What Does Conscious Mean? Regarding Life? Relationships? Joy?

Horses are excellent at teaching humans about consciousness 

This past week it seemed everything I read had the word conscious in it and I asked my self the question what does this all mean? I have been teaching and studying the Conscious / unconscious mind for the past decade. I am completely intrigued with how our mind can empower or sabotage an idea , thought , relationship all with in one second. 

When you are conscious you are 100% present and engaged in your thought , activity , conversation.  All your energy is focused , you have a knowing and an awareness. Your completely in tuned to what your feeling , seeing and hearing. 

What does this have to do with life ? EVERYTHING! If your desiring to have a more meaningful relationship, or joy in your life learning to be conscious , aware of what you want to be experiencing. The key phrase here is wanting to BE experiencing. You know what you have experienced , when you spent time flash backing , talking about the past, your keeping your self in the past. A thought  is  energy , a  pattern  your sending out into the world to bring you more of that thought.  

Conscious living requires learning to be aware of the  thought you are thinking, being able to stop your thought instantly and create a new one.  Remember when you learned a new activity perhaps riding a bike , horse or driving a car, all your attention went to what you were learning. 

Your desiring more joy in your live ask yourself
1) What makes me happy ? 
2) How do I feel Joy?
3) What does happy look like? 

Now the fun part begins, place  all your attention , focus , yes your consciously living on allowing joy into your life . As you allow opportunities of happiness to easily gravitate toward you, Please be sure to acknowledge and appreciate the moment and be fully engaged . Here's an example of being present ,  your walking down the side walk and you notice a couple holding hands and laughing on steps as you pass them. 

Your conscious living when 
1) You smile because you look forward to experiencing a relationship that is caring.
2) Your thankful for observing and acknowledging a experience you'd like to have .
3) You noticed the flowers in the pot and were curious about what the orange flowers were.
4) You begin to be aware of all the beauty that surrounds you . 
5) Your aware of experiences that feel terrible , experiences that feel better, experiences that feel magnificent.

 6) Your Being in the moment , your attention is on this instant in time .

Conscious living does require time to master but the rewards are so worth it. Just for today please be aware of every word you say and how it makes you feel. Over time majority of your words will be honoring of the new experiences you'll be creating and living . Enjoy you!
