TOOLS OF CONSCIOUSNESS (TOC)

Two of the world’s most sought-after spiritual teachers, Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle agree that the first step to raising your consciousness so that you can transcend any struggle – big or small – is to simply practice finding presence in every moment.

Focusing on this moment right now prevents the mind from drifting to wants, needs, fears, anxieties, and all of the other suffering caused by the ego-mind in search of attachment.

Most of us don’t know how to break challenging life experiences down into the present moment, but everyone can learn. In fact, there’s a short exercise from Eckhart Tolle in this very email that will get you started.

Try this tonight:

1. Think of a to-do on your list. Something that’s tedious or seems trivial is ideal . . . like washing your hands or walking the dog. It could be something you usually do unconsciously, just going through the motions to get it over with . . . like packing your kids’ lunches or mowing the lawn.
2. Decide to do it fully. Doing something fully means giving it your full attention and doing it happily. By never doing anything unwillingly, you become internally aligned with the external activity instead of there being a conflict.
3. Engage all your senses. Smell the grass you’re cutting, feel the wind blow against you as you go, see the trees around you, listen to the lawnmower.

It may not feel natural or make sense to you at first. But it will become second nature. And the more you bring those present moments into your life, the more your old conditioning (your tendency to worry, to become anxious, to feel depressed, or to engage in unhealthy behaviors) is released.

Practicing present moment awareness with simple items on your to-do list or small challenges in your everyday life retrains your mind and better prepares you to deal with problems of any size and nature. So eventually you can transcend them with ease.

Mastering the art of breaking down life into the present moment is just one important step in raising your level of consciousness to transcend any struggle that arises in your life or in the world – and let that struggle bring you to a greater understanding of who you are and why you’re really here.

If you want to continue to develop these new habits and raise your level of consciousness to transcend any struggle with ease – The Chopra Center’s newest online course, Awakening to Higher Consciousness: Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle Answer Life’s Biggest Questions,led by spiritual masters, Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle, will help you do it.
