How Do I Discover My Purpose for Being Here Now

September 7, 2025 By Terry Swejkoski Leave a Comment

When your life aligns with your purpose for being here, you will actually believe it, and your ego will fully merge with your soul to fulfill your Highest Self potential. At this point of Soul Merge, you will “feel” Source Energy guiding every action you take.

Discovering your purpose for being here is an aha moment like no other. You will “feel it” at the very core of your Being. At this point of harmony with the cosmic power of the universe, nothing can hold you back, and your focus will be uniquely molded to serving all Beings.

If you are tired of “playing small”, you can make a choice right now to step into your greatness. No one can choose for you, but you must be ready to fulfill your destiny for the paradigm shift to manifest. Age does not matter; you can step into a more profound awareness of yourself at any moment.

The Conscious Clarity Center was conceived based on the philosophy of transformation and has been aligned with the founder’s cosmic vision for increasing global consciousness since its inception. If you feel unsure of your purpose, call us, and we will assist you in answering the questions that have been holding you back until now.

International Day of Charity

September 5, 2025 By Terry Swejkoski Leave a Comment

The Unseen Foundation of Spiritual Transformation

The journey toward higher consciousness is a profound and personal path. At the Conscious Clarity Center, our purpose is to illuminate this path, offering guidance, resources, and a community for spiritual seekers. We are dedicated to providing programs that inspire Spiritual Transformative Education, creating a space where inner growth can flourish. Yet, behind every workshop, every piece of guidance, and every connection made, there is a quiet, essential engine at work: our Operations Fund.

Today, on the International Day of Charity, we invite you to look at the foundational support that makes our shared spiritual mission possible. While many acts of giving are directed toward specific, visible programs, the Operations Fund is the bedrock upon which everything else is built. It is the steady, reliable force that sustains our ability to serve you and the wider community.

Why the Operations Fund is Vital

In any nonprofit organization, there are costs that, while not glamorous, are absolutely critical. These are the expenses that keep the lights on, the website running, and the doors open to all who seek knowledge. The Operations Fund for the Conscious Clarity Center is one of the most vital, yet often overlooked, areas for support.

Donations to this fund directly cover:

  • Marketing and Outreach: To fulfill our mission, we must connect with both spiritual seekers who can benefit from our programs and the gifted spiritual teachers who lead them. This fund allows us to reach those who are searching for the clarity and transformation we offer.
  • Website and Technology: Our digital presence is a crucial hub for resources, event information, and community connection. The Operations Fund covers variable website charges and maintenance, ensuring our online home remains accessible and secure.
  • Administrative Essentials: Running a nonprofit organization involves numerous administrative expenses. From compliance and record-keeping to basic office needs, these costs are necessary to operate with integrity and efficiency.

Without the support of our Operations Fund, our capacity to serve would be significantly diminished. It is the lifeblood that allows our larger mission of Spiritual Transformative Education to thrive.

Your Contribution Creates a Ripple Effect

When you contribute to the Conscious Clarity Center Operations Fund, you are doing more than simply helping us pay a bill. You are making a conscious investment in the spiritual well-being of our community. Your generosity ensures that our work can continue, grow, and reach those who need it most.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps sustain the container in which transformation occurs. It allows us to plan for the future, develop new programs, and maintain a stable foundation from which we can confidently pursue our spiritual goals. This is a powerful and direct way to support the entire ecosystem of our organization.

Since the Conscious Clarity Center is a registered 501(c)(3) Educational Nonprofit Organization, your generosity is also recognized as a tax-deductible contribution.

Support Our Foundation Today

We can only achieve our goals with the assistance of generous donations from members of our community. Your support is the cornerstone of our efforts. Suppose you have found value in our work and believe in the importance of accessible Spiritual Transformative Education. In that case, we ask you to consider donating to our Operations Fund today.

Your support helps us keep our focus where it belongs: on providing the tools and guidance for the collective journey toward enlightenment.

