I remember almost drowning as a youngin. After all my struggle to get above water I just couldn't. At some point I gave up and started excepting the fact that I was going to die. In that realization as I desended, I was completely aware of my self. Things seemed like they were in slow motion but wonderful. It was the most beautiful peaceful moment I had experienced. Suddenly a really tall swimmer white dude came out of no where and pulled me up. As I gasped for air I heard him say "I gotcha buddy". I knew it was him saying it, but inside I interpreted those words as the universe speaking to me. Saying I gotcha, no matter what you experience.
I have been in a bad place lately, and recently had the opportunity to snorkel around a clear lake, as I was observing my breathing, suddenly I was present. I observed the fish just being. I let go of all the stress and just was. Now I’m thankful for this help to be present.

“Everything we say, do, and think, aligns us with darkness or light, love or grievance. Thus everything is a spiritual practice, whether we are aware of it or not. We are constantly, in every moment, aligning with one way of being or another. The choice is ours to make each moment of the day.” ― Ted Dekker, The Forgotten Way Meditations
Alertness is the key to everyday. Every day we look and listen and we see what is going on, because we are spirit and all beautiful things are available to us all. Awareness in every minute. Intuition is our best friend. Love it and listen to it. Spirit loves us in all ways. Sometimes we are interfering with information, but try it and see if you can get the message to help and love you on your path. Many blessings to all who hear this! I love you more than you could fathom. We all are working each day and shouldn’t be without gods divine messages. Thank god for all the people who try and succeed with sharing love. Love is all there is and all else is irrelevant. Stay the desire to commune with spirit and eventually all will be revealed.

Serah, sometimes when I’m awake at night I use this time to practice awareness and being in the moment, I don’t feel the need to be asleep, its probably the best time to be in the now and maybe even this brings on sleep before long.
Beautiful takeaway from this video.... The only thing that's relevant is whether I'm aware NOW in this moment. Not whether I will be able to be continuously aware. Thanks Eckhart!

Satipattana sutta is in core of buddhas teachings (which is tradition Tolle is dumbing down) and is translated as continuation of mindfullness, sati. This reguires cultivation of wisdom, investigation, brahma viharas and persistance. Mindfullness isnt something done by me, neither is attatchment, they are functions of the mind, conditionally arising. So condition your mind to continuously have conditions for mindfullness arise. You cant get the while picture without it. Its like watching a movie but 90% of the movie you been watching your phone. You wont know whats been happening, missing the chain of causes and effects.
This is great. That is my practice right now. When I remember, I ask myself, ”are you mindful?” Then I say, ”I don’t know let me check” and I try to experience three things with my senses. It could be the warmth of the sun against my skin, or a tingling in my right knee or the sound of a bird. I have bought myself a clicker (counter) which I carry around and then I give myself three clicks. I try to be honest to myself and be truly aware, not to conceptualize what I experience with my senses; not to give the bird a name say blackbird - just experience it. It is a fun game and rewarding to see at the end of the day how many clicks I got that day!
@@socknemanThanks to your comment on my comment, I was lead to this teaching again (and to my own comment). I am sitting at a lake, the sun on my skin, feeling the warmte of the sun on my legs, reading your story. Synchronicity at its best! Thank you Mikael for guiding me to here and now😉🙏🏼
@@SavannahE1972 Wow! 🙏 Amazing how fellow humans can connect and support each other through this, as it seems, universal consciousness! Thanks for your beautiful comment and all the best on your life path!
@playfulpatyy57 In my own words: Am I present? Am I aware of where I am? Am I conscious? By checking with yourself if you are aware/present/conscious, you become aware/etc immediately. Hope this makes sense.
or the "sounds" sensation within .for unfinished buiseness that come up sense the sensation , (ask whats up and listen for the answer that may come focusing on the sensation that comes not seeking or focusing on an answer in words even if it comes in that form.beware to put mind to only minimally ask then b open on receiving acccepting
Such a blessing to have discovered The Power of Now, in a secondhand shop..it truly is Life changing, life enhancing, it has helped me with letting go of so much stress, so much anxiety. I am now 80yrs old and the fact I can stop thinking even for a moment is a gift.
Hello Ann Wornell, i am very close to your age and also into ET, for depre, anxiety, stress, health, life situation, he really covers it all and so well. some days, hours better, some still very painful, especially at night.all my best to you and may we heal!.with 💕 Love.
