What Constitutes Spiritual Consciousness?
Spiritual consciousness is not mere awareness but an overarching awakening to the substance of existence. It is an appreciation that you are, in fact, much more than your body or mind, you're an interconnected part of the universe.
An awakening can appear as a kind of flash of knowing to some; for others, it is the culmination of countless hours of practice and self-inquiry. Irrespective of the various paths toward spiritual consciousness, the common aspect is a journey of expansion, clarity of vision, and healing.
So how do we access this?

Pathway to Spiritual Consciousness
An elevated state of consciousness is something that does not materialize instantaneously. It takes significant inner effort and dedication to reach higher states of consciousness. The deeper your state of enlightenment, the greater the distance you will have between the world that you see around you, and those things that exist beyond your physical senses.
1. Be Aware of Your Presence in the Moment
To be conscious of the present is to be present at this very moment. In most cases, we have a great deal of noise in our heads, especially thoughts about what happened yesterday or last week or about what we expect will happen tomorrow or in the next month. As a result, we are unable to experience life as it is.
Use your breath as a point of reference to bring yourself back to the present moment.
When you have uncontrolled thoughts, do your best to just simply be an observer of your own thoughts.
As you complete your daily activities (eating, walking or washing dishes), be mindful of your actions, and not your thoughts.
2. Gain More Awareness Through the Practice of Meditation
Meditation is a very effective means of elevating one's level of consciousness. It lowers the amount of noise present in the mind and enables individuals to reach an inner state of stillness and peace where they can attain a greater awareness.
Begin by committing to meditate for a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes each day.
There are many different guided meditations available online that will help with self-awareness/spiritual awakening.
Using a mantra like "I am Light; I am Love", will greatly increase concentration while meditating.
3. Learn to See Beyond the Physical World.
The primary focus of spiritual consciousness is that there is more going on in the world than we can see – beneath the physical world lies a deeper and greater truth than what meets the eye.
Ask yourself who you are beyond your body.
Try to read spiritual literature, for example: Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, or the Bhagavad Gita.
4. Increase Your Vibration with Gratitude.
Keep a gratitude journal; write three things you are grateful for each day. The more grateful you are, the more enlightened you feel.
Be thankful for the difficult things that you encounter because they are usually opportunities for you to grow as a person.
Thank the universe for another day of living each morning.
5. Detach Yourself from the Ego.
Ego is also one of the biggest barriers for achieving spiritual consciousness. It keeps us stuck in fear, judgment, and separation from other people. True awareness only occurs when we free ourselves from the attachments to our identities, status, and control.
Stop competing with others - search within yourself for fulfillment.
6. Expand Your Universe of Connection
This type of spiritual awareness marks only the beginning of a person’s journey in developing a higher form of consciousness. The awareness that you are part of a greater whole (the universe) and that the universe is inside of you.
Be in the presence of nature, and allow her to purify you with her wisdom and her grace.
Study the sacred texts from other cultures and religious traditions, to see beyond the boundaries of your beliefs.
Help others without thinking for yourself, so that you may lose the limitations of your ego.
The Troubles with Spirituality
It is difficult to achieve a higher level of consciousness as doing so produces intense emotions and a feeling of concern for all that is around you. It leaves you feeling like you are unable to completely detach from the familiar patterns and forms of your life.
General Problems Faced by All Spiritual Seekers:
Spiritual seekers deal with many obstacles as they journey through the process of attaining their higher state of consciousness. The primary obstacle is loneliness. As you develop your spiritual self, you will feel more isolated from the people around you who do not share your spiritual path. You will find yourself feeling as though you are alone in your journey and are living in another world entirely.
Confusion- It is disorienting and dizzying to throw down the old beliefs you've held for so long.
Resistance- the ego does not want to give up familiar forms.
What to Do About the Discomfort:
Trust in the process of development. Feeling uncomfortable is often the first stage of clarity.
Find a spiritual community. Joining hands with fellow seekers allows for a like-minded community.
Be gentle to yourself; enlightenment becomes a journey and not a destination.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How quickly can I experience Spiritual Awareness?
There is no schedule for this. Some people experience this realization rapidly, while for others this develops gradually through years of consistent practice and reflection.
2. Is it necessary for me to adhere to a particular religious tradition in order to be spiritually aware?
No, being spiritually aware is not affiliated with any religion, but rather is based on your ability to be aware of yourself and your connection to others as well as developing inwardly regardless of what belief systems you hold.
3. Is meditating sufficient to facilitate a spiritual awakening?
Although meditation is an extremely effective way to awaken oneself spiritually, actually achieving meaningful growth requires you to exercise that awareness through your daily actions, thoughts, and how you relate to others.
4. Why do I experience feelings of disconnection or loneliness on my journey?
As your level of awareness increases, so do the ways in which you interpret your surroundings. This can result in a disconnection from those who have been a part of your life before, however it can also create room for deeper and more meaningful relationships.
5. What are signs I am progressing spiritually?
Increased feelings of calmness or tranquility, being less reactive, developing a greater sense of empathy towards others, and having a clearer feeling of purpose or connection to something greater than yourself are all good indicators that you are progressing spiritually.
