Dr. Sue Morter, a leading voice in the field of energy medicine, believes the key to unlocking our greatest potential lies in elevating our consciousness. This concept goes beyond simply “thinking happy thoughts.” It’s about awakening the dormant energy within us, the unseen force that shapes our experiences and our connection to the world around us.
Think of yourself as a glowing ball of light. Some parts of that light are vibrant and aware, pulsating with conscious energy. This is the part of you that actively engages with life, brimming with creativity, joy, and a sense of purpose. However, there are likely other areas within your light that are dim or sluggish, representing unconscious energy. This isn’t necessarily “bad” energy, but it’s stagnant and can hold you back from experiencing life to the fullest. It might manifest as a lack of motivation, a nagging sense of dissatisfaction, or even physical ailments.
Dr. Morter suggests that much of our energy remains unconscious, and these hidden pockets can significantly impact our lives. They might be remnants of past traumas, limiting beliefs picked up along the way, or simply patterns we haven’t yet recognized. The good news is that we can bring this unconscious energy to light, quite literally! By becoming more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and emotional state, we can start to understand how these hidden energies are influencing us. This process of self-discovery allows us to elevate our consciousness, bringing those dim areas of our inner light back to radiant life.
What does this look like in practice?The journey of elevating consciousness is unique to each individual, but Dr. Morter emphasizes the importance of techniques that promote relaxation and self-awareness. Simple practices like deep belly breathing can be incredibly powerful. When we breathe deeply from our bellies, we signal to our bodies that we are safe and can shift from a stressed state (fight-or-flight) to a more relaxed and open state. In this relaxed space, we become more receptive to the subtle energy shifts within us, allowing us to identify and release unconscious patterns.
The benefits of elevating your consciousness are profound. As we awaken more of our dormant energy, we experience a surge of positive effects. We feel lighter, more joyful, and brimming with creative potential. Our relationships become richer, our confidence soars, and a sense of inner peace takes root. It’s like stepping into a brighter version of yourself, one that is more connected, empowered, and vibrantly alive.
