By becoming more conscious, we become less a victim of, our unconscious.
That's obvious.
How do we become more conscious?
We become more conscious, by becoming more conscious.
It's a full time job!
Whenever you breathe with your awareness engaged, you are conscious.
Whenever you are aware of what you are thinking about, you are conscious.
Couldn't be any simpler could it?
What we do when we do Yoga Asana, is to wake up the nervous system and feel our body. As we know this can be challenging. It becomes an interesting experience, i.e, the desire to let go more, and the resistance to letting go more, through the pain we may be feeling.
And there it is! This is the interface between your conscious and unconscious processes.
The ego, thinking apparatus, or mind - whatever you want to call it, will keep you going around in circles until one day, if you're lucky you'll wake up to the profound realisation that 'you' are not your, mind, ego, thinking apparatus.
There are many ways to wake up!
But you don't have to.
It may be just as easy to stay in the drama's you create to keep you
pre- occupied. By keeping pre-occupied you may never have to face the fact that your life is slipping by and you are not going anywhere with it.
But even this is an opportunity to do something.
Pranyama - Meditation - Asana - these will help.
