This article was originally published in a much shorter form from: Notes From The Universe. I received more insight, so I thought I'd update as an article.

We have power over our focus. We can move our focus wherever we want. Focusing beyond the usual programing of thoughts, emotions and feelings is like changing the channel to a higher universal experience that is readily available through awareness, but is drowned out by our ego sense of self.

Change the station:


How to change the channel
The Universe is all in our consciousness to tune in. Here is one way I have found to change the channel.

Relax
Physically and mentally relax the body. Surrender to the moment

Release
Let go of all thoughts and tensions in the moment

Relax and Release are the first two important keys to surrendering to the moment. This works at first and then 'things' such as emotions and feelings may start to rise. Just let those 'things' come up. This is a good opportunity to watch from your Higher Self/Awareness perspective. This takes diligence and practice. I walked away from it for a while and then reincorporated it. So like any exercise it takes time to integrate. Your experience may vary.

Remember
If you practiced allowing who you really are, Light/Love/Source energy and have felt this, and you can in those moments of release, then Remember who you are in the moment.

Rest
Be in the peace and contentment in the moment.

Repeat as needed
Moments are obviously, well, moment to moment. Again, practice and incorporation is necessary to awakening to your true self or what I like to call reality. Feel that subtle at the beginning energy while doing this. Opening of the larger universe that is at your disposal into your life beyond the thoughts, feelings and emotions is RIGHT HERE.

Focus is the key. We have power over our focus. Change the channel.

Here is an illustration I put together. Feel free to print as a reminder if that helps.
