<\/a><\/p>\nEckhart Tolle tells us:\u2028\u201cDirect your attention into the body. Sense it from within. Is it alive? Is there life in your hands, arms, legs and feet- in your abdomen, your chest? Can you feel the subtle energy field that pervades the entire body and gives vibrant life to every organ and every cell? Can you feel it simultaneously in all parts of the body\u2028as a single field of energy?
\nIf you keep your attention in the body as much as possible, you will be anchored in the Now. You wont loose yourself in the external world, and you wont loose yourself in your mind.Thoughts and emotions, fears and desires may still be there to some extent, but they won\u2019t take you over Please examine where your attention is at this moment….\u2028Do not give all your attention away to the mind and the external world. By all means focus on what you are doing, but feel the inner body\u2028at the same time whenever possible. Stay rooted within.
\nThen observe how this changes your state of consciousness and the quality of what you are doing… so when challenges come, as they always do, make it a habit to go within at once and focus as much as you can on the inner energy field of the body. Do it the moment the challenge presents itself. Any delay will allow a conditioned mental emotional reaction to arise and take you over. When you focus within and feel the inner body, you immediately become still and present as you are withdrawing consciousness from the mind .The response will come from this deeper level. And there is infinitely more intelligence\u2028in Being than in your mind\u201d\u2028Then queuing up in the supermarket or being stuck in the traffic jam can even be enjoyable! Go more deeply in the Now, go more deeply in the body.<\/p>\n

THE INNER BODY Aaaah…Summer…. An avalanche of body sensations…. The sun on the skin (unless it is a mosquito), the smell of a fresh breeze, a juicy peach flowing down the throat, the chattering of insects…. and more opportunities to move, swim, run, and feel in harmony with nature Eckhart Tolle tells us:\u2028\u201cDirect your attention […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gurdjieff-dances.com\/ruru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gurdjieff-dances.com\/ruru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gurdjieff-dances.com\/ruru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gurdjieff-dances.com\/ruru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gurdjieff-dances.com\/ruru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gurdjieff-dances.com\/ruru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":168,"href":"https:\/\/www.gurdjieff-dances.com\/ruru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166\/revisions\/168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gurdjieff-dances.com\/ruru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gurdjieff-dances.com\/ruru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gurdjieff-dances.com\/ruru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
