A short guided morning practice by Eckhart Tolle encouraging listeners to spend five minutes in pure presence upon waking. The speaker instructs sensing presence throughout the body (the "energy field"), delaying habitual actions like reaching for a phone, and letting presence precede becoming a separate "person."
When you wake up in the morning, give yourself five minutes of pure presence. Be present in your entire energy field, every cell of the body. And you lie on your back and you sense just not you can be a person. Once you get up out of bed, you start becoming a person. But. But while you're still there, be the presence. So there's nothing to think about. There's only sensing presence pervading your entire energy field, being it. Beautiful day. Way to start the day. Resist the temptation of reaching for your phone. Sam.