I have been a student of Echart's for over 10 years. It's so amazing that some of his teachings, like this video impact me so strongly only after watching it a handful of times.
0:30 Use your five senses as awareness rather than as the interpreting mind. This would be enough as spiritual practice. This requires alertness, otherwise thinking take over. 5:46 Relaxed alertness. Vibrational frequency, like a dimmer switch, according to the situation. Thanks Eckhart. 🎪🎡🛴🍇🍮⚽️🤩🦃🤡🍉
I practise becoming present when brushing ne teeth lol, it's a great time to practice slowing a fast mind, for some reason brushing fast generates fast thoughts, it's a great practise 😉👍
The power of now changed my life beyond recognition. I am indebted to Echart he is truly a Master. Divinely inspired and inspiring. May GOD Bless you and yours. M
You saved my life Eckhart. And I love you. Noone doctor could and the pills that were gaving me. I read all your books, starting from "The power of Now" which made me thinking kind of "here is something", but I did not understand it then fully, and later I went through all your books... Multiple times... And then I saw video "Wisdom 2.0 Eckhart Meditation" and I suddenly just in one second understood everything what it is in all your books I read before and didn't fully understood. Video have some power :D Just big thank to you curring my depression lasting for 10 years... Now I want to live and I am enjoying being alive, not dependent on external circumstances
@@edgepixel8467 I would... the problem is... this thing Eckhart is teaching about it is really just so so amazing SIMPLE, but at the same time it is so hard to tell about it using words explaining... because our mind making everything and also those words intro a some concept... This is not the way to go... ask me specific question so maybe I respond then because I can't write a book here :)
@@edgepixel8467 but don't search only by your mind, thoughts, concepts... if.. read Eckhart with your whole body... being aware of it when you read, and even... what is amazing... be aware of the distance between your eyes and the book itself... Space and Silence (the portals... (explained in the power of now)) are awesome :)
I never know how busy my mind use to be. I think constantly about anything and most of it was just imagining things that never happen and mostly senseless things. But I was one day just downloading books and I came across his book (the power of now) it was when I realized how sick my mind was but I thank God that I had access to such knowledge now. And now I realize whenever I’m off track and I know how to come back to the present.
You can just feel that what Eckhart says is true. I can feel his presence and just listening to him speak gives me comfort. Imagine if the majority of humans had this awareness and positive aura/spirit/consciousness (whatever you want to call it). I hope he's correct that humankind is being prepared for a large spiritual awakening in the future. I may not still be around, but I want that for posterity.
Listening to some sound from the environment without judging it, feeling the body at this moment, feeling the breath coming and going, looking where I am, the use of any sense without judgment.
This morning I was walking my bicycle to a tunnel that passes underneath a busy super highway in downtown Grand Rapids (pop. 300,000). On my journey walking the bike to the tunnel, I met a large white tail deer (a doe). I talked to the deer, and she did not flee. We were 100 yards from danger, the highway which calls to the deer to cross during rush hour. I told her to stay safe. I never met wild animals until I began to bicycle, which heightened my alertness by a factor of immeasurable multipliers. I have a lot of white noise in my brain when I bike in traffic, and this man Tolle has helped me to block the verbal self babble and begin to replace it with the mountain stream.
Rub your fingers across your lips for ten seconds, like you're putting on lip balm. It will activate the parasympathetic nervous system to calm anxiety. I wish you all success, good health, opportunity and prosperity. ~ Much love from a Law Of Attraction UA-camr💜
It's the same as the process required to bring on creative thought, pay attention to everything without thought and without judgement. Keep letting go of the busyness in the mind, let it go and pay attention to the detail of what is happening around you, especially to nature which has no thought and just IS.
It's always lovely to listen to Eckhart's variations of now and being present; listen with a quiet mind and leave with a more open and less distracted heart. Thank you Eckhart.
7:34 Asking the only true relevant question, ‘ am I aware now ? ‘ Is very a powerful pointer to awareness. Asking it, you may find yourself there now in awareness.
@@julioeng9705 I don't know what you mean exactly by fully aware, but I can say I'm definitely much more aware than before I read the power of now. (And others, by now)
I grew up with alot of fear because my parents are people that have learned none of such lessons in life and are huge victims of fear themselves, obviously fueled for years by the media and the way society still works. One thing this book did for me is take away alot of that fear, because it has taught me the ridiculousness of it.
