Abstract
The Indian philosophical tradition believes that Self or Soul is the source of Consciousness and which one experiences through the five senses by means of attention, intention, thoughts, desire, memory, beliefs, ideas, attitude, action and behavior. Effort is made to explain the relationship between Consciousness and human cognitive processes and their bearing on neurotic symptoms. Additionally, it is explained how the Indian and Western psychologies understand Consciousness and its application in real life by referring to the practice of Rajyoga. It is contended that when the physical location and the role of Consciousness is understood, it is likely to facilitate the cognitive capabilities of individual and helps in modifying behaviour and reduces anxiety, stress, depression (i.e., neuroses) and gives protection from life- style diseases.
