What Is Guidance of Consciousness, and Why Is It so Effective?

“Guidance of Consciousness” or “Consciousness Guidance” is probably something you have never heard of before. This is not surprising, as we here at goodconsciouslife.com are probably the only ones in the world (and for sure in Denmark where we come from) who use this term to describe the way we work with people.

As the term suggests, we are guides in consciousness. This means we are not only experts in human consciousness, but we have also ‘walked the path ourselves’ through our own consciousness. We know the terrain of consciousness subjectively and objectively, and are therefore in a very good position to help you with your consciousness.

Hence the term: Consciousness Guide.

The way we practice guidance of consciousness may at first glance look like a mix of psychotherapy and coaching, but still it is something entirely different and much broader.

Guidance of consciousness is holistic, interdisciplinary, super personal, and very, very effective. (If you are interested, you can read about some of our customers’ experiences here).

In this article, we will describe what guidance of consciousness is and how we practice it.

Below you can see more specifically what we will cover in this article, so if there is something in particular you are interested in reading about, you can just jump directly to it by clicking on it.

How Does Guidance of Consciousness Fit into the ‘Field of Treatment’?
– Consciousness Guides Are Specialists in Being Generalists

Whether we are feeling bad and want to snap out of it, or we are feeling fairly good and want to feel even better, fortunately many of us have realized that it can be beneficial to reach out for help.

For most people, the first thing they try is a psychologist (at least this is how it is in Denmark). Many people typically think, I feel bad about my thoughts and feelings, so I should see someone who works with the mind.

Seeing a psychologist is now a ‘norm-accepted’ practice (no one points fingers at it) and for many, it is almost as normal to do from time to time as it is to brush your teeth daily. And fortunately, many find really good help from their psychologist.

Unfortunately, we also hear from many people that even though they have been in therapy with a psychologist for many years, they feel their fundamental problems still have not been solved.

They feel a little better. They can ‘survive’ as they have learned some coping strategies that help them get through the day fairly well. But basically, they still don’t feel really good.

This dissatisfaction leads many of these people to seek help in what could be called the alternative world of treatment.

It’s natural to think that since traditional talk therapy didn’t help well enough, perhaps a completely alternative approach can solve the problem. And fortunately, it sometimes can.

But here too, there is a challenge: many people in the alternative world of treatment are specialists. Their work is based on ONE specific technique and focuses on either the body – or the mind – or the spirit – or the emotions – or energies.

Massage therapists work with the body. Coaches (and psychologists) work with the mind. Healers work with energies. And so on.

This is fine in and of itself, but very often the challenges are based in more than one area. Both emotions and body, or both the mental and energetic field, and so forth.

Several practitioners have realized this as well, and therefore choose to become experts in several different alternative fields: for example, the reflexologist who is also clairvoyant, or the coach who is also a healer. There are also people who are experts in three or even more fields, and that’s absolutely fantastic.

So … among all these experts, where do Consciousness Guides fit in?

Consciousness Guides are experts in consciousness, wholeness, and balance.

This actually means that Consciousness Guides are specialists (experts) in being generalists (able to work with the body, energy, the mind, emotions, and the spiritual dimension).

Yes, at first hand it may sound like a lot to master all these very different areas, but when you work with consciousness as the overarching principle, you understand that all these parts of ourselves are interconnected and influence each other.

Therefore, you must also be able to start from each of them if that is precisely where a given challenge or problem can best and most easily be solved.

What Are the Distinctive Features of Guidance of Consciousness? Effectiveness!
– Guidance of Consciousness Bridges Higher Consciousness and Daily Life

Because the word “consciousness” is part of “guidance of consciousness”, one might be led to believe that a session with us is ‘airy,’ abstract, and far removed from the everyday problems you might be dealing with. This is not the case at all.

What is important to understand about our work is that we deal with both ends of the ‘consciousness continuum’: both the very ‘high’ consciousness aspects and the more ‘earthly,’ practical aspects that need to function in daily life. This is precisely why consciousness guidance is so effective.

– We typically start by working very deeply with your consciousness. We facilitate lifting and expanding it, with whatever is needed. We help clarify and create inner peace and balance.

