 What is Consciousness and why is it so beneficial to our lives?


The definition of consciousness is to be fully aware of the connection within yourself. Through learning to be fully conscious, our state of awareness is increased, allowing us to understand ourselves better and to be fully present with not only our surroundings but our thoughts and emotions also.

As we learn more about ourselves and our inner world we naturally start to evolve as we move through the 5 stages of consciousness which are known as primal, reactive, willful, intellectual and intuitive.

Through activating our inner consciousness we become more aware of the outer world around us so we can start to make the necessary changes to start being more mindful, whilst setting goals for our future lives.

So how can you start to become more conscious within your own life?

Be open to new experiences and do not be afraid to embrace them especially if they can help us to grow and learn more about ourselves. Spiritual practices which include Yoga and meditation can help us to connect more deeply within to help us better understand our needs and core values . Through becoming more mindful we are able to practice gratitude and appreciate the beauty of others in addition to the attributes within our own lives.

Through connecting internally we learn to recognise areas of our life that require change as we begin to focus on our beliefs, thoughts and actions towards ourselves and others. A healthy diet and lifestyle helps to internally cleanse to prioritise wellbeing ,whilst choosing to engage in activities that bring us internal peace helps us to detach from our ego, bringing clarity and a better understanding so we can start to awaken and become more mindful and conscious within , enabling us to focus on our intentions and goals for the future .

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
