​Practicing mindfulness is a powerful tool that can help you focus your attention and manage stress. The practice can also help you think about your worries more productively, enabling you to gain insight and develop problem-solving skills. This article will provide you with some tips to help you develop mindfulness in your daily life. It also includes a few exercises that you can try. The key is to find a method that suits you.

​Other benefits of developing mindfulness include lower blood pressure, better sleep, and increased energy. Mindfulness has been shown to improve relationships and decrease the symptoms of anxiety and depression. 

Developing mindfulness can even help people with chronic pain and improve their overall health. However, seeing these benefits in an evident manner can take time. So it is best to practice mindfulness regularly with calm patience (which actually by itself, helps to develop proper mindfulness). 

The sooner you start with mindful-living, the better. And remember that mindfulness takes time. It is important to practice patience and consistency so that you can reap the benefits in due time.

One of the most important aspects of developing mindfulness is learning to be present and mindful throughout your day in every aspect of your life. This will allow you to enjoy your life more. 

Being aware of every experience is the key to developing mindfulness. It can be applied to anything, from eating a meal to walking a stroll, to watching a show or listening to a conversation. It requires you to be fully present in the scenario, in order to fully engage in the process. The benefits of being mindful are truly far-reaching.

First, practice is essential. Mindfulness is a practice, and it takes time. Just as you would not lose weight by eating healthy food for just a few days, similarly developing mindfulness takes time. You need to create a daily habit of practicing mindfulness. 

​Likewise, developing mindfulness is a process. The goal of starting and developing a mindfulness program is to teach you to become aware of your thoughts and actions on a continuing basis, in every aspect of your life.

By practicing mindfulness, you will become more attuned to your feelings and avoid anxiety. 

Practice asking more questions, such as "what is causing me to feel anxious?" or "should I avoid this stressful environment?" Rather than focusing on fighting anxiety, you can focus your energy on understanding what is happening. 

Practicing mindfulness can also benefit your overall brain health. You will be more aware and have more clarity in all areas of your life. The practice of mindfulness can also help you to make better decisions and choices. 

The ascension is the process by which the human soul ascends to the higher energy planes which is commonly called as the heavenly realm. There are three common signs that indicate the ascension process. These are: 

1. a visionary experience
2. the experience of immortality
3. the re-entry of souls into earth's plane of existence. 

Ascension is a positive experience, where one feels a deep and profound connection with the divine spiritual realms. But at the same time, it is not a state where one is part of that divine realm. The person will still be very much connected to the earthly plane of existence but will be able to feel the expansiveness of the cosmic realm and feel the associated peace and bliss! 

​Such a ascension involves an illumination experience. In mysticism, illumination occurs as the result of a transformation in consciousness. It involves a union with God or the cosmos. 

As a result of an illumination experience, the individual experiences an awareness of their own unease and opens up to contact with divinity. Once this occurs, the person will have a deeper connection with God or the cosmos.
As mentioned above, ascension involves emergence of a higher level of consciousness. 

As humans, when we ascend to a higher level of consciousness, we are more aware of our innermost being, the Holy Spirit or cosmic energy. The limiting concept of the ‘ego’, which makes us believe that we are an individual and separate from others, is gone, leaving only pure awareness, presence, and love. One is able to see beyond the myth is separateness of this material world and realize how we are all connected by invisible strands of energy. We are not ‘separate’ but are part of a larger cosmic body of existence.  

This is the development of a new consciousness. It is to gain the understanding that the human race along with every other form of creation, is the expression of a higher divine consciousness, making us part of a larger, universally comprehensive divine nature. 

An individual can then awaken to this higher divine knowledge. Ascension is a process, and it surely does not happen overnight, though the actual experience of transformation from ‘not knowing’ to ‘knowing’ can seem profound and spontaneous.

​We all see and relate with our physical body. This is probably the most “identifiable” thing about an individual for many people. But that is not the only body we have. Those of us who are sensitive to seeing energies are able to view another layer over our physical body called the auric body. This is directly related and always in sync with our physical body. This is where body stores its “physical memory”.
 
For e.g., many a times it’s been noted that people who lose a limb in an accident or other sudden occurrence, continue to feel that they still have that limb. When you view their auric body, you will continue to see faint traces of their limb. Once the physical part is gone, the auric body also diminishes over time and after a while- one will not see the “auric limb” for that amputee.
 
