Practice of Presence

Eckhart Tolle discusses with a live audience one of his key
spiritual teachings: the Practice of Presence. He says presence
arises when we free ourselves of incessant thinking and
unconscious reactivity, rolling back the ego, so our essential
self can shine through. He asks the audience if they’ve reached a
stage in in their own spiritual evolution if they can choose to
be free of thinking without exerting will power. He says as we
become more adept, it’s possible to stay fully present through
all of life’s ups and downs. Eventually, we learn to lead a more
awakened life.
