Use an analogy. Take fire for example. Fire is a phenomenon that exists when the proper conditions are met. You need to have fuel, heat, and oxygen, at least. These elements are both the causes and conditions for fire. Take one away and fire cannot arise. This is basically how Dependent Arising works. The Buddha used this model of Dependent Arising to explain the arising and cessation of Dukkha, or existential suffering. He explained the causes and conditions that give rise to ignorance and explained that removing the causes prevents suffering from arising. Dependent Arising actually underlies every one of the Buddha's teachings, from karma to enlightenment. The basic framework is this: When this is, That is. From the arising of this, This arises. When this isn't, That isn't. From the cessation of this, That ceases. This demonstrates that conditionality can be both a previous and concurrent cause for the existence of a particular phenomena. It's basic cause and effect taken to a deeper level. Other teachings on Dependent Arising (known also as Emptiness) explain that because all things depend on other things for their existence, they must not possess any real or permanent substance or self-nature. This teaching, when applied to ones ego, leads to the anatta, or no self, doctrine of Buddhism. These later teachings go on to say that not only are phenomena caused by a few select conditions, but ultimately all conditions. Everything is mutually-dependent on everything else. This view radically dissolves the conventional distinctions we make between ourselves and the objects of our experience. This is why emptiness is the pinnacle of wisdom. Dependent arising is also the basis for compassionate action. If we are all mutually-dependent, whatever harm I bring to you, I bring also to myself. This provides the motivation to treat others with lovingkindess, compassion, sympathy, and impartiality. Hopefully you can now appreciate the Buddha when he says, "He who sees dependent arising sees the Dharma; he who sees the Dharma sees dependent arising."

Via mindfulness you begin to apprehend the emptiness of things, without attachments or aversions. That is, if you practice regularly.

Easy you are using you senses to feel the world and you are aware of what you are doing. If your hungry eat, don't think about eating.
