Finding the Place of Peace

Be aware of the full spectrum of experience, without preference or aversion for any aspect. Instead of being aware of the content of experience, be aware of being. Come back to yourself – to the simple fact of being – by softening the focus of attention. We don’t go towards being, we sink back into it. Meister Eckhart said there is a place in the soul that has never been wounded – our essential being – that lies in the background but also shines in all experience – the place of peace. Whatever we experience, we are present. Normally the intensity of experience obscures our being. In meditation, we emphasise being at the expense of experience. In everyday life, we emphasise experience at the expense of being. We turn away from experience to recognise our being, and then turn back towards experience and remain in touch with being rather than allow experience to take us away from our self.
