Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most original and inspiring spiritual teachers of our time. He travels and teaches throughout the world.
Eckhart is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition, but excludes none. His profound yet simple and practical teachings have helped thousands of people find inner peace, healing and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of his teachings lies the transformation of individual and collective human consciousness - a global spiritual awakening.
Eckhart Tolle is the author of The Power of Now, a #1 New York Times Bestseller, which has been translated into 32 languages and become one of the most influential spiritual books of our time.
In his most recent book, A New Earth, he shows how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world.
Our thoughts cheat us out of peace of mind. It’s so important to choose our thoughts with care. The mind is a garden and we must weed out the thoughts that stifle self.
In short, stop getting distracted. Recognize a distraction quickly for what it is and choose to stop focusing on it.
Watching this is a distraction😂..for me.
Self-absorption equals depression and unhappiness in general. Not having the relationship with the self, as Eckhart teaches, results in such personal freedom that you feel like every day is unique, fresh and special.
When people are self-involved they don't see the beauty of the world. This world is indeed created for our joy. It's so lovely to see the sky changing every hour, to experience rain, sunny days and snow.
All this creates happiness when you are mindful. All this is missed by those identified with the unhappy me.
Yes, we can observe the beauty of creation every day
and the presence of life within it..🙏🙏
@ag niesz you missed the point. Eckhart teaching is not for the wealthy but for thr one who is poor within. You are acting like a victim wgivh is where your perceived view and problem thrive
This was just what I needed to hear. I’ve been going through a constant anxious/depressive episode for the past two months, and I am kind of understanding that I’m identifying with the “unhappy me”.
I have Eckhart’s book the Power of Now, but I’m scared that it will contradict the CBT therapy I am receiving right now that’s treating my anxiety/depression.
The past few months I have been switching between grateful mindfulness and a deeply unhappy identification with ego along with some addictions.
Days go by on autopilot, but yeah.
There’s nothing wrong with the self. It’s the false self (ego) that creates conflict. But when you give your full attention to the self then as projection will have it all you can see outside of you is the self and what emotion other than love has the capability to survive in such a state.
I'm sure all of you who see this video will go on to have a tranquil and peaceful day 😊🙏

Dr. James Cooke And you commenting on this post gets the attention of myself and others who are learning this, and the focus of your comment is on the reader witch is appreciated , and therefore yes I clicked on your picture and now I am subscribed to you as well. 😃 Have a wonderful day!! 💗 Hope your channel keeps growing. 😊
Wonderfull day en blessings 🙏😁
It's 1 at night, I first would like to have a sleep please 🙏
I love the humor in this video. And it just goes to show that life isn't that serious. That our journey can be as lighthearted and carefree as we allow it. A beautiful thought to realize then let go.
It’s just a ride. - Bill Hicks
@@redwingsfan3621 Yep. Bill knew it. Funny how a humorous mind can make you more aware .
@@redwingsfan3621 cheesehead
a guy i knew, his brother in Minnesota would aquire a big cheap car, hand paint it purple, rims & trim white & drive it loaded, with friends to a game in Green Bay Wisconsin & for like 10 bucks u could whack the car with ur choice of assorted implements...😳
When we think and overthink about the future, about our past and about situations that are completely out of our control, we're not living, we're not in the present moment. Practicing being mindful and present, life is here and now
🙏
@@ThePoehladian sending love and the best energies your way!
@@ErikaK Thanks friend, you as well.
Very true. Thanks for sharing.
I disagree that thinking about the past and the future is not living. In fact, that’s a horrible way to look at what we think about. Sure, it’s good to be balanced or aware of how much we are living in the now essentially ... and many people need to do this more... like they need to eat more fresh fruit and veg... but, it is essential that we learn from the past and often savor the past as well as consider the future.
I too deleted all social media and basically stopped watching tv , I went within and am trying to find clarity
It is hard to break an addiction. I need to do that too.
Namaste meow
You don't have to stop anything by force, it is what you are thst matters and what you "do" with your other associations.
What are the steps you took to delete all social media. I've been trying to do that, but it's not easy.
@@debrathornquist2465 I'm addicted to Eckhart Tolle's videos!
Use "silent mode" always. Only see notifications and messages when YOU want to see it. It should never interrupt anything. I don't even have sound on my incoming calls. I just call them back when i check my phone. or not..
I did that, but I had to check again and again if I was missing an important call or message
@@MegaSaanch true
Earth Changes
What do you classify as important?
Nick Something related to work..
