Ascension
There is a place where much information resides, always. One can go there at one's own convenience, partake unlimitedly as one desires. If you cannot find the way, I know a path and will share it with you. Bon voyage on your journey.

Ishayas' Ascension is a set of techniques that dissolve stress and expand consciousness. Some people consider it a meditation method.
It is based on Praise, Gratitude, and Love It is SIMPLE and NATURAL.
It works WITH thoughts, rather than trying to push thoughts out.
It has created space in my life.

It is completely portable. There is no need to get into a particular position, quiet space, listen to any particular music or guided meditation, be in a group or be alone, have incense, or anything other than the way you are RIGHT NOW. No belief is required. There is no need to feel a certain way before, during, or after thinking these beautiful thoughts we call Ascension Attitudes. It is practiced with eyes open and eyes closed.

It meets you wherever you are:
-
anywhere between never having recognized the Peace that Doesn't Change to having your attention on Innocence all the time;
-
anywhere from never working at all (some call this lazy) to working hard at everything even breathing correctly (maybe 'Type A'?);
-
anywhere from being POLITE all the time (and maybe resenting it!) to always saying exactly what is on your mind (and others saying you are mean or rude).
I especially like that Ascension works for me in whatever state I'm in and at any given time, because the experience of life is always changing.
I often wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning. This used to cause stress. Ascension produces deeper rest than sleep, so now I just Ascend during those wee hours of the morning. This releases a lot of stored stress from the nervous system!
What happens when these Ascension techniques are learned and practiced?
In my experience, Ascension has made life comfortable. Not necessarily physical comfort or financial comfort, though I don't feel uncomfortable in either of those domains. But comfortable in my thoughts and emotions and in my skin. I used to suppress anger and joy and sadness and excitement and love, because I was afraid to feel them.

Now I am comfortable experiencing the natural life-cycle of my emotions. I spend much less effort resisting what is naturally happening. This often includes emotions, and thoughts. Sometimes lots of thoughts are called Monkey Mind. Thinking is just naturally what the mind does. And I am comfortable with that now. Anytime I notice something - usually a thought - I can think an Ascension Attitude and see the Beauty that Life IS.
I am now comfortable living in my skin and experiencing Life, in all it's Lightness and pockets of darkness, and everything in between. The experience of Life constantly changes, and I can be comfortable in that now. There is space in my life now for what is truly important to me.
And how does the world LOOK being comfortable in my thoughts, emotions, and skin? More Joy, Less Stress. I notice opportunities that define serendipity, and am comfortable experiencing them. I feel causeless joy often. I find beauty in relationships - with family, friends, acquaintances, and even strangers. When something comes along that I perceive as 'bad', it catches my attention and I think an Ascension Attitude. I almost always recognize later that what I thought was 'bad' was actually compassion and produced what I perceive as 'good'. I find that I do things out of Love now, rather than because I 'have' to or 'should'. It is a Beautiful state of Being!
