My mind is always shoving dread and fear into my being and it’s debilitating at times, I fear everything, driving, grocery stores, crowds, airplanes. I am so tired of it, I don’t want to live in fear anymore I long to be free. I do try to mediate but sometimes the fear is so strong I can’t quiet it. Your teachings have already opened my eyes and my mind a lot. I never thought just focusing on my hands could have such a calming effect.
I've been there, I was so scared of everything, I will never forget that part of my life, The freedom that comes from not thinking or feeling this way is anymore is a huge blessing, it took a lot of work but we'll worth it I hope you get there sooner than excepted.
You’re gonna hear the opposite. As a guy with social anxiety and who had fear like you described, this universe guided me into the one career I liked but facing the fear of being screamed at and having extreme panic attacks. Long story short, the boss is a great man with teachings and experiences I saw and hand picked without him knowing he did that. Which is why I didnt quit. This path above was a choice, rewind back and the other choice was to keep questioning my fear a little more and that career can wait. its been 4 years now. Your journey about you may not be found in a career. What do you enjoy? What interests you? Go and do that. Doesnt have to be the one but that one thing you try first could lead to the one thing that bring purpose.
@@thetank971 yes so true! do the things you love too X nature walks, painting, poetry, music whatever it is for you X quite transforming and puts you in the presence of the moment 🙏💚🌠
Learn to get out of your automatic pilot or stream of thoughts, stop it first, make a pause, focus on your breath, be present, if it comes back focus again and voilà...
the funny thing is with awareness, the conditioned mind stays exactly where and how it is, but we keep kinda separate from it. And as we come back, it's right there, exactly where and how we left it. Over time, the steady presence will eventually tame the mind and this conditioning may subside, being replaced by another conditioning. But now it's a different conditioning, driven and built by awareness, by our insights and new realizations.
@@RogerioLupoArteCientifica Yes. It works for you and with you by design. Now. Remade. With work. Faster as well. Bit by bit. Better and better. Farther and farther. Like art. A masterpiece
Rogério Lupo You got it exactly right. I also suspect we can be aware of the conditioned mind and then take conscious and aware action to recondition our condition and recalibrate towards more positive, altruistic, beneficial and rational behaviour.
I did what you said by placing my attention in my hands and feet. I feel like laughing and i'm not too sure why. I just feel extremely happy right now and i've only been doing this for 10+ minutes, it's crazy! Peace and love to everyone! 😀💛✌️
Shawn Lott , i believe that your happy because you have taken your attention off of your thoughts , you have clarity, a clear window to the world not smeared by thought.
So true, I still find myself experiencing it from time to time. It doesn't feel right, yet I'm always grateful having found back to awareness. Then I look back and am somehow shocked how "zombi-like" I had been going through half of the day.
You have been one of my heroes since I found you in 2005. You changed my life and I NOW help others find the Now. Thank you Eckhart for all you do for us ❤️🌎✌️😃
The ultimate key to remove fear from from your life is to become more present to the moment. Awareness transmutes fear into presence. When you truly connected to the moment as awareness of fear instead of unconsciously identifying with fear, it naturally fades away and turns into peace. Thank you as always Eckhart. Much Love. :)
Most of the time that fades away for me. My physical fears are often quite necessary though due to my job (Defense Dept crap). That’s the crux I bear. While most of the world’s fears are pointless, mine are real (well, real enough that any human being’s body would elicit a fear response in what I normally do). I guess acceptance is what I need to learn, as I’m not qualified to do anything else. Does acceptance not work at some point? My job requires me to experience some pretty horrific shit every day. Like knowing you’re going to be punched in the face every day at 9am (sometimes literally, by an object it even a gun). You’re never going to enjoy waking up, or even having breakfast. Because in 2 hours you’re going to half to endure pain, the likes that most people never experience... every day. Yes I know that perspective is everything. But if you see the shit I do everyday you’d be a pretty fucked up person. But I guess somebody has to do it. If not me than someone else.
Yes. The current scare showed me that the years of meditation were not futile. I'm not afraid. I watch the fear from outside but am not it. I am. Fear is a thought-pattern I chose not to identify with.
Well said, fear is fear of the unknown, when you are present and connected to a situation the unknown just vanish you access it with your sensations not your imagination which otherwise will amplify it.
Eckhart is a most humble worthy human being. Imagine if all humanity had his insight .. we would all be living in peace and harmony. His teachings are truly of another world.
Hé has dedicated himself to understanding thinking so that we may all live more aware and peaceful lives. Eckhart you have made of your life, the greatest gift for those who listen and learn. Heartfelt thanks.
I love how Eckhart explains everything so clearly and with a touch of gentle humor that makes me feel everything is okay, no matter how scary circumstances might seem to my reactive mind. And then he gives step-by-step guidance on how to be free of those fears.
"There is wonderful aliveness in your body" just as he says until the moment you die.Focusing on your body will work to distract you from worry but it is only temporary. He is teaching you a practice of death. Not one time did he mention love, as in perfect love casts out all fear not some fear but all fear and that is eternal.You can find this is the gospel of John.
I wish people to wake up ,mother nature is not evilish to this degree, we are not in the middle ages,si dirty to see new viruses arise every five years, it is a bioweapon manufactured virus and they dont give a damn to enslave us to their dark agenda to come,no panic but no submission please,the governments owe us non negociables explanations .
I went from near-suicidal depression to uneasy and sometimes feeling enlightened. It was my mind creating it all and this man taught me more about which buttons to push to guide it.
"One way of being present: Direct your attention into the inner energy field of your hands; hold it there; feel the inner aliveness in your hands; feel other parts of body at the same time & then the entire body ; aware of your breathing....." Thanks!!!
I began my awakening in 2015, learned about buddhism, the illusion of death , hinduism and now I understand I was being prepared to face this moment. Thank you God and spiritual guides like Mr. Tolle ,I am not afraid :))
I went for a walk around my neighbourhood today. It reminded me of when I was a kid before the internet, etc. We have a lot of lessons to learn from this situation and one of them is how spending too much time on-line really warps one’s perspective on things. It was a beautiful, peaceful sunny day, almost as if nature didn’t know her people were afraid. Very calming 🤗
Goldilocks yes, it's like that where I live too :) I wouldn't know anything was different unless I turn on the news!! It's just a little more quiet! Very beautiful.
