Nine Ways to Help Others Awaken to Consciousness

 

By simply being yourself, you can help the people in your Life see a living example of consciousness.1.   Living by your values allows you to become a positive source of inspiration for others.  Don’t hide – express yourself and embrace life without reservation.  By simply being yourself, you can help the people in your life see how one person can make a difference by being a living example of consciousness.

 

2.   When you communicate your views, do so casually and in a nondogmatic manner.  Allow the people you speak with to ask questions. Offer only as much information as they are ready to hear.

3.   Igniting the spark of consciousness can be as easy as giving someone a gift.  A favorite book, a medicine bag, or a beautiful gemstone can pique your loved ones’ curiosity and prompt them to begin an exploration of the soul.

4.   Teaching a friend, relative, or colleague to meditate or chant can put them on the path to consciousness while simultaneously reducing their stress levels.

5.   Others may want to know more about living consciously but are unsure of how to begin.  Starting a discussion group – even a virtual one – can help you reach out to individuals that are eager to learn.

6.   By recognizing and acknowledging the inherent value in everyone you encounter, you can teach them how to value others.  Sometimes, the easiest way to encourage people – even challenging ones – to respect others is to respect them first.

7.   Invite people from your personal and professional lives to join you in attending a ceremony or ritual.  The experience may touch them in a profound way or introduce them to a new spiritual path.

8.   Casually point out the interconnectedness of all living beings using concrete, everyday examples.  Many people are unaware of how their actions affect the world and are intrigued when they learn of the power they hold.

9.   Introduce your loved ones to conscious living in a lighthearted and enjoyable way.  Serve delicious organic recipes at gatherings, volunteer as a group, and show them how wonderful it can feel to be truly aware and connected to the universe.
