousness
Attaining self-knowledge, self-realization and self-actualization is having come online and connected with higher levels of consciousness. It is breaking out of the mind control that keeps us in lower the vibratory state of mind and consciousness. The mind is the bridge between the body and spirit. The mind or consciousness is what comes closest to spirit.
The Power of Consciousness can be developed, to evolve and derive greater comprehension of reality and truths therein. Morality is directly and inextricably linked to the term consciousness.
The shift. It is the dramatic re-ordering of one’s psyche, producing changes that greatly benefit the body, mind and spirit. It is marked by considerable expansion of awareness of the inner spaces of mind and heart, and of the inter-dependent nature of all things. It is a reconstruction of one’s life and purpose rebuilt on a foundation of truth, peace, strength and flexibility, and it is brought about by a laborious and sufferable process of reflection and self-realization. The end result of the shift is the experience of a new, world-centric perspective on life, the reclamation of mental and physical health, and the discovery of the strength, courage and fearlessness needed to wade through these interesting times.
First Some Key Components to Shift to Higher Consciousness:
➝ 1. Contemporary Consciousness – The mass consciousness
of production, consumption, submission and nihilism is where the shift
begins. This is the consensus trance that we have been programmed to
accept as real life, while obediently serving our worst interests
without examination or question. Contemporary consciousness is
acquiescence to insanity for the sake of convenience. Breaking through
contemporary consciousness is to strike the very root of our global
dilemma. Numb, drugged, and senseless, this level of consciousness is a
psychic plague blotting out our potential.
➝ 2. A Disturbance in the Force – Like a canary in a coal
mine, a warning appears from somewhere, grabbing our attention,
rattling our confidence, pulling us out of our tunnel vision. Some small
piece of information gathered from the alternative press
or from a documentary film eats at our understanding of how the world
is set up, and the shift begins. This sets the stage for a deep and
serious personal crises to erupt, and often engages a ferocious drive
for knowledge and truth.
➝ 3. An Introspective Quest for Knowledge & Truth –
Knowledge and information are the fuel for personal transformation. Once
awakened, our natural draw towards truth and justice calls us to
consider new ideas and outside perspectives as we search for a new
bearing in a crumbling understanding of the world. Introspection reveals
answers to never-before asked questions and the accompanying interest
in ‘alternative’ information and ideas provides answers that profoundly
contradict contemporary consciousness. Once this quest is initiated the
world never again looks the same.
➝ 4. The Dark Night of the Soul
– The disturbance begins to conflict with contemporary consciousness so
severely that the amount of cognitive dissonance required to adhere to
the status quo life manifests materially as serious personal mental and
physical health crises.
The foundation for this catastrophic and catalyzing series of events
has been under construction for most of life up to this point, and as
such, the mind, body and spirit can be forced to endure unimaginable
lows as the entire sum and meaning of one’s existence is smashed and
broken to pieces under the weight of one’s denial about their complicity
in their own self-destruction.
This
is the ultimate test. To pass it one must endure the pain to the
ultimate degree, and simply not give up. For many, the dark night of the
soul
lasts for years, marking the most serious, frightening and
life-changing phase of life. Succumbing to the suffering here means
giving in to total annihilation and choosing the path of serious
self-deceit, total submission to ego and to false authority, addiction,
reckless endangerment of the self, suicide, overdose, etc.
➝ 5. Discovery of Real Medicine
– Something helps us
through this crisis by easing the pain of our suffering, gently
re-building positive energy and providing sufficient distraction while
the body and spirit begin to reclaim health. Medicine here is not
pharmaceutical, but therapeutical, and can come in the form of an
artistic endeavor or exercise, or better yet, an intense study of an
esoteric healing physical art like Qi Gong, Yoga, Kung Fu, meditation,
and so on. Medicine may also be found amongst healers, therapists,
shaman, or even plant medicines like Ayahuasca and Iboga.
Finding the activity or experience that nudges you away from the brink
of destruction and towards healing is a critical component of the shift.
➝ 6. Purification and Detox
– Along the quest for knowledge we discover the toxic nature of our
processed and sedentary lifestyle and realize the need for detox and
purification.
Learning about fluoride, heavy metals, GMO’s and the poisons in our
food reveals the link between our emotional state, stress levels,
well-being and conscious awareness. A new relationship with food is
developed and taking care of the body and health gradually becomes
easier.
Our
toxic environment also includes our social atmosphere and here we
are compelled to tune out of mainstream media, conversation and logic,
purging ourselves of the garbage that so many people consider important.
Our consumption of mainline ideas is reduced and our mind regains a
footing of independence in a sea of sensationalized conformity.
➝ 7. Re-thinking of Authority, Dependence and Liberty –
As the detox pushes older versions of the self out of the way,
rejuvenating the psyche, a new picture of the self emerges in a world
that no longer looks anything like it did before. The designs of control
and manipulation governing our social institutions and traditions are
rightfully exposed as farcical constructs that deter our evolution,
while modern politics and government are understood to be laughable
traps of dependence and deceit and therefore no longer beneficial to
positive growth. The people that invest their lives and identities in
these schemes seem desperate and needy of purpose, fanatical and
outrageously too certain and too serious about life.
Non-conformity
and non-compliance become moral obligations and liberty is revalued to
include freedom from living in the fear-based consciousness offered as
the default way of life. Ordinary people seem strange now in how they
self-organize into ridiculous pecking orders, squabbling for position at
work and submitting to any ‘authority figure’ with a badge and cheap
uniform. It becomes clear that freedom has less to do with laws and more
to do with voluntary submission, and liberty becomes a constant
struggle to decrease dependence on the systems that complicate life.
