As the word ‘Awareness’ entered my teaching this week, I was once again reminded of the power of being aware of what my body is saying. The power of ‘Awareness’, the principle we teach that has the catch phrase, ‘Paying attention to body sensations.’

When I woke up and looked at my computer, Deepak Chopra spoke to me this morning about Awareness. Powerful sage of our times, his words resonated:

“If you want to change your body, a change in awareness must come first. Awareness is where meaning happens. What you are unaware of won’t change.

If distorted energy is the root of all problems, it can be brought back to its normal, healthy state by accessing our inner intelligence–pure consciousness.


As your awareness changes, your energy changes, and then your body changes. The chain of events moves from the invisible realm to the visible on this path: AWARENESS – ENERGY – BODY

Awareness that is limited by fear, doubt, anger, lack, addiction, insecurity, and judgment is conditioned. Conditioned awareness does not heal the body, it merely repeats the patterns from the past. In everyone there’s a level of awareness that isn’t conditioned or lacking. This is your real self, full awareness which automatically masters.

When You Are Fully Aware:

  • You can center yourself at will
  • You are familiar with a place of peace and silence inside
  • You aren’t divided against yourself by inner conflicts
  • You can transcend local disturbances and remain unaffected by them
  • You see the world from an expanded perspective
  • Your inner world is organized


    • Old conditioning keeps us from being free, because time and again we fall into old patterns that run too deep, while our new behavior, the one we wish we could have, has no groove to follow at all. This state of being trapped in old conditioning creates its own kind of awareness.


  • When Your Awareness Is Conditioned:
  • You can’t find your center, so impulses pull you this way and that
  • You aren’t familiar with a place of peace and silence, so there’s constant restlessness
  • Conflicting impulses fight against each other
  • Local disturbances disturb and distract you
  • You see the world from a contracted perspective
  • Your inner world is totally disorganized

  • There are three ways to break down old conditioning: reflection, contemplation, and meditation. Their power increases in that order. We all tend to use these words interchangeably, but they have separate implications.


  • Reflection — taking a second look at old habits, beliefs, and assumptions.
  • Contemplation — focusing on a thought until it expands as far as it can.
  • Meditation — finding the level of the mind that isn’t conditioned.


    • Consider the best use of these methods for yourself to maximize your access to full and unconditioned awareness.
    The chain of events that ends in the body begins in consciousness. By moving stuck energy, the free flow of consciousness is restored, and that is enough to bring the body back into a healthy state.” ~ Deepak Chopra

    Well…hmmm… today will be a contemplative, meditative day of reflection.
