About Eckhart:
Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth-translated into more than 50 languages-he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States,” and in 2011, Watkins Review (now Watkins Mind Body Spirit) named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.”
Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have helped countless people around the globe experience a state of vibrantly alive inner peace in their daily lives. His teachings focus on the significance and power of Presence, the awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking. Eckhart sees this awakening as the essential next step in human evolution.
Whenever the pain body arises in the human mind one ought to remain consciously aware of it in the moment and observe it for what it is because the moment you start analytically identifying with it it'll draw you in and start to feed off you. Hence, whenever my pain body arises, I see it as if I'm sat in front of a small camp fire looking at the flames burning, and as long as I am not adding fuel to the fire it'll eventually burn itself out. Thanks Eckhart.🙏
Love the analogy! ❤
@@geneedgerton4482Thank you.🔥🙏
nice analogy
Excellent description 🙌🏻🙏🏻

I found an affirmation by Louise Hay that helps to accept the present moment:
"I relax knowing I am in the right place at the right time doing the right thing." ❤
What we resists persists
Acceptance of now is the perfect state - Eckhart Tolle
It’s funny how resistance seems to be a natural reaction for most of us and that would back up being more present to be a good start ✨
It's just a way of meditating.
Donald Walsh,s material
He (Eckhart)..for some reason makes me emotional..at the same time makes me laugh. Where did this man come from??...he's like a guardian angel in the present. Im probably not making sense to anyone else but i just feel this deep inner sense of peace whenever i listen to him., no matter what he's talking about ❤
I totally agree with you. Eckhart is a truly enlightened spiritual leader who is truly making the world a much better place, and saving people. God bless you Eckhart.
As Michael Singer would say... From the seat of the soul... Just observe. Things come and they go. Nothing in life continues on unless you drag it into the present moment. Even when your house burns down it doesn't keep burning. Just observe as things come and go. "Relax and release".
wise sole
@@HeyY.T.StopDeletingMyComments His books are amazing and his UA-cam videos as well.
Yes, these are the very samskaras, which come to surface as Life Itself tries to purify us, and holding that loving space of acceptance, with the awareness that nothing is permanent, will allow them to be released ❤
Exactly I love listening to Michael Singer
I love both MS and ET ❤❤
I have found that walking in nature while the pain body is active…helps me calm the mind and become the observer.
bless you.
Yes, that's definitely another great way to counteract the pain body. A lovely walk in nature is so wonderful and it always brings us straight back in to the present moment of alert awareness and essence of being.
And yesterday I found the walking brought reasons and solutions to the pain body. Xx
@@stephenflood3463 oh thats why old folks used to say: take your problens on a long walk walk 😅
Me too 👍💫
More we meditate more clarity comes to our essence, we get beyond the analytical mind, which created out false sense of self ,, what we then Identified as being Us. Thoughts are combination of emotions and past experiences, empty vessels at first until we energize and give meaning to it. The true act of meditation is connecting to a deeper higher dimension which separates us from body and mind identification and connects us to our True self, which is infinite source, infinite love, wisdom and abundance that we all are. Much love to you all! Not analyzing rather developing the presence with the source which then starts to lead every aspect of our lives in the best possible way, once we remove our so called self out of the way and we start to trust the process,, everything becomes effortless afterwards, that's the true miracle, being aligned with our higher self. ❤🔥
Quite your mind and listen to the Voice of God with no judgment. Love and light
Well did you "achieve" that already or is this only working for a short period of time?
Have you personally experienced this
“Any phenomenon that arises, whether external or internal, can become fuel for the fire of presence”… that was like a smack in the face, I had to pause the video and write that down. Thank you for that. That’s really going to help.
A smack? Maybe more like a light going off you mean? A smack is painful lol
@@newleft2254 Idk dude you don’t have to take it so literal. I said what I felt in the moment.
I appreciate you Eckhart and I appreciate the people who have gotten up to ask questions like these.
4:45
You are most powerful when you bring acceptance to whatever arises this moment.
It requires alertness.
This is not passive.
It is uncompromising and active yes to what is.
It's also passive gesture of allowing.
This combines the polarity of active presence and passive allowing.
Spaciousness surrounding the pain body.

If you pursue the why, it leads to more why's.
Thanks Eckhart. 7 April 2024.
💖💖💖💖💖💖🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🌿🌿🌿🌹🌹🌹
🙏
That's how it is❤ it's the only choice we have.✨
As far as I'm concerned I'm not interested in making my pain body disappear, because NOW I know that I'm not that. It can stay there if it want, it doesn't bother me, I just don't have any interest in it anymore. I'm not in love with it anymore.😂
I don't know what else will happen to me in life, everything will happen as it has already happened and as it happens to everyone.
