In neurosciences, it is usual to speak of states of consciousness and to assign a neuronal origin. Moreover, the notion of consciousness is usually underpinned by an ontology (eg is conscious that can be reported verbally) and a monistic or dualistic epistemological position. In this paper we propose a model that: 1) replace the word "state" by Husserl's term "modalization", so in order to emphasize the flexible and labile nature of consciousness, 2) does not presuppose any ontology and no dualistic or monistic conception of mind, 3) does not pose the question of the origin of consciousness, 4) considers the modalizations of consciousness are dynamic forms that can be described by the attractors of a morphodynamic model, 5) describes the modalizations of consciousness as the complex combination of manners (intellection, emotions, memory ...), and 6) allows to consider the character of both intentional (Husserl) and impressional (Henry) of consciousness. This model also incorporates vigilance and attention, in the fine modulation changes in modalization of consciousness. We propose also to consider that many psychotherapies (hypnosis, neurofeedback, psychoanalysis, EMDR ...) involve psychological changes caused by induced modalizations of consciousness.
