The first thing is to be aware of the physical body. With whatever small action the body performs remembering is absolutely necessary. There should be mindfulness with all that we do. If we begin to do all our physical acts with full awareness, then the identification with the physical becomes broken. If your lift one hand upward with full attention you will feel yourself apart from the hand – because the one who lifts is different from that which is lifted. The feeling of being apart from the physical body is the beginning of the awareness of the etheric body.