I leave it in the attic, I know it's there and that's fine but I also know that it can no longer blackmail me or scare me.
We are practically separated at home.😁
We will still argue every now and then but our love story is over FOREVER.🤣
What a liberation!
So grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨✨🌺
What a beautiful way of looking at it..❤
@@clairesmith1964 😁Thanks ❤️ Sending Love 🙏
One things that works for me,IS when I start to wake UP, before I'm fully awake, I meditate, and usualy that makes for a very good day...
Yes, these are the very samskaras, which come to surface as Life Itself tries to purify us, and holding that loving space of acceptance, with the awareness that nothing is permanent, will allow them to be released ❤
Kudos to the guy for learning to be his best self. Plenty aren’t.
Eckhardt sends such a peaceful energy. I just love watching you to calm my worries down. Thank you for sharing👍🙏💖💝
That is definitely true. I have a very stressful job and so often on my way to work I catch myself worrying about all the things that might happen that day and all the demands I might not be able to cope with. But then I just start listening to one of Eckhart's videos in my car and all of a sudden all my worries are gone 🙏♥️
@@NN-nl9cx For Eckharts
No one makes me laugh like Tolle. I even enjoy listen to my laugh, it is so warm!
I resonate with what he’s asking. I’m content before I go to sleep and go to sleep feeling content but I wake up with hateful thoughts for the first hour or so.
Thank you Eckart❤️❤️
I wake up everyday with a sinking feeling in my chest. It is too painful to go on like this. I deserve better.
That's your motivation all the best 💖
Ask yourself why am I feeling this. Don’t rush to answer, just let the question stay in your consciousness for a while….
When you find a solid answer or answers, be radically honest, take responsibility and let change happen.
I've had the same feeling for years. You are actually not alone or doomed, as real as that thought may feel.
Allow it to be. Simply sit with it and touch it as lightly as you can with awareness. Just a feather's brush on it. It is there and you are there. Which is real? Which exists without the other?
@@user-wi3fw1qb5v 😍
@@Alex722 the verbal abuse that I didn't deserve, the abuser that i can't forgive, the pain that i can't forget.
Great work by ET. That was a very powerful graphic explanation and solution. We are extremely fortunate to have ET and others for guidance. Makes everything so much easier.
Accept the reality of this moment". I relate to the person asking the question. Thank you Ekhart❤
I love Eckhart with all my heart and soul 🙏
Thank You Beloved Eckhart ❤
Sending Much Love, Light and Blessings to You and All One Consciousness
Namaste 🙏 ❤
The pain body functions within our imagination. We don’t sense where it’s coming from. At one point I could not take its persistent pressure anymore and I put my head back and screamed Noooo you will not! With much intent, and a booming voice of awareness I did this, silently inside my head. At that moment I became thoughtless and quiet. This was the beginning for me. That showed me what I’m dealing with. Two me’s. The knower and the imagination. I now can emotionally sense my pain body wiggling thru my imagination into my mind or even just my egoic nature kicking in with judgement, narrative, or what ifs. Anxiety. And the Knower yells Get back! And it retreats immediately, and I am present. This is how I must do it bc my imagination and pain body were such an active part of my life. Sensing the Knower in yourself immediately upon ordering the imagination to Get back is a key part of it. I hope this helps someone else as it has helped me. I am just at the start of my awakening. If you feel negative emotions especially for no apparent reason try summoning your will and command it Nooo or Get back! Give your knower a voice. This is the day your power speaks.
Thanks eckhart ,the concept of pain body by you have saved so many
Very true. I am one of them😁
@@veraintuizione6497
it really hit home for me, the examples of pain body, the way he describes this in
A New Earth,
but lately I'm noticing how the mind (voice in head,imagery) works in tandem with the painbody, always ready to engage with it, supplying a stream of "believable" narratives into that wood chipper of chaotic drama that "they" create..
& all out of "thin air"..
@@HeyY.T.StopDeletingMyComments I understand you very well. You should say to IT: I'm listening to you, speak, what do you have to say to me?! Than IT😁 taken by surprise and embarrassed because it has been discovered, will suddenly fall silent!❤️🙏
Fantastic explanation, I actually had similar question and this video answered it for me, thank you so much
I felt that while I’m listening to him, my pain body dissolved ❤
Its always great to have responces like that, however realize that its possible to control the feeling of pain permanently, but its a process and not just a sudden realization. Try to write a diary for example where you write down what youve learned today and practice self love and meditation on a regular basis, try to give you enough time for it, time for yourself and know that its more than well spent.
