Connecting with the inner body & Pure Consciousness. Anyone into this?

[Alex2007]

Hi Guys. I need your knowledge!

It looks that there is a kind of meditation out there that guides you towards a complete consciousness experience that originates from a connection with the inner body .

Eckward Tolle, in his audio program "The Power of now" suggests that when you feel your inner body as a single field of energy, then drop from your mind the image of the body and then open your eyes, you experience an intense connection with the "watcher" and an intense feeling of pure consciousness.

Anyone knows more about this phenomenon and other Audio programs that explain/meditate with it?

Thanks
Alex

Here are a couple of free resources. My personal favorite is the five minute joining exercise as proposed by Gary Renard in one of his books on A Course in Miracles. It is on all of his tapes and it is lovely. The biggest issue is always getting one's personal sense of self out of the way.

All spiritual traditions will lead you to this experience if you ask for it within your heart. IMHO, what you are asking for is an interaction with your Higher Self; the Self beyond that which you think you are, and your creator (which you will find there). You find love there too; true unconditional love in these experiences.

One thing to remember is that whatever spiritual dogma, whatever religious tradition a person is raised in, colors their interpretation of the meaning of these experiences. Don't take anyone's interpretation as gospel. Tend to the experience, and let your heart help you find the 'right' interpretation for you. It you find a tradition that works for you, stick with it; but if something about it troubles you in your heart (not your mind or ego, your heart) tread carefully.

One member of this board suggesting listening to Eckhart Tolle's CDs over and over again to find this thexperience . . . . there are many paths to where you want to go. Your best guide is that still small voice within you; it will never leave you, and it is there to guide you on this path. Follow your path, listen to your heart, attend to the path that resonnates for you.

The first step is desire; and you have that.

All the best to you, Belle

A really good complement to the mainstream Eckhart Tolle material are some of his less known audio material.

A really good one I found was: Gateways to living in the NOW (mp3)

This one explains in detail about three gateways to living in the now.

1. Being in your inner body
2. Being aware of the silence behind sound and the silence in between the gaps.
3. Surrendering to the moment.

And the first one, the one that is relevant to this thread - Tolle explains that it is really simple. And it is. All you have to do is be aware of all the cells in your body. Having your attention in the body will take attention from the incessant stream of thoughts in your mind which will help you become more in the Now than if you were disconnected all the time when you were in the head.