Whenever you feel that you are over there, ask yourself, "Where are you?" The right answer is " I am here." And "What time is it?" It's Now. Whenever or wherever you are, ask yourself "I am present?" When you're driven by thoughts, the question replaces you to the present. If you're alert, or present and not away, you don't need to ask yourself any question, just you are! With time practice, you will observe that time becomes shorter more and more between these questions.
That's weird because I've never been over there. I've always been here. And I keep thinking that if I was over there, then I would be there. Sometimes I feel like when I'm here, I want to get out of here.
@@GospelOfTimothy Hi Tim, being over there means being kidnapped by thoughts. If you feel or think that's you never have being kidnapped by thoughts, that's fine.
The most precious gift in life!!the awakening of consciousness!! magnificent,great,great value indeed!,the strong presence is coming after a while of practicing and it exists continuously in myself!! knowing who you are,then the action is wise too!!🙏🙏my gratitude!!
RELAXED alertness... The relaxed part is such a key component to those of us who have had life experiences that have given us the growth opportunity of transcending living from a hyper-vigilant state (high alertness).
His speaches are always interesting, and often with some humour ! But, here I have to say that not all fully enlightened or aware humans are here just because it's enjoyable! On the contrary! Often, these beings are here to show the path to enlightenment to others seeking, and often those light beings have a very tough time on this plane. Because of their good nature and kindness. When not protected by a community or so, then they are very vulnerable. And the lower vibrational people seek to harm them to the core. This needs to be known. Because those few of the fully conscious beings need to be protected in order to help, whilst in a safe environment. 🙏
We teach meditation in therapy. Literally can calm a frazzled over thinking mind. Sometimes we call it having faith instead of questioning everything. I discovered that in my life. Stop thinking and just live. The birds singing help us do this. Wind whispering. The feeling of the water. Notice 5 sounds. Then notice 5 things you can feel. Now taste. This helps being us from an anxious state to a state of peace.
Now after some weeks having watched your videos, I begin to use them as a means of coming to the present. As soon as I see you I’m starting to be present. That’s really helpful.
Eckhart Tolie is a true Guru a guru who can point and uncondition the listener to close towards presence stillness ..one can learn where one stands when we listen to him in a very serious sense ..ppl may lack the confidence to learn they have some degree of presence Eckhart puts one on the place and makes further progress ..it's a freedom typical.of a neat guru ..THANK YOU SIR ECKHART TOLIE..A GURU
I pretty much don't have a thought process, I have to actually take a few minutes & figure out exactly what I want to say or question that I may have. I've always have done everything from my Heart, think, feel etc.... Ever since I was a very young child (5 to 6yrs old) A year or two ago I also don't have a sense of time anymore either. I didn't even know that I had an Ego before my Spontaneous Spiritual Awakening a few years ago.? Then I learned & discovered that I had one but it's a Spiritual Ego instead of having a "Normal Ego" But I've always have been Present & Aware of everything around me without realizing that it was/is called Be Present or called Awareness, I was just Always Naturally in that State. I Feel & Believe that I was Born that way to prepare me for this Awakening.? Thank You for everything that you do & teach, Eckhart Tolle. 🙏🏼😊❤
@@henrituominen1620 Hello😊 I'm not saying that everything was good, I've been through a lot of Pain & Suffering throughout my entire life. It's actually pretty hard to always having an Open Heart because that's how people (me) always get hurt, unfortunately. I was simply trying to point out that I had an understanding of the subject that was being talked about. Also, I'm not saying or trying to sound like I'm better than anyone else because no one is perfect or is better than the other person is. Every Human Being on this Earth is Beautiful & has a Brilliantly Bright Beautiful Soul just waiting & wanting to Shine Brightly to help heal this World. (✌🏼💖&😂)~TO YOU ALWAYS.!! NAMASTE. 🙏🏼
Sometimes my ego gets the better of me, but a lot of people around me notice a positive improvement with me. I thank great people that I have listened to, and learned from. I'm just starting to learn from Eckhart, great man.
Observe with awareness rather than the interpreting mind. Alertness keeps thinking at bay, or thinking over-powers you. There is no straining or willfulness behind the alertness. It's relaxed, like vibration can be higher or lower. Thanks Eckhart. 😊🍾🎺🌴💯🌲📯🍁
Thank you! You are absolutely right. I have been in situations where the light is dim but gets brighter and it’s not a problem with the electrical either. I have also experienced were I have seen waves in the air which was really different. I had to stop and think whether I imagined it but I know I didn’t. I was just so alert at what was happening before me.
