Abstract
“Eyes are windows of the Soul” (Shakespeare, 1609, Sonnet 46). That which is seen in the eye, that is the Self (Sages, 1947, Chandogya Upanishad, p.124). Self or Soul is the source of Consciousness and is Consciousness itself. It is this Consciousness who experiences Awareness through the five senses by intention, attention, memory, attitude and behaviour. A case study, the practice of an individual, deeply analysed, understood for more than 35years, applied to prevent and overcome neuroses is explained here with an attempt to know how Consciousness plays different roles in a human being’s cognitive process and how it affects Neurotic symptoms. It is explained how Indian and Western Psychology understand consciousness and its application in real life. The Case study proves that when the role of Consciousness and its physical location is understood, it would benefit enhancing the cognition capability of an individual in concentration, problem solving, creativity and modifying behaviour reducing anxiety, stress, depression and protects from Non Communicable Life- style Diseases.