➝ 8. Letting Go of and Discarding that Which Does Not Serve
– In order to move through the process of transformation, it is
absolutely necessary to jettison the things, people, relationships,
habits, and ideas which no longer serve and support us. Human beings
energetically interact with the objects and people in our environment,
and eliminating and purging sources of stagnant energy and negativity
creates space for new experience and inspiration to enter and flow into
life. This is one of the most renewing components in this
transformation.
➝ 9. Initiation into Mystery – Material science and
mainstream thought exclude forms of mystery and paranormal activity from
consideration in our culture, therefore making an initiation into the
world of the unexplainable a common feature of the shift. For some
reason, as a person changes in this fashion, strange and fascinating
events occur that chip away at the certainties that support consensus
material reality. Synchronicities
emerge and moments of clarity give greater meaning to the mundane.
Awareness of the subtle life force energy, Qi or Prana, develops, and
ancient modalities of thought and concentration elicit strangely
powerful revelations. Once the veil of the rigid scientific mindset is pierced,
intuition and curiosity flourish and one re-assesses the potential in
all things and in all circumstances, abandoning certainty in favor of
wonder. Life becomes at sacred, as it should be.
-------------------------------------------------------------
1. Connect with nature – Go for a walk in the forest, jungle, field of daisies, or wherever you feel like getting a connection with nature. It is possible to feel at deep sense of peace and oneness when you attempt to connect with nature. As you learn to connect and appreciate nature, you allow your consciousness to rise up.
2. Get your body moving – Exercise and dancing will raise your
consciousness by promoting healthy brainwave patterns, healthy
neurotransmitter levels, and great circulation throughout your nervous
system. Help yourself rise up and break the pattern of not exercising by
going for a friendly walk with one of your friends or even going to the
club to dance. Both examples are: easy, fun, and empowering.
3.
Simple meditation - Whether you are an advanced meditator or a
beginner, the benefits are tremendous and will allow you to tap into
your highest state of conscious functioning if you stick around long
enough. It is an act that will definitely raise your conscious awareness
and allow you to attain greater focus, discipline, and develop a deeper
joyous connection to life.
4. Spending time with true friends -
Find only friends that align with who you are, your beliefs, and your
values – they will make you more conscious. These are your true friends,
and though they can be tough to find, they should definitely be
cherished. Give some of your true friends a call and make it a habit to
spend more time with them.
5. Have the intention to “raise your
consciousness” – If you have the intention to raise your consciousness
and state of awareness, you are on the right track. Having the intention
alone will make you more focused on finding ways to raise your
consciousness.
6. Tell the truth - Anytime you tell the truth,
you raise your level of consciousness. Why do people tell lies? To
protect themselves in lower states of consciousness. People in higher
states of consciousness don’t lie because they want to be true to
themselves, others, and make relationships in humanity more conscious.
7. Find and live your purpose - Searching for a purpose will help you
find your true purpose here on Earth. When you find your purpose and are
able to share it with the rest of the world, you will continue to raise
your level of consciousness.
8. Take conscious control of your
decisions - When you take conscious control of all your decisions, you
are actually activating certain neural pathways in your brain that help
promote self-control, calmness, and inner peace. Every time you allow
others to dictate your decisions or you don’t take full conscious
responsibility for your decisions, you become slightly conditioned to be
less conscious when making choices.
9. Always be open-minded -
Being open-minded is a key aspect in the process of becoming a more
conscious individual. When you haven’t accepted the diversity that our
planet has to offer: ranging from different cultures, religions,
wildlife, and beliefs, you will stay in your same s
10. Pursue higher intelligence - There are many ways to become more
intelligent. Not everyone is intelligent in every area of their life.
Some people are more emotionally intelligent, some have a higher I.Q.,
while some are more spiritually intelligent. All forms of intelligence
increases and enhancements will help you on your journey towards
expanding your awareness and becoming a more conscious human being.
11. Treat yourself with respect - Having respect for yourself and your
actions will ultimately boost the amount of love that you express
towards yourself and others. Make wise, respectful decisions that
reflect your values and have strong respect for your personal beliefs.
Treating others with respect will help you become a more conscious human
being too, but before you can respect others properly, you must first
learn to show the utmost respect towards yourself.
12. Practice
forgiveness - Forgiving yourself can be very difficult sometimes:
especially if you are operating in a lower state of consciousness.
Realize that in order to rise up, advance, and become a more conscious
person, you must be compassionate and forgiving towards yourself. Any
hateful thoughts or pent up negative emotions that you may be holding
towards yourself need to be released. Negative thoughts and emotions can
easily lower our level of consciousness if we do not practice
compassion and forgiveness.
13. Cultivate a “high-performance
mind” - Cultivating a high-performance mind is a very fun, invigorating
process that involves consciously accessing the brainwave state that you
consciously choose, whenever you feel it is appropriate for a certain
situation. Since their is no single best brainwave state to live life
in, it helps to train our mind to consciously be able to “switch” states
upon command. For those who want to understand more about developing a
high-performance mind, I recommend that you go check out the book The
High Performance Mind by Anna Wise.
14. Connect through prayer –
The act of simply closing your eyes, folding your hands and saying a
prayer will raise your level of consciousness. There are many different
ways to practice prayer and there are many different practices, that
when combined with prayer, enhance the power of your conscious message.
Overall, prayer is a great experience that has potential to aid in your
conscious awareness.