Thank you in advance for your profound generosity and for being an integral part of our community’s path to conscious clarity.

With deepest gratitude,

Terry Swejkoski
President and CEO

Behind the Scenes

Behind the Scenes of Consciously Live What You Feel: A Deeply Personal Journey

Behind every profound book lies an equally profound story. Consciously Live What You Feel emerges not just from a place of knowledge but from a life intensely lived, challenged, and transformed. My mission to guide others toward greater mindfulness and emotional awareness was born out of my own experiences, struggles, and triumphs. This behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creation of the book reveals my heart, soul, and inspiration that shaped its pages.

The Seed of Inspiration

Great works often arise from a singular, life-shaping realization, and for me, that realization was the overlooked power of feeling. I recognized early on in my personal growth that our modern world urges us to suppress, avoid, or rush through emotions—especially the difficult ones. Instead of pausing to experience and understand these feelings, many of us live in patterns of frustration, disconnection, or even exhaustion.

The idea for Consciously Live What You Feel developed organically from my deep commitment to personal reflection. I wanted to bridge the gap between understanding emotions on a theoretical level and living consciously within one’s emotional realities. Through my life practice of mindfulness and extensive study, I realized that emotional awareness is not just about gaining insight—it’s an active, practical, and compassionate process.

My own life stood as proof of this truth. I experienced firsthand how leaning into emotions, rather than escaping them, could foster personal growth, resilience, and fulfillment. Sharing these revelations became a calling—and Consciously Live What You Feel was my answer.

Writing as a Journey of Discovery

From the outset, I knew this book couldn’t merely scratch the surface. Instead, I envisioned it as an immersive guide, walking readers step-by-step through the practices that had transformed my own life. However, to achieve this, the writing process itself required the same kind of mindfulness and presence that the book promotes.

A Deliberate and Reflective Process

Writing Consciously Live What You Feel was not an endeavor to “lecture” readers—it was an act of invitation. Every word was chosen with care, not only to explain concepts clearly but also to create space for readers to feel seen and supported on their journeys. I spent countless hours reflecting on how each chapter could guide readers gently yet effectively toward more profound self-awareness.

Pauses became an integral part of my writing process. When phrases or ideas didn’t feel right, I paused and relied on my mindful practices—stepping back, meditating, journaling, and patiently letting clarity emerge. Trusting this process of intuition and reflection ensured that the book spoke not only from the intellect but primarily from the heart, guided by the Source Energy.

Challenges Along the Way

Anyone who has created something deeply personally transitional knows that the process is rarely without its hurdles. For me, the most significant challenge was striking a balance between vulnerability and authority. To write authentically and meaningfully about mindfulness and emotional awareness, I needed to draw on some of my own harrowing experiences.

Choosing to share personal insights wasn’t about presenting myself as an expert without flaws—but as someone who had walked the road of mindfulness and discovered its power through trial and error. At times, revisiting certain emotions or struggles felt raw, even overwhelming. However, I leaned into these moments, practicing the very lessons I sought to teach.

A second challenge was ensuring accessibility. Deep concepts like emotional awareness and mindful living could easily feel abstract or intimidating. To address this, I continuously asked myself two questions during the writing process:

  • How can I make this idea actionable?
  • Will this resonate with and empower someone at any stage of their self-discovery?

The result is a book brimming with relatable anecdotes, simple mindfulness techniques, and practical wisdom that meets readers where they are—whether they’re exploring mindfulness for the first time or have already immersed themselves in years of practice.

The Heart of the Book’s Message

Above all, I wanted Consciously Live What You Feel to serve as a guide for transformation. The heart of my message lies in the belief that emotions are not impediments to be avoided or suppressed; they are the keys to living authentically. By learning to acknowledge, accept, and explore our feelings, we gain clarity, freedom, and direction in life.