Same. It's a strange paradox. Wonderful natural beauty and people becoming much more beautiful and awake from what I've seen, with terror, fear and financial and physical uncertainty lurking. Appreciating things. Each other.
Yes. I went for a drive....I'm lucky enough to live in the country anyway... and the quiet and beauty were amazing. Thankful that even though some are experiencing less work, their bodies are getting rest
Eckhart’s teachings around 6:20 are exactly what is taught In Hinduism. We are souls (atma) that are neither our body, mind or intellect. Those three are objects because we have awareness of our thoughts (such as fear etc) and the changing body etc.
Lol I just said almost the exact same thing. It’s an old Native American proverb. About two wolves. Alchemy I’m guessing is the root of both proverbs. I don’t know if you have ever looked into Alchemy and the hermetic principles. You may find it very interesting. The lessons of Mr Tolle and also Abraham Hicks... the movie the secret... once I studied the hermetic principles.... it was truly an awakening. Sorry I get excited when I see that someone is operating on the same frequency. I feel the need to reach out. So now I don’t hold back. I only want to help, and it is very possible you already have knowledge of these principles. I just don’t want you to think it’s a lecture lol written language can be read in the wrong vibration and misunderstood. Anyway thank you for your comment. I so relate to this!!! Have a great day and much peace to you and yours.
No. Your thoughts are not even yours. Having "good" thoughts implies judgement aka more thoughts. Also happiness is not the goal. It also implies judgement. Just take care of whatever happens. Stay calm, watch the thoughts that appear in your mind and drop them. Don't identify with the fear wave.
The simple truth, kindness and generosity in these videos is nothing short of grace. Your words have lifted me out of the darkness more times than I can count. The very sound of your voice instantly transforms me to calm. Thank you, dear man, from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
I’m going through a spiritual journey,feeling fear is the most Normal yet challenging thing in this journey I always come to this video when it gets to me this man gives me ultimate relief ❤️
It becomes a real madness to suffer for what not yet happened. Some call it sensitivity, inteligence, premonition, but it is only an endless source of suffering,that can't help anyone, when we could choose simply the joy of living
I wrote this in the stillness of this morning whilst listening to the birds... In the stillness of all this... Life carries on for the birds and bees, The wind still blows the leaves in the trees, The sky is clear with no white lines, When its cloudy and rains, the sun still shines, The birds still sing as the morning breaks, Awakening the world to what it takes, To live in harmony and reassess, What we need now to calm distress, To stop, consider, to be still, As we no longer have our free will, To do as we please and ignore, The the call of Earth, Seas & Shore, For rebalance rhythm and hear her heartbeat, Breaking through our chaos is no mean feat. So here we are having to be still, Here we are with no free will, Here we are having to find, Our own stillness in our body and mind, Whilst chaos and fear completely surrounds us, With the wrath of this invisible virus, Making us fight a war to breathe, Resourcing what matters to relieve, The pain and suffering we now receive, As we lose connection with ones we love, Some at a distance, some a forever above. Will we learn any lesson from this? Will we change to restore balance and bliss? Or will we return to the old days? Once this is over will we mend our ways? Will we open our hearts, ears and eyes? Will we feel the earth’s call and see her skies? Will we feel the vulnerable people’s pain? We we hear their voices and see once again? How the imbalances created in human-mind, Can take over and destroy humankind? We will stop more often to feel our feet, Connecting to the rhythm of the Earth’s Heartbeat? Will we stop more often to breathe and feel, Our own heartbeat as we stand still? In the stillness of night will we look at stars, Remind ourselves that this planet is ours? But only for our lifetime is it rent free, To treat as we will and with liberty, Until for granted as it appears we’ve taken, And we’re forced to lockdown to be awakened. Caroline Dawn Seyedi (31.3.2020)
Finally, you have surfaced to help the public. There are so many others that have been providing and sharing their wonderful and helpful information. You have a presence and impact on the public and people trust what you have to say. Thank you for your thoughts. Blessings
He's been here. He just didn't want to dip his toes into the inky black fear we all like to play in. It is possible to remove all judgement of others within this lifetime we are living out now. 📿
Finally? His teachings have been there for decades. The message is the same, be aware. Step outside your concepts and really be with life. This is not about coronavirus, this is for everything, so you can take any other video and it will be as useful as this one to face the particular current pandemic situation
Javier Cisternas exactly! When the corona pandemic hit, I immediately and automatically leaned into Eckharts' teachings that I have followed for years and years 🙏🏼❤️ he's been helping us prepare for this for decades.
This is 2nd public video in this global crisis and how wonderful that he has a platform to speak to millions, when once upon a time he only spoke to one person. True story 🙏
Fear is a mind game. If you live life and do right your at peace. Love one another, help each other and basically be a good human being. Life and death is not to fear but to be the best you can be til time comes for you. I’m at peace no matter what
I listened to The Power of Now back in the early 2000s and while it helped me, I never fully got it until my subtle body woke up 2 years ago. His teachings on feeling the energy body is something I don't hear enough of, especially in current non-dual teachers. As an empath, anchoring in the body while simultaneously moving through the pain body by allowing it to be there was the key for me. Without that felt presence it was possible to further delude myself through mental gymnastics thinking I arrived at a lofty state when really I was dissociating to one degree or another. Eckhart you are a legend. Your teachings are accessible yet profoundly deep. Thank you for your teachings and radiant peace during this time.
