On Practice of Directly engaging with experience bypassing the mind

Read a few lines from Ekhardt Tolle and it provided a help to work with emotions.

Emotions can be experienced in the body so one can bring direct experience of awareness with the emotions through the body. This also prevents self image based emotional experiecing of joy and sorrow that gives a "personal" experience as against the objective experience.

I have seen that even mental activities like typing right now can be done directly through awarness and bypass the intellectual centre . The awarness gives you impulses of ideas so one does not have to go to the intellectual centre.
I have to practice more and more speaking directly through awareness and listening directly without personality.

But the most valuable thing from what was received from Ekhardt Tolle was that this state of being in the IAM is a simple state which is our default state. We make a such a big deal about enlightenment but it is infact a normal state and not to be considered a big achievement - which was creating issues for me. I should remain simple and normal about it because it is so.
