Here’s a 7‑state meditation example list, giving a concrete experience or practice for each of the seven states of consciousness from the infographic:


Seven States of Consciousness – Examples

  1. Ordinary Waking Awareness

    • Example: Sitting at your desk and noticing your breath for a minute, focusing on what you are doing in the present moment.

    • Purpose: Build mindfulness in daily life, reduce distractions.

  2. Relaxed Awareness / Deep Rest

    • Example: Lying down and performing a body scan meditation, relaxing each muscle from head to toe.

    • Purpose: Release tension, restore energy, and calm the nervous system.

  3. Inner Observing Consciousness

    • Example: Journaling your emotions while sitting in meditation, observing thoughts and feelings without judgment.

    • Purpose: Gain emotional insight, foster self-reflection, and reduce reactive patterns.

  4. Intuitive Consciousness

    • Example: Meditating on a creative problem, then noting any sudden insights or solutions that arise spontaneously.

    • Purpose: Develop intuition, enhance creativity, and clarify decision-making.

  5. Expanded Awareness / Transcendental State

    • Example: Sitting in nature with eyes closed, feeling connected to the environment, sensing oneness with all living beings.

    • Purpose: Cultivate inner peace, empathy, and a sense of universal connection.

  6. Non-dual Consciousness / Witnessing Awareness

    • Example: Observing thoughts and sensations pass by during meditation without identifying with them, like clouds moving across the sky.

    • Purpose: Detachment from ego, reduced suffering, and increased clarity of mind.

  7. Pure Consciousness / Samadhi

    • Example: Deep, prolonged meditation where self disappears and only pure awareness or bliss remains, often experienced in silent retreats.

    • Purpose: Complete inner integration, profound healing, and a sense of timeless oneness.


If you want, I can also make a visual version of this list, matching it to the previous 7‑state infographic with examples attached to each state — this makes it much easier to remember and practice.

Do you want me to create that visual?