Practicality was another major priority. The book is structured with actionable steps that readers can implement in their lives immediately. Exercises such as mindful breathwork, journaling prompts, and emotional reflection practices are woven seamlessly throughout the chapters, providing readers with tools to experience mindfulness firsthand rather than simply reading about it.

It’s this combination of depth and accessibility that makes Consciously Live What You Feel so impactful. By blending personal stories, actionable guidance, and compassionate truth, I aimed to create something that resonates with readers on multiple levels—not only intellectually, but also spiritually and emotionally.

Reflecting on the Outcome

Every author hopes for their work to make an impact, and the response to Consciously Live What You Feel has been humbling and heartwarming for me. Readers consistently share how its teachings led them to meaningful breakthroughs. Whether it’s the ability to face difficult emotions honestly, the practice of bringing mindfulness into family relationships, or the discovery of inner peace for the first time, the feedback speaks volumes about the book’s resonance.

What has been especially rewarding is hearing how the book sparks dialogue—conversations within book clubs, between partners, or among friends. The themes of the book aren’t ones to be processed alone; they naturally invite connection, reflection, and shared growth.

An Invitation for You

The story of Consciously Live What You Feel is one of careful creation, heartfelt authenticity, and a commitment to sharing the beauty of mindfulness with the world. But at its core, the book’s story remains incomplete—because it’s not just my story; it’s meant to become yours too.

Every reader who picks up this book begins their chapter, exploring the practices, insights, and courageous choice to engage with life consciously. You are invited to take this step and participate in the larger conversation about mindful living and emotional awareness, discovering the transformation that lies within you.

Begin Your Journey

Are you ready to live fully? To explore the depths of your emotions, connect with your true self, and cultivate a life of authenticity and peace? Consciously Live What You Feel is here to guide you on your journey.

Order your copy of Consciously Live What You Feel today and discover the teachings that have already transformed the lives of many. The first step to mindful transformation is closer than you think.

Reader Testimonials for Consciously Live What You Feel: Stories of Transformation and Growth

The words of those who’ve walked the path before us can be a guiding light, offering insight into how a particular experience might touch our own lives. For Consciously Live What You Feel readers, the book has been that pivotal experience—an invitation to explore emotional awareness, mindfulness, and self-discovery. This book has not only inspired but also transformed the lives of many who’ve embraced its teachings.

Below, you’ll find highlights from reader testimonials that capture the essence of this book’s impact. Their stories paint a vivid picture of how Consciously Live What You Feel bridges the gap between who we are and who we aspire to become.

A Beacon of Clarity in a Busy World

“My mind has always been cluttered,” says Dana R., a reader who struggled with balancing life’s many demands. “I never realized how loud it was until I read this book. Consciously Live What You Feel showed me how to pause. Through its pages, I learned how to listen to myself—the real me hiding beneath all the noise.”

Dana’s experience reflects one of the book’s central themes: creating space for self-awareness. For many readers like her, the book offers practical insights into quieting the mental chaos and connecting with inner clarity. This intentional act of pausing is not about avoidance—it’s about making room for understanding.

Personal Growth Through Emotional Awareness

“For years, I thought avoiding my emotions made me stronger,” says Evan L., echoing a sentiment shared by many readers. “But this book taught me that emotional awareness doesn’t make you weak—it makes you free. For the first time in years, I feel like I’m living, not just surviving.”

Terrance (Terry) Swejkoski’s approach to emotions—viewing them as guides rather than obstacles—is an empowering perspective. Testimonies like Evan’s highlight the relief and growth that come from learning to honor all emotions, not just the pleasant ones. By practicing emotional awareness, readers are uncovering deeper layers of resilience and self-compassion in their daily lives.

A Guide to Meaningful Relationships

“After reading Consciously Live What You Feel, I finally understand why my relationships never felt fulfilling,” shares Ana M. “I was so unaware of my emotional patterns that I kept repeating the same mistakes. Now, I see both myself and others more clearly. I’m able to show up for the people I love in ways I never thought possible.”