15. Challenge your belief system - This one
can be difficult for many individuals due to the influence of imprinted
beliefs by their parents or guardians during childhood. Some examples
of beliefs that you could change include: dietary (changing to a
vegetarian), spiritual (from Christianity to Atheism – or vice versa),
emotional (from sadness to happiness), etc. By changing your belief
system and experimenting with new beliefs, you make yourself more
conscious of life’s endless possibilities.
16. Befriend
like-minded individuals - On your journey towards becoming a more
conscious individual, befriending like-minded people can be extremely
helpful. If you are going through many spiritual, emotional, and mental
changes without the company of others, the process can be much more
difficult and confusing than when you have a guide, guru, or some
friends that are traveling at a similar pace to you. Not only is being
around like-minded individuals healthy, and optimal for your
consciousness, it will ultimately give you more joy in life!
17.
Pursue a path of spirituality - Pursuing a path of spirituality and
becoming more spiritual will aid you considerably in the process of
becoming a more conscious human being. Never be afraid to add a new
spiritual practice to your arsenal – you never know what may be most
effective or a life changing experience.
18. Express gratitude -
Expressing gratitude on a daily basis is a very positive, fulfilling
exercise to practice. Ways to express gratitude on a daily basis
include: giving thanks for your food, expressing gratitude for yourself
and others through prayer (as discussed earlier), complimenting others,
and letting another person know that you are thankful for having them in
your life. By sharing and expressing gratitude, you feel extremely
satisfied and will become more consciously aware of the things that you
truly appreciate in life.
19. Make yourself happy - What sort of
things make you happy? The answer is usually different for everyone.
You can do yourself a favor right now by making a long list of
everything that makes you happy in life and acting on your listed items.
Feeling and experiencing happiness in your life also will give you the
powerful drive that it takes to make yourself more conscious.
20. Act on your desires - Simply having any form of desire will raise
your consciousness. Desire encourages us to take action to advance
consciously. The state of apathy, or not caring about your
consciousness, will naturally lower your consciousness. Desire is a
powerful way to raise your consciousness.
21. Boost your brain
power and functioning - There are many helpful exercises that you can do
to boost your brain power and overall level of functioning. One of my
most popular articles, 50 Ways To Boost Your Brain Power, should get you
on the right track if you are currently confused about the topic.
Raising your level of consciousness will naturally boost your overall
brain power, and boosting your brain power will raise your level of
consciousness; both affect each other in equal proportion.
22.
Take full control of your lifestyle - Are you living the lifestyle that
you feel is most beneficial for your mental and physical wellbeing?
Maybe there are certain bad habits that you need to get rid of or
certain good habits that you’d like to implement in your daily routine.
Don’t be afraid to act now and make necessary positive changes in your
lifestyle to help you take full conscious control.
23. Choose
empowering beliefs - In the process of changing beliefs, choose beliefs
that are empowering to your soul. A good way to know what belief will be
empowering is to simply ask yourself how you feel about adding the new
belief. If you feel a strong connection with a new belief, such as
feelings of excitement, it will probably be a very good choice of a
belief to implement. Make a conscious effort to purge all beliefs that
are less than satisfying. Understand also that as you become a more
conscious human being, changing your beliefs will become a much easier,
more natural process.
24. Avoid physical fighting and abuse -
Physical fighting stems from emotional misunderstandings, hatred, and
negative emotional expressions. Fighting can be described as the
opposite of peace. Physical fighting and other forms of abuse can really
do a great job at distracting us from becoming more conscious human
beings. Anything that you can do to stop physical fighting and abuse
will ultimately make you and the individuals involved more consciously
aware.
25. Be aware and accepting of your emotions - No matter
your current emotions, you will profoundly help yourself if you are
accepting of them. Going through life resisting your emotions and
trapping them inside yourself makes life much more difficult. Trying to
escape from our emotions lowers our awareness. When you accept what you
feel and consciously understand why you feel a certain emotion, your
level of consciousness rises.
26. Speak compassionately - When
having conversation with others, do you choose your words wisely? Or are
you the type of person who could care less what you say? The truth is,
people who choose their words wisely and consciously think during
conversation are the ones who show greater respect for themselves and
more compassion for others. Make a conscious effort to speak
compassionately and positive results will follow.
27. Think
positive, act positive, be positive - Being a positive influence sets a
good example for others and for yourself. Positivity and states of being
positive are direct effects of raising your consciousness. I highly
recommend trying to be a more positive person in all areas of life; you
will notice and feel the beneficial changes in your awareness.
28. Have sex with your partner - Having sexual intercourse is a great
way to spread and share your love with another person. The best way to
have sexual intercourse is with another positive, healthy, person in
which you fully love and trust. Having sexual intercourse is a loving
way of transferring and sharing energy with another person. No matter
who you have sexual intercourse with, there can be significant conscious
benefits.
29. Identify with your soul - Realize that at your
core, you are a spiritual being who is living in a physical body. In
lower stages of consciousness, this concept may seem unrealistic and may
be very difficult to grasp. As you become better at identifying with
your soul, you become better at working your way up the mountain of
consciousness.
30. See perceived faults as a “mirror image” -
When you look at the faults of others and identify faults in other
people, use them as a teaching tool for yourself. The people that are in
your life weren’t put there by mistake, they were put there to teach
you something about yourself. By being able to take personal
responsibility for what is being displayed by others into your conscious
focus, you can take the information and make very positive changes.
31. Expand your horizons - Trying something new can pertain to any area
of your life. Maybe you want to try to add a new healthy habit to your
daily routine, shop at an organic store, or even host a block party for
the first time. Having courage raises your consciousness and by
constantly trying new things, you boost your cognitive ability to adapt
and push through any lower states of fear.
