In my search to raise my consciousness and vibration, I’ve read many articles and blogs on the net. These are 18 of the most common ways I’ve read about and have started incorporating into my life. Enjoy!!!

1) Love

Place your hands on your heart and really love yourself

Name 10 things you love about yourself

Tell your friends and family you love them, both through your words and your actions

If you have a pet, hold them, pet them, stroke them, enjoy them

With your wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend, spend time in gentle embrace

2) Appreciation

Thank yourself for being exactly who you are

Write out a page-long list of things you’re grateful for

Feel appreciation for life exactly as it is now

Thank the Universe for supporting you in all that you do

Feel grateful for having the opportunity to create what you want

Feel appreciation towards everything you desire

3) Do something you enjoy

Find something you really enjoy doing and do it, even if it’s something small

Treat yourself to something special

Do something you’ve always wanted to do

Find an activity that feels very ‘you’ and do it

Perform a random act of kindness to a complete stranger

If you enjoy creating, enter a state of flow and allow creation to flow through you

4) Meditate

Spend time meditating in silence

Find the peaceful stillness within

Allow the world to be as it is while you dedicate this moment to meditation

Feel the inner peace that is always present at your core

5) Breathe deeply

Breathe deeply, fully into your belly

Breathe slowly

Notice the breath going in and out of your body

Breathing deeply will make it literally impossible to be anxious

6) Center yourself

Feel present in this moment

Feel the inside of your body

Meditation and deep breathing are also forms of centering yourself

Focus yourself into the Now without resisting the mind in any way

Notice what’s being registered by all 5 senses

7) Spend time in silence

Go for a walk in the woods, or barefoot out in nature

Gaze at a flower

Spend some quality time with yourself, just yourself

Pay attention to the silence from which all sound arises and falls back into

8) Watch something funny

Put on a funny movie and spend time laughing and enjoying yourself

Watch some funny videos online

Share jokes with your friends

9) Smile

Smile radiantly, genuinely, joyfully

Feel the smile overflowing and flooding your whole body

Feel all the cells in your body smiling

Put a smile inside your heart

10) Say YES to what is

Look around the room and allow everything to be just as it is

Look at your life and, just for now, allow things to be the way they are

Say “YES” to yourself while you observe various aspects of your life

Offer no resistance to anything in life

Accept yourself and others

11) Listen to good music

Put on some good music

Upbeat energetic music is excellent

Classical music is fantastic too

Avoid depressing, angry, or violent music

12) Exercise

Give your body a work-out

Run, lift weights, bike, swim, play sports, or do whichever activities you prefer

Get the blood flowing through the body

Feel the energy pulsating within the body

13) Dance

Go out to a dance club and have a great time, without worrying what other people think

Grab a partner and dance freely with him or her

Put on some music and dance wildly in private, with nobody watching

Be completely and totally liberated with your dancing

14) Sing

Put on your favorite song and sing along

If necessary, close the door and some headphones, but sing sing sing

Singing in the car is a perfect place to sing. Who cares if you look like a nut?

15) Choose to heal yourself or others

Allow your body’s natural intelligence to work its magic

Encourage the desired healing to take place

Help another on the road to recovery

Support the feelings of wellness and well-being

16) Pray

Focus your attention on what you desire to experience in life

Invite the Divine energy to join you and be a part of your life

Ask for guidance and wisdom in your life

Pray for safety and well-being for yourself and your loved ones

Bless the world

Get involved in group prayer for even more effectiveness

17) Read quality books

Immerse yourself in high consciousness writings

Fill your mind with thoughts and ideas that resonate with your soul

Learn new skills

Develop your understandings regarding spirituality

18) Intend to raise your vibration

Simply set the intention to become happier, more free, higher vibing, and more in alignment

Your intention is one of the most powerful tools you have

How To Raise Your Consciousness

“When u control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. He will find his ‘proper place’ & will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will protest until one is made for his use. His education demands it” ~ Dr. Carter G. Woodson

(NaturalNews) Many think of meditation as a silly New Age practice or “too hippie” for their taste. Some others think it is against their religion.

In the 1970s, Swami Muktananda arrived in Santa Monica, California from India to kick off his “meditation revolution” in the USA. A young reporter asked if her rabbi would allow meditation. Muktananda responded with this question, “Does your rabbi allow you to sleep?”

Meditation is not sleep. But it is very personally subjective and doesn’t conflict with any religious dogma or belief system. It requires daily practice for optimum benefits. It’s considered better to meditate for short periods daily than long periods occasionally.

Meditation requires you sit comfortably in a restful space, close your eyes, and allow mind chatter to settle on its own without forceful intervention. It also includes focusing on your breathing while calmly witnessing your thoughts and mental imagery without attachment or aversion.

Remain relaxed, aware, and alert. Start with short sessions daily and increase durations as you get more out of your practice. Eventually you’ll come to enjoy the tranquility and clarity of a quiet mind. This takes steady, patient practice.

Recently, medical researchers have been exploring the physiological and psychological benefits of daily meditation.

Research on meditation proves health benefits

(1) Heart health: Meditation leads to calmness and better stress management. One report from England claims it cuts heart disease in half. The study was done on people with a history of heart health problems. Another study in Southern California had similar conclusions.

(2) Blood Pressure: Blood pressure is lowered naturally by practicing meditation daily. This has been measured and recorded.

(3) Stress reduction and improved energy levels: General health, immunity, and energy levels are boosted by meditation in that it reduces sympathetic nervous system activity, resulting in reduced stress hormones released. Chronic fatigue or adrenal fatigue and a compromised immune system are the direct results of too many unnecessary adrenaline and cortisol secretions.

(4) Increased intelligence: A University of California, Los Angeles study showed MRI evidence of increased gyrification (brain matter folding) in the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain associated with overall cognitive intelligence.

(5) Self awareness and reflection: Similar studies in Massachusetts and Germany showed brain matter changes corresponded with feelings of improved self esteem and peacefulness within eight weeks of daily meditation.

A meditation opinion

Now medical science assures us it’s a good idea to meditate for practical health reasons. Consider how this benefits us as our food and water is being poisoned, beneficial foods and supplements are being banned, and toxic pharmaceuticals are shoved our way.

Let’s add the worsening economic and financial situations inflicted upon us by elite financial manipulators. All this awareness is conducive to stress unless one is oblivious. Even those who are oblivious have other daily functions that are stressful to them.

We simply live in stressful times. But with meditation, we all have an equal opportunity of release that helps us maintain good health despite all this.

Escaping into delusional fantasy is avoided. This release doesn’t require expensive vacationing, drug and alcohol use, or binge eating. Lots of TV makes you duller and more stupid. Lots of meditation makes you smarter and more able cope in this mad world through tolerance (http://www.naturalnews.com/035478_freedom_tyranny_philosophy.html).

All these benefits haven’t delved into the increased spiritual awareness that eventually leads to absorption into inner realms of existence and eventually even total spiritual salvation. Meditation masters consider this the ultimate goal of daily meditation.

Starting meditation with only your health in mind will get you going on that journey too. Guess that makes reason number six.