– Then we become very concrete. We identify exactly how you can implement your insights and solutions into your daily life.

In this way, we work with both problem-solving and personal development and spiritual development at the same time.

This combination helps our customers create significant, positive changes and improvements very quickly.

The Mindset Behind Guidance of Consciousness
– Overall Purposes, Goals, Tools, and Approach.

The following section explains our theoretical and methodological standpoint. Here, we will explain the overall mindset behind our work and why it is so effective.

Where Do We Want You to Go as a Customer?
– The Purpose Is a Good Life Experience that Is Continuous and Ongoing

Knowing your purpose in life and consciously pursuing it is, in our opinion, vastly underrated. After many years of personal development, we have found what we believe to be our own purpose in life.

Pursuing this purpose in everything we do has improved our own lives in such a significant and powerful way that we have chosen to use this purpose as a concrete tool in our work. In fact, we are bold enough to say that this purpose applies to everyone – including you.

If you always choose to follow your purpose, everything will become much easier, more meaningful, and joyful.

To avoid keeping you in suspense any longer, it is our experience and belief that the most important purpose in life is:

– A continuously good life experience. This is the primary and most important thing – what we all most desire.

It’s not so much about where you are specifically or what you are doing, but more about your inner state, also known as your state of being.

If you choose something that leads to a continuously good life experience (a positive state of being such as joy, inner peace, meaning, love, and wholeness), our claim is that you will experience that you have a good life.

If your choices are always based on what will give you a continuous, positive state of being in the short or long term, life will become surprisingly simple and surprisingly good.

It may sound almost too simple to be true, but that’s often the case with truths. They are very simple.

A continuously good life experience must, of course, be manifested in practice. In this way it can be said that the secondary purpose in life is:

– A good life in practice. Again, this is important but secondary. A good life in practice is about how you live out the experience in a concrete way in your daily life with family, relationships, home, education, work, finances, leisure, etc.

It is secondary because choosing to want to have good life experience – a pleasant state of being – will always be your most important job. Yes, it is connected to a life in practice, BUT the choice of states of being simply comes before the concrete manifestations.

Yes, this turns things a bit on their head from what we are normally taught (we have learned that a given activity in the physical world should give us a state of being).

But by choosing what you want to experience inside first, you will become the one who determines the quality of your inner experience. You will be empowered to determine your life experience, and that is quite simply one of the most important things you can do for yourself if you want to create a good life.

A Handy Tool for Making Choices in Relation to a Good Life:
– Works vs. Doesn’t Work in Terms of Creating a Continuously Good Life Experience

When a choice we make fulfills these two purposes (a good life experience and a good life in practice), we can simply say that it works. This means that “Works vs. Doesn’t Work” in terms of creating a good life experience is the primary criterion we use to assess just about everything when we work with our customers.

If something (e.g., a belief, a choice, a behavior / habit, a relationship, a job, or anything else) does not provide a continuously good life experience and a good life in practice, then it doesn’t work, and it will be a good idea to change and improve it.

And now we come to what always works in practice, and which is therefore both the goal and the main guideline, namely wholeness. Wholeness is the core and basis of everything.

Wholeness Always Works and Is Both the Means and the Goal
– Imbalances and Discomfort Are Always Signs of Non-Wholeness

As Consciousness Guides we have a unique perspective on the whole of your consciousness and everything it contains. This means that we have a keen eye for the wholeness that is you, and we work to bring you to a state where you experience overall wholeness and balance within yourself.

We call this perspective the Wholeness Comprehension, and The Wholeness Comprehension is a very important foundation for our work.

If we were to describe The Wholeness Comprehension in short terms, it goes like this: Everything consists of whole units within whole units within whole units, which, when they are in inner and outer balance and are authentically doing what they are, create the highest good for all involved (= universal beneficial usefullness). A perfect example of this is a balanced and self-sustaining ecosystem.

When we work from our basis in The Wholeness Comprehension, we work intuitively from the wholeness we know in ourselves and in life. Knowing wholeness and understanding how wholeness ‘feels’ and is experienced allows us to effectively cut through various forms of ‘noise’ and go directly to the core of anything.