32. Face your deepest
fears - Are there any fears that you’re holding inside that are prevent
you from making conscious advancement? At certain stages along the
ladder of consciousness, it can be extremely difficult to face your
fears. With that said, facing your fears will equip your consciousness
with more empowerment and energy. Healthy fears include: giving a
speech, singing in front of others, or throwing a party; this would be a
great list of fears to go out and conquer! The choice to face these
will help you considerably in your ability to make conscious advances.
33. Use powerful incantations - Incantations are simply words or
phrases repeated over and over with emotional intensity for personal or
spiritual benefit. They have commonly been used in religious practices
to praise certain Gods or deities, but they have also be used for
personal development and in the process of becoming more conscious. No
matter what way you choose to use incantations, they can be very helpful
and a powerful catalyst for helping you become more conscious.
34. Practice positive affirmations - Affirmations are a bit different
than using incantations, though the concepts are very similar.
Affirmations are used to change beliefs and thinking patterns. Examples
of positive affirmations include: “I am healthy,” “I am positive,” and
“I am intelligent.” The primary goal of using affirmations should be to
replace unhealthy beliefs and thought patterns with healthier ones;
making it easier to scale the mountain of consciousness.
35. Be
aware of your state of consciousness - Unfortunately, many people aren’t
aware of their current state of consciousness or what even defines
consciousness. You may not even be consciously aware of the many diverse
possible states of consciousness due to the fact that you may have only
experienced one primary state of functioning throughout your lifetime.
If you are a person who hasn’t experienced other states or most
importantly cannot seem to understand your own state, you are definitely
missing out some important aspects and understandings of conscious
perception.
36. Set a positive example for others - Setting a
positive example for others can pertain to any area of life and is
highly encouraged. Setting a healthy, positive example for others to
follow spreads a direct positive image into the lives and minds of
others. Trying to consciously set a good example for others, will
further raise your consciousness. Setting a bad example, or unconscious
example, will slow, halt, or reverse your current conscious development.
37. Guide others interested in raising their consciousness - There are
many ways to aid others in the process of raising their awareness,
especially if you are a more consciously advanced individual. Chances
are good that you’ll need to do some personal work with raising your own
consciousness before you can put yourself in an effective position to
help others raise their consciousness. What you may want to do, though,
is encourage others to practice some items in this article.
38. Share your unique insight and wisdom -
Everyone has a different perspective based on their personal
experience, purpose, and personality. Therefore, each individual has a
unique form of insight that they can share with others. There are
endless ways and opportunities for you to express and share your
knowledge with others. All that you need to do is take action towards
finding a medium most effective for allowing you to share your insight.
39. Gain wisdom from others - No single person holds all the wisdom of
the universe in their brain. For this reason, it is important to study
the wisdom of others and try to apply their wisdom to your life. As
mentioned earlier, everyone has a unique perspective and knowledge-base
to bring to the table. Studying the wisdom of others can be done in many
ways. Examples include: meeting face-to-face with a more consciously
advanced individual and ask them for life advice, reading positivity and
personal development websites from several different sources, or maybe
attending different personal development seminars.
40. Keep your
ego in check - The more aware you are of your ego, the easier it is to
become more conscious. With that said, as your awareness increases, so
does your state of consciousness. The reverse also applies: as your
consciousness increases, so does your awareness. Letting our ego get out
of control and take the driver’s seat in our consciousness has
potential to quickly lower our state of functioning. Taking full control
and responsibility to keep your ego in check when faced with adversity
will allow you to consciously advance in a much healthier manner.
41. Practice personal development - Taking action to better your life
through the concept of personal development is an extremely effective
way to make yourself a more conscious human being. Think of personal
development as the act of upgrading every area of your life to function
at the highest possible level: health, finances, relationships, etc.
Virtually all aspects of personal development lead to greater conscious
development in one way or another.
42. Shift your conscious
focus - Being preoccupied with thoughts of past events and of the future
has potential to lead your consciousness in the wrong direction.
Focusing your attention on this exact moment (commonly referred to as
“the now”), however, is a great way to raise your level of awareness. By
learning techniques that allow you to shift your awareness to this
exact moment, you can work wonders in the process of conscious
advancement.
43. Be energetic - Being energetic can be very
powerful for advancing your state of consciousness and for inspiring
others to become more consciously advanced. Your body can become
energized and your brain can become energized. When both are operating
in at maximum intensity and energy, you are said to be in a state of
peak conscious performance.
44. Make healthy dietary changes -
Making healthy dietary changes means searching to find the best possible
diet to fit your mental needs, physical needs, spiritual needs; to fit
your needs. Are you fully conscious of what you are consuming? In order
to boost your own level of consciousness, it is important to be fully
aware of the food in which you are consuming in your diet and to be
respectful and accepting of the diets of other individuals without
making negative judgments.
45. Accept others for who they are -
As mentioned above in being conscious of what you eat, it is important
to be accepting of the diets that others choose to use. Whether they
make a conscious decision to have an unhealthy diet or unconscious
decision, accept their actions. Accepting others can apply to every area
of life. No matter if you disagree with another person’s actions,
disagree with their personality, or disagree with their perception of
life, it is important to accept them for who they are and not try to
force changes upon them. Settle your disagreements with other
individuals by purely accepting them for who they are.
46.
Accept and love yourself for who are - Life’s journey becomes much
easier and significantly enriched if you can learn to accept yourself
for who you are. Depending on your current state of consciousness, it
may be difficult to love and accept who you are. Take the time to count
your blessings, be accepting of yourself and your level of
consciousness. Realize that at this current moment you are doing the
best that you know how to do in order to advance consciously.
