Long explanation:

'~하여 [hayeo]' is a connective ending used in Korean to link two or more actions, often with the meaning of 'and' or 'by doing' in English. It is also used to indicate the process or method of doing something. This phrase lets you connect two clauses in a way that describes, in the second clause, what happens as a result of the first clause.