We can quickly sense when something is off, and it’s our job to help our customers remove what troubles and disturbs them (and creates non-wholeness) so they can return to wholeness.

To create wholeness and balance, we will work on the aspect in our customers that is currently not functioning optimally. Imbalances are always non-wholeness. Imbalances can be mental, emotional, energetic, physical, or spiritual, or a combination of these.

To illustrate how wholeness and non-wholeness work, we can think of a car. If the tire is flat, the clutch is worn out, or there’s no oil, the car won’t run optimally. It won’t perform at its best potential and will also be unpredictable. If these problems are allowed to continue, the car will eventually be unable to fulfill its purpose of being a car that can drive us from point A to point B.

This example shows us that a dysfunctional part of a unit (wholeness) will prevent the optimal overall function of the unit (wholeness).

Not surprisingly, the same is the case with us humans. If we walk around with disempowering beliefs, suppressed emotions, blocked energies, or a spiritual experience of separation, we do not function as well as we could.

The disempowering beliefs will affect our emotions, which will affect our energies, which in turn will affect our experience. Everything is connected, and even a small broken cog somewhere will end up affecting many other things as well. Everything is interconnected and influences each other.

When something gives us a bad life experience, it’s because, with our consciousness, we have created non-wholeness. Non-wholeness feels unpleasant (because it is not whole) and gives us a bad experience of ourselves and a negative perception of the world and life.

Because we, as Consciousness Guides, work with wholeness, and non-wholeness can be anything, we have to be super-generalists. Therefore, we use a practical ‘whatever-it-takes approach’ to get our customers to a state where they experience wholeness and balance.

For this reason, we have a wide range of physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual methods and techniques that we can use when we find it necessary.

However, it must be said that even though we have many effective techniques, our overall and primary tool is the raising awareness, making the unconscious, conscious.

Creating Conscious Awareness Is Our ‘Mother Tool’

The primary way we help our customers on their path to wholeness and a good life experience is by helping them become more self-aware.

On a basic level, creating conscious awareness involves making the unconscious conscious. In practice, this means bringing unconscious elements, previously unknown to you, to the surface to be seen, accepted, and thoughtfully reflected upon in a loving and non-judgmental way.

When you allow yourself to open up in this way, creating more conscious awareness will enable you to ‘have room for more’ in your consciousness than what was the case before. In other words, your consciousness will expand. We are here talking about an expansion of consciousness.

When you view yourself from a higher, more expanded consciousness (which is also less ego-driven), it has the additional benefit of allowing you to see reality for what it is. You will experience a greater truth about yourself and the world.

When you have gained such clear knowledge and insight, you will have a solid foundation for making really good choices – both short-term and long-term.

Exactly how our customers expand their consciousness is something we can never predict, and it doesn’t really matter. We will use any technique or method to help them find and experience the truth.

A greater dose of truth about yourself and life (and your specific situation) always makes it easier to solve problems and challenges. Our experience is that when our customers reach this point, the solutions just effortlessly present themselves.

Some of our customers seek us out because they have already expanded their consciousness, for example, with entheogens / psychedelics. These people will then need help to transfer the wholeness they have experienced into their practical, daily life. Here, we assist with the integration of the psychedelic experience.

Interdisciplinary Methods and Techniques Are Our Concrete Tools

Working with consciousness and wholeness means working in an exceptionally interdisciplinary manner, which requires us to be super-generalists.

The many close interconnections between body, mind, spirit, emotions, and energies provide clear advantages when we work with you. In principle, we can work with any part of our customers and achieve good results – precisely because everything is interconnected.

For example, we might work with someone’s body to release emotions, or we might work with his / her mind to clarify things that have manifested physically.

Therefore, we work across various disciplines, including:

• Psychotherapy, coaching, mentoring, and the Enneagram (much of this we use in our work with conflict resolution, couples therapy, family therapy, business development, and entrepreneurship)

• Body and energy work, kinesiology, tapping, healing, and treatment of trauma

• Intuitive work, consciousness research, transpersonal psychology, and psychedelic research

In this way, we have a very large “toolbox”, and we use it freely depending on what we perceive the person we are working with needs, is ready for, and can benefit from.