47. Understand your own thought process - An extremely effective way to
become more conscious is to take note of your thought process and
understand it to the best of your ability. I’ve seen many people run
themselves in mental circles due to an ineffective understanding of
their own thought process. Being consciously aware of your thoughts and
why you are thinking them is a key step towards creating an accurate
understanding of your reality.
48. Bless everything that happens
- There are times throughout life when amazing things happen to us and
other times when upsetting events take place. Just like accepting who
you are is a great habit to get into, you should also learn to bless
everything that happens in your life. No matter how bad an event, it has
potential to make a positive impact on your life in the long run. Your
ability to bless and appreciate, even what may be initially perceived as
a worst case scenario, will ultimately provide you great conscious
satisfaction.
49. Take time for internal reflection - In my
opinion, taking time for internal reflection is the single most
effective way to learn more about yourself and your current state of
consciousness. Internal reflection will certainly help you better
understand your thoughts, emotions, spirituality, and provide clarity in
your current life situation. If you don’t currently take time to
internally reflect, you could very well start up a 20 minute meditation
routine each morning and observe the difference it quickly makes in your
state of consciousness.
50. Focus on advancing consciously - In
the process of conscious development, it’s important to focus exactly
on what you are trying to accomplish: the act of becoming more
conscious. During this process, it is important to tune out all
unhealthy distractions such as: negative relationships, abuse, fighting,
illicit drugs, etc. If you allow yourself to become distracted with
unhealthy, unconscious habits, then act of advancing consciously will
become a much more difficult or slower process than normal.
51.
Be aware of your breathing - Being aware of your breathing means being
fully conscious of your breathing pattern. Being aware of how you are
breathing is important. Unfortunately, many people are unaware that
there is actually a proper way to breathe. A way of breathing that is
optimal for your body and brain. Proper breathing involves inhaling
through your nose and exhaling through your mouth upon every breath. The
process of becoming more aware of my breathing through exercises like
meditation and conscious breathing have significantly helped me increase
my overall level of focus, emotional stability, and level of
consciousness.
52. Spend more time with yourself - In the
fast-paced lifestyle of the 21st century, it is very common for people
to spend time with others, yet never take personal time to spend with
themselves and focus on their own life. If you are an individual who is
currently not taking enough time for yourself each day, try starting up a
personal routine. Examples of ways that you could spend time with
yourself, contributing positively to your own life include: taking time
for internal reflection (meditation), letting yourself know how much you
love yourself, going on a walk to listen to your own thoughts, giving
gratitude for everything that you have in your life, or getting involved
in a hobby that inspires you.
53. Listen more often than you
speak - In this day in age, it seems as though there is always someone
that wants to be the center of attention; conversations easily become
viewed as egoistic competitions. While being the center of attention can
feel great and can be a rewarding experience, it can become consciously
dangerous to your consciousness if it is motivated by your ego. By
practicing the act of listening more often than you speak, you can train
yourself to be more consciously aware of others, while still holding
the conscious ability to politely contribute to a conversation.
54. Muster up some courage - Being highly conscious means doing what you
want to do, saying what you want to say, and living how you want to
live at every moment. Somewhere along the path towards developing a
highly conscious mindset, you will need to be courageous. Developing a
sense of courage is an integral step, possibly a phase that may last
several years, on your journey to become more conscious.
55.
Always act with compassion - Having complete compassion for others is a
direct result of becoming more conscious. Unfortunately, there are few
people here on Earth that are honestly able to make the claim that they
always act with complete compassion for others. Compassion meditation
also allows you to learn how to shift your mental focus from any state
into a perspective of pure love for others. As you may have already
guessed, practicing compassion can be one of the single most powerful
exercises for boosting your level of consciousness.
56. Improve
your mental focus - Improving our mental focus helps us get a better
understanding of reality and provides us with more inner clarity. As we
enhance our level of focus and clarity, concepts that had previously
seemed very difficult to understand become general knowledge. We get a
better sense of understanding within ourselves and of the world around
us. As your level of focus increases, so will your level of
consciousness.
57. Think rationally and logically - Being able
to think rationally and logically allows you to positively interact with
your reality much easier than being irrational and illogical. In fact,
being irrational and illogical will actually lower your current level of
awareness. Rational thinking is a byproduct of a high functioning
brain, particularly the high activity within your left-prefrontal
cortex. One great way to increase your ability to rationalize is to
strengthen your brain’s level of functioning by boosting your brain
power.
58. Purify your body - One great way to become more
conscious is to purify your body. You can help purify your body by going
on a specific diet, by cutting certain substances from your diet, by
decreasing stress and learning to deeply relax, by cutting certain
substances from your diet, by sitting in a sauna to sweat out toxins,
etc. While following a detox routine, be conscious of what you are doing
to your body. Be fully aware that you should choose a detox routine
that has been researched and proven effective in order to avoid risking
bodily damage in the process. With that said, choosing to purify or
cleanse your body can really work magic for your current level of
consciousness.
59. Start a personal journal - Starting a
personal journal or blog is a great time investment that will allow
yourself to become more conscious of your: thoughts, feelings, actions,
philosophies, beliefs, etc. Writing entries in a daily journal or on a
personal blog can be extremely helpful in the process of understanding
your current state of awareness. What is nice about keeping tabs on
yourself is the fact that you can watch your progress as you undertake a
conscious journey. No matter your strategy for keeping a journal,
understand that keeping tabs on yourself and events in your life serves
as a great way to develop a deeper sense of understanding, knowledge,
and conscious awareness.
