how do you practice awareness?

[regnauld]

---

a practice in awareness:

everytime you pass through a door, ask yourself "where am i?"

Are you in Istorya?

[bluedes]

^^ "presence of mind"

^^am i? or maybe this is not real. let me do a little jump just to prove i'm not in a dream/astral

from an awareness diary:

the girl in the jeepney

i was sitting opposite this girl. one could describe her as average looking. but for a couple of heartbeats, i found her face so fascinating, such beauty, such symmetry. it is like seeing a rainbow for the first time. i had to look away because i didn't want to make her uncomfortable with my stare. when i looked back, her face became ordinary.

They asked the master Bokujo: “Do we have to dress and eat daily? How could we escape
from this?”

The master replied: “We eat, we get dressed.”

“I do not comprehend,” said the disciple.

“Then get dressed and eat,” said the master.

This is precisely action free of the opposites: Do we eat, do we get dressed? Why make a
problem of that? Why think of other things while we are eating and getting dressed?

If you are eating, eat; if you are getting dressed, get dressed and if you are walking on the street,
walk, walk, walk, but do not think of something else, do only what you are doing, do not run
away from facts, do not fill them with so many meanings, symbols, sermons and warnings.
Live them without allegories, live them with a receptive mind from instant to instant.

Comprehend that I am talking to you about the path of action, free of the painful battle of the
opposites.

Action without distractions, without evasions, without fantasies, without abstractions of any
kind.

Practicing the Power of Now:by Eckhart Tolle

Freeing Yourself from Your Mind

The good news is that you can free yourself from your mind. This is the only true liberation. You can take the first step right now.

START LISTENING TO THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD as often as you can. Pay particular attention to any repetitive thought patterns, those old audiotapes that have been playing in your head perhaps for many years.

This is what I mean by "watching the thinker," which is another way of saying: Listen to the voice in your head, be there as the witnessing presence.

When you listen to that voice, listen to it impartially. That is to say, do not judge. Do not judge or condemn what you hear, for doing so would mean that the same voice has come in again through the back door. You'll soon realize: There is the voice, and here I am listening to it, watching it. This I am realization, this sense of your own presence, is not a thought. It arises from beyond the mind.

So when you listen to a thought, you are aware not only of the thought but also of yourself as the witness of the thought. A new dimension of consciousness has come in.
