Awakening Consciousness.
Wikipedia defines consciousness as awareness, space – a nothingness, recognition, perception and realisation, being aware and conscious in the present moment.
Consciousness is not separate from our human body it is our body. Consciousness knows no birth or death, it is always there on a continuous basis. We can think of Consciousness as an entity-as God, Nature, Universe, Spirit, Soul or Energy.
How do we awaken consciousness? -by being present and aware of our thoughts, emotions and feelings. When we are present it is impossible to live in the past or to live in the future, we can only live in the now, in the present.
What we become aware of is that everything is conceived, structured and perceived in our consciousness. What we put our attention on grows and we must be mindful of what we attract into our lives.
