Choosing Consciousness: A Guide to Mindful Living

Good morning Full Potential Beings! It's a new day here in Costa Rica and a glorious new day is upon us.

 

A topic that keeps coming up that I'd like to touch on today is the use of substance and how it can alter consciousness. While some vow of the life changing effects of using a planet medicine to shift their consciousness, others see it as a short-cut that doesn't allow one to fully arrive on their own two legs - on the strength of their discipline and focus.

 

Either way, it's been an interesting journey for me to explore both states: a state of pure conscious awareness through soberness and fasting as well as exploring various planet medicines and seeing their effects on both my consciousness and my body.

 

Understanding Biochemistry

 

Every substance we ingest has the potential to alter our body's biochemistry. These changes can shift our mental state, influence our mood, and even affect our long-term health.

 

This goes beyond just planet medicines. This includes the food and liquids we consume. If we are mindful and paying attention to the subtle changes that occur after we consume ANYTHING, we can start to really refine what we put into our body.

 

The Cost of Highs and Lows

 

The immediate allure of a 'high' or the numbing 'low' can be enticing, but it's important to remember that these altered states come at a cost. Both the immediate and delayed effects can be detrimental to our physical and mental health.
