[ # ] The Silent Watcher
January 28th, 2008 under Adult Invisibility

My friend and fellow coach, Kelli Cotner, sends her email contact list a Daily Insight. I always look forward to it, because the message is usually brief, simple, and relevant.

Today’s daily insight comes from Eckhart Tolle:

“Be present as the watcher of your mind — of your thoughts and emotions as well as your reactions in various situations.  Be at least as interested in your reactions as in the situation or person that causes you to react.  Notice also how often your attention is in the past or future.  Don’t judge or analyze what you observe.  Watch the thought, feel the emotion, observe the reaction.  Don’t make a personal problem out of them.  You will then feel something more powerful than any of those things that you observe: the still, observing presence itself behind the content of your mind, the silent watcher.”

How does this relate to visibility or invisibility? What does this quote bring up for you? What are you willing to do differently? I invite you to post your thoughts in the Comments area.
