Awareness Practice.

AWARENESS PRACTICE:

EVERY MOMENT IS A CHOICE.

The importance of Awareness Practice couldn’t be overemphasized. It is simply impossible to get away from a reflection of the level of familiarity with this quality in daily situations and especially in a process of self-regulation.

So it happens that a trail of your life brought you to a place where you can see and feel something uncanny familiar. You begin to recognize that you’ve been here before. You remember how stifling it felt with an impulse to escape the previous time. You remember how urgent “get out of here” was the sound of your inner voice and you decided to change your direction.

But to your astonishment here you are again with that sinking feeling of recognizing that you missed a turn somewhere on the path. You probably hear your inner voice calling you stupid, you feel frustrated culminating with an urge to beat yourself up. Don’t!

You did it the first time, remember? You beat yourself up.

You can easily get through the good times. It is when not easy times come, when you feel like a failure and want to give up to be small and passive, it is then you need to pay attention to the inner voice that perpetuates this cycle of conditioned response.

From my observation I notice that we start something that has a promise of positive outcome for us, feel great and then just stop. For reasons most of us can hardly explain we stop and find ourselves to be a target of a barrage of self-criticism, doubt, talk-down and beating for being a loser. The whole damn system is set up to bring us back to the point where our self-talk appears to have a foothold of exclusive evidence.

That is the ego-centric clinging called a conditioned mind. The moment you identify who you are with it, you begin to turn on self-hate, anger and insufficiency. And all of it stays operational by the unawareness of the process.

Without Awareness Practice, Pattern Works Approximately Like This:

I Am Inspired To Do Something.
I Am Engaged In Doing It.
I Am Feeling Good.
Inner Voice Convinces Me To Quit.
The Same Voice Beats Me Up For Quitting.

At some point without belittling ourselves we must stop at crossroads of choices and hear a gentle voice urging us to go into a different direction. We must heed that voice to make a choice to end suffering. Good news for us is that we at the crossroads of choices every present moment and that gentle encouraging guidance is always with us.

To notice this guidance more distinctly, we must increase our awareness.

To do that we must increase the space around the contents of this conditioned mind. Most people don’t have an idea that they can observe the contents of their mind. They habitually and blindly believe their thoughts to be true. As a fact most people don’t even recognize that their reality is conditioned by their thinking. And all they do is react to their mental conclusions.

In order to see these mental conclusions that generate self-hate and condemnation as contents of the mind, we must dis-identify from it. The practice that allows it to happen is meditation — the Awareness Practice.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AWARENESS PRACTICE.

Some say they don’t have time to meditate. It is because they don’t see the value in the practice yet to make it a priority.

There’s always possible to find five minutes that we are currently wasting and put it to good use. To choose it gets easier once we understand that our inner reality causes us the outer experience. The more we practice, the more we become aware of the beliefs and needs that our self-talk is expressing as interpretations of the present moment.

But beliefs are not a true reflection of the present moment, they are the conclusions made at some distance in the past, usually at a young age. When we were growing up we could have been told unskillfully with anger about mistakes we made or when our behavior did not fulfill requirements of our adult mentors. When we were not corrected with compassion but with irritation and anger, we internalized the dualistic judgments of ourselves and others.

With awareness practice we can see the frames of limiting beliefs and conditioned reactions of the past clearly and stop being driven by them and instead start quickly “growing up” into a present moment and making choices that are centered in consciousness and positive imagination.
From my experience and hearing it from others, we don’t eliminate feelings of fear or anxiety completely from our experience — it still might show up here and there. But with Awareness Practice we notice it much quicker being able to surround it with space and not to be consumed by or react to it.

Instead we see the inner language clearly that indicates to us our hidden beliefs, which veracity we can investigate and change. And we become better at choosing in each present moment at the crossroads of directions.

Making Gold Off A Negative Experience.

Published on September 25, 2014September 26, 2014 by Anatoly Petrenko

We are conditioned to think that experiencing something negative is wrong for us. It seem only natural when we have a negative experience in our life, we immediately rush to mask or eliminate it as soon as possible in order to get to the sweet spot of happiness. We might think that it is something profoundly wrong with us having a negative experience. Armed with this conditioned perspective that life is happening to us from the outside, it is easy to fall victim to thinking that we are just unlucky and we have no choice.

Negative Experience is A Catalyst for Change.

When we don’t see or understand that we are constantly participating, even passively in the making of the experience of our life, we have no choice but to feel powerless to change. We accept the view that we have no options of how to change our reality and something else is in charge of what is happening to us. When we avoid taking responsibility for our experience, we avoid the opportunity to change the results.

When we look with more attention and accept responsibility for our experience of outcomes and circumstances, we begin to see the positive meaning in that negative experience we are having. We begin to see that a negative experience is an absolute catalyst for us to have in order to move forward. It is a sign that is calling our attention to change how we think, to change how we feel and to change how we act. It is a revelation of an opportunity.

As we think of it, we shape our mind with thoughts every moment. We can’t stop our thinking — it is the essence of consciousness. Thoughts arise and fall continuously like a stream of water. However these thoughts have little or no effect whatsoever on the space of our mind. But those that we attach our awareness to with either attraction or repulsion set the corresponding pattern on and thus determine the quality of our mind. We live in our mind. It could be a big news to many of us, but it is the fact — whatever we conceive on a mental field of the mind, at some point we begin to transit it into “self-talk”, convincing ourselves of its veracity. As we think we begin to experience emotions and based on them we are prompted to act physically.
Yet for most people this process appears only outwardly directed. The truth is though that it takes in a space of OUR mind and therefore we are the first ones to have a serving of our concoction. As a result when we feel unpleasant, we project it onto someone or something only to exacerbate negative emotions.

Our attention can invoke out awareness to guard our choice.
As we can deduce, our choice (intention) is the cause that magnetizes outer conditions to bring out experiential or phenomenal results.

Traveling to India

Published on May 26, 2014June 1, 2014 by Anatoly Petrenko

I am very attuned to the others influences. It ranges from interactions with closed ones in daily life and a wider flow of socio-cultural messages as a context in which my life is. Therefore I like to travel to deeply know my own consciousness and understand others.

Therefore we go on travel meaningfully, it invisibly serves us in many ways changing the depth and freshness of how we connect to our own experience and of others.

For me traveling is a very meditative process, where I can see life as appearances of meaning coming and going. It is like a meditation cave from where many unexpected insights and inner breakthroughs begin to glow. It is also a healing method of putting my house where I live — my mind in order. Re-arrange and inventory the contents and let go of everything that clutters and obscures the space — that equilibrium called happiness.

In a few days I will be on the plane flying to Ladakh, Northern India — the high altitude area next to Jammu Kashmir. My mother just passed away over a week ago and this will be an opportunity to work with a loss of mother.