Ana’s testimonial highlights another powerful aspect of the book—how mindfulness and emotional awareness permeate our relationships. Terry’s practical guidance encourages readers to cultivate empathy and presence, thereby transforming their connection with those around them.

The ability to strengthen bonds through deeper understanding is an enduring theme throughout the book, providing value not only to the individual but also to the community they’re part of.

A Gateway to Inner Peace

“I used to think mindfulness was something only monks could achieve,” writes Jason P., a beginner to mindfulness practices. “But Terry writes with such compassion and simplicity that I felt encouraged to try. The exercises are approachable for anyone, and they’ve made such a difference in how I experience my day-to-day life.”

It’s easy to feel intimidated by the concept of mindfulness, especially for those just starting to seek spiritual guidance. But as Jason notes, Terry breaks down complex ideas with warmth and clarity. His book empowers readers to take baby steps toward mindfulness, building confidence as they begin to notice its positive effects.

Sparked Conversations That Change Lives

“So many of the discussions I had after reading this book left me in tears—the good kind,” says Riley W. “This book didn’t just help me; it helped my friends and family, as we started having conversations we’d avoided for years. It was like we all woke up to each other.”

Riley’s story demonstrates the ripple effect that mindfulness and emotional awareness can have. What begins as an individual transformation often blossoms into collective healing, as readers share their experiences and learnings with those closest to them.

The Core Message That Resonates

A common thread running through these testimonials is the resounding appreciation for Consciously Live What You Feel’s compassionate and relatable message. Readers consistently praise the author for his ability to present emotional and spiritual growth not as distant goals, but as accessible practices anyone can incorporate into their lives.

This book is not about achieving perfection or following a rigid set of rules; it’s about making progress, showing kindness to ourselves, and recognizing the value of being present.

Your Journey Awaits

For those who have discovered Consciously Live What You Feel, the book has been a gentle guide and an unwavering friend on their path to personal transformation. From fostering self-awareness to building stronger relationships, it encapsulates lessons that are universally powerful yet deeply personal.

Emotional Awareness

July 25, 2025 By Terry Swejkoski Leave a Comment

Understanding Emotional Awareness and Its Role in Mindful Living

We often find ourselves navigating life on autopilot, reacting to situations without truly understanding why we feel a certain way. Our emotions, a vibrant spectrum of joy, sadness, anger, and everything in between, are more than fleeting reactions; they serve as profound messengers, inviting us to listen, reflect, and connect on a deeper level. Emotional awareness—the ability to recognize, understand, and work with these emotions—is a critical part of personal growth and mindful living.

Inspired by the teachings in my book Consciously Live What You Feel, this post explores the essence of emotional awareness, its importance in fostering self-discovery, and practical ways to nurture it in our daily lives.

What Is Emotional Awareness?

At its core, emotional awareness is about being in tune with your emotions and understanding how you feel about them. It involves identifying your feelings, understanding their triggers, and perceiving how they affect your actions and interactions. More than that, it’s the practice of accepting those emotions without judgment.

Many of us suppress or deny certain feelings, believing them to be unproductive or harmful. But emotions—whether they bring comfort or discomfort—carry valuable insights. They reflect our needs, boundaries, and values. When we learn to observe and welcome them, we unlock the ability to respond to life with greater clarity, compassion, and intent.

Why Does Emotional Awareness Matter?

  • It Deepens Self-Understanding

Emotional awareness acts as a mirror, reflecting our inner world. By recognizing what we feel and why, we gain insight into our desires, fears, and patterns. This self-awareness forms the foundation for personal transformation and authenticity.

  • It Enhances Mindful Living

Mindfulness and emotional awareness are closely intertwined. When we’re aware of our emotions, we’re better equipped to stay present and engage fully with our experiences. This connection creates a richer, more grounded life.

  • It Boosts Emotional Resilience

Life inevitably brings challenges and setbacks. Emotional awareness provides us with the tools to process these difficulties in healthy ways, thereby reducing the tendency to react impulsively or avoid discomfort.