The other aspect of this auric body is that all kinds of physical ailments and other problems are first noted in the auric body. At this stage they can be dealt with comparative ease than when that problem manifests in the physical body. Most energy workers help people by utilizing, cleansing and other wise positively manipulating the energy of their auric body.

​ Now comes the most important and also the most complex body we have- our Causal body. This is our connection with our soul journey. It contains all our karmas and samskars (karmic memory impressions). EVERYTHING that one experiences first finds its source in their causal body. Then if that karma is ripe to be fruition-ed, then it will manifest in the auric body and then finally in the physical body.
 
When one dies, their physical and auric body perishes BUT their causal body continues. This is the main layer of a Jiv (or Jeev, individual soul).

Please note the article on Jivatma. Then, when it is time to manifest again in this physical world, the causal body which exists with the Jeev, then takes on an ego- which then provides the physical body and its associated auric body.

Conscious living is very much essential in today’s fast moving world. Whenever one starts living consciously, one becomes more aware about one’s own self and being.  

One starts observing situations and analyses the information gathered by the senses. Taking the right decisions at the right situations with right attitude, etc is the outcome of conscious living. The thoughts which were directed towards external objects are diverted inwards. The scattered mind becomes focused mind thus improves the productivity in professional life. 
​
Once there is proper intellectual understanding about one’s own mind and being, the fear is driven out from the mind.  The doubts arising out of fear vanishes and the confidence level increases. It happens with both the personal and professional life.  One becomes more aware about the social and family responsibilities. 

The mind automatically starts managing the emotions, expectations, desires. One gets an understanding that he is not limited to this body. It is possible to understand one’s own nature and thus possible to overcome his own limitations and constraints in the character. The level of concentration increases, and one can focus on any aspect according to the situation, without any distraction. 

Conscious living is again a transformation of one’s basic nature and quality of mind. One starts experiencing that the events in the life as just natural happenings and realizes that the body and mind are only the instruments to perform the actions.  Rather than expectations driving the mind, self confidence increases through this process and the individual is driven by confidence and faith.  

Conscious Living must start by synchronizing the body and the mind by being aware on each and every action performed by the body.   This is because, whatever the thoughts arise in the mind, the intellect analyses it and executes through the sense of organs in the body.  Through increased awareness, one thinks a before performing any action thus the intellectual discrimination starts. 

Let it be any situation in the life, one who is sharp only can win the adverse situations by overcoming the difficulties.  The individual is aware about what to talk, when and where.  

Basically, one starts facing the situations wisely. One can use this awareness to increase productivity so as to manage multiple jobs and responsibilities.  The mind becomes free from fear and is equipped to grasp new ideas and concepts.  One starts accepting the situations with the understanding that with the help of the effort put forth, the success comes naturally. One starts accepting failures also by realizing the fact that it is natural and keeps trying for the next chance of success.  

A selfless attitude starts developing internally and a good relationship is established with the fellow beings. One becomes broad minded and is capable of accepting limitations of other individuals. 

Since there is no fear, worries and tensions, there is no mental stress or struggle.  This attitude keeps the diseases away and helps to manage the health in a good way.

Ji Won casually asked Juma, “are you able to look into the future?”

Juma said, “well, we all have certain intuitive abilities. The more one is in-sync with the natural energy, that much more we can determine events, particularly if they are supposed to occur in the near future. Why do you ask?”

Ji Won answered, “we have these oracle cards and sticks in Korea. I have always questioned how good they really are at predicting future events. So, I wondered if you knew anything about it.”
​
Juma smiled and got up. She motioned Ji Won to follow. She went into her study and opened one of the side cabinets. Ji Won looked inside and thought, ‘there must be atleast forty or maybe fifty boxes of various Oracle divination decks.’ She looked at Ji Won with a twinkle in her eyes and said, “pick one of them, whichever appeals to you and I will show you something cool…” Saying this she went back to the living room, leaving Ji Won alone with the oracle divination decks.

Ji Won looked thru them. They had all kinds of titles and artwork. Some were claiming to be from ancient civilizations, some had fantasy art and some others had picturesque nature images. Finally, he selected one that had a picture of horse on its box cover and brought it with him to the living room. Ji Won liked horses. He was fascinated by them.

