Lately I've noticed some misunderstanding about Practicing Presence, which is being present, feeling not thinking. Many still mistake experience to be intense resistance to dramas, stuck in the mechanical mind endless loop replay of either seething resentment or yearning for a past experience deemed positive. Eckhart Tolle coined the phrase "Practicing Presence" because it's a continuous practice, a refinement of an art, you don't just do it once & that's the end of egoic mind. It's the continuous monitoring of mental space and switching that off to feel and experience without judgement. In the beginning we may do this thousands of times a day but with practice we live more in feeling and less in thinking. So why bother? Only by sensing/feeling are we ALIVE, connected to Divine Source awareness.
