Living a Life of Presence
Each month we will highlight a teaching or practice from Eckhart's featured talk. We encourage you to join us in focusing on this practice for the month. |
| “Thoughtless perception” is a practice that Eckhart advises in our featured talk for the month. ”Thoughtless” in this context is a positive term, explains Eckhart, implying a conscious connectedness with that which you are perceiving visually. This month, make it your daily practice to take in your visual surroundings without the need to overlay mental projections. See if you can sense the essence of the objects in your visual field, letting go of the mind's tendency to identify with labels. As Eckhart teaches, when we look at things in this way it has extraordinary effects in terms of both our in-the-moment experience, our interpersonal relationships, and much more. For it is by bringing more consciousness into the world that we fulfill our ultimate purpose in life. |
