| Eckhart Tolle's new online course, Doorways into Presence, is filled with daily exercises (14 of them!) that can immediately expand your awareness and spark a more vital sense of aliveness. |
|
| And as you might expect, woven throughout each of these practices are some of Eckhart's most inspiring insights. Today, we're writing to share 10 of them! With Doorways into Presence, you'll immerse yourself in this deep wisdom over seven weeks of training and guidance. |

"Become aware of space within and without… that's the essence of all spirituality." {from Practice #1, "Sitting Quietly"}
"There's more than what sensory perception tells you… there is a dimension in every object that goes beyond what you can perceive with your senses." {from Practice #2, "Awareness of Objects"}
"To give attention to an animal like a dog is a way of coming into the present moment and becoming free of the ego." {From Practice #6, "Presence with Animals"}
"Everything is ultimately mysterious and deep, but when you mistake a concept or a sequence of sounds for what it is, then the world is no longer deep… and it loses its aliveness." {from Practice #7, "Connecting with Nature"}
"To be aware of your breath reduces the amount of thinking you do. You take consciousness away from what it is usually absorbed by, which is the stream of thinking." {from Practice #8, "Breath Awareness"}
"The moment you notice silence, your mind becomes still." {from Practice #9, "Awareness of Sounds and Silence"}
"'Who am I?' is a question that is designed to take you deeper than the mind, deeper than the identity that is derived from mental-emotional movements, the personality." {from Practice #10, "Contemplating 'Who Am I?'"}
"Inner-body awareness is one of the most important practices for becoming free of being trapped in the largely unconscious thought processes that most people are burdened by." {from Practice #11, "Inner-Body Awareness"}
"The best meditation objects are not objects at all." {from Practice #12, "Contemplating the Sky"}
"The light of this flame symbolizes the light of consciousness… there are few things in the world more peaceful." {from Practice #14, "Candle Flame Meditation"} |
