Our Expanding Consciousness

“There’s a plane of awareness that you can opt to live at, wherein you can, if you are willing to change your concept of yourself as an ordinary being, find yourself fulfilling any and all wishes that you have for yourself. It begins with changing your concept of yourself.” These are the words of Dr. Wayne Dyer in his article, Extraordinary You!

We are so much more than we realize. As we go about our day to day existence, we deal with chaotic life, strive to pay the bills, generally just work hard to improve our existence. But what if there was a higher part of us that exists in higher realms, a part of us that sees all from such a high vantage point, that all those daily problems that preoccupy our minds, look trivial.

Dr. Wayne continues, “The ideal of your soul, the thing that it yearns for, is not more knowledge. It is not interested in comparison, nor winning, nor light, nor ownership, nor even happiness. The ideal of your soul is space, expansion, and immensity, and the one thing it needs more than anything else is to be free to expand, to reach out and to embrace the infinite. Why? Because your soul is infinity itself. It has no restrictions or limitations—it resists being fenced in—and when you attempt to contain it with rules and obligations, it is miserable.”

If we could find a way to consciously expand our awareness, such as in daily meditation, and still continue to pay the bills and take out the trash, until there comes a point where we are living our physical life from a higher vibrational, greater perspective. In order to do that, we must let go of the fears and pain that are weighing us down. We must find a way to be okay with them, even if we cannot resolve them to our comfort at this time. Then we can embrace our expansion and entirely new possibilities.

Dr. Wayne explains, “A higher concept of yourself involves taking on new truths and shedding your old views of what you can achieve. This is the only way you can achieve your desires. You must begin by replacing your old set of truths with a belief in the existence of a higher self within you. This is akin to doing a somersault and landing in a new reality—a reality in which all things are possible.”

I created the beautiful mandala above with the intention for our expanded healing and awareness. My hope is that it brings magical changes to the lives of all who see it and bring the beauty into their hearts.