Great
My mind took me back to my problems for more than half of this video..so now I'll re-watch it till I grasps his teachings.
Yep I have the boomerang thought process too.
That thoughtless bliss is the most powerful state, where great ideas and creativity is born.
I wish more people could reach that state more often.
Yes💝
someday it will be somehow utilized to enslave everyone, but it will be the best slavery
Yes, so nice.... I began to imagine everyone being there already... and I started to see evidence of it. 👁⭐
@@EvenStarLoveAnanda nice flow 👁⭐
@@alcosmic slavery to freedom, yes.
Still reeling from a personal loss of a relationship and these videos help me come to the present and accept this is what is. I can’t fight it. Denying it won’t make it untrue. I’m afraid I’ll never have a relationship in my life again but that fear is my ego talking. Moreover, it assigns importance’s to an external person to my value. So I’m going to just let go and breathe and tell myself this is what the universe needed. And where we are. And the universe will provide.
Thought is *CONSTANT.* You must listen without judgement, talk well to yourself, and take action that impacts your thoughts positively.
I just read a book where its channeled from Jesus. Thought is ego over riding us as it wants total control.
I like your words meow
Doesn't have to be constant.
@D M Thoughts are not to be hated. Thinking all the time is unnecessary and causes unhappiness. Constructive thinking and pleasant thoughts are good, but our mind doesn't need to be making noise all the time. The freedom from mental noise is true peace, bliss.
@@angelgirldebbiejo Jesus possibly could have been a Buddhist monk. His teachings are very similar to the Buddha. That would explain where he was at from age 13 to 30.
Eckhart a day keeps the ego away. Hope you are being peaceful and present
Thank you Eckart for being my North whenever chaos finds me. You are a very bright light on my path and for that i am super grateful. OneLove!
I turned off all notifications on my phone and it’s been a miracle. I take time to respond to messages on my own time. If it’s an emergency just physically call me. Anything else can wait. 30 years ago, you couldn’t even contact anyone unless they were physically at home by their phone, with no voicemail.
Longer ago than that...
Moments of clarity is the goal. It’s the best we can hope for.
I love you Mr. Tolle. Your explanations help me so much. God bless you.
there is no god.
he believes him self.
Be present every moment of your life! That's all you need to do in this world🙏🏼🙏🏼
When someone breaks a plate or is shouting behind me, I always don't look in that direction because I already know what happened and turning around would change nothing. Yet everyone else turns around to see and I always feel so pressured to look as well just because other people probably think it's odd that someone wouldn't immediately direct their attention to the noise.
This video has cured my insomnia, thank you !
Connect to the one who is experiencing the thoughts. Begin to reside in this place consciously and slowly your thoughts will become like clouds passing away.
"connect" to the one, what does that even mean

The experiencer and the experienced
.
You can experiment with this for yourself very simply and very easily. Next time you are angry or jealous or greedy or violent or whatever it may be, watch yourself. In that state, “you” are not. There is only that state of being. The moment, the second afterwards, you term it, you name it, you call it jealousy, anger, greed; so you have created immediately the observer and the observed, the experiencer and the experienced. When there is the experiencer and the experienced, then the experiencer tries to modify the experience, change it, remember things about it and so on, and therefore maintains the division between himself and the experienced. If you don’t name that feeling-which means you are not seeking a result, you are not condemning, you are merely silently aware of the feeling-then you will see that in that state of feeling, of experiencing, there is no observer and no observed, because the observer and the observed are a joint phenomenon and so there is only experiencing.
JK.
In order to be enlightened, you must have death of the ego. If you do not let your ego die, then that is where your ceiling will lie. No matter how much you meditate how many breaths. You can't break that ego glass ceiling, unless it is dead. There is a very very big difference between the loving yourself you must love yourself. In order for you to receive love you must be able to understand love and you must be able to give love back. Love is not ego. Ego is almost exact opposite of love. I really find your conversation extremely enlightening and I've never quite looked at it that way so.,I'm impressed!
@HAYAO LEONE lmfao.... I feel really sad for you right now. Keep feeding your ego , more keep feeding it. Yeah you go there , you're the best person in the world you are so much better than everybody else you ego you hold on that, cuz that's all you got. Sorry you're lost I feel bad for you. If you look up any type of meditation and moving through other dimensions because we are quantum beings you must have death of the ego I feel sorry for you.