The NEW EARTH IS HERE 💜✨🌟🌎 Thank you so much for this message. We have to remember all of this is happening so that we can build a better place. ✨🌟 Do not buy into fear. If you see others around you buying into fear and feel like you are alone on this journey of spiritual awakening, I am here to support you because I know how hard it is. 🧞♂️ Come watch and laugh 😂 or don’t I still love you all 💛
This is brilliant, as per usual. Thank you for being the voice of reason in a world where the majority people pollute the earth with chaos. Whatever happens, if it even happens, you will handle it. Life is too short and too precious to be wasted on worrying; it doesn’t help and it doesn’t change a thing. 💕
That was exactly my sentiments, what Eckhart Tolle said about "forced Presence"... I feel like the frenzy, rushing, the fast way if life, has come to a halt. As if, a much needed rest has come to us! The other part being, we all feel closer & can support each other. 🙏🏽
‘And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.’ Matthew 8:26
Wish I was told this years ago. It utterly works.Lost Covert Narcissistic (Very High functioning), but it was there significantly to me. Its not normal to be schooled to raise narc siblings older, by putting the Children of Elder narcs through Private School . I was gaslit. Tat my expense . so I control the pain with ever greater control of thinking and understanding of the PAIN BODY controls using PRESENCE Its incredible how well this works.
Today at work at lunch, when I closed my eyes I wanted to relax a bit, but then the fear of the coronovirus completely seized me and I was very scared, very scared, since the panic started, I almost jumped up to run somewhere, but at some point I got together I "looked" that it was as if someone but not me were thinking these thoughts of fear, and suddenly it became incredibly easier. Of course this is not a coincidence that I did it on purpose. I would like this to happen always and everywhere. Lord, what freedom is it !!! Тhank you Ekhart Tolle!!!!
We're we on Planet Earth annoying the neighbours with our noise and pollution. No we were annoying Mother Earth. No self regulation, now we have no choice. Eckhart Tolle and his wisdom is what we need right NOW.
Words of wisdom, esp in these times. Thankyou. Let's accept this time of the Pandemic, as a time to reconnect to our "Inner " awareness, .."Power of Now'.
I've been helped so much by your books over the years, but your calming voice and attention to our needs right now is amazing and so needed. Thank you kind sir.
This is true, it took me approx 04 years to overcome my fear what he said I have lived it and have overcame my fear, my awareness was a different technique, prayers , my wife and looking to understand my conscious , i understood since I didn't lived in the moment So now I am appreciating the moment because my today step is my future , discipline is part of the tool also , now I am born again and loving myself
The animals are the Masters , They don't "need" anything. Theirs is the kindom of heaven. I feel that the animals deserve to have peace, and they will overcome our Insanity. if we don't have a major shift in consciouness these types of situations like pandemic , riots, all of the above are inevitable. I personaly have awakenned. I live in the gehtto and i have been to Prison and have witnessed the acute unconsciousnes, violence , murders and drug abuse first hand. now i throw the same seeds that Nature, Eckhart and Jesús are teaching me in hopes they take root and grow and i know they will. I stay in the moment , the future and the past are simply illussion. The aztec calendar ended Dec, 2012 maybe, hopefully they meant the end of unconsciousnes...The New Earth, Cuauhtemoczin...here and now for all eternity...
@@PrettyKittyCuddles keeping it there against it's will Might be the cause, human beings catch animals and put them in cages, tie them in the back yard or forcé them to stay indoors.. we use them as company or a form of entertainmeant , kinda like slavery... They where just fine before we got "lonely" ... Or "bored... Set the animals free .... Then it's one less thing You have to worry about ... A stressed out cat?
I am so happy this situation is happening. It is beautiful to see the power of the earth in turning it all off. This is an experience lots of us needed, so many of us do not know how to stop. Fear is a fantasy. It is different from fight and flight reaction. One is a normal physical reflex, the other is an invention of the mind. The body is a fantasy, money is a fantasy, sickness, every day life can be created and re created, death is not death, we think it is death but is actually a birth. You don't think the thinking happens to you, a creation of the mind. We have been kidnapped by the mind/ego.
The practice of feeling the energy in your hands, feet, whole body - as well as becoming conscious of your breathing - is a brilliant way to distract from unwanted thoughts. Thank You!
YES! I want to allow but ultimately let go of the belief or assumption that I need to worry. God I love this man. Freedom in knowing these things he discusses. Just sheer freedom. He is here to liberate us.
Fear can also help us to focus on the bright side of our being. Feeling your own body is a wonderful way to avoid negative thoughts. Thank you very much dear Eckhard Tolle!
It's almost like having an on call therapist. I've seen so many videos that he has pretty much covered everything I went to the therapist to discuss outside of a few very personal details, it all boils down to thoughts about past & future. The Q&As are also very good. The present is usually pretty safe. I've been in those negative thought loops, they drain but they are totally voluntary. Breathing (deep, belly breathing), relaxing the jaw, moving around slowly, then going out for a little while even just to the backyard in sun, helps. Each little effort makes the bigger effort a tiny bit easier. Your post was 2 years ago. What's the update? I first had his book in my hand maybe 40 years ago, did not get it then. It was given again in about 2006 or 2007, I still did not get it. Then it was presented again 2 years ago. I started getting it. : )
After listening to the two last videos I wish what this man called Eckhart Tolle is teaching to be taught all around the world and must be the first lesson in primary school and first program reminder in high school all the way to university! This teaching should be the first program to open radios and televisions all around the world. Because after all we are just the consciousness we are looking for outside! He is definately trying his best to show to humans how to be human and how to access that dimension called being by looking inward, letting breathing to happen by istself as it does and feeling the body. I will be glad to encounter him one day! I have never heard of Eckhart Tolle but I am so glad I discovered him! Thanks to the internet. Thank you Mr Tolle. ♥️♥️♥️
Awareness of my hand. I’m aware it’s there even though my eyes are closed. I can feel it. As a RN working with people who’ve lost a hand or arm or foot or even a leg. They could still remember and feel the pain of the area if it was traumatic need for amputation or if it disappeared from an accident dismembering. The ghost phantom was amazing to me. I was giving medications ordered for them to relieve the brain pain. I would love to have that conversation with you. I’m retired now. But that has always haunted me. I am aware that there would be therapeutic treatment for this condition especially with military traumatic medical amputated body parts. Thank you for your teaching. It has helped me focus and know how to focus and I’ve been able to survive extreme adverse conditions and release the PTSD.
