I used to consider the words “higher consciousness” and “awakening” and “enlightenment” as some of those strange airy-fairy words that would never make their way into my vocabulary. I was far too intellectual to be one of “those” fringe types of people. I have since not only come to understand what those words mean, I have experienced them within myself. And because of the mentoring work that I do, I am also seeing an awakening of higher consciousness in others.
What I am referring to is a shift toward the potential held within each human being, and the importance of growth and self-actualization. Awakening is a process through which we discover that we are so much more than we think we are. We each came into this life with a plan and a purpose, one that we often placed on the backburner or forgotten about altogether. Yet this amazing authentic self lies silently inside, waiting for us to awaken and remember why we came here to Earth during this particular time of evolution and change.
As we heal the confusion and step away from chaos, we begin to wake up. As we place emphasis on making choices that align with our true nature, our spirit comes alive. We begin to remember who we really are. We begin remember what we came here to do.
Many are willing to make the effort to be introspective and risk discovering if we have the ability to effect change in our own emotions, our own life, and in the world. In the process of introspection we gain increased discernment about recognizing when we rationalize, blame, lie, play victim, or act defensively. We realize where we give away to others the love we most want for ourselves.
This process of self-awareness leads to forgiveness. We pave the way to an increase in self-worth and self-love, and a growing ability to recognize that we have the freedom to choose how we experience life. We are waking up, wanting to know who we are, and why we are here.
If you are waking up yourself, then you know it can sometimes be a bumpy ride as we move beyond the rational concrete mind to the not so familiar landscape of intuitive knowing. Remember to breathe consciously, often. Breathing allows you to listen to your inner wisdom. Conscious breathing allows you to slow down and take the time to move beyond reactionary responses, reflect, and gain new perspective.
Awakening to a higher consciousness is how we connect with our higher purpose and aid humanity at this time of world evolution. It is time for us to step into spiritual awareness and forge a new relationship with life and creation. When we answer the call to our individual awakening consciousness, we play our part in the miracle of life being reborn.

The road to higher conscious awareness is often bumpy and painful. Having allowed myself to heal many old wounds and fears has shown me that the pain felt in the moment is tiny when compared to the peace that moves with me from that moment on. It can be hard not to get lost in the emotions but I remind myself to breath and know that no emotion lasts forever and I will get through this. As always, your words are inspiring.