60. Make others laugh - Being funny and
making others laugh is a great way to ease stress and create a more
positive outlook in life for yourself and for others. Though you may not
be an expert comedian, being able to make others laugh is extremely
rewarding and satisfying. Making others laugh and smile shifts all
attention away from pain and negative emotions, towards one of pure
enjoyment and happiness. Jokes and the ability to laugh can really
change your entire perspective from what may seem like a grim, serious
situation, to a happier, more positive outlook.
61. Practice a
religion - Practicing a religion is a phenomenal way to become a more
conscious person. As you raise your current level of awareness, you will
discover that there is really no best religion or Utopian religion to
practice. What matters most in conscious advancement is getting a feel
for what practices actually make you become more consciously aware. You
need to personally determine what works best for you. One of the best
ways to do this is via experimenting with many different religions.
62. Respect the beliefs of others - At no time is it loving or
respectful to criticize the beliefs of others. No matter how consciously
advanced another person is or isn’t, it is important to respect their
thoughts and actions. When you try to force others to adopt your
lifestyle, beliefs, and force them to become a more conscious
human-being, you are indirectly expressing negative emotion towards that
individual; you are getting your ego heavily involved. Forcing others
to consciously change is not truly accepting them for who they are. If
you feel like you should force others to raise their awareness, perhaps
you need to raise your awareness some more! It is important to realize
that everyone will have their time to advance consciously and will
eventually reach the “top of the mountain” on their journey to their
higher consciousness.
63. Ask questions about your life -
Attempting to learn more about life each day is a great way to increase
your overall knowledge base and a great way to become a more conscious
person. Nobody “knows-it-all” in life, that’s why asking questions about
life and about certain situations in life, will really help you out on
your journey. The idea here is to learn as much about life as possible.
This will allow you to make your lifestyle more conscious, your choices
more conscious, your actions more conscious, and yourself a more
knowledgeable person. If you don’t feel like asking others questions, a
great way to learn more about life is to ask yourself internal
questions. Often times we don’t realize that within ourselves, we hold
the answer to every question about our life. Meditation is highly
recommended as an exercise for learning more about our inner-self.
64. Understand that everything changes - Whether you realize it or not,
everything and everyone is in a constant state of change. Change is
undeniable and is happening to yourself and others as you are reading
this. There is no way to prevent change, but there is a way to
consciously control your change. Be the change that you want to see on
this Earth and please: make it a positive, conscious one!
65.
Realize that you are not alone - On your journey towards becoming a more
conscious human being, it is important to realize that you are never
alone in the process. Someone, somewhere is going through the same
process and many have already gone through the process. There are likely
many individuals that are more consciously advanced than you are: which
is a good thing. Look to these individuals for guidance along the way.
We can always look to more conscious individuals for personal guidance
and advice in life.
66. Push your personal limits - Pushing your
personal limits to become the best person that you can be is something
that everyone should strive for. Pushing your personal limits is
something that you can do in every area of your life: relationships,
exercise, consciousness, spirituality, finances, etc. Pushing your
personal limits in the areas that you feel most soulfully-connected with
are the areas that you should probably put the most work into in order
to feel the greatest sense of fulfillment.
67. Invest in
yourself - When you make money, do you invest it in stocks? Have you
ever thought of investing it in yourself – your purpose, vision, values,
and goals? Besides money, we can also invest time in ourselves. In my
opinion, investing time in yourself is one of the most effective ways to
become more conscious. Investing time in yourself will allow you to
discover your true purpose and become a more conscious human being.
68. Be open to exploring consciousness - There are many ways to be open
to exploring your consciousness. Several methods to explore your
consciousness include: brainwave entrainment, meditation, raising your
consciousness, trying new activities, exploring spirituality, exploring
different social groups, changing your environment (by traveling),
trying neurofeedback, etc. If you don’t know of any healthy ways to
expand your consciousness, start with the ones that I’ve listed. No need
to unnecessarily kill your brain cells and lower your consciousness by
using illicit drugs to “expand your mind…”
69. Develop a deep
relationship - Developing deep, trustworthy relationships with other
people are not only great for helping you to become more conscious, they
are a great way to share love and joy with others. If you haven’t
already done so, develop a deep, personal relationship with at least one
individual. It could be a good friend, spouse, boyfriend / girlfriend,
it could be a good therapist, it could be anyone that you feel is
on-the-same-page as you in life, or at the same level of consciousness.
Having another person to discuss your personal inner-thoughts with and
share your turmoil, joy, and all other emotions with, will actually make
you a happier, more conscious person.
70. Call upon your spirit
guides - Everyone has spirit guides – whether they believe in them and
want to communicate with them or not. Before we are born, we are
assigned spirit guides to do just what their name implies: guide our
spirit. They can often provide us with valuable advice and some forms of
intuitive connection that most of us never imagined was possible. The
best way to connect with them is to learn proper meditation. The job of
spirit guides are to help guide your spirit in the right direction and
they really want to connect with you to help you raise your
consciousness. So consider learning ways to connect with them on a
personal level, or finding an advanced spiritual seeker / psychic that
knows about spirit guides and how to connect with them. It seems as
though Erin Pavlina has gotten great reviews discussing her ability to
help you connect with your guides. Though her readings are somewhat
expensive, getting one could prove to be a great investment in order to
accelerate your personal growth and conscious development.
71.
Clear emotional blocks - Nearly everyone has some form of subconscious
emotional blocks that they have suppressed within their subconscious.