Peace and love to all,may your minds be at peace this week
He is so calme and funny ...love it
im so glad i found eckhart tolle..
didnt really know at first what triggers my anxiety and depression and i didnt pay attention how stress affects ur life..
im working on myself eventhough sometimes i find myself trap in thoughts but i am able to drop them and not follow through it..
it could hard sometimes but im getting a hold of it..
Father I thank you that you have the Power to deliver from over thinking. Now its done. Just like that
This has helped me so much to calm down. I over think.
Thank you Eckhart for doing this videos! 🙂💖🙏🏻🕊
I meditated to this and practiced focusing on the present moment of listening. Of course I wandered, but I started this a month ago and I see improvement.
This guy is a Tue messenger, in whatever form applys to you x
one of my favourite sentient beings! the giggle proves he's right!
Even his coughs sounds relaxed. 👍
Right?? I love it.
This really helped me during a sudden period of anxiety
Thank you for holding a space for me to find my presence. I love hearing you reminding me I can take my thought and direct it back to now. Namaste`
Whether the thoughts appear by way of a phone and others voicing them or whether they are already in your head based on what others said earlier, you can always choose to think them or not.
I love Eckhart, and I love his humor, the more I practice presence, the more everyone looks like zombies to me, especially when driving everyone is looking at their phone so they drive sporadically, I feel like a dolphin in an overpopulated sea of turtles trying to maneuver around every car that's driving itself with a zombie at the wheel, it really does feel like the movie zombie has come to life
@@LouisCNNews yes thanks for reminding me, is that also the zombie state?
the Wim Hof method helps me a lot to calm my mind. the cold seems to shift the energy in the body away from the thinking mind and towards more basic parts. funny enough that is a total no brainer - just take a really cold shower. no
mental anything needed. And no, you dont need a ice bath to get started.
Thank you for your hard work and have a profitable day 💗💗💗
You are not alone, Im with you.
Slow your breathing and shift focus on breath. Train mind / reprogram.

So many people need to get out of their modern slavery-relationship with their gadgets and realize they can be put to good use, like accessing this video, without having any power to direct your attention involuntarily.
...very much similar to how we should treat our minds. Like a noisy smart phone who needs some serious notification control, silencing-scheduling etc. Luckily such options do exist, although most choose not to use them for their own well-being, unfortunately... 😇
I use it to read ETs books that i have downloaded on Kindle app...that's pretty much what i do ...
It's so true that we can choose our thoughts and can able to drop it.. Thank you Sir
Its YOU that didn’t drop it.
Thank you Eckhart. That was lovely and very useful.
All so simple. Awareness to breathing or 💎 Mindful Conscious Breathing 💎 is a doorway to that ease and comfortable space of consciousness allows us to be present in the moment, in the now. 👁⭐
Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful and very helpful video.
I don't only fallow my terrifying negative thoughts l believe them.l struggle with anxiety and depression for nearly 10 years but last 18 months l literally stop doing anything l mean l stop working,going out,socialising and everything.
I am writing this comment from my bed,l really really scared all the time if l go out l might faint or have heart attack,because l feel dizzy mist of the time.l sometimes forget who l am and what l used to before l end up like that ,l really really missed myself and want to go back to normal again and enjoy the life.l will carry on watching your videos and maybe one day l will change and go out and start working again .
I am sorry l wrote too much but l really wanted to share my thoughts and share how l feel.
Thank you very much again.
Dream Ocean - when I was a teen I had debilitating anxiety. Im 53 now and have done very well for 30 years. For me, I take a small dose of Citalopram (10mg 4-5 times a week before bed)… and meditate with ET, Alan Watts and Mooji… but you can find out what works for you. And you will. Don't fight it, just watch it... allow it to do its thing until it runs out of energy. You will be yourself again... only better.
Steve Simpson Thank you so much for your advice and trying to helping me,l appreciate a lot,l really hope l will come back to myself again one day.Have a great day.
@@dreamocean3598 sorry to hear about your pain and glad you are on your healing journey. Hope you have read The Power of Now by ET. In case it interests you I would recommend you follow Joe Dispenza's teachings. People have received miraculous physical, mental and emotional healings by following his work. You can view his videos on CZcams to get an idea of his methods. ( His interviews with London Real, Tom Bilyeau, Leslie Howes are especially inspiring). You needn't spend a lot of money by attending his workshops, just by reading his books, especially Break The Habit of Being Yourself, you can do amazing self-healing. Good luck. Sorry hope I haven't been too pushy!
My channel dispels anxiety.

