This six step approach to embracing a peaceful consciousness is spelled out in the word A.C.C.E.S.S.
The acronym spells out key actions that help us transition from a state of loss or sense of limitation to one of heightened insight and a feeling of gratitude.

A – Appreciation – appreciative words, thoughts, and actions on a daily basis
C – Compassion – understanding others
C - Choice – choosing appreciative thoughts and compassion for others
E - Energy – knowing that everything is energy and is always shifting; we can attract in to our lives what we want to create
S – Shift – being self disciplined to stay on track with paving a positive pathway for ourselves
S - Spirit – spirit is our interconnection with everything else

For me, these words represent a way of being in the world that is conscious, and rewards me with a lighter state of being. They act as keystones that bring me back, again and again, to a more positive experience of my life.

I choose appreciation for all the wonderful things in my life and i am calmed by focusing on these positives.

I choose compassion and I am able to see things from another’s perspective; I let go of my tight grip on my own perspective and try to understand another’s. This process relaxes my mind and opens my awareness, I feel as though I were in meditation: letting go of judgement, embracing understanding, and experiencing compassion.