I am so grateful for all the talks of Eckhart... He is and was a great help, my whole life through.... May this videos reach all these people, who are ready... Thanx. Thomas
Thankyou eckhart, your wisdom is just what I need now at this moment, I’ve done absorbing everything I wanted to know, that was a fun time, sometimes overwhelming myself with information at times. However now it’s a wonder to just be free from myself, to sit and be, and in that being there is a deeper gratitude just for sharing space with a plant and even just being while everyone is busy and still I appreciate there being, it’s a state that I can’t even makes words of. This way of explaining an experience doesn’t even begin to define the wonder available to us in every moment, I can’t tell of it to anyone. I was a very unconscious person, parent etc, then life as it does, broke down and I was slowly born anew. Thankyou eternally, I feel like I got off with a life sentence for a crime I never committed, so every day feels vibrant and realer than I thought life ever would be. I am in love with this entire creation. Thankyou eckhart for supporting us through these times with words and wisdom for what we all can all become with some conscious effort. All it starts with is a thought to change your mind and use it as a tool rather than you be a tool for the mind to use. We are spiritual beings having a human experience, not the other way around. Love to alll.
God gave this man a teddy bear persona to deliver a peaceful message about being human. How can we be human. We all have different versions. Let's be a blessing. Uplift ourselves
Thank you!!! This is exactly what I needed to hear. By the end of this video I could hear my own vibration again...a sound that brings me peace and has been blocked from my awareness for a few years. I'm so grateful 🥲.❤
Practice of senses from 0:00 Listening to sounds of nature by closing the eyes Or alertness by following the butterflies is also great My most important lesson, "No point in thinking when will I have continous alertness?" 7:34-8:51 The same applies to happiness
@@NoahBailie My mind might be just a bit curious as to how law of attraction lines those like yourself up with Eckhart, but judgement is still part of my spiritual work.
Nice to be able to recognise others before they even recognise you. I love observing people from a distance and usually know quite a lot about them by the time they approach me. I am not enlightened but it is wonderful being able to really look at people and get to know them before even striking a conversation.
@@juststop022 Simple noticing that I‘m in four different places and scenes in my mind isn‘t enough for me. I have to remind me to stop thinking and having conversations in my mind that have nothing to do (or sometimes it actually has) with where I‘m now. You know my mind is always talking, I‘m analyzing my dreams while I‘m dreaming and I am aware of the fact that my mind is never quiet, just noticing isn’t enough, believe me.
Thank you Sara for your help for our family. You have helped us all grow and confront our pasts and the effect it has had on all of us. Blessings on you 💜💜💜💜🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

the pauses were irritating at first, like... "get to the point"... now I feel comforted by his manner.
The way he talks forces you, whether you like it or not, into presence. It's very easy to listen to the silence between the words when he talks.

I have bought myself a clicker (counter) which I carry around and then I give myself three clicks.
I try to be honest to myself and be truly aware, not to conceptualize what I experience with my senses; not to give the bird a name say blackbird - just experience it.
It is a fun game and rewarding to see at the end of the day how many clicks I got that day!
@@socknemanThanks to your comment on my comment, I was lead to this teaching again (and to my own comment).
I am sitting at a lake, the sun on my skin, feeling the warmte of the sun on my legs, reading your story. Synchronicity at its best!
Thank you Mikael for guiding me to here and now😉🙏🏼
@@SavannahE1972 Wow! 🙏 Amazing how fellow humans can connect and support each other through this, as it seems, universal consciousness! Thanks for your beautiful comment and all the best on your life path!
Aware of what? What does that mean?
@playfulpatyy57 In my own words: Am I present? Am I aware of where I am? Am I conscious?
By checking with yourself if you are aware/present/conscious, you become aware/etc immediately.
Hope this makes sense.
I find it very easy to get caught up thoughts of the past and future. I like to focus on the sounds around me to ground me in the present.
This is exactly what I did immediately following this video … how wonderful ✨🙏🏼
I found its not enough to be present but also deal with unresolved past issues to create Balance.
@@justice4all977 yess, unfinished business ....
or the "sounds" sensation within
.for unfinished buiseness that come up sense the sensation , (ask whats up and listen for the answer that may come focusing on the sensation that comes not seeking or focusing on an answer in words even if it comes in that form.beware to put mind to only minimally ask then b open on receiving acccepting
Such a blessing to have discovered The Power of Now, in a secondhand shop..it truly is Life changing, life enhancing, it has helped me with letting go of so much stress, so much anxiety. I am now 80yrs old and the fact I can stop thinking even for a moment is a gift.