@@rosemaryparker2567 it sounds crazy but awareness is not touched by the state of the body. A zen master once said dying on his bed: "everything is fine but my body is having trouble keeping up".
In my battle I have read and listened to all the well known people in this field of expertise. I'm so thankful I found help with them. But only Eckhart Tolle has brought me Peace ☮️🌟🙏
"there is a possibility for the awakening for many"...in this time. Eckhart, you got it. No fear, no worry, your guidance helped me along the way. THANK YOU!
We are “NOT” our thoughts 💭 .... when we are not aware of our thoughts, we let our thoughts control us. Control your thoughts or your thoughts will control you. Don’t be a slave to your thoughts, but a “Master”, be AWARE .... The Universe wanted to remind us that we are all connected. Peace ☮️ love 💖 prayers 🙏 and blessings to all reading this. We will get through this 💟
If the whole world would listen and understand ET it would be HEAVEN ON EARTH ! My deepest respects to this man, who has improved my life a 100% Thank you Thank you Thank you !!
Eckhart Tolle has an energetic Alchemy to him. I soak in a LOT of information. I even like to think. I like to grind things out in my mind about what's going on in the world right now. But whenever I let myself go back to Eckhart Tolle, especially the past few months, he is like some kind of nectar antidote to my entire being. I feel real Peace.
I've been doing a body scan (where I focus on each body part from head to toe/feel its energy) everyday when I wake up and when I go to bed for the past month - it has helped tremendously with focus, easing the pain in my mind, ruminating thoughts, meditation and peace. Taking control of your mind is a skill, and requires practice everyday to become strong, just like a muscle. I HIGHLY recommend making this a habit
Thank you, Eckhart! I have been doing mindfulness practices for almost three years. It has all felt very mechanical to me - like going through the motions without any meaning. Yesterday, I happened upon this video. As is often the case, I awoke in the middle of the night with my mind racing. I recognized that those thoughts were there, and then I remembered this video. I focused on my hands. I could feel the energy in my hands and the thoughts dissipated. For the first time I had a moment of peace and felt at ease, and was able to go back to sleep. While this may be elementary for many, it was a very big step for me. Thank you!
My son is in critical condition due to the coronavirus. He is on a ventilator. Because of the quarantine, I cannot be with him. Waves of sorrow encapsulate me and I am in a grief that I’ve never felt better. Eckhart’s voice and teachings are able to pull me out and back to the moment, of which he is still alive. Namaste dearest teacher 🙏
Eckhart, you communicate what many ancients, wisdom teachers, highly evolved thinkers, artists, and especially spiritual lights like Jesus and Buddha have expressed, in a way that is accessible to all of us if we are ready. For that I am deeply grateful.
This video is more magnificent than a painting on the wall! You have pointed my awareness to a completely different level with this one master! Like a bandage you patch me up to step back into the world with such hope. You have left me with a space more grandeur than this false cycle of fear I have been witnessing inside. This is exactly what is needed for me to wake up all over again. Thank you for helping me see more clearly. You are the hand I need to guide me through this. I am grateful. 🙏
In these hard times, we need people like Eckhart Tolle to give hope. They help us to stay calm and focus. And to find the way out of fear and suffering, we have to practice their teaching about Awakening. By becoming more awakened, we are proud to be part of the emergence of the Universal Consciousness.........Thank you..........Namaste 🙏.
Totally agree that this is exactly what we need. Not the illness, but the stillness and the stopness. We need a new way forward with less destruction that honors the natural world and the preciousness of life.
It was interesting to notice yesterday, when I went grocery shopping, that people started looking at each other( instead of constantly looking at their phones ) and becoming more polite, smiling more...Fear of not knowing what tomorrow brings makes them living in present moment?What do you think?
Ann Martin yes! And when I was in the supermarket last week, everyone seemed more aware! More present about touching things and keeping distances, very respectfully and patiently waiting for each other. Much smiling too :)
I had a very different experience. At store, at the register, man refused to give me a normal amount of space, much less the required 6ft. I politely asked him to back away. He looked at me and said, “fuck you”. People suck. There are many stories of this type of thing happening.
I have noticed this too. While I hear about rudeness and hoarding, etc I am only witnessing kindness and consideration. And I live in a "backward" county in Oregon.
"You cannot be aware of the inner body and at the same time think". Such simplicity offers so much peace.
💯
😊🌸👍
"Worry is the most destructive form of ineffective thinking" Somebody made this wise quote
Yes it can be so subtle, spiritual awakening can only happen as l focus on breathing and giving up control
I would say guilt is the one. I would suggest the world is literally a guilt trip.

Hé has dedicated himself to understanding thinking so that we may all live more aware and peaceful lives. Eckhart you have made of your life, the greatest gift for those who listen and learn. Heartfelt thanks.
Imagine if everyone could be that humble when they are as financially successfully & as popular as he is. There are not too many role models.
Thank you Eckhart. One of the greatest blessings in my life is that I came to this planet while you are also in it.🙏
I love how Eckhart explains everything so clearly and with a touch of gentle humor that makes me feel everything is okay, no matter how scary circumstances might seem to my reactive mind. And then he gives step-by-step guidance on how to be free of those fears.
I am kind of scared of getting sick, but I am actually grateful for this period of stillness.
"There is wonderful aliveness in your body" just as he says until the moment you die.Focusing on your body will work to distract you from worry but it is only temporary. He is teaching you a practice of death. Not one time did he mention love, as in perfect love casts out all fear not some fear but all fear and that is eternal.You can find this is the gospel of John.
A Bike ride has become pleasantly surreal experience.
I wish people to wake up ,mother nature is not evilish to this degree, we are not in the middle ages,si dirty to see new viruses arise every five years, it is a bioweapon manufactured virus and they dont give a damn to enslave us to their dark agenda to come,no panic but no submission please,the governments owe us non negociables explanations .
