Easy Technique for Cultivating Presence: Breath Awareness | Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle shares a simple yet transformative practice for cultivating presence: awareness of breath. He explains how consciously following your breath can help reduce unnecessary thinking and create a gap in your stream of thoughts, allowing presence to arise. Eckhart also delves into the closely related practice of inner body awareness, which deepens your sense of presence and connects you to the aliveness within.

Geez…a few moments with Eckhart and I’m smiling again. “ the narrative in your head is not your life”. Thank you for that. ♥️

I've been listening to Eckhart for 15 years. I cannot say how many hundreds of times he's pulled me up out of fear and turmoil. I think he's our modern day savior sent by the one intelligence or God
