Raising Your Consciousness Level

[Jordan]

I agree the external world is indirectly related to happiness but so is consciousness. Happiness has to do with how you interpret what is happening in your experience and how it relates to you. If you interpret it overall as good, you become happy.

When we are conscious enough, even the external world is not required to be blissful. Closing the eyes are enough!

Yes it was tough to make the list. Not putting down the power of Yoga, I had it at number 6 and obviously this is totally subjective. Yoga can easily be number 1 for someone else. It’s super powerful. I’ll actually be doing a 3 month training in Hatha Tantra yoga this Winter so def appreciate its power. I just find meditation, contemplation, etc goes deeper for me personally. But it’s essential to open the chakras and awaken kundalini with yoga and I’m excited to learn more about it. Cheers ! 

Welcome! 

I understand westerners don't dig too deep into yoga, it's not your fault though. Easteners know very little about things like quantum mechanics, lol. 

Let me tell what yoga could be. Although hatha yoga, kriya yoga, kundalini yoga etc. may be popular and effective, the actual and traditional yoga system is of three types. 

1. Karma yoga - The yoga of selfless service, doing work without expectations for the sake of the world or a god you love.

2. Bhakti yoga  - The yoga of devotion, where you pray with devotion till it melts your heart, listen to soulful songs, chant mantras and meditate with love towards a god you like. 

3. Gnana yoga - The yoga of contemplation, the one being done in this forum by most people, the one where you meditate with questions on reality, such as who am I, listen to lectures, try to decipher reality step by step rationally. 

Apart from this, there exists a complex yoga system called Raja yoga, where you combine discipline, morality, selflessness, physical yoga ( which is the most popular thing among westerners) l, breath work, ,meditation etc. to become a king or a pinnacle in yoga.

Try researching these stuffs and you might find a lot of materials useful for those who seek awakening by the traditional methods.
