Individualism, consumerism, and progressive success have constrained
us to lower consciousness, but we yearn to ascend and expand it.
When
our consciousness expands, even
momentarily, we see the world very differently - as a place where
people suffer because their inner child is lost and is running amok
with their emotions.
Hence, a world where people are always trying to be heard but fail
to communicate, because they're not in sync with their higher self
and, consequently, they begin lashing out against one another.
At times, we realize that we can be one of these people as well. And
so, we yearn for a place where we rise above all the
misunderstanding, to a place where we can see beyond their
vulnerability and their broken inner child, without
judgment.
And try to reach them, talk to them and understand them. If you have
been yearning to consciously expand your consciousness into its
higher states, then here is your first short guide to achieving
that.
BUT REMEMBER, the shift towards a higher consciousness is often
dramatic.
It forces us to re-order and
re-prioritize our psyche. It is laborious...
But it is what is needed to break free from the constrains of
lower consciousness.
How Do You
Expand Your Consciousness?
Do the following five things to expand your consciousness:
Don't be
Afraid of Feeling
We have become afraid of our own feelings.
We fight them, because we have never been educated to understand
them and learn valuable lessons from doing so. As a result, they
keep coming back to us, draining us of our energy, which is wasted
in fight and flight decisions.
It is true that no feeling will last, however, when left unchecked,
they always return as long as you reflect on them and learn from
them.
Be mindful of your feelings. When you experience them, allow them in
and contemplate, so you understand what they are communicating you.
By allowing your feelings to be fully expressed within you, you
nurture your inner child, empowering it to communicate what it
naturally feels wrong - whether it's about an action you have
committed (and you feel guilty about it) or you have seen others do
(and you feel anger, frustration, and a sense of "wrongness").
You cannot gain the answers unless you allow those feelings to
manifest themselves, raising questions about yourself, so you can
reflect upon.
Trust Your
Intuition
We often suppress our inner voice or intuition in
favor of our more logical and reasonable mind.
As a result, we suppress it instead of
accepting it.
So next time, if you hear a voice inside your head telling you to do
something when your logical mind is bent on going the other
way, give it some room. Pause it, contemplate it and do what it
says. Start by pondering over it, then allowing it more weight in
assessing your priorities and direction.
Over time, you will see your
intuition build and grow into a deep and
resounding knowing, instead of the little nagging voice you have
been suppressing.
Keep Your Ego
in Check
Ego is a malady that affects our
inner child and blocks our journey towards our higher consciousness.
It is a result of our failings as a parent for our inner child. But
it can be cured through mindfulness of our actions.
So, whenever you are about to make a decision, simply ask yourself:
-
Who is making this decision?
-
You, your personal biases, or
your ego?
Re-Assign
Meaning
Happiness is not an object that you can achieve and then hoard.
It is simply a feeling that moves within
you. By externalizing it as an object you seek, you unmake it.
Start realizing the moments when you assign meaning to some external
object (tangible or not), and un-assign it. Tell yourself that
meaning emerges from you, and is a projection of your person on
other things, instead of the other way around.
Over time you will find that you will be left with less external
objects and more contentment deep within, allowing you to freely
move to the expanded consciousness and embrace others.
Love
"Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against It."
Rumi
Be unconditionally loving and kind to
yourself and those around you.
It is both the key to open the flood
gates of higher consciousness and its very content...
