It was over 10 years ago that I made a very stern command to the universe demanding that I “Expand Consciousness Now!”. All I wanted was expanding consciousness. And what followed was years and years of a powerful life transformation that led me to living in a monastary in Sri Lanka for four months learning the Path to Enlightenment and supernatural abilities as written by Gautama Buddha!

So, I speak from my personal experience that expanding consciousness can lead to personal transformation!

In our journey towards personal growth and self-discovery, the concept of expanding consciousness holds immense potential. By delving into higher states of awareness, we can embark on a transformative path that leads to spiritual growth, enhanced self-awareness, and overall personal development.

Hence, I’d like to explore the profound impact that expanding consciousness can have on our lives, – well, on mine at least – as well as some techniques and practices to assist on this journey of inner transformation of expanding consciousness.

What does “Expanding Consciousness” mean?

Expanding consciousness means broadening our awareness and understanding of ourselves, our world, and our place within it. It involves cultivating a deeper connection to the present moment, a greater appreciation for the complexities of life, and a willingness to challenge our preconceived notions.

When we expand our consciousness, we gain a newfound sense of perspective. We become more attuned to the nuances of our experiences, the interconnectedness of all things, and the profound mysteries that permeate our existence.

This expanded awareness can enhance our everyday living by fostering greater empathy, curiosity, and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. As we grow in consciousness, we unlock new possibilities for personal growth, meaningful relationships, and a heightened sense of purpose, ultimately enriching the quality of our lives.

Benefits of Expanding Consciousness:

a) Spiritual Growth: Expanding consciousness opens doors to spiritual growth by connecting us to a broader sense of purpose and meaning. It enables us to transcend limited perspectives and embrace a more holistic understanding of ourselves and our existence.

b) Self-Awareness: Through expanding consciousness, we gain access to hidden aspects of our being, unearthing buried emotions, beliefs, and patterns. This heightened self-awareness empowers us to make positive changes and overcome limitations that hold us back from reaching our full potential.

c) Personal Development: As we expand our consciousness, we become more open-minded, adaptable, and receptive to new ideas. This leads to personal development as we refine our skills, expand our knowledge base, and cultivate a growth mindset.

Techniques to Expand Consciousness and Spiritual Development:

Again, I’ll speak from my personal experience here that meditation is the #1 technique you’ll want to dive into as the potential that we can experience and learn in a meditative state is unlimited and infinite!  First of all, these techniques are mostly beneficial with the guidance of a teacher to keep you on track. I’m going to recommend my Mysteries of  Modern Mystic program – which you can find here. 

But please also binge watch my entire YouTube channel: Healing the Planet from Within because I have a tonne of personal and spiritual development techniques and practice there that will inspire you.

a) Mind Expansion: Try to look at the world from different perspective such as “trying on” some else’s belief systems about their religion or cultural norms. See how it feels in your body when you’re “thinking and feeling” from that system of beliefs that perhaps has formed over centuries!

b) Meditation: There are many types of meditation styles in the world today, but don’t let that confuse you. Make it simple – just sit quietly someplace and observe the sounds, sights, feelings, etc – what’s in the present moment. Do this for 15-20 minutes each day and you’ll notice a certain element of peace wash over you. This is the entrance to deeper states of meditation.

Summary, no matter how many techniques you put in place for expanding consciousness it’s necessary to let the universe know your intentions with a stern command stating what you desire. THAT in itself is the power to expanding consciousness that leads to a powerful personal transformation!