Hello Ann Wornell, i am very close to your age and also into ET, for depre, anxiety, stress, health, life situation, he really covers it all and so well. some days, hours better, some still very painful, especially at night.all my best to you and may we heal!.with 💕 Love.
❤
Great time of life to become Aware! 💜 Being still. Allowing oneself to just sit and "be." 💙
Such a lovely human to provide us with these life changing teachings :)
He is a wonderful guide!
I doubt he's lonely.
I'm a sri lankan Christian. I learnt the real spirituality from eckhart & osho.
Eckhart really reveals deeper truth of life in a simple language.
Its not a practice of will but a practice of being. Thanks eckhart
I have been a student of Echart's for over 10 years. It's so amazing that some of his teachings, like this video impact me so strongly only after watching it a handful of times.
What a gentle interesting man!
@@lyndajohn1459 he also brings humour into his talks, laughter is a very important component in spirituality.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear...
0:30
Use your five senses as awareness rather than as the interpreting mind. This would be enough as spiritual practice.
This requires alertness, otherwise thinking take over.
5:46
Relaxed alertness.
Vibrational frequency, like a dimmer switch, according to the situation.
Thanks Eckhart. 🎪🎡🛴🍇🍮⚽️🤩🦃🤡🍉
*LIFE is a spiritual practice. Whether it’s brushing your teeth or competing in the OLYMPICS*
Me off to the drugstore to buy toothpaste
I practise becoming present when brushing ne teeth lol, it's a great time to practice slowing a fast mind, for some reason brushing fast generates fast thoughts, it's a great practise 😉👍
@@martydas6233 me off to Tokyo to compete in the Olympics.
Or being with someone difficult (unaware).

The power of now changed my life beyond recognition. I am indebted to Echart he is truly a Master. Divinely inspired and inspiring. May GOD Bless you and yours. M
Same! ❤
You saved my life Eckhart. And I love you. Noone doctor could and the pills that were gaving me. I read all your books, starting from "The power of Now" which made me thinking kind of "here is something", but I did not understand it then fully, and later I went through all your books... Multiple times... And then I saw video "Wisdom 2.0 Eckhart Meditation" and I suddenly just in one second understood everything what it is in all your books I read before and didn't fully understood. Video have some power :D Just big thank to you curring my depression lasting for 10 years... Now I want to live and I am enjoying being alive, not dependent on external circumstances
Thank you for your story, Rafal. You are powerful.
@@irenadmytryk1551 Thanks, but I am not powerful :) but the life that I am and not that I have, is for sure... :)
So can you pass on that wisdom to us, in its digested form?
@@edgepixel8467 I would... the problem is... this thing Eckhart is teaching about it is really just so so amazing SIMPLE, but at the same time it is so hard to tell about it using words explaining... because our mind making everything and also those words intro a some concept... This is not the way to go... ask me specific question so maybe I respond then because I can't write a book here :)
@@edgepixel8467 but don't search only by your mind, thoughts, concepts... if.. read Eckhart with your whole body... being aware of it when you read, and even... what is amazing... be aware of the distance between your eyes and the book itself... Space and Silence (the portals... (explained in the power of now)) are awesome :)
I never know how busy my mind use to be. I think constantly about anything and most of it was just imagining things that never happen and mostly senseless things. But I was one day just downloading books and I came across his book (the power of now) it was when I realized how sick my mind was but I thank God that I had access to such knowledge now. And now I realize whenever I’m off track and I know how to come back to the present.
You can just feel that what Eckhart says is true. I can feel his presence and just listening to him speak gives me comfort. Imagine if the majority of humans had this awareness and positive aura/spirit/consciousness (whatever you want to call it). I hope he's correct that humankind is being prepared for a large spiritual awakening in the future. I may not still be around, but I want that for posterity.
Listening to some sound from the environment without judging it, feeling the body at this moment, feeling the breath coming and going, looking where I am, the use of any sense without judgment.
What a Beautiful description in more detail Of what ET. Means in this message!
Thanks Dara!
Pretty hard for me to not guess or be really alert with other people as I have hearing loss.
