They do get less in the way. Actually, with a good understanding, you can see that the small lights just become more important because of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meditation is looking directly at the underlying glow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to a greater or lesser extent, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot force this.&nbsp;You can invite it\u2026 and that&#8217;s what AURELIS is: an invitation to look at the underlying glow, based on a &#8216;preset&#8217; from the deeper self (a symptom, a goal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An AURELIS effect may therefore also be used to go to meditation. Please note: Of course, this does not make you <em>enter<\/em> meditation. You can prepare meditation. You can invite it. You can support it. You can&#8217;t pull it towards you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An orientation to the underlying glow and not to the lights themselves, in any way, is already an excellent start. You can let the underlying glow \u2018attract you so that the lights become less and less important anyway (during the meditation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So AURELIS has a lot to do with &#8216;mindfulness&#8217; in the second sense of the word.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you understand it well, AURELIS&nbsp;<em>IS&nbsp;<\/em>this second form of &#8216;mindfulness.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s &#8216;mindfulness&#8217; often does not clearly distinguish, or it is mainly or even wholly situated in the first meaning.&nbsp;The lack of clarity and the blending into one another mentioned above make it difficult to speak unambiguously about mindfulness in general.<\/p>\n<div data-object_id=\"7663\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkwrap cbxwpbkmarkwrap_no_cat cbxwpbkmarkwrap-post \"><a  data-redirect-url=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7663\"  data-display-label=\"0\" data-show-count=\"0\" data-bookmark-label=\" \"  data-bookmarked-label=\" \"  data-loggedin=\"0\" data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"7663\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig  cbxwpbkmarktrig-button-addto\" title=\"Bookmark This\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig-label\"  style=\"display:none;\" > <\/span><\/a> <div  data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"7663\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap\" id=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap-7663\"><div class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguest-message\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguesttrig_close\"><\/a><h3 class=\"cbxwpbookmark-title cbxwpbookmark-title-login\">Please login to bookmark<\/h3>\n\t\t<form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7663\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One can understand &#8216;mindfulness&#8217;