Don’t be scared of getting sick, the body can heal from anything. Check out Dr Joe Dispenza testimonials
Leelz247 affirm ‘I AM HEALTHY. I am grateful. Thank you’ when your thoughts are pure nothing can harm you.
We are blessed to have a being like Eckhart among us during this time in history 🙏🏽
This mans teaching have saved “my” life. And so grateful
and hopefully ego gets rekt
Olivier Ouimet lol
There you go! It feels really good as well
I went from near-suicidal depression to uneasy and sometimes feeling enlightened.
It was my mind creating it all and this man taught me more about which buttons to push to guide it.
Indeed, indeed. Have you ever listened to dr joe dispenza??He is also a good teacher and a healer.
"One way of being present: Direct your attention into the inner energy field of your hands; hold it there; feel the inner aliveness in your hands; feel other parts of body at the same time & then the entire body ; aware of your breathing....." Thanks!!!
Amidst all this madness we have the best 14mins and 1 second of clarity anywhere on any media plaftorm in this world.
Here here
Buddhists have been shouting from the hilltops (literally) throughout every crisis in history with this profundity. We need to listen.
I began my awakening in 2015, learned about buddhism, the illusion of death , hinduism and now I understand I was being prepared to face this moment. Thank you God and spiritual guides like Mr. Tolle ,I am not afraid :))
same wit me
I went for a walk around my neighbourhood today. It reminded me of when I was a kid before the internet, etc. We have a lot of lessons to learn from this situation and one of them is how spending too much time on-line really warps one’s perspective on things. It was a beautiful, peaceful sunny day, almost as if nature didn’t know her people were afraid. Very calming 🤗
Goldilocks yes, it's like that where I live too :) I wouldn't know anything was different unless I turn on the news!! It's just a little more quiet! Very beautiful.
Ditto here at the Alamo a lot of spiritual testing
Yes I had the same sort of experience. I too was reminded of years gone by when everything was simpler and slower.
Same. It's a strange paradox. Wonderful natural beauty and people becoming much more beautiful and awake from what I've seen, with terror, fear and financial and physical uncertainty lurking.
Appreciating things. Each other.
Yes. I went for a drive....I'm lucky enough to live in the country anyway...
and the quiet and beauty were amazing. Thankful that even though some are experiencing less work, their bodies are getting rest
Eckhart’s teachings around 6:20 are exactly what is taught In Hinduism. We are souls (atma) that are neither our body, mind or intellect. Those three are objects because we have awareness of our thoughts (such as fear etc) and the changing body etc.
Mr Tolle is a fine human being 👏 ✌️ 🕉 🌸 🇮🇪
Meister Tolle is a *divine human Being 👏🏾 ✌🏾 🕉️ 🌸 🇮🇳
We all can be a fine human being.. I think we are.
G K, he's also a very deceived man.
Sure is, Bro, he sure is.
Lorie Dyer what u mean?
"Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is". Old German Proverb
Love it! Thank you for sharing this wise proverb.
👍
Rikk Guidotti if we say that the beast is the virus.....My fear is where’s he at?
Lol I just said almost the exact same thing. It’s an old Native American proverb. About two wolves. Alchemy I’m guessing is the root of both proverbs. I don’t know if you have ever looked into Alchemy and the hermetic principles. You may find it very interesting. The lessons of Mr Tolle and also Abraham Hicks... the movie the secret... once I studied the hermetic principles.... it was truly an awakening. Sorry I get excited when I see that someone is operating on the same frequency. I feel the need to reach out. So now I don’t hold back. I only want to help, and it is very possible you already have knowledge of these principles. I just don’t want you to think it’s a lecture lol written language can be read in the wrong vibration and misunderstood. Anyway thank you for your comment. I so relate to this!!! Have a great day and much peace to you and yours.
"Your unhappiness is produced by the narratives in your mind" - Eckhart Tolle
It is a blessed time even though it's hard, and we'll see the blessings unfold when we can be together again.
Andrea R I tend to believe that also.
Andrea R I hope so. Love 💗 and peace
Yes, love and peace :) ♡
Andrea R agreed
You've said the truth, sir 🙏💞✨
"Your unhappiness is produced by the narratives in your mind"
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.” ― Marcus Aurelius ✨
Andreas Rydell - Vlogs & Self Development you can have the most negative thoughts possible yet you, awareness are not affected by them.
Andreas Rydell - Vlogs & Self Development yes! Woo hoo ❤️
Free Flow thoughts are things so don’t dwell too much on negative thoughts. All thoughts are creative.
happiness is non thinking
No. Your thoughts are not even yours. Having "good" thoughts implies judgement aka more thoughts.
Also happiness is not the goal. It also implies judgement. Just take care of whatever happens.
Stay calm, watch the thoughts that appear in your mind and drop them. Don't identify with the fear wave.
The simple truth, kindness and generosity in these videos is nothing short of grace. Your words have lifted me out of the darkness more times than I can count. The very sound of your voice instantly transforms me to calm. Thank you, dear man, from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
With the power of my presence I can overcome these times! Alhamdulillah
this message should be on television prime time a serie of messages so that lots of people see this now and later
I try to watch Eckhart in the evening. He leads me to a deep peaceful sleep. BENDIGEDIG!
Wonderful in deed!
His voice and tone is actually extremely relaxing for me too 😴
I’m going through a spiritual journey,feeling fear is the most Normal yet challenging thing in this journey I always come to this video when it gets to me this man gives me ultimate relief ❤️
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear," 1 John 4:18
Amen. It is knowing his perfect love for us and showing it to others.
Yes, the two greatest commandments! To Love God heart, mind and soul, and to love our neighbour as ourselves, Blessings!
Yes.
I think he is wise and liberating
It becomes a real madness to suffer for what not yet happened.
Some call it sensitivity, inteligence, premonition, but it is only an endless source of suffering,that can't help anyone, when we could choose simply the joy of living
I wrote this in the stillness of this morning whilst listening to the birds...
In the stillness of all this...