Tks for all your Love and Compassion given always to us ❤ Dan
This morning I was walking my bicycle to a tunnel that passes underneath a busy super highway in downtown Grand Rapids (pop. 300,000). On my journey walking the bike to the tunnel, I met a large white tail deer (a doe). I talked to the deer, and she did not flee. We were 100 yards from danger, the highway which calls to the deer to cross during rush hour. I told her to stay safe. I never met wild animals until I began to bicycle, which heightened my alertness by a factor of immeasurable multipliers. I have a lot of white noise in my brain when I bike in traffic, and this man Tolle has helped me to block the verbal self babble and begin to replace it with the mountain stream.
Rub your fingers across your lips for ten seconds, like you're putting on lip balm. It will activate the parasympathetic nervous system to calm anxiety. I wish you all success, good health, opportunity and prosperity.

Thank you for the tip!
Thanks I'm trying this! Gavin have a spectacular day & all that your endeavors
Thanks, I'll try that.
It works! Thank you so much. Sending you Good Karma from Scotland 💜🕉💜
Thank you for taking the time to share this tip. Im definitely going to try it. 🌻
It's the same as the process required to bring on creative thought, pay attention to everything without thought and without judgement. Keep letting go of the busyness in the mind, let it go and pay attention to the detail of what is happening around you, especially to nature which has no thought and just IS.
It's always lovely to listen to Eckhart's variations of now and being present; listen with a quiet mind and leave with a more open and less distracted heart.
Thank you Eckhart.
7:34 Asking the only true relevant question, ‘ am I aware now ? ‘
Is very a powerful pointer to awareness. Asking it, you may find yourself there now in awareness.
This man has upgraded my life. 🤎🙏🏻
Are you fully aware??
@@julioeng9705 I don't know what you mean exactly by fully aware, but I can say I'm definitely much more aware than before I read the power of now. (And others, by now)
Me too. I used to identify as an anxious fragile mess. But now? No way Jose! 🤠
I grew up with alot of fear because my parents are people that have learned none of such lessons in life and are huge victims of fear themselves, obviously fueled for years by the media and the way society still works.
One thing this book did for me is take away alot of that fear, because it has taught me the ridiculousness of it.
You did it yourself, he just showed you how.
Whenever you feel that you are over there, ask yourself, "Where are you?"
The right answer is " I am here."
And "What time is it?"
It's Now.
Whenever or wherever you are, ask yourself "I am present?" When you're driven by thoughts, the question replaces you to the present.
If you're alert, or present and not away, you don't need to ask yourself any question, just you are!
With time practice, you will observe that time becomes shorter more and more between these questions.
@Pinnedby Eckhart Tolle With great pleasure Eckhart! I will do!
That's weird because I've never been over there. I've always been here. And I keep thinking that if I was over there, then I would be there. Sometimes I feel like when I'm here, I want to get out of here.
@@GospelOfTimothy Hi Tim, being over there means being kidnapped by thoughts. If you feel or think that's you never have being kidnapped by thoughts, that's fine.
@@chrisaboulfaraj4904 I don't feel like my mind is kidnapped, but I am a Daydreamer. However if I stop daydreaming, I generally fall asleep.
@@GospelOfTimothy So whatever happens to you witness it and be present in it.
The most precious gift in life!!the awakening of consciousness!! magnificent,great,great value indeed!,the strong presence is coming after a while of practicing and it exists continuously in myself!! knowing who you are,then the action is wise too!!🙏🙏my gratitude!!
Thank you for keeping my faith alive. Gets hard sometimes but I know I can get through it. Bless us all!
RELAXED alertness... The relaxed part is such a key component to those of us who have had life experiences that have given us the growth opportunity of transcending living from a hyper-vigilant state (high alertness).
His speaches are always interesting, and often with some humour ! But, here I have to say that not all fully enlightened or aware humans are here just because it's enjoyable! On the contrary! Often, these beings are here to show the path to enlightenment to others seeking, and often those light beings have a very tough time on this plane. Because of their good nature and kindness. When not protected by a community or so, then they are very vulnerable. And the lower vibrational people seek to harm them to the core. This needs to be known. Because those few of the fully conscious beings need to be protected in order to help, whilst in a safe environment. 🙏
We teach meditation in therapy. Literally can calm a frazzled over thinking mind. Sometimes we call it having faith instead of questioning everything. I discovered that in my life. Stop thinking and just live. The birds singing help us do this. Wind whispering. The feeling of the water. Notice 5 sounds. Then notice 5 things you can feel. Now taste. This helps being us from an anxious state to a state of peace.
