Raising Clear Consciousness

What does it mean to raise your consciousness?

There are many ways to raise your consciousness. It generally starts with paying attention to what you are thinking and feeling. You can also read and listen to inspiring material, practice meditation or mindfulness, and get involved in volunteer work. 

There are also many ways to connect with nature. You can walk, spend time in nature gardens or parks, or take a nature hike. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can explore a natural wonder such as a waterfall. It means becoming more aware of your surroundings and yourself. It can also mean connecting with a higher power or to expand your awareness beyond the physical world. 

The most important thing is to start somewhere and to keep practicing. The more you raise your consciousness, the more you will be able to do to create the life you want. There are many benefits to raising your consciousness. 

Some people report feeling happier and more connected to themselves and the world around them. Others say that they have a greater understanding of themselves and the world around them. There are also practical benefits, such as being able to make better decisions and being less likely to be caught up in negative thoughts and emotions.

 Whatever you do to raise your consciousness, be gentle with yourself. There is no one right way to do it. You can experiment and find what works best for you. Remember: focus on love, not on achieving goals. If you focus on the positive aspects of your journey, you will be on the right track.

Is our love reflected in every aspect and every waking moment?

For most of us, I would have to say no. We are human, after all, and our material lives make this difficult with all the distractions that cross our paths, knocking us off center. Although many of us will pay to hear a talk on spiritual living, most struggle to apply the basic principles in our day-to-day lives.

Are we just talking about love, or are we actually working toward demonstrating love and spirituality? If we are living from the perspective of love and not from the perspective of ego, we will be more likely to be kind, compassionate, and forgiving. We will also be more likely to take the time to listen and understand. The best way to apply this is to get our heads out of the clouds and start step by step bringing clear conscious light down to earth into a daily practice.

While working on our spiritual maturity, we are also developing clear consciousness.

When I speak of clear consciousness, I’m talking about how we learn to live with clarity and a centered sense of grace. There are many spiritual teachers from the past and in the present that are teaching us to live more simplistically by being in the present. This is a wonderful way to start. As we follow these teachings, bringing them into our practice, we are returning to truth, harmony, and spiritual integrity of knowing who we are. What a wonderful place to begin, knowing who we are, knowing our True Being.

If we look deeply at who we are, then we need to make sure not to overlook the secrets and bad habits that make up our shadow side. Our shadow parts are those parts of us that we are ashamed or embarrassed by. We should acknowledge our shadows so we can transcend them and become better people. 

As we move forward practicing our new disciplines of being present more than likely, we will achieve a pivotal moment, a divine realization. It is in these pivotal moments that our world opens up with new possibilities. This could be the spiritual key that unlocks our lives so we may live a centered life with spirituality in our hearts.

Developing coherence between our hearts and our heads.

Some of the highest forms of consciousness are thought to be lucid dreaming; out-of-body experiences; near-death experiences; mystical and spiritual experiences. Newer research shows that focusing on bringing coherence between our hearts and minds develops higher consciousness.

Bringing those two spiritual receivers into unity infuses every cell in our body with knowing the perfection of our presence and the absolute rightness of this moment. Now that is a strong foundation of presence to build upon. Once we achieve moments of this, we can allow ourselves to be cast into infinite new levels of knowing.

For example, think of an invisible point in space where our conscious minds and hearts, in union, can burst like a flash of light. In a millisecond, we experience the expansion of this physical world and beyond, a new birth or shifting consciousness. Once we experience a knowing such as this, we begin living in that expansion.

When living with clear consciousness, we start truly living our sacred saga.

When we are dedicated to following our divine talents and guidance, remember that clear consciousness requires balance and positive movement forward. It all starts within each of us, constantly requiring reevaluation of one’s awareness and attunement. Within us is our connection to the universe.
