Top 10 Ways to Raise Your Consciousness

[Guest guest]

Life can be a GIFT or a NIGHTMARE, depending on where you choose to

operate from consciously. Practiced regularly, the following 10 tips

will assist you in shining your beautiful unique light so brightly

that your resulting raised consciousness will be a GIFT to yourself,

humanity, and the Cosmos.

 

1. Forgive yourself and others.

 

Life is too short to hold on to regrets, grudges, miscommunications,

or disappointments. Free yourself by forgiving and letting go of any

negative energy you're holding on to about yourself and/or others.

There are many ways to do this. One way is to write down anything

you're ready to let go of and ceremonially tear it into small pieces

and throw it away as you forgive. You may even choose to verbally

forgive anyone you've been resenting. Either way, the process of

forgiving yourself and others will result in your feeling light and

free, and consequently raise your vibration.

 

2. Practice gratitude and appreciation.

 

Whatever you focus on grows. So, when you focus on every thing in

your life you have to feel grateful for and all the wonderful people

you appreciate, the universe hands you more to feel grateful about.

It's a wonderfully reciprocal consciousness raising process.

 

3. Live each day as though it were your last.

 

If today was your last known day in this lifetime, with what type of

people would you surround yourself? What would you say to the people

you care about? What personal gifts would you make sure you imparted

to humanity and the earth? Live each day as if it was your last, and

you will be living in a state of light, love and unconditional

contribution.

 

4. Meditate/Pray.

 

You open up a direct link between yourself and the spiritual realm

when you meditate and/or pray. Meditation and prayer can be used to

bring you closer to your creator energy, raise your vibration, bring

you peace, clarity, joy, and connection, as well assist you in

experiencing a perfectly balanced state between your mental,

physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

 

5. Suspend judgment.

 

This world is laden with judgment, irresponsibility, and finger

pointing. One judges another to feel less guilty about one's own

misgivings. Judgment energy is dense, dark, and heavy. On the other

hand, unconditional acceptance is light, free, and accepting. Let go

of judging and criticizing yourself and others. Everyone is on a

different path, and some appear to be further ahead on their path

than others. Neither path is better nor worse than another. Raise

your consciousness to one of acceptance.

 

6. View every experience as a GIFT.

 

If you look back at occurrences in your life, you can easily see how

even the worst situations you experienced in your life ended up

teaching you invaluable lessons and therefore ended up putting you in

the perfect place for your continuing development. When you view

every experience, the good, the bad, and the ugly as a GIFT, life

flows more like a gentle, inspiring breeze.

 

7. Stay consciously aware of all of your thoughts and feelings.

 

Until you raise the consciousness of the entire human race, it is

extremely easy to fall back in to all pervasive negative patterns of

complaining and feeling like a victim of society and a victim of your

life. To stay out of these patterns, check in with yourself your

present thoughts and feelings several times a day. When you catch

yourself in the Negative zone, don't feel badly about it and beat

yourself up. Simply choose to switch your consciousness to one of

gratitude and positive thinking. Remain conscious.

 

8. Treat your physical body as your temple.

 

Your body is the only vehicle you've been given for this ride

called " LIFE. " The better you care for your body by eating a healthy,

balanced diet, and by implementing a regular exercise routine, and by

giving your body the rest it requires, the more you will experience

increased energy, vitality, joy, and freedom. Honor, love, appreciate

and take extra good care of your body, and you will be raising your

energy and your consciousness.

 

9. View the world through the eyes of a child.

 

Observe a baby or a young child. It won't take you long to notice

that young children are constantly totally enthralled by the process

of observing and experiencing the wonder and beauty in every single

thing, color, texture, and person they meet. They can't get enough!

Look at every tree, sunset, cloud, and human being as a child would

and you'll be in a constant state of wonder, joy, surprise,

acceptance, and enlightenment.

 

10. Give LOVE, LOVE, LOVE from your heart.

 

It's all about love. Do you remember the feeling of being in love for

the first time? Why was it so wonderful? That's because love is the

highest vibration. Allow yourself to receive love unconditionally

from others. Give love from your heart unconditionally to yourself

and others, and you will experience the highest state of

consciousness possible.