You’ve read it and heard it a hundred times, but when thoughts arise- stop and watch… just consciously coming into bright and luminous presence eliminates the thought for a split second while you do it. Another chance to watch the thought flood back in, which it will. So become present again and repeat. In time, you’ll discover that there’s something observing this process, and at some point you’ll discover that whatever appears before the ‘something observing this process’ comes and goes. And eventually you’ll discover that there’s a constant background holding all appearances, including the idea of being a person. And now the illusion starts to melt like vanilla ice cream on a hot day. You’re not doing any of this, it’s pure being remembering itself, so just relax, be vigilant when thoughts sneak out to play, sit back and watch everything unfold in its own time, which it always will- as long as ‘you’ have no interest in the outcome 🙏
I awake in the same way, except I feel it mostly in my heart centre. Xx
Thank you for helping us releasing our pain ❤ .
I really like Eckhart, the way that he speaks.
The only problem is I have no idea what he's talking about, so I glean absolutely nothing from his talks. It's a real bummer because I'm miserable more often than not.
I have recently started reciting hanuman chalisa when my pain body tries to take over.. I have been working on it from 8 months, previously I would know after days that oh that breakdown/fight that was pain body but now I'm able to identify at the moment as soon as it comes and I stay very calm, just knowing that it's pain body is helpful because as Eckart said, you need to shine the light of consciousness on it and thus it weakens everytime
When I feel heaviness in the heart, tightness in the stomach…, I just sit still in a place where nobody disturbs me, my meditation room if possible, give my full yet relaxed attention to the area - heart, stomach, etc . - and sometimes in my mind, I also say ” I love you, I accept you” to this area in a loving and gentle way. The energy typically releases after a while, you can literally feel the release in your body and sometimes it may even come out as a hiccup. In any case, you will feel the lightness once it’s gone. What Eckhart talked about is not just mental, but something you can experience at physical level, whether you call it surrender or acceptance. As you release more and more, you will experience certain emotion less and less. This is an age and time when emotional energy could become more intense. Instead of treating it as a pain or nuisance, utilize it as a way to speed up energy releasing and healing. Wish you all the best.
The sword of presence, in Sikhism we call this middle Sword Baghauti, and the side swords Miri, Piri to make a Khanda symbol amazing Eckhart 🙏⚔️
Hi Eckhart,
Thank you for your tips. This is certainly helpful. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you Echardt ❤this teaching was practical
Thank you for this Eckert Tolle . I have had serious painful turmoil felt in my upper abdomen . Felt all day . Some relief while i sleep . Then returning as day goes on and intensifies as i am searching to get rid of it .
I bring acceptance at this moment as you say cause this is what is.
Also thankyou for the laugh at end of video 😊 much needed
Thank you 🙏🌌🤩..you are helping me so much with my anxiety.
Gratitude 🙏❤
We are fine just to be aware of the pain body!!❤🎉
Thank you Eckhart once more! 🥰
If it requires thought, feeling and use of our imagination to exist then it really doesn't require our attention or concern 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great question. Great answer!!
Accept what is external and internal. Meaning what is happening and how you feel both
Thank you Eckhart! Lot's of love and light to all! 🙏💕✨
Thank you so much for the video, I feel the same way and as I understand the healing is to accept the present as it is.
I know how this guy feels. I can awake in the morning with nothing in my head and in 1 second boom there is the pain body, hello! Remember me I’m back.
Thank you so much, Eckhart. Peace and love. 🙏
Thank you for these videos
Beautifull comment. ...I am the same. Accepting it Works. Getting ride of it is worst.
Another excellent video. Thank you!
6:32 yea so by date like the calendar Egypt. Yes believe it. The message of the light is being translated through me.. words are keys ❤❤❤
Thank you for some really fabulous speeches.
This is so true❤ the moment i said "i accept and love myself as i am now" the condition i was trying to get rid of for months simply went away 😍
To love yourself you have to be able to forgive yourself, whatever was and whatever will come. With self love comes a strong sense of awareness of everything around you. Try to practice self love everyday, its a process and not a sudden recognition, even though it can be rarely. Try to look for the same love in other beeings, try to see if they can make you feel the same. Even if its just for a short period. Repetition and awareness is the key to true change.
Being present during the solar eclipse should be one of the greatest gifts you can have to be awakening in the now or present moment for a universal connection . That connection which brings you into the power of no thought or ego . The power of the present moment where you allow yourself to be small and humble in the shadow of the moon. Now who is in control?
Wonderful.
Thank You 🙏
Thanks for the reminder Eckhart! My pain body is like fuel to practice presence and not only will it transmute the pain body but it will bring forth presence as new situations arise. 💜
I totally agree midnight. We can all see it as a fuel to practice presence and the more we practice it the easier it is to be at peace with new situations when they arise. See you later on darling. Wishing you a wonderful day my love! xo💜xo
@@stephenflood3463 Thanks for sharing my love and you too! 💜
Thanks to questioner for asking such a deep and practical question. I have been experiencing the same for the past few years.
