| In the classical work The Art of Living, Epictetus wrote, "You become what you give your attention to." An avid reader of the famed Stoic philosopher, Eckhart Tolle often cites the teachings of Epictetus—which echo many of his own. This particular gem of wisdom is at the heart of Doorways into Presence. |
|
| With his new online course, Eckhart shares 14 daily practices to help you shift your attention from the relentless activity of the mind to the deeper awareness of Presence. |
|
This progressive, 7-week training brings you: 🗓️ Week 1:
Opening Practices Eckhart illuminates the need in our times for a collective awakening of consciousness, then presents two foundational practices: "Sitting Quietly" and "Awareness of Objects." 🗓️ Week 2:
Bringing Presence to Daily Activities A powerful habit of the mind is to reduce the present moment to a means to an end. In week two, Eckhart shares three practices to overcome this tendency: "Performing an Action Consciously," "Present Moment Awareness," and "Enjoy Your Drink Consciously." 🗓️ Week 3:
Interacting with Nature Eckhart has a special gift for helping us lift "the veil of concepts" in order to connect with our surroundings in a deeper way. In week three, he teaches you two delightfully enjoyable practices: "Presence with Animals" and "Connecting with Nature." 🗓️ Week 4:
Getting Out of Your Mind Experience Eckhart's approach to two classic meditation practices for stepping out of thinking and into Presence: "Breath Awareness" and "Awareness of Sounds and Silence." 🗓️ Week 5:
Discovering Your Identity Beyond the Physical The ego is not bad. But our lives become dysfunctional if we only know ourselves as "a story in the head." In week five, Eckhart leads you in Ramana Maharshi's revered inquiry, "Contemplating 'Who Am I?,'" followed by his own signature practice, "Inner-Body Awareness." 🗓️ Week 6:
Expanding Consciousness and Sharing Presence Majestic horizons and star-filled skies evoke awe for a simple reason: they stop the mind in its tracks. Here, Eckhart guides you in "Contemplating the Sky" and "Silent Transmission"—an advanced practice for sharing Presence through words, touch, or the eyes. 🗓️ Week 7:
Keeping the Doorways Open Take part in a centuries-old, worldwide practice with "Candle Flame Meditation," a peaceful way to rest in the stillness of the present moment. |
