Sensory and Self-Awareness Exercises

Self-awareness is a long and hard road to understanding the Creator's Plan and our role in this life’s choice. Before we can truly understand the world around us we must understand ourselves first. You may think you have obtained self-awareness, but in truth most really don’t understand what that truly is. Spiritual awareness and physical awareness is not the only self-awareness we need to embrace in order to achieve universal balance. With the pressures of the world weighing heavily on our shoulders it is important more now that ever before you invest in your spiritual growth. Partaking in self-awareness exercises will help increase your success and balance.

Introduction
Most believe that we are not in touch with the world around us, or out of arrogances believe we know the world too well, which is false in statement. To claim to know the world around us, which would be again false. We are reliant on others to tell us world events and turn to the written words of man and modern media for our answers to our questions. Most of the time, not questioning the validity of the sources of information flowing to us. We at times believe without question, we lack the quite spirit to understand the true meaning of life. In our insecurities we believe in the forces of the world around us, a world of distorted or half-truths to the answers to our questions. We give over control of the world around us to others, which tell us to follow as sheep and believe in their concept of the meaning of life and God’s plan for those who follow.

We forget that we are Children of the Creator of All, please understand what the word “Children” truly means. We all at one time or another have asked that divine question, “Who Am I” and “Why Am I Here”, which has passed through our mind at one time or another. In fact we neither truly know the world around us nor do we actually know our purpose in this world and our life’s work that falls in with God’s plan. We seek answers in books and in the teachings of the ages, but to truly understand our roll in the fabric of all creation and the path that we each are destined to follow, we must turn within and understand ourselves first. To quite our minds and listen to the rhythm of the living energy that moves through us. Our minds are cluttered with the noises of a world in turmoil and misunderstanding of who we are.

Before you can understand the world and cope with negative energies of the world around us, we must quite our minds and look within. We must answer our own questions about ourselves before we can understand the world around us. To say the least we cannot truly understand God’s plan for the world we live in and for us. All will become clear through silencing the background and random chatter of our minds and focusing on the life force that God gave to each of us. There is an energy within us that holds the wisdom of the ages, the creativity to see the future and build towards it. We are part of the creator, there for we must quite our minds and focus on that energy by becoming more aware of ourselves. To center ourselves in that light and focus on the very light of creation which resides in us, the very light and energy of God the creator of all. All the answers to our questions reside within and through the eternal words, thoughts and love of the living force, which binds us all together and makes up the very fabric or the universe, which we exist in.

These are but a few of the types of sensory and self-awareness exercises you can practice with to gain a greater consciousness of yourself and the world around yourself. When ever you can begin with Exercise 1. and follow through to Exercise 10. These exercises are not only to help you gain perception of the world around you they are targeted at exercising control in quieting the needless chatter of your mind and help you shed the stress of daily life.

There are other forms of meditation besides the exercises outlined in these teachings. To truly tap God’s power and energy is through creativity. Take time out of your daily life to spend in quiet time in clarity focused on the task to explore your creativity through music, art, writing, or any other creative outlet that movea you. It doesn’t matter if you have true artistic talent; the objective here is to allow the creative forces to move through you. To open your mind and let your soul soar without boundaries. Creativity is the purest form of human expression and a Divine gift from God, it is our link to the living force of the universe around us, it’s what distinguishes us from all other life on this planet. Remember God is love, self-awareness, understanding and creativity in its purest form. Since we are the children of God, those attributes also reside in us, you must take the time to quiet your mind, focus on who you are, and exercise the gifts God has given you, and then only then will His Divine Plan for you be revealed.

Please note: A Native American Shaman told me that a Tenth Level and beyond (of total success in these exercises) can find themselves drawn spiritually into a tunnel or cave and experience a feeling of traveling or flight, of being carried deep into the earth, there you will awaken in a great library of knowledge. Upon arrival in the Great Library of Knowledge you can ask a single question in which you seek an answer to. The first thing you see of interest whether it’s a book, a piece of paper, a bowl or any other object of interest will be a revealing moment of something you are to see and acknowledge. He stated that no matter what, you are not to take any object from the great library of knowledge only what you learn there, when you are ready to return you only need to ask your spirit guide to return you safely. Please let me know if any of you truly achieve this level, because those that do are considered enlightened spirits.