Thanks to Eckhart for explaining it with such clarity. 🙏
Thank you very much ❤
Thank so much🙏🙏🙏
graciasss!!! 🙏
Thanks 🙏
Thank you that helped me 😊
"Be the space for it." Yin. "This is what is" with true acceptance. Yang.
what a great video. can we please teach these things in school
Wow, it is very crazy the way that he puncts at something very difficult to describe, I mean that change in the point of focus that you are having as a consciousness. The image is clear, do a step back and be there as the space where the inconsciousness is happening.
Thank you Eckhart tolle 💯🙏🙌❤️
“Bring acceptance to whatever arises at THIS moment.”
“This is what is.” Presence.
Beautiful soul you are Eckhart ❤😎
Beautifully expressed thank u Eckhart being present in ourselves in our externals & internals experience as it arises allowing it accepting it 😊
Thanks a lot always ❤
Thanks!
Beautiful video ❤
Unbearable regrets but have freedom vs life in prison, which one is worse for people who are about to die or pass away very soon?
'The obstacle is the path- Zen. The repressed emotions (pain from trauma) which are still being held within the psyche, require release. Feel it to heal it is the mantra. Remain the observer but feel deeply into the emotions that are arising (cry, shout, scream, yawn, laugh ect) until the wave of emotion (energy in motion) stop arising. Miraculously the energy is discharged. Layer by layer it clears itself when its not being pushed down or away. The mind quietens naturally. Emotions override thoughts within psyche hierarchy. You cannot be fully spiritual until you are fully human. Humans beings need to express themselves authentically and naturally, they do this via free flowing emotions, the mind can not do this function. We must Get out of our heads and into our hearts ❤ 🙏 (this is where I depart from Eckhart teachings having been in my head many many years and unwittingly repressing childhood trauma. Only when I got into these emotions did I begin to hack the mainframe and see change 🙏)
Well said Master.
Eckhart tolle that's exactly what happens to me!!! Thank you its the morning when i wake up! I try to remember to smile first thing and I choose my thoughts and the sunlight I love so much. But yeah I feel like it's attacking me as soon as i wake up
Thank you.
Omg I found the perfect picture you're absolutely identical same colours and everything to my watercolor. 😱 same head positions
powerful
Thank you
7:37 I think at night as you get closer to sleep state and you are tuning in to higher frequencies you are more comfortable with presence and this will change the next morning when you are closer to physical world.
Without the awakening of consciousness, the brain and mind are incomplete, that is why we do not feel the peace and happiness that is beyond all understanding.
Love you spirit guide
🙏 HOPE IS THE SECRET 🌐🕊️
Can that practice help dissolve the emotional pain body caused by a traumatic past event?
I would say your answer is the question
Gratitude affirmations will help heal the old ways and help you relax enough to bless the experience and forgive the lack of understanding about them. I use an 8 hour gratitude affirmation by jess shepherd on UA-cam, while i sleep which balances the subconscious mind and does the inner healing. God bless you and your dear ones 🙏
Great advice. Not easy, but solid :)
Merci
Good stuff - I like your patient explanation - I hadn't thought about the "beginnings" when "we" were all very "fishy" ... 🐟🐟
Cool video. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do I reach her?
valuable information, I just looked her up online. impressive Thank you for this..
Let go of the Why ?
The question why only asks for more love ❤
4:40 Eckhart talks about "I am not spiritual enough" to get rid of this emotion or pain body, which is an other "problem".
En francais estce possible d ecouter maitre Tolle que je suis depuis longtemps. Merci❤
How can i accept as they say yku need to ultimately accept , if everyone else is suffering please ?
for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be imbued from on high.
In thy presence is fullness of joy.
I shall be satisfied when I awake, with thy likeness.
I’ve been practicing this during my monthly woman tax….it’s a challenge but I’m proud to even be aware enough to not allow it to overpower me
Well, I would say that the solution is to ask yourself, why was the REAL reason you did what you did? In this guy's case, it would be, "Why was the real reason you decided to follow your intuition, instead of doing whatever made you the most money?" The answer to that question should lead you in the right direction. And it's important.
Some memory eraser could come in handy.
omg same..I go to sleep feeling good and wake up miserable. Idk why
You do not need to ask why - you just start feeding the pain
7:55 His truth is hilarious 😅
Don’t fall into the trap of focusing on your pain as it will become the thing that steers your mood, your relationships and the way you see yourself. By being aware of and alert to the insidiousness of your ego / pain body - You will end a legacy of pain and toxicity and create a powerful capacity to be in the present moment - a depth of peace.
Our cortisol is higher when we wake up, and maybe this man is more anxious because of that. And if anxiety is higher for purely biological reasons like more cortisol, then our mind has to come up with a reason why. Exercise or mindfulness practices right away could help.