Life carries on for the birds and bees,
The wind still blows the leaves in the trees,
The sky is clear with no white lines,
When its cloudy and rains, the sun still shines,
The birds still sing as the morning breaks,
Awakening the world to what it takes,
To live in harmony and reassess,
What we need now to calm distress,
To stop, consider, to be still,
As we no longer have our free will,
To do as we please and ignore,
The the call of Earth, Seas & Shore,
For rebalance rhythm and hear her heartbeat,
Breaking through our chaos is no mean feat.
So here we are having to be still,
Here we are with no free will,
Here we are having to find,
Our own stillness in our body and mind,
Whilst chaos and fear completely surrounds us,
With the wrath of this invisible virus,
Making us fight a war to breathe,
Resourcing what matters to relieve,
The pain and suffering we now receive,
As we lose connection with ones we love,
Some at a distance, some a forever above.
Will we learn any lesson from this?
Will we change to restore balance and bliss?
Or will we return to the old days?
Once this is over will we mend our ways?
Will we open our hearts, ears and eyes?
Will we feel the earth’s call and see her skies?
Will we feel the vulnerable people’s pain?
We we hear their voices and see once again?
How the imbalances created in human-mind,
Can take over and destroy humankind?
We will stop more often to feel our feet,
Connecting to the rhythm of the Earth’s Heartbeat?
Will we stop more often to breathe and feel,
Our own heartbeat as we stand still?
In the stillness of night will we look at stars,
Remind ourselves that this planet is ours?
But only for our lifetime is it rent free,
To treat as we will and with liberty,
Until for granted as it appears we’ve taken,
And we’re forced to lockdown to be awakened.

Caroline, this is SO beautiful! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Caroline Awesome poem. So true. I'm hopeful this signals the dawning phase of "On earth as it is in heaven. "
Finally, you have surfaced to help the public. There are so many others that have been providing and sharing their wonderful and helpful information. You have a presence and impact on the public and people trust what you have to say. Thank you for your thoughts. Blessings
He's been here. He just didn't want to dip his toes into the inky black fear we all like to play in. It is possible to remove all judgement of others within this lifetime we are living out now. 📿
Finally? His teachings have been there for decades. The message is the same, be aware. Step outside your concepts and really be with life. This is not about coronavirus, this is for everything, so you can take any other video and it will be as useful as this one to face the particular current pandemic situation
Javier Cisternas exactly! When the corona pandemic hit, I immediately and automatically leaned into Eckharts' teachings that I have followed for years and years 🙏🏼❤️ he's been helping us prepare for this for decades.
I have been watching Ekhart on you tube for 5 years. He has helped me tremendously.
This is 2nd public video in this global crisis and how wonderful that he has a platform to speak to millions, when once upon a time he only spoke to one person. True story 🙏
Fear is a mind game. If you live life and do right your at peace. Love one another, help each other and basically be a good human being. Life and death is not to fear but to be the best you can be til time comes for you. I’m at peace no matter what
what timing!
this is the exact moment i need your words about letting go fear the most
Same ✨💛✨
I listened to The Power of Now back in the early 2000s and while it helped me, I never fully got it until my subtle body woke up 2 years ago. His teachings on feeling the energy body is something I don't hear enough of, especially in current non-dual teachers. As an empath, anchoring in the body while simultaneously moving through the pain body by allowing it to be there was the key for me. Without that felt presence it was possible to further delude myself through mental gymnastics thinking I arrived at a lofty state when really I was dissociating to one degree or another. Eckhart you are a legend. Your teachings are accessible yet profoundly deep. Thank you for your teachings and radiant peace during this time.
The NEW EARTH IS HERE 💜✨🌟🌎 Thank you so much for this message. We have to remember all of this is happening so that we can build a better place. ✨🌟 Do not buy into fear. If you see others around you buying into fear and feel like you are alone on this journey of spiritual awakening, I am here to support you because I know how hard it is. 🧞♂️ Come watch and laugh 😂 or don’t I still love you all 💛
Hey I subscribed to your channel today after watching your latest video. How fun to see you here!
There you go! Wonderful words.
Reina Sanchez haha that’s awesome I’m in a lot of spiritual comment sections 😂
V1Gibby thank you my friend 🌟
This is brilliant, as per usual. Thank you for being the voice of reason in a world where the majority people pollute the earth with chaos. Whatever happens, if it even happens, you will handle it. Life is too short and too precious to be wasted on worrying; it doesn’t help and it doesn’t change a thing. 💕
That was exactly my sentiments, what Eckhart Tolle said about "forced Presence"... I feel like the frenzy, rushing, the fast way if life, has come to a halt. As if, a much needed rest has come to us! The other part being, we all feel closer & can support each other. 🙏🏽
An Eckhart video a day keeps insanity away.. 🙏🙂
Thanks Eckhart. I guess with the "world of happiness" shut down. We all get an opportunity to see where it truly resides. Peace every-one
You and your teachings saved a lot of us. Thank you for still taking time to share it with us. Hope you are always well. Take care, Eckhart!
‘And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.’ Matthew 8:26
Wish I was told this years ago. It utterly works.Lost Covert Narcissistic (Very High functioning), but it was there significantly to me. Its not normal to be schooled to raise narc siblings older, by putting the Children of Elder narcs through Private School . I was gaslit. Tat my expense . so I control the pain with ever greater control of thinking and understanding of the PAIN BODY controls using PRESENCE Its incredible how well this works.
My brothers and sisters come let’s love all the living being now with consciousness
Let’s love everything and everyone!🙏💜🙏😍😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Today at work at lunch, when I closed my eyes I wanted to relax a bit, but then the fear of the coronovirus completely seized me and I was very scared, very scared, since the panic started, I almost jumped up to run somewhere, but at some point I got together I "looked" that it was as if someone but not me were thinking these thoughts of fear, and suddenly it became incredibly easier. Of course this is not a coincidence that I did it on purpose. I would like this to happen always and everywhere. Lord, what freedom is it !!! Тhank you Ekhart Tolle!!!!