Emotional blocks can develop in childhood and can be forgotten by the
time a person reaches adulthood. They can drain your conscious control
over life if you don’t learn to properly release them. It is not advised
to attempt to deal with very powerful emotional blocks or repressed
traumatic memories by yourself. Consult a trained therapist or
psychologist to help you work through your past powerful emotion.
Realize that when you are able to work through your past emotional
blocks, you naturally allow yourself to reach a higher state of
consciousness.
72. Clear out subconscious “cobwebs” - What
exactly are subconscious “cobwebs?” I refer to subconscious cobwebs as
any unfulfilling: beliefs and emotions that have been carried around in
your subconscious mind for too long. Many times, our subconscious mind
is carrying around extra negative emotional baggage and limiting beliefs
that need to be released or replaced. If you want to clear out your
subconscious “cobwebs” and take conscious control of your subconscious
mind, consider trying meditation. Meditation takes your consciousness to
a deeper level and makes reprogramming your mind a much easier process.
73. Turn off the T.V. - Depending on your current level of
consciousness, watching T.V. may actually be a good thing. For those
individuals operating at an extremely low level of functioning, watching
T.V. gives them hope, satisfaction, and a boost in consciousness. With
that said, to permanently elevate your consciousness, it is recommended
to refrain from watching T.V. If you think about the act of watching
T.V., it doesn’t reflect your life’s purpose nor allow you to be fully
productive. The time that you currently spend watching T.V. could be put
to better use by allowing you to accomplish a personal goal, providing
you with extra time for exercise, or even giving you time to boost your
brain power!
74. Read a good book - Whether you enjoy reading
fiction or non-fiction books (or both), reading books is a phenomenal
way to help you boost your conscious brain power. Reading books provides
you with knowledge, creativity, and allows you to fully expand your
intellect. Reading books will also help you become a smarter person,
with a mind that is full of new thoughts and ideas. The more credible
information that you are able to read, the more information and
knowledge your consciousness has to consciously create with.
75.
Expand your creativity - There are many ways for us to expand our
creativity and abilities to creatively think. Developing ways to
creatively think not only boosts brain power, it boosts your
consciousness. The use of brainstorming, creative visualization, Zen
koans, and meditation have all been known to increase creative thinking
skills. Creativity is an important trait to develop when dealing with
your reality. Having creativity allows your mind to easily solve even
the most difficult of problems. If your creative-side is currently
lacking, think of ways to step-it-up a notch to reap the conscious
benefits!
76. Develop strong people-skills - Developing strong
people-skills will allow you to become more conscious in many different
ways. Having strong people skills allows you to be comfortable
expressing who you really are in any social situation. Without
developing strong people skills, you may be stuck in a state of fear
around others in social settings or even worse, you may feel completely
uncomfortable expressing your true beliefs, values, and discussing your
lifestyle in front of others. Cultivating a strong set of people-skills
will allow you to become a more conscious individual and will allow you
to share your love with others.
77. Allow yourself to be
inspired - Allowing yourself to be inspired helps you to take passionate
action. In order for us to be inspired, we usually need to have some
sort of emotional connection. Maybe you are deeply inspired by a song
that you recently heard on the radio, maybe you are inspired by Barack
Obama, maybe you are inspired by Hilary Clinton, maybe you find Pablo
Picasso’s artwork inspiring. Everyone is different and everyone is
uniquely inspired by different things here on Earth. Inspiration can
really work magic in your life if you let it. Taking actions based off
of positive inspiration will ultimately guide your consciousness to a
higher level of functioning.
78. Be courteous towards others -
Being courteous to others is a great way to share love, positivity, and a
great way to set a good example for others. Each time that you set an
example, you have some influence onto others. Each time that you
practice a healthy habit or put courteous actions on display for others
to see, they will be much more inclined to follow suit. When you are
able to be courteous to everyone that you meet, you are raising your
consciousness through compassion.
79. Attend a spiritual retreat
- There are many spiritual retreats and spiritual opportunities that
can quickly boost your state of consciousness. Meditation retreats and
gatherings with your religious group are two of many ways to raise your
consciousness. The act of going to church is yet another form of
attending a spiritual gathering. Going to an event like a Holosync
retreat may also be a great way to connect with a fun, positive group of
individuals that could prove to be lifelong friends. You will never
truly know nor understand the possibilities of conscious transformation
that a retreat has to offer until you actually make it a point to
attend.
80. Form a mastermind group - Forming a mastermind group
is a great way to help you become more conscious and complete your
goals. To participate in a mastermind group, you must first gather up
some trustworthy friends. Next, schedule times that your entire group
will meet to discuss personal challenges, goals, accomplishments, etc.
Meet with each other and discuss your goals. Be as positive and
encouraging towards one another as possible. Offer suggestions and serve
as a motivation for the rest of your group. Mastermind groups are a
form of conscious, positive support that allows you to accomplish your
goals much easier. And, social support (i.e. a positive group of
friends) is always great to have when working to become more conscious.
Do whatever you want with your group, have fun, be positive, and realize
that you are raising your consciousness in the process!
81. Be a
mediator - There are many situations that arise from negativity in this
world. One way to break up these situations in a peaceful manner is to
be a mediator. A mediator is a person that is able to resolve conflict
between two parties and think of a peaceful solution to a problem that
both conflicting parties agree upon. In the end, the best part about a
mediation process is the satisfaction that you can derive from helping
bring peace to the world. Helping others is a great way to create a true
sense of happiness in your life. Anytime that you bring peace, the
collective consciousness of humanity takes a step in a positive
direction.