  • It Strengthens Relationships

Being aware of your own emotions allows you to respond to others with empathy. This awareness enhances communication, builds trust, and fosters deeper, more meaningful connections.

How to Develop Emotional Awareness

Cultivating emotional awareness is a lifelong practice, not a destination. Here are five practical steps I feel will assist you in beginning to integrate this essential skill into your daily life:

  1. Create Space to Pause

Life moves quickly, leaving little room to notice our emotional state. To develop emotional awareness, begin by incorporating intentional pauses into your daily routine. These moments of stillness allow you to check in with yourself.

How:

Set aside time to sit quietly, close your eyes, and tune in to your body. Ask yourself questions like, “What am I feeling right now?” or “How does my body feel in this moment?” This simple act of noticing helps you reconnect with your inner experience.

Tip:

Use reminders, like an alarm on your phone or visual cues, to establish the habit of regular emotional check-ins.

  1. Name Your Feelings

Putting words to your emotions can demystify them and make them easier to process. Instead of dismissing feelings as vague discomfort, explore and define them.

How:

When you experience a strong emotion, pause and identify it. Is it frustration or sadness? Maybe it’s a mix of excitement and anxiety. There’s no “right” answer—what matters is your honesty.

Tip:

Journaling can be a powerful tool here. Write about your emotions and their possible triggers to gain a deeper understanding of your internal world.

  1. Practice Self-Compassion

Often, we resist certain emotions because they feel uncomfortable, inconvenient, or shameful. Emotional awareness invites us to approach these feelings with compassion instead of judgment.

How:

When you notice a complex emotion, please take a moment to acknowledge its presence. Remind yourself that it’s okay to feel this way. Speak kindly to yourself, as if you were comforting a loved one.

Tip:

Use affirmations like, “It’s natural to feel this way,” or, “My emotions are valid and important.” These gentle reminders can shift self-critical narratives.

  1. Explore Your Triggers

Understanding what causes your emotions can help you respond to triggers thoughtfully rather than impulsively. This understanding is invaluable for emotions that feel overwhelming or repetitive.

How:

Reflect on recent emotional experiences. What circumstances or interactions preceded them? Were there any patterns? Over time, developing this awareness can reveal more profound insights into your needs and boundaries.

Tip:

When you notice a pattern tied to negative emotions, consider how you can approach similar situations differently in the future.

  1. Use Mindful Practices to Stay Present

Being present allows you to experience your emotions without becoming fully consumed by them. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation or mindful breathing, anchor you in the moment and deepen your emotional awareness.

How:

Try a simple mindful breathing exercise when you feel a strong emotion. Focus on your breath, observing it without trying to change it. Allow the emotion to rise and fall naturally, noticing its impermanence.

Tip:

Combine mindfulness with movement, such as yoga or walking meditation, if sitting still feels challenging.

The Path Toward Greater Emotional Awareness

Developing emotional awareness is an ongoing process that requires patience and a curious mindset. By bringing mindfulness to your emotions, you not only foster a deeper understanding of yourself but also cultivate a life of greater balance and harmony.

It’s essential to approach this practice with gentleness. Remember, the goal isn’t to become “perfect” at managing emotions or to avoid unpleasant feelings altogether. Instead, it’s about creating space for all emotions to exist, viewing them as valuable teachers rather than obstacles.

Explore Emotional Awareness with Consciously Live What You Feel

My book, Consciously Live What You Feel, is a profound guide for anyone seeking to deepen their emotional awareness and understanding. The book goes beyond theoretical concepts, offering practical techniques and compassionate insights to help readers fully embrace and work with their emotions.

By exploring the pages of my book, you’ll find tools to integrate mindfulness into your daily life, enhance your connection with yourself, and unlock the inner clarity that comes from living consciously.

If you’ve been yearning to connect with your emotions on a deeper level, now is the time to start.