Sometimes what is needed is just presence and conversation, at other times it is energy work, body work, resolving dysfunctional habits, emotional clarification, mental exercises, or an inner journey to the transpersonal realm.

But regardless of the methods we use, we do it playfully and lovingly. We like it to be non-ordinary, exciting, and fun. We take our work very seriously, but that does not make it ‘heavy’ or ‘laborious’.

Play Is Our Effective, Overall Approach

Play is surprisingly effective for a wide range of things, and in the context of guidance of consciousness, a playful approach makes everything easier – and not least, faster and more effective. Plus, of course, it’s entertaining and fun.

A playful approach also has the advantage that nothing is ever the same from session to session. Playfulness surprises. Everything is new every time. Both for the people we help and for us as Consciousness Guides.

A playful approach is also particularly effective for people who are highly intelligent. The case for such people is that their ego is accustomed to quickly anticipate everything and will thus implement various defense mechanisms against change. These defense mechanisms can be bypassed with a playful approach.

Sessions in Practice

Because our work is interdisciplinary and our approach is intuitive, playful, and experimental, it is very difficult to provide examples of what a typical session might look like.

However, we can generally say that conversation is typically the starting point for everything else. This is where we begin to understand who our customers are, how they approach things, what their strengths and challenges are, and why.

From there, depending on what we intuitively sense is needed for them to achieve their goals, we can bring out our toolbox and use the tools we deem useful in the situation.

The Atmosphere Is Relaxed and Cozy

It is very important for us and for the process that our customers feel good and relaxed in our company. Therefore, we have deliberately chosen to conduct the sessions in homely surroundings where they can hopefully lean back and feel at home.

We do our best to make it cozy, pleasant, and not least fun to be with us. When our customers feel that they can be open and completely relaxed in our presence, the work will also function at its best.

Working with us is intimate and deeply personal. Most people find that being with us does not feel like a client-therapist relationship, but more like being with two very good friends.

Our Work Is Both Experiential and Down-to-Earth Practical

When we work with people we always start with them and their needs. Their needs will change from session to session, and they will likely also change during a single session.

This means that the way we work will change. Sometimes we will work very experientially with people’s consciousness, such as taking them on inner journeys or working with their body and energy. Other times we will be more mental, because that is what is needed to more precisely figure out what is going on in their consciousness.

Since ideally the work in the session should be useful in people’s daily lives, it is also important that we are very practical. We spend a lot of time with our customers figuring out how they can create an optimal life for themselves in their everyday life.

This often requires us to create some very concrete exercises and agreements with them, which they can take home and work on.

Our Approach Is Loving, but We Also Give People a Gentle Push

One of our distinguishing features is that we spend a lot of time trying to understand people. To help our customers in the best way possible, our goal is to get to a point where we can internally experience what it must be like to be them. With a foot in both camps (ourselves and our customers), we are in a good position to help, quickly and effectively.

When we feel that we understand our customers from the inside, it is our job to help them reach a state where they function optimally. One of the ways we might help with creating more awareness is by lovingly giving people a little ‘push’ and challenging their mindset.

We typically try whatever it takes to create a small opening for change. To create this small window, we might provoke, turn things upside down, and push things to the extreme – all this to guide our customers more towards wholeness and truth.

Sessions with Us Have No Time Limit

It’s unusual, we know, but we have chosen never to set a time limit on our sessions. Processes of creating conscious awareness do not run by the clock and take as long as they take.

Sometimes they may be completed in an hour, but that is very rare. Typically, a session lasts between 2-3 hours, and sometimes even longer. (Our price is always the same, regardless of how long a session lasts or how many people participate.)

Our experience is that doing it this way gives our customers enough peace and space to let go and immerse themselves without fear of being sent off unresolved and unfinished.

This way of working also means that our customers generally do not need to meet with us that many times, as working with us is very intense and effective. Thus, it is also our experience that our customers, in the long run, do not have to spend as much money as they might otherwise have to.

We hope that this article on guidance of consciousness has given you a good idea of how we work.