82. Build an accurate model of reality - Building an
accurate model of reality is a great way to explore the endless
possibilities that life has to offer. Gaining conscious control of your
thoughts will aid you in the process of creating your reality. When you
are able to take control of your focus, building an accurate model of
reality becomes an easier task.
83. Be a leader – Being a
positive leader is an awesome way to raise your level of consciousness
and that of others. If you are able to become a leader who is able to
influence large groups of people in a positive manner, you will
naturally develop a lot of conscious power. Each person that supports
your message, adds to your ability to share your purpose. If you haven’t
thought about stepping up and becoming a leader in some way, now is the
best time to start thinking about it!
84. Travel the world -
Traveling the world most definitely has potential to change and expand
your state of awareness. As you travel to different places, you are able
to learn about unique: ways of life, ways of thinking, religions,
customs, values, etc. This is why it is extremely common for huge
changes in perception to occur. Traveling to many different parts of the
world is one way of exploration that allows you to experience life on a
larger scale.
85. Be empathetic - Advanced empathetic abilities
can be cultivated by accessing the lower brainwave states: both the
theta and delta brainwaves. Making a conscious effort to become a more
empathetic person means trying to understand and relate to others and
their emotions in as an effective method as possible. Being empathetic
is a great way to spread love and compassion in the world. And spreading
love and compassion are great ways to help you become a more conscious
person!
86. Set goals and accomplish them - Setting positive
goals and working to accomplish them is one of the single most effective
ways to advance consciously, without even having the intention to
advance consciously. For example: you may set the goal to exercise
everyday for one month in order to improve your health. By setting and
completing a goal like this, your main focus is improving your health,
however, you are also indirectly improving your consciousness.
87. Try brainwave entrainment - Though brainwave entrainment seems like a
new-agey, experimental technique, it is a great tool for advancing
consciously that actually works. Not only does brainwave entrainment
work well, it is an extremely effective way to develop a powerful brain
and advanced state of consciousness. By practicing brainwave
entrainment, your brain becomes more flexible in the process of shifting
to various brainwave states. You can always give brainwave entrainment a
trial and evaluate how effective it is at helping you advance
consciously! Check out the software featured in my recommended products
section and give one of those a trial run.
88. Try self-hypnosis
- What many people do not realize is that the act of self-hypnosis is
very helpful for achieving states of complete, controlled relaxation.
During self-hypnosis you develop full, complete control of the beliefs
that are implanted in your subconscious mind. Self-hypnosis relaxes your
body and takes you into a state of highly-focused, deep relaxation. No
matter whether you enjoy self-hypnosis or meditation more, they are both
exercises that will allow you to elevate your consciousness. Give
self-hypnosis a shot if you haven’t already – it is a perfectly safe,
exercise that will benefit your consciousness greatly!
89.
Develop your chakras - Learning to clear and cleanse your chakras could
prove to be one of the single best investments that you’ve ever made for
yourself. Chakras hold the key allowing you to tap into your
higher-self and connect with energy from the Universe. Working directly
with your chakras will help you become a more conscious person, making
you more aware of your body’s energy centers and how they can affect
your entire life.
90. Release your Kundalini energy - My
definition of Kundalini: a (usually latent) energy force that is coiled
at the base of our spine. We’ve all felt Kundalini from time to time
during extremely emotional moments, when a certain song plays, or when
we have a powerful experience. What does Kundalini feel like? Kundalini
the energy that makes our spine tingle. We get goosebumps throughout our
body and our entire spine tingles with emotional energy. Kundalini is a
completely healthy and powerful method to advance consciously. It is
not recommended to go into a Kundalini experience blindly, though. Do
some research on “Kundalini energy” and consider working with a guru or a
person who has been through the entire process if you hope to release
your Kundalini energy.
91. Appreciate your surroundings - To
further allow yourself to develop consciously, it is important to be
appreciative and thankful for everything in your environment. Each day
and every day, the little things that we may be taking for granted are
often some of the most amazing forms of beauty. Simple things like the
sunset, a field of flowers, or the face of our neighbors are all
beautiful expressions that we may not be taking the time to appreciate.
When we are able to realize that everything is connected and that we
were truly meant to love and appreciate one-another, we naturally become
inherently grateful for our surroundings and what the Earth has to
offer – and thus, more conscious.
92. Bring new life to Earth -
Each time that you are able to make a contribution to life here on
Earth, you bring forth another brilliant expression of our universe.
Each time that you bring human life, plant life, animal life, etc. here
on Earth, it is something to be truly proud of. Ways that you could
contribute to bringing life to this planet include: raising children,
adopting a child, planting a flower, or raising an animal. The inner
feelings that you may feel as a result of bringing forth new life are
perfect for finding true happiness and taking yourself to the next
conscious level.
93. Lead a flexible life - Flexibility is a key
part of gymnastics… it also is a key part of life and the process of
becoming more conscious as a human being. Leading an overly-structured
life often becomes overwhelming and unpleasurable. You need to take time
to appreciate the moments of spontaneity and spur-of-the-moment type
events. Being flexible is a great attribute to cultivate in your life.
Though learning to be flexible is just a small habit that will make you
more conscious (by opening up your life to new opportunities), it is a
highly important principle to implement into your life and reality.
94. Learn from “consciously advanced” individuals - More consciously
advanced people have a lot to offer those who are less consciously
advanced. They often provide us with great discoveries, insights, and
guide our lives in a positive direction. If you happen to know someone
that is at a higher cognitive level of functioning than yourself, spend
some time with that individual. Ask them questions about their life,
questions about your life, or any questions about life in general. See
how these individuals feel about raising consciousness and how they can
help you work to increase your conscious awareness.