We're we on Planet Earth annoying the neighbours with our noise and pollution. No we were annoying Mother Earth. No self regulation, now we have no choice. Eckhart Tolle and his wisdom is what we need right NOW.
He is the best !!!! so liberated ! he is one of the greatest teachers to still be alive
Words of wisdom, esp in these times. Thankyou. Let's accept this time of the Pandemic, as a time to reconnect to our "Inner " awareness, .."Power of Now'.
Peace at last ,Breathing air instead of fumes of destruction.Thank you,E T.. Love .
Thank you Sir🙏🏼
Your calm voice always seems to lessen the tribulations we all experience. Peace ✌️
I've been helped so much by your books over the years, but your calming voice and attention to our needs right now is amazing and so needed. Thank you kind sir.
This is true, it took me approx 04 years to overcome my fear what he said I have lived it and have overcame my fear, my awareness was a different technique, prayers , my wife and looking to understand my conscious , i understood since I didn't lived in the moment
So now I am appreciating the moment because my today step is my future , discipline is part of the tool also , now I am born again and loving myself
rodeck Madiela presence in prayer is so powerful! Thank God you are free now, Jesus loves you so much. God bless.
Here-Now all the time. Life is beautiful, beyond forms, beyond thoughts!
I thank the Universe for Eckhart Tolle every day. He is the most amazing spiritual teacher.
Thank you Eckhard, I feel peace when I hear you🧡
The animals are the Masters , They don't "need" anything. Theirs is the kindom of heaven. I feel that the animals deserve to have peace, and they will overcome our Insanity. if we don't have a major shift in consciouness these types of situations like pandemic , riots, all of the above are inevitable. I personaly have awakenned. I live in the gehtto and i have been to Prison and have witnessed the acute unconsciousnes, violence , murders and drug abuse first hand. now i throw the same seeds that Nature, Eckhart and Jesús are teaching me in hopes they take root and grow and i know they will. I stay in the moment , the future and the past are simply illussion. The aztec calendar ended Dec, 2012 maybe, hopefully they meant the end of unconsciousnes...The New Earth, Cuauhtemoczin...here and now for all eternity...
Ricardo Uribe Thank you ❤️
@@annesnellebrand4890 your welcome.. thank you
I agree, Ricardo.
Go vegan! ☀️
I have a very stressed cat. He keeps on eating his hair to relax. They get identified with their mind too.
@@PrettyKittyCuddles keeping it there against it's will Might be the cause, human beings catch animals and put them in cages, tie them in the back yard or forcé them to stay indoors.. we use them as company or a form of entertainmeant , kinda like slavery... They where just fine before we got "lonely" ... Or "bored... Set the animals free .... Then it's one less thing You have to worry about ... A stressed out cat?
I am so happy this situation is happening. It is beautiful to see the power of the earth in turning it all off. This is an experience lots of us needed, so many of us do not know how to stop. Fear is a fantasy. It is different from fight and flight reaction. One is a normal physical reflex, the other is an invention of the mind. The body is a fantasy, money is a fantasy, sickness, every day life can be created and re created, death is not death, we think it is death but is actually a birth. You don't think the thinking happens to you, a creation of the mind. We have been kidnapped by the mind/ego.
Making tank sweaters cool again. The man.
Sorry vests
He's so badass!! 😄😀
What was old stuff- now is new again. Love it. I can wear my old retro vintage styles again too!💜
We call them Tank Tops in the UK 😉
😂
Our living Ascended Master on earth. Thank you God, thank you for Eckhart Tolle now.
Thank you Mr Tolle! You have always brought me peace. Your words will help many get through the unknown. Love to you from Ontario, Canada 💞🌎💞🌎💞
The practice of feeling the energy in your hands, feet, whole body - as well as becoming conscious of your breathing - is a brilliant way to distract from unwanted thoughts. Thank You!
"Without awareness you have no free will, you're completely at the mercy of conditioned mind"
YES! I want to allow but ultimately let go of the belief or assumption that I need to worry. God I love this man. Freedom in knowing these things he discusses. Just sheer freedom. He is here to liberate us.
Thank you, Eckhart! Let's do our best to embrace the stillness!
I've never felt such a silence and stillness in the world before. It's a wonderful time to be on this planet right now.
Fear can also help us to focus on the bright side of our being. Feeling your own body is a wonderful way to avoid negative thoughts. Thank you very much dear Eckhard Tolle!
I have no clue how I found you ...but u have really saved me and changed my life....still need u on a daily basis
My heart is full of gratitude for this man's teachings....❤
Sometimes my negative thoughts are so strong that it feels like I can't breathe or move.
His advice helps a lot
It's almost like having an on call therapist. I've seen so many videos that he has pretty much covered everything I went to the therapist to discuss outside of a few very personal details, it all boils down to thoughts about past & future. The Q&As are also very good. The present is usually pretty safe. I've been in those negative thought loops, they drain but they are totally voluntary. Breathing (deep, belly breathing), relaxing the jaw, moving around slowly, then going out for a little while even just to the backyard in sun, helps. Each little effort makes the bigger effort a tiny bit easier. Your post was 2 years ago. What's the update? I first had his book in my hand maybe 40 years ago, did not get it then. It was given again in about 2006 or 2007, I still did not get it. Then it was presented again 2 years ago. I started getting it. : )
the breath is life and as i practice my meditation i feel even more than ever how precious breathing is to me 🙏
After listening to the two last videos I wish what this man called Eckhart Tolle is teaching to be taught all around the world and must be the first lesson in primary school and first program reminder in high school all the way to university! This teaching should be the first program to open radios and televisions all around the world. Because after all we are just the consciousness we are looking for outside! He is definately trying his best to show to humans how to be human and how to access that dimension called being by looking inward, letting breathing to happen by istself as it does and feeling the body. I will be glad to encounter him one day! I have never heard of Eckhart Tolle but I am so glad I discovered him! Thanks to the internet. Thank you Mr Tolle. ♥️♥️♥️
Oh, he s amazing! I love him so much.
