Awakening Consciousness:
How Awareness Changes All Aspects of Life
How Awareness Changes All Aspects of Life
Awareness (awakening of consciousness) is a key practice for every human being, which, running as a red line through our lives, adds harmony, efficiency, clarity, accuracy and precision to everything we do. If there is a feeling that a situation is disharmonious and actions are wrong, it is necessary to simply awaken awareness. And that is the best way out of any problem.
What is awareness ?
Awareness is the awakening of consciousness, continuous attentiveness in every moment of life, when during the performance of any actions there is no wandering in thoughts, and attention is directed to what is being done specifically at the moment.
Ordinary perception is like a half-dream state in which somewhere on an unconscious level there is a “frame-by-frame” scanning of what is happening at the current moment. Then, the information “accepted” in the form of images goes to more detailed processing with the help of the thinking apparatus. Thus, a person loses contact with pure reality, which is replaced by his (karmically) conditioned thoughts. Awareness awakens the dormant consciousness.
The purpose of mindfulness practice is to divert attention from thoughts about what is happening to what is happening in the “now” moment.
In essence, mindfulness and meditation are synonymous. The difference with meditation is that while you are doing it, you are practicing mindfulness in the most comfortable environment possible. However, a person cannot spend years sitting with his eyes closed. Moreover, mindfulness in motion is a more advanced practice that requires a greater maturity of consciousness.

The practice of mindfulness
The goal is to make attention continuous, not distracted by thoughts for even a moment. Through this constant alertness of consciousness, there is an incredible subtle experience, as if you have awakened. At first it seems miraculous that this amazing freedom and fullness of the continuous “now”, the feeling of being has always been with you, and how strange that no one notices or talks about it.
Surrounding space and objects lose their dimensions, because all these experiences are only mentally colored. When you look at familiar shapes, the fact that their size is conventional becomes obvious. It is difficult to say whether they are big or small, far or near, and this does not make movement difficult, and even on the contrary, it makes it more perceptive and precise.
With further deepening of awareness, a sense of eternity may appear, as if what is happening here and now has always been there, and distances to objects may seem infinitely distant. The body begins to be perceived as if from the outside. The speed of all phenomena also loses its usual criteria, and even in simple movements and feelings an incredibly fast flow of sensations is experienced. These experiences cannot be conveyed in words. Nothing compares to direct experience.

How to master the practice of awareness?
At first, awareness practice appears to be something almost impossible to do for most people. But over time, especially in conjunction with regular sitting meditation, mindfulness becomes more and more natural and spontaneous. It usually takes years of work on oneself to fully realize it. It's not easy, but developing mindfulness is the real key to personal evolution - the thread that pulls all the parameters of a successful personality together.
The most difficult battle is the battle with ourselves. And the more effort we put in, the more difficult it becomes. The whole thing is to stop making efforts and suppressing the mind. It is necessary to abandon all effort, surrender and relax the head. Then mindfulness flows spontaneously, like natural awakening. An ordinary person is in a continuous tension of the mind, which prevents a clear perception of reality. The beginning practitioner, often by his efforts tends to further increase this tension, which leads to stress and nervousness. Proper practice happens effortlessly when the mind is relaxed. Consciousness flows by itself, you just don't need to interfere with it.
Compared to “random” natural cycles, personal development is markedly accelerated through intentional practice. As awareness deepens, all those (karmic) feelings that you were destined to experience at the event level begin to be lived without apparent reasons, without dependence on external circumstances, and pass with the least resistance - not as long and painful as at the event level. Although the resistance and level of humility of spontaneous relaxation is also individualized.
For some time, while personal karmas are released without depending on events, from the outside you may look strange, or even inadequate to others. To avoid this, there is a practice where you, without burdening others with your amazing experiences, behave normally, in accordance with the event level, rather than with your inner world, which other people will not see and cannot understand.
At first, when opening new worlds, almost everyone has a fierce desire to show their discoveries to others. In most cases, you should not do this, because everyone stubbornly clings to their own picture of the world, wary of any changes. You can try to share knowledge carefully without any imposition and offense, if those around you do not want to hear you. Each world lives according to its own laws. And if a person needs to go through the precious experience of worldly illusions, it is unlikely that you will be able to change his destiny.