Alert, aware and awake! Ahhh, living in the moment.... thank you, Eckhart, for reminding me of this tonight....✨💞
I really believe in power of our thoughts! So much love for everybody here!
Lots of love to you too ❤
When I listen to you, I listen to you with awareness without thoughts. I hope I am getting awareness about awareness itself. Thank you Eckhart 🙏
Now after some weeks having watched your videos, I begin to use them as a means of coming to the present. As soon as I see you I’m starting to be present. That’s really helpful.
Eckhart Tolie is a true Guru a guru who can point and uncondition the listener to close towards presence stillness ..one can learn where one stands when we listen to him in a very serious sense ..ppl may lack the confidence to learn they have some degree of presence Eckhart puts one on the place and makes further progress ..it's a freedom typical.of a neat guru ..THANK YOU SIR ECKHART TOLIE..A GURU
I pretty much don't have a thought process, I have to actually take a few minutes & figure out exactly what I want to say or question that I may have.
I've always have done everything from my Heart, think, feel etc.... Ever since I was a very young child (5 to 6yrs old)
A year or two ago I also don't have a sense of time anymore either. I didn't even know that I had an Ego before my Spontaneous Spiritual Awakening a few years ago.? Then I learned & discovered that I had one but it's a Spiritual Ego instead of having a "Normal Ego"
But I've always have been Present & Aware of everything around me without realizing that it was/is called Be Present or called Awareness, I was just Always Naturally in that State. I Feel & Believe that I was Born that way to prepare me for this Awakening.?
Thank You for everything that you do & teach, Eckhart Tolle. 🙏🏼😊❤
@@henrituominen1620
Hello😊
I'm not saying that everything was good, I've been through a lot of Pain & Suffering throughout my entire life. It's actually pretty hard to always having an Open Heart because that's how people (me) always get hurt, unfortunately.
I was simply trying to point out that I had an understanding of the subject that was being talked about.
Also, I'm not saying or trying to sound like I'm better than anyone else because no one is perfect or is better than the other person is. Every Human Being on this Earth is Beautiful & has a Brilliantly Bright Beautiful Soul just waiting & wanting to Shine Brightly to help heal this World.
(✌🏼💖&😂)~TO YOU ALWAYS.!!
NAMASTE. 🙏🏼
His sweater is so calming 😌. Love this. ❤️
“Alertness about the background of your awareness”. And “Zen is entering the state of consciousness”
Love you Eckhart.. Can't ever thank you enough for the space you have been... This teaching is life changing...
Sometimes my ego gets the better of me, but a lot of people around me notice a positive improvement with me. I thank great people that I have listened to, and learned from. I'm just starting to learn from Eckhart, great man.
Observe with awareness rather than the interpreting mind. Alertness keeps thinking at bay, or thinking over-powers you. There is no straining or willfulness behind the alertness. It's relaxed, like vibration can be higher or lower.
Thanks Eckhart. 😊🍾🎺🌴💯🌲📯🍁
I am autistic and I have synaesthesia so I hear colours and see sounds. 💖
I’d love to hear more about that. So Interesting. Is it enjoyable or not, does it change depending on how you feel?
That is so profound, you're luckyyy
How wonderful that must be! 😊
I do too, at times. But, maybe in a different way than you do?
When will I ever met Eckhart Tolle, the Great Teacher of the world.
Now
Thank you! You are absolutely right. I have been in situations where the light is dim but gets brighter and it’s not a problem with the electrical either. I have also experienced were I have seen waves in the air which was really different. I had to stop and think whether I imagined it but I know I didn’t. I was just so alert at what was happening before me.
Eckhart ... listening to you helps so much. All those exercises & pointing to where to practice how to practice. Thank you so much.
"Your hands may do the work but your mind can remain still. You are that which never moves."
- Ramana Maharshi
I am so grateful for all the talks of Eckhart... He is and was a great help, my whole life through.... May this videos reach all these people, who are ready... Thanx. Thomas
Thankyou eckhart, your wisdom is just what I need now at this moment, I’ve done absorbing everything I wanted to know, that was a fun time, sometimes overwhelming myself with information at times. However now it’s a wonder to just be free from myself, to sit and be, and in that being there is a deeper gratitude just for sharing space with a plant and even just being while everyone is busy and still I appreciate there being, it’s a state that I can’t even makes words of. This way of explaining an experience doesn’t even begin to define the wonder available to us in every moment, I can’t tell of it to anyone.
I was a very unconscious person, parent etc, then life as it does, broke down and I was slowly born anew.
