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 state of consciousness
or drop to a lower state. Being open-minded doesn’t only need to be for
beliefs either. It can be having an open-mind to try something new such
as: a new exercise routine, spiritual practice, or trying a new food.
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
or others on 4 Mind 4 Life dot com.
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. (or not :) )
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.
95. Live a well-balanced life
- Keeping a balanced life can be very difficult at times. However,
keeping activities in proper balance is a great way to become more aware
and involved in many areas of life. Make a conscious effort to focus
your energy towards what inspires you most, but don’t forget to be
flexible and take time for important people and activities like:
friends, family, expression, and exercise. Being well-balanced with
activities in life provides us with greater conscious satisfaction.
96. Consider taking health supplements -
Supplements have long been known to help aid in mental processing and
boost physical functioning. I personally have taken a multivitamin in
combination with 3.6 grams of fish oil on a daily basis for almost 2
years straight. Overall, I feel that the combination has worked
phenomenal for helping my physical functioning and mental processing.
Always be open minded: consider taking supplements if you aren’t
already. Do a personal experiment to see what supplements work best for
you and how various supplements affect your consciousness. In the end,
you may decide that all supplements are ineffective and that they were
nothing more than placebos.
97. Celebrate your accomplishments
- Celebrating your accomplishments is a form of self-praise and
self-respect. When you value yourself and appreciate yourself, you are
likely to celebrate your accomplishments – and actually have
accomplishments to celebrate! Celebrating is a fun and rewarding
activity to do to make yourself happier. It increases your levels of
overall self-love and respect: both of which are key factors in the
process of raising your consciousness.
98. Always have positive intentions
- Positive intentions often arise from having a positive mindset.
Having a positive mindset and forming the habit of holding good
intentions is a great way to boost your level of conscious awareness.
When you intend for positive events to happen in your life and always
have positive expectations – your life will naturally attract positive
people and will result in happiness.
99. Read and recommend 4 Mind 4 Life to others
- Remind yourself of ways to become more conscious by re-reading this
series and other articles here at 4 Mind 4 Life. I always try to
provide you with the most valuable advice to help you boost your level
of consciousness. Though the main focus of this website is boosting
brain power, your level of consciousness goes hand-in-hand with how
powerful your brain is; the more powerful your brain, the easier time in
raising your consciousness you will have. I can only promote my message
to a certain extent. Each time that you help me by recommending my
website or this series to another person, you will be helping guide
others towards positive change. I send blessings to everyone who reads
this series, recommends this series, recommends this website, or applies
advice from this website to better themselves.
