Executive Lounge Conversation

Description

Our conversation will focus on the power of presence, taking some insights from the book – The Power of Now by Eckart Tolle.

We’ll consider that every minute you spend worrying about the future or regretting the past is a minute lost, because really all you have to live in is the present, the now, the past if gone and it can’t be changed, the future is unknown.

Eckhart tells us that the greatest obstacle to experiencing reality is the identification with the mind, believing that you are your thoughts. It creates concepts, labels, images, words, judgements and definitions which block your relationship with the now, in fact with yourself. The mind is a superb instrument if used correctly, if one can be the observer and take a step back.

If the egoic mind dominates – the mind uses you. And again, even worse, if you are unaware of this, if the mind is using you and you don’t even know it, you become it’s slave.

How do we get freedom around our thoughts and become more peaceful in our everyday lives, both in our workplaces and in our personal lives?
And what impact would that have?

Come and join the conversation, experience some gentle mediations, and spend some time looking at things differently.