@@lauralunaazul Of course I understand 😊
" You are mercy of your thought".....once we realize it, it is funny. It takes only a few second to realize that. Thank you so much always.
Yes, fearful thinking wants all your attention!
Awareness of my hand. I’m aware it’s there even though my eyes are closed. I can feel it.
As a RN working with people who’ve lost a hand or arm or foot or even a leg. They could still remember and feel the pain of the area if it was traumatic need for amputation or if it disappeared from an accident dismembering. The ghost phantom was amazing to me. I was giving medications ordered for them to relieve the brain pain. I would love to have that conversation with you. I’m retired now. But that has always haunted me. I am aware that there would be therapeutic treatment for this condition especially with military traumatic medical amputated body parts.
Thank you for your teaching. It has helped me focus and know how to focus and I’ve been able to survive extreme adverse conditions and release the PTSD.
Just what I needed at this moment in time
Cuando no estás atento estas a merced del pensamiento
-siente el campo de energía interno de tus manos
Now is the opportunity to look within and awaken.
What about people who have the c virus their fear has come true.
@@rosemaryparker2567 it sounds crazy but awareness is not touched by the state of the body. A zen master once said dying on his bed: "everything is fine but my body is having trouble keeping up".
Eckhart is changing the world ❤️
Eckhart Tolle, you are a boss. Thank you for your spiritual insight and wisdom that you share with others. Thank you Ecky.
In my battle I have read and listened to all the well known people in this field of expertise. I'm so thankful I found help with them. But only Eckhart Tolle has brought me Peace ☮️🌟🙏
Thank you Eckhart, please keep speaking in these times.
"there is a possibility for the awakening for many"...in this time. Eckhart, you got it. No fear, no worry, your guidance helped me along the way. THANK YOU!
We are “NOT” our thoughts 💭 .... when we are not aware of our thoughts, we let our thoughts control us. Control your thoughts or your thoughts will control you. Don’t be a slave to your thoughts, but a “Master”, be AWARE ....
The Universe wanted to remind us that we are all connected.
Peace ☮️ love 💖 prayers 🙏 and blessings to all reading this. We will get through this 💟
If the whole world would listen and understand ET it would be HEAVEN ON EARTH ! My deepest respects to this man, who has improved my life a 100% Thank you Thank you Thank you !!
Thank you for helping us find the space for healing together.
Eckhart Tolle has an energetic Alchemy to him. I soak in a LOT of information. I even like to think. I like to grind things out in my mind about what's going on in the world right now. But whenever I let myself go back to Eckhart Tolle, especially the past few months, he is like some kind of nectar antidote to my entire being. I feel real Peace.
Thank you Mr. Tolle. Your voice brings me to presence.
I've been doing a body scan (where I focus on each body part from head to toe/feel its energy) everyday when I wake up and when I go to bed for the past month - it has helped tremendously with focus, easing the pain in my mind, ruminating thoughts, meditation and peace. Taking control of your mind is a skill, and requires practice everyday to become strong, just like a muscle. I HIGHLY recommend making this a habit
Thank you, Eckhart! I have been doing mindfulness practices for almost three years. It has all felt very mechanical to me - like going through the motions without any meaning. Yesterday, I happened upon this video. As is often the case, I awoke in the middle of the night with my mind racing. I recognized that those thoughts were there, and then I remembered this video. I focused on my hands. I could feel the energy in my hands and the thoughts dissipated. For the first time I had a moment of peace and felt at ease, and was able to go back to sleep. While this may be elementary for many, it was a very big step for me. Thank you!
The first 5 seconds and I'm glued. I'm here as a day trader trying to overcome fear of losing, over analysis, and distrusting myself.
My son is in critical condition due to the coronavirus. He is on a ventilator. Because of the quarantine, I cannot be with him. Waves of sorrow encapsulate me and I am in a grief that I’ve never felt better. Eckhart’s voice and teachings are able to pull me out and back to the moment, of which he is still alive. Namaste dearest teacher 🙏
Praying for you in this extremely difficult time
Hello, it’s been a year now. How are you?
Maria Lane
May your son recover. Send him waves of Love💐
Eckhart, you communicate what many ancients, wisdom teachers, highly evolved thinkers, artists, and especially spiritual lights like Jesus and Buddha have expressed, in a way that is accessible to all of us if we are ready. For that I am deeply grateful.
This video is more magnificent than a painting on the wall! You have pointed my awareness to a completely different level with this one master! Like a bandage you patch me up to step back into the world with such hope. You have left me with a space more grandeur than this false cycle of fear I have been witnessing inside. This is exactly what is needed for me to wake up all over again. Thank you for helping me see more clearly. You are the hand I need to guide me through this. I am grateful. 🙏
In these hard times, we need people like Eckhart Tolle to give hope. They help us to stay calm and focus. And to find the way out of fear and suffering, we have to practice their teaching about Awakening. By becoming more awakened, we are proud to be part of the emergence of the Universal Consciousness.........Thank you..........Namaste 🙏.
Wow, this is the most concise and in depth description of meditation I've ever heard
Totally agree that this is exactly what we need. Not the illness, but the stillness and the stopness. We need a new way forward with less destruction that honors the natural world and the preciousness of life.
It was interesting to notice yesterday, when I went grocery shopping, that people started looking at each other( instead of constantly looking at their phones ) and becoming more polite, smiling more...Fear of not knowing what tomorrow brings makes them living in present moment?What do you think?
Ann Martin yes! And when I was in the supermarket last week, everyone seemed more aware! More present about touching things and keeping distances, very respectfully and patiently waiting for each other. Much smiling too :)
I had a very different experience. At store, at the register, man refused to give me a normal amount of space, much less the required 6ft. I politely asked him to back away. He looked at me and said, “fuck you”. People suck. There are many stories of this type of thing happening.
I have noticed this too. While I hear about rudeness and hoarding, etc I am only witnessing kindness and consideration. And I live in a "backward" county in Oregon.
Good observetion
Very good, insightful observation. It points to a possible new direction, doesn't it?