Juma was waiting for him at the table and Ji Won joined her. He offered her the box. Juma shook her head saying, “no no... I don’t need it. You are going to do something fun.” Ji Won looked skeptically at her and settled down at the table and started inspecting that oracle deck.

Finally, when Ji Won looked up, Juma said, “now, is there something in the near future that you would like to know about?” Ji Won quickly answered, “ofcourse! How my new drama series will do! As you know Park Areum committed suicide. Considering it is a light Romantic Comedy, we are all worried as to how people will receive our series… In fact, I try not to think about it. Every time I do, I can feel my blood pressure rising!” Ji Won’s countenance changed. His worries and concern were obvious from his facial expression and rapid speech.

Juma said, “okay. So, ask the deck-oracle to show you the most potential public-response outcome for your upcoming drama series. After this, start shuffling the cards. When you feel an inner voice saying ‘stop’, then stop shuffling, cut the deck, keep the top part of the deck on the side and then pick the first card from the stack still in your hand. Got it?”

“Yes.” Ji Won said and started shuffling the cards. He then cut the deck and picked up the top card from the cards remaining in his hand. It said, ‘Small influences. Can gain momentum.’ It did not look too good. Ji Won felt even more upset. He looked up and saw Juma smiling. He gave her a perplexed look.

She said, “what you were experiencing, the card you received and how you are now feeling are all very typical… but before I say anything about it. Let us do one more thing.” Saying this, she motioned for Ji Won to keep the deck aside. Then she asked him, “obviously you want your series to be very successful. But what does success look like with these series?”

Ji Won answered, “the weekly ratings report… all the media speaking about it being such a great entertainment… many interview requests… brands approaching for product promotion… I mean, there are just so many things that follow…” Before Ji Won could complete, Juma said, “good. Now, close your eyes and breathe deep.” Ji Won did as she suggested. “Now, visualize your series being a super duper hit. How everyone is appreciating the series, how they are appreciating your work, how you are being approached by brands and so on…”

​Juma waited while Ji Won took a few minutes to visualize the success of his upcoming series. His entire countenance visibly relaxed. Juma said, ‘whenever you feel calm and centered about this visualization, then open up your eyes.” After a couple of minutes or so, Ji Won opened his eyes. He looked relaxed and he was smiling. He asked Juma, “now what?”

Juma pointed to the oracle deck and said, "please put all the cards together, shuffle them, ask the same question about how your drama series will do, then cut the deck and pick up the top card from the cards remaining in your hand. Everything just like last time. Okay?”

Ji Won shuffled the cards, cut the deck, and picked up the top card from the stash in his hand. It said, ‘Supreme success is assured to the one who does the needful work.” He was shocked. He looked at Juma and said how is that possible?

Juma smiled and said, “this is the power of the human energy field. We have the capability to change our life experiences by what we project into the world. It is called as the ‘Law of Attraction’, but unfortunately, many a times people think of this Universal law to simply mean- wish or think about an outcome. It is not just about wishing or thinking, it is about truly modifying our energy field to indicate what it is that we desire and then let the Universal law do its work… to attract your desired objective to you.”

Ji Won thought about it for a few minutes and said, “if that is the case, then are all these Oracle decks useless? Why do you have so many of them?”

Juma replied, “Oracle decks are not useless at all. In fact, they can come in quite handy when we utilize them in a sensible manner. You probably did not realize how your ‘worry energy field’ was attracting that not-so-pleasant outcome, did you?

“So, if you were back home and were wondering about how something will pan out, then giving a quick shuffle and looking into a potential outcome would have been a nice idea. But it is important to remember that it is a potential outcome. It is always a potential outcome. Because no one can predict the future. Future will show itself at its perfect time, as the now of that moment- it is not for us to worry or wonder about.
​
“Our job is to do the best that we can in any given situation, at any given time. With that in mind, when we find that a potential outcome is not as per our liking, then we can modify our approach, action and so on to ensure a favorable outcome. See what I mean? Till we utilize the information we receive from these oracle decks and other divination ‘predictions’ to better our effort, then they can be great life-tools. In fact, they originally were always intended to be just that. Unfortunately, over the years, human greed and dogmatic behavior have turned them into questionable practices!
