In our featured talk for February, Eckhart discusses the importance of honoring the truth of impermanence. "When we become truly aware and accepting of the impermanent nature of all things," he explains, "we reach a place within where we can become aware of that which does not change." In this month's "Living a Life of Presence" practice, we invite you to make a conscious effort to contemplate the truth of impermanence in your own life. When we do this, Eckhart teaches, a great deepening of Presence can unfold, as we shift from unconscious attachment to things to a genuine recognition and appreciation of the gifts of each unique moment we experience. Inquire into your personal attachments and see where you might be deriving a sense of identity from your possessions or position, for example. See if you've been taking someone or something for granted, and how present-moment awareness can shift your experience. |
