Welcome/Introduction

Welcome to Conscious Comments, the website devoted to helping the world live a globally conscious life. What does it mean to be “conscious”? This is the best definition I’ve found: “Denoting or relating to a part of the human mind that is aware of a person's self, environment, and mental activity and that to a certain extent determines his choice of action.”

If you’ve ever heard Gandhi’s saying, “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” and wondered to yourself, ‘how do I do that?’ Conscious Comments can show you some ways. Living consciously is good for the environment, the community, and the world, including you! It means being aware and giving thought to how you live so that your actions benefit everyone. What we hope to accomplish here at Conscious Comments is to give you ideas and examples of how to live a conscious life.

Our articles, videos, pictures and links will provide a wealth of positive actions that are already happening world wide

and that you can do too. There are many ways to live consciously, and we have

divided them into a few sections:

In the World: Here you will find how people around the world are living consciously and what places need your conscious assistance.

Music: Did you know that you could increase your conscious living by simply listening to conscious music? Here, you will find artists and music that will raise your consciousness and positive energy.

Environment: We have all heard about the negative effects mankind has had on the environment. In this section, you can find simple tips to help heal mother earth.

Healthy Living: Find ways, big and small, to live a physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy life.

Joie de vie (the Joy of Life): Life is to be enjoyed! Joy is increased by conscious living. This section explores the many joys of life that can lift your spirit. Art, food, travel, youth activities and more are featured here.

Guest Editorial: Conscious reggae artist Rocker-T shares a wealth of knowledge on living a life of awareness.

Feature Articles: Guest writers from all walks of life share how they live or experience consciousness.

I hope you take a moment to browse each section and that you find at least one way to live more consciously.

Love, light, and Consciousness,

Empress Ashaki,
