Let’s begin with a hypothetical example.
Have you ever wondered why some people experience constant struggles in their lives while others appear to land on their feet, have an ‘angel on their shoulder’ or seemingly glide through life?
When you think of this question, do you feel upset, angry, jealous, or frustrated…especially if you are experiencing the former? If life feels ‘easy’ for you, have you delved into why that is?
Where do those emotions take you when you feel them? Are you driven to seek out those answers or resort to continuing with your life as it currently stands…without question?
If you seek to understand, grow, and adapt, then you are on your way to connecting with your state of higher consciousness.
What is Higher Consciousness?
Higher Consciousness is achieving a higher state of awareness and perspective, that in turn inspires a deeper understanding of self and reality as a whole. This encourages a more balanced (and sometimes a more compassionate) view of reality as we understand it, with a focus on the whole rather than the self.
This state of being applies to your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual existence, and the formula for all of the above is the same.
Let’s take a look at the Formula (3 A’s)
- Awakening
- Application
- Assurance
There are key steps to awakening a state of higher consciousness and expanding this process. As it is always evolving, it may help to visualise yourself walking up a spiral pathway towards higher consciousness. You will encounter similar circumstances as you move through life, yet you may approach or respond to them differently because you are building on what you have learned. This is higher consciousness in action.
Awakening
It begins with catalyst for change or review. If there is no change or review, then the status quo will continue. This often occurs when an old belief system, daily routine or personal trait no longer achieves the results you need, or desire. Belief systems, routines or personal traits may be challenged by yourself or others, instigating a need for deeper review with the option of change.
Application
When personal change or review is underway, the next step is to mindfully apply it into your life.
Many people say they want change or want more. However, courage or resources elude them. Application takes courage because there is an element of risk, failure, steeping into the unknown and opening new doors to a new way of being…and becoming!
This step of the formula is the most important, for without it, the pathway towards higher consciousness is halted.
When you mindfully apply any new thought, emotion, or action into your life, seed it with hope and opportunity. This will help alleviate fear and uncertainty, while inspiring a new and untapped potential within you.
Assurance
This step requires you to try out your new knowledge and integrate it into your life. If it aligns with you and becomes your truth (for now) then you have successfully enhanced a level of higher consciousness by acting consciously. This creates a level of assurance that enhances who you are becoming. If it doesn’t, then you are free to explore further options on how to improve areas in your life to achieve the results you desire. This is also higher consciousness in action.
After completing this process, you will continue up the spiral of higher consciousness with further-
- awakening
- application
- assurance
- repeat
As you build on these continuing areas of growth, your higher perception and understanding will support a deeper understanding of self and reality as you know it to be.
What realm of higher consciousness do you wish to explore?
- Your mind?
- Your emotions?
- Your body?
- Your spirituality?
- Your connections to others?
The options are limitless!
