Directions Step 1 – Post (15 points) In at least 300 spell-checked and grammatically correct words with paragraphs that are numbered answer the following: Describe your experience with the 5 different levels of awareness described in the book, demonstrating your understanding of each term: Higher Level Consciousness – describe an example when your thinking been was its best: most original, creative, problem solving and/or transcendent. Lower Level Consciousness – describe an experience of automatic processing or day dreaming. Altered States of Consciousness – describe an example of when consciousness was altered, if you include a example of recreational substance use, that is fine, please also include a second non-drug induced example of an altered state. Subconscious Awareness – describe an example of your processing of information when sleeping or dreaming. No Awareness – describe an example when you were processing outside your awareness thoughts, emotions, goals, or perceptions. 2. Recommend a treatment/solution: Many of us get lost trying to alter our consciousness through substance use and other addictive behavior (including cell phones, food, gaming, gambling, sex, and work). Imagine you have a friend, family member, co-worker or classmate who is dealing with substance use or addictive behavior issues. Based on research, recommend a therapeutic strategy to reduce or stop the substance use/addictive behavior. Be specific and provide examples. Remember to provide citation(s) or website link(s) supporting your recommendation. 3. Now for your self-care: Take a brief inventory of how you are feeling in your body and the state of your mind prior to the next step (no need to write, just notice).

Share what, if any, changes you noticed in your body and your state of mind after listening to the meditation? (written answer) 5. THROUGHLINE – What did your culture and family teach you about altering your consciousness? What methods of altering one’s consciousness are approved or disapproved? [Note, this question is not specifically about drug use – but is that culturally interesting if you thought it was?]
