Consciousness


Discover a whole new level of consciousness!

‘The beginning of freedom is the realisation that you are not the thinker. The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness, becomes activated. You then begin to realise that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realise that all the things that truly matter—beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace—arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken’. (Eckhart Tolle)

Insights

Moving Meditation

I first became aware of a different level of consciousness during a yoga session in which we did a continuous flow of surya namaskars (sun salutations).

I started to have an ‘out-of-body’ experience, in the sense that my consciousness seemed to expand slightly and I felt I was slightly outside my physical body. 

It felt strange but wonderful.

 After this experience, I stopped seeing yoga as merely physical exercise and started to read and explore more about what it really is.

My curiosity was piqued when I discovered that yoga was a path to spirituality and enlightenment (more on this in the Spirit section).

Perception of Reality

As your consciousness expands, you start to notice things you never noticed before. 

 The act of doing something simple, like chopping a vegetable, becomes a very different experience.

 You become more attuned to colour, smell and texture.

Your connection with your environment deepens and becomes richer. 

Whilst walking my kids to the school bus, I started to pay more attention to the beautiful colour of the sky and the luscious grass and started to hear the wonderful calling of the birds. 

For years, I never noticed such things.

In fact, on one occasion whilst visiting my parents in the UK, we visited a lovely place called Finchale Abbey.

 I vividly remember the moment when the depth of the colours in the scenery came alive. It just took my breath away. I had not experienced connecting with nature in that way since childhood.

See the World Differently

When you expand beyond the barriers of the mind, emotions, body and ego, your whole world starts to change around you.

When this started to take place for me, the place where I lived and the people around me remained the same, but it felt like a completely different experience, driven by a heightened sense of awareness.

Looking back, the subtlety of this transformation was truly a beautiful experience. 

To see yourself having this experience is a milestone in your journey.

Increased Self-Awareness

As your consciousness expands, not only do you become an observer and manage your thoughts,. emotions and ego better, you also begin to see yourself more objectively.

You become more aware of your strengths and weaknesses.

Slowly, your soul starts to speak (more in the Soul section).