Thankyou eternally, I feel like I got off with a life sentence for a crime I never committed, so every day feels vibrant and realer than I thought life ever would be.
I am in love with this entire creation. Thankyou eckhart for supporting us through these times with words and wisdom for what we all can all become with some conscious effort. All it starts with is a thought to change your mind and use it as a tool rather than you be a tool for the mind to use.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience, not the other way around.
Love to alll.
We are living in a very interesting times,where have men like Mr Tolle
I love your laugh Eckhart. Thank you for being you. Stay blessed everyone ❤️
What an adorable personality Mr Tolle has, thank you for sharing your wisdom.
God gave this man a teddy bear persona to deliver a peaceful message about being human. How can we be human. We all have different versions. Let's be a blessing. Uplift ourselves
Thank you!!! This is exactly what I needed to hear. By the end of this video I could hear my own vibration again...a sound that brings me peace and has been blocked from my awareness for a few years. I'm so grateful 🥲.❤
Acceptance, Stillness, in the Now allows Wisdom, Truth, Peace to arise from within, Being.
This dude is a gift to humanity.
This man is a gift from God to earth.
This is my best day I listened to Eckhart,today I am so grateful,thank you:)
I experience this while in the woods deer hunting. You are so alert that all thought fades away.
Practice of senses from 0:00
Listening to sounds of nature by closing the eyes
Or alertness by following the butterflies is also great
My most important lesson, "No point in thinking when will I have continous alertness?" 7:34-8:51
The same applies to happiness
It’s always enlightening to listen to you! Thank you!
I like the way he pauses to think about what he will say
I have said it before and I will say it again… Eckhart you are delightful 🙏💜🙏
Thank you so much for bringing me back to my purpose of healing.
I love this man.
I love your mom
@@NoahBailie My mind might be just a bit curious as to how law of attraction lines those like yourself up with Eckhart, but judgement is still part of my spiritual work.
@@Oneironaut9 don’t stress about Carl. He’s trolling I’m guessing. 😀. But I’m with you. Really love this man too.
As the Buddha pointed out, mindfulness/presence might be the only spiritual quality you simply cannot have _too much_ of
When did buddha say this?
@@juststop022 I don't know when - the Suttas have no dates I am afraid
Let’s all be here, in this very moment ✨
Nice to be able to recognise others before they even recognise you. I love observing people from a distance and usually know quite a lot about them by the time they approach me. I am not enlightened but it is wonderful being able to really look at people and get to know them before even striking a conversation.
That’s not what enlightenment is, Chuckie.
Enlightenment is not to be in a light of glory which is forever but a small flash of WISDOM in the moment
Love this man, sometimes what he doesn’t say is what he says , his pauses are statements of their own. Just love his work and teachings.
cant even play an 11 minute video without an ad interrupting 😳😳😳
SERENITY NOW !
Serenity Now🤣🤣🤣
You make me smile ..... God bless you.
Always follow your smile's... 😔... Namaste
within the first 1:30 i felt like I just realized that everything about Sri Ramana Maharshi is the absolute truth.
Mr. Tolle is a marvelous teacher. Thank you.
With sincere gratitude for your empowering words of wisdom Eckhart. xo
He's a lovely man . A pleasure to listen to .
thankyou Eckhardt for the wisdom, humour and help you give to us all
I tried this today when I was walking in the woods. It‘s still a challenge for me but I keep reminding myself to be in the present moment.
@@juststop022 Simple noticing that I‘m in four different places and scenes in my mind isn‘t enough for me. I have to remind me to stop thinking and having conversations in my mind that have nothing to do (or sometimes it actually has) with where I‘m now. You know my mind is always talking, I‘m analyzing my dreams while I‘m dreaming and I am aware of the fact that my mind is never quiet, just noticing isn’t enough, believe me.
@@juststop022 I have raised four kids - my mind can be at four places ;-)
Let go. One moment at a time. Even if its tricky. Let go of what you can and be content with that progress.
@@JonathanEtsa that’s what I am practicing for a while now, sometimes it’s easy sometimes hard. Therefore I wrote: it’s still a challenge ;-)

Wonderful spiritual scientist!
Yes it connects me, talking, to Unlimited Absence, transcendence and easy to understand how to observe.....thanks, it helps to be Present. Very good teaching.Thank you, Eckhart.
You are such a beautiful soul. I'm grateful for your guidance. Brightest blessings, and you are loved immensely.
