If you want to EXPAND your CONSCIOUSNESS, here is how!

In my last post I spoke about the main differences between the states of consciousness from the Third and Fifth Dimension, so today I decided to talk more about what expansion of consciousness is, and share with you some ways that can help you to expand yours!

If you read my posts about quantum physics, about how you create your reality and about the spiritual levels of existence, I think you got a good idea that this reality we live in works as a simulation, a projection of our consciousness! And if you research about near-death experiences, you will see that many people describe the feeling of dying as if they were waking up from a dream, where everything gets lighter and clearer!

If you are dreaming, but you don’t know that you are, you think the dream is real, right? And some things that happen in the dream might scare you a lot! Using this analogy that life would be like a dream for your consciousness, when you don’t know that you are dreaming, you are also unaware that you are creating that dream, and that you have control over it!

Now, when you are sleeping and somehow you realize that you are dreaming, you feel relieved, don’t you? And your reaction would probably be something like, “oh it’s just a dream, it’s not real”! Spiritually awakening or expanding your consciousness is exactly the same thing! You realize that this reality is just a dream, and that you have control over it because it is a projection of your consciousness! Once you “wake up”, your perspective about life changes, and changes a lot!

If you’re making a conscious choice to expand your consciousness, the first thing you’re going to need is to want it and have a big desire in the core of your being! Curiosity alone is not enough, you need more fuel to embark on this kind of journey! A curious person takes advantage of the opportunities that life brings, a person who wants and needs, seeks these opportunities! That’s the big difference between them!

After that, you’ll need knowledge, practice and train your brain, and if you want a shortcut, at the end of this post I’ll talk a bit about psychedelics as well!

Metaphysical Knowledge

Your consciousness works more or less like your mind, if you don’t study and seek for new concepts, it doesn’t expand! It will take some time for you to develop the skills you need to access the knowledge that already exists within you. Another thing, on this kind of journey you will need A LOT of discernment, and only knowledge and practice can give you that!

Most of the spiritual materials available, unfortunately are still about the polarities between good and evil, and about the basic concepts of how reincarnation and karma work. They’re great to start with, but once you absorb them, I recommend you to go beyond that and seek for concepts that are above these dualities that exist only in the Third and Fourth Dimensions!

For that, Seth’s material, channeled by Jane Roberts, is great! It’s also known as one of the pioneers of modern metaphysics, but any other material you find that speaks your “language”, will do! You know the saying that when the student is ready, the master appears? It’s more or less like that! There is no point to have a PHD teacher if you’re still in kindergarten!

Don’t read famous spiritual books just for the sake of saying that you read them, you need to feel a very deep connection with the content! It’s important to find materials that are compatible with the level of knowledge you are ready to receive! In this sense, you will realize that a book or a video that had a huge impact on you, will not have the same effect on someone else! And vice-versa, someone might recommend something that doesn’t make any sense to you or doesn’t interest you at all!

And keep in mind that a lot of this of knowledge, you’re not learning, you’re remembering because what your soul has already learned in its evolutionary journey, is stored in your unconscious, and that’s why when you study certain things, you will know that they are true in the core of your being!

Meditation and Practice

After knowledge, you will need practice! As your consciousness exists beyond the physical world, the intention is to learn how to perceive and deal with energies, and this will depend on each one’s calling! Some people study Reiki or Theta Healing, others practice astral projection or work with crystals… but there is one thing they all practice in common: MEDITATION!

I will repeat this a thousand times in my posts, meditation is not about emptying your mind, meditation is about focusing on the present moment and learning to observe your internal processes, your thoughts, your energies, your body! It’s about disconnecting from this “dream” called reality and connecting with the part of your consciousness that is dreaming all of this! There’s no way you can expand your consciousness if you don’t meditate!

What I hear most people say is “ah, I can’t meditate for even 5 minutes”! If you’ve never meditated before, of course you will not be able to! It happens with anything you want to learn in life, the beginning is always difficult, but the more you practice, the easier it gets!

