Easwaran on One-Pointed Attention

In June, we shared the first half of a talk that Easwaran gave in 1991 on the benefits of training the mind. This week, we’re eager to share the second half! We really enjoyed Easwaran’s practical examples of how we can work on one-pointed attention in our everyday lives. Whether it’s during mealtimes, or running errands at the post office, Easwaran highlights how slowing down and one-pointed attention can benefit not only ourselves but all of those around us. 

We think this portion of the talk works well on its own, by the way, though you’re welcome to go back and listen to the first half if you’d like to do so.

We’d love to hear from you – what are examples of where you work on training your mind throughout the day? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