Another thing, your conscious mind doesn’t like what it doesn’t know, so it’s normal for it to create resistance in the first few attempts, be it mental or even physical discomfort like itching and coughing. It will do anything to avoid going into a trance state, but once it gets used to it, it will ask to repeat the experience!

To meditate is to take a break from your busy days to visit your “inner temple”, get inside yourself, listen to your human voices, talk to your soul, commune with God and feel the unconditional love that the universe has for you! Once you get used to this practice, you will miss visiting this temple because of the peace it will bring in your life!

Train your Brain

Jill Bolte Taylor is a neurologist that has an amazing TED Talk called “My Stroke of Insight” where she describes the shifts in consciousness she had while she was having a stroke of the size of a golf ball on the left side of her brain. She says that when the left hemisphere was active, she was aware of being an individual being and separate from the whole, but when the brain activity shifted to the right hemisphere, she lost this sense of individuality and felt connected to everything!

Besides the matter of which hemisphere that you are using, the altered states of consciousness are also connected to what frequencies your brain is operating! In my video about how to open your mind and connect to the universe, I explain it in more details, click here to read!

When your brain operates in Beta waves, which is the normal waking state, your consciousness is focused on this reality here, and it is harder to perceive anything that is beyond this physical world. When you train your brain to spend more time operating in Alpha and Theta waves, which are states of trance and relaxation, you become more aware of subtle energies. In other words, when the mind is awake, it’s more limited, when it’s relaxed, it’s more expanded!

If you find it hard to relax your mind, I recommend to use binaural beats, also known as brainsync. It’s a sound technology that helps to put your brain on the frequency you want, you just have to choose Alpha or Theta waves and wear your headphones! You can easily find them on the internet and Spotify, you just need to search for binaural beats Alpha orTheta waves.

As you can see, expanding your consciousness is also a physical matter of opening up neurological pathways in your brain, you just need to learn to work more with the right hemisphere, and stay longer in the right frequency! Besides meditation, any activity that stimulates creativity and a state of relaxation, will help you to develop this! When everything becomes more organic, extra sensorial perception will be part of your everyday life!

Psychedelics

If your mind is very, very stubborn and full of barriers, which makes it difficult for you to tame it, and if you are not afraid and willing to work with psychedelics, I recommend you give it a try! Psychedelics can greatly expand your consciousness, and it’s practically impossible for your conscious mind to stop it from happening!

In the holistic field, hallucinogenic plants are seen as medicine for the soul, and working with them is a very serious and sacred thing! Ayahuasca, magic mushrooms, San Pedro, Peyote, Iboga, each one of them has a different consciousness that will help you according to the specialties they have!

They all have an incredible ability to greatly expand your consciousness, but I’ll warn you, it’s not for everyone, and it can’t be done recklessly! Taking these things as entertainment is very different from taking them to have a spiritual experience! If you feel a calling to do such a session, do it properly, with the right intention, in a safe environment and with a person you trust to guide you through the process!

When used as medicine for the soul, these plants have the power to help you get to know yourself better, to heal your mental, emotional and energetic field, and to expand your consciousness, which will give you a better perspective about your life! One of these sessions might give you a profound and transformative mystical experience, that might impact you in a positive way to the rest of your life!

If you would like to try, but still feel a lot of resistance, seek more knowledge on this subject because we tend to fear what we don’t know! There’s a lot of serious research about the use of psychedelics as a therapeutic tool, and the results are incredible! In case you want to know more, there is a series on Netflix called “How to Change Your Mind” that talks about it!

To expand your consciousness may not be an easy thing to do, but for sure it’s worth it! After you manage, it’s like having a GPS in your life that will always point the right direction! You will have much more wisdom, clarity and you will be less affected by the things that happen because, at the end of the day, you will know that this reality is just a dream, and your consciousness is the one dreaming it all!