I have LIVED on both sides. 50 years ago our "world" was smaller. It revolved around our neighborhood, family, friends. The phone was used as a tool to reach out when we needed to. "Long distance" calling was not a factor: too expensive and poor connections. Television was on for a couple hours in the evening for "family time."
Today we can speak to anyone on any part of the globe at any time. Texting was a way to send info quickly and get a response quickly. Our circle enlarged in our personal lives and in our professional lives. Information literally at our fingertips via computer technology made businesses more efficient and also quickened the pace at which we lived our daily lives. Who had time for meditation? People were at the beach on vacation with their laptops, in lines at banks and grocery stores with their phones in hand, texting and catching up on the latest news.
I am 68 now, retired 2 years ago. Somewhere in my early 50's I began to turn my attention back to a quieter more peaceful time....what was missing? This was the spiritual seed that was planted in me since the day I was born. I loved looking at the stars from as far back as I can remember, in awe, inspired, feeling the pull of some Cosmic energy, wanting to "know"....whatever that meant. But this "seed" had not been nourished for decades as I got caught up in other "thoughts".
Enter meditation and a growing distaste for the hustle and bustle in my life. Turning inward, I began to water " that seed"....and THAT seed turns out to be so important....it was me but not just me. It continues to grow, soft tendrils enveloping my life, lifting me up, higher....to see...that seed is "We".....
Life is a journey. I am grateful for every step of the way. Namaste. Blessings to all. ❤️🔥🙏🏼
Fog and sunshine is wonderful! And if there is snow, too, it's even greater. Thank you Eckart. I just needed this information. 📱
This is so helpful. I will start training my focus and challenge my distractions through meditation.
First I though to mute notifications on my phone and choose an specific moment to answer it, but I can see the really useful of the exercise and it is strengthening the ability to choose no matter what is happening outside, count to three, and choose where I’m going to direct my attention. I’m going to try it.
Thank You so much dearest 💐
You’re such an inspiration 🥰
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏😇
Thank you 🙌
Yeah Namaste, except for those of us with OCD and comorbid disorders. Sometimes choice is illusory, but it's still worth a try. I knew he would get around to meditation. Thank you Eckhart ....
I am a medical practitioner. Eckart Tolle. I mentioned your practices to my colleagues and they don’t seem to grasp the concept... I try to... and I feel the benefits
One of the first things I experienced in the realm of freedom of thought was that,most of my thoughts were not my own ! Of course one must know without a shadow of doubt that your present thinking when you realize , ( IS THAT your thinking independently ! )
Thank you Eckhart 🙏 💖 ✨
Thank you so much Eckhart… my cell phone is always on silent exactly for that reason 🙏💜🙏
Love his humor! So true about our devices!
Thank you Eckhart.
I like the very end where he says you not need to follow your thoughts you can just drop them. Or recognize it as a old thought and then it dissolves
i dream the day Eckart and sadhguru will meet. it'll be amazing
GAIA 5D Light Do you think Sadhguru would be worried one bit by moon’s comment? If not, then why should you be concerned about it?? Peace.
@@gaiablue7113 whats the point of listening to Sadhuguru when you re threatening someone on an internet ? still Sadhuguru is fraud ,he does teach some fake things .there re better Gurus in India.
it's funny to see how some people are fighting to define which one beetween eckart and sadhguru is the best. that prove they didn't get nothing from the teaching those wonderful person give to us. so sad
@@lawhadanss we re not fighting.do you know, passing out news also contributes to survival of our species.oh ,yea,you like both of the wise people,so you must be a wise person that can see the fighting in between the people .trying to point out the stupidity of us and what you ve seen in them.you ve proved their teachings otherwise and you ve shown yourself as well.
What does it matter if they meet? You sound like a fan of two pop stars who is so over-enamoured with both of them you make a statement like this? Would it not be better to follow the suggestions in the talks? It's all there. Hint: 'WHEN' is this meeting to happen? Now...?
Thanks for reminding me,I need that.I'll practice that.
I just ordered A New Earth, and another copy of the power of now. I'm excited to read the newest book.

Thought is an energy form. There is nothing physical you can do about it, but it pulls your attention and makes you think.
You can choose the direction of your attention, rather than let it be dictated.
You can direct your attention to your right hand, your foot, or an object. It won't affect your physical abilities to function.
Thanks Eckhart. ☕🐿♥️🍑🏇📯🏜🏖
Thanks Eckhart.
I deleted my instagram and Twitter. every time i had nothing to do (or when i had things to do but i procastinate which is even worse) i would pick my phone and see others peoples life or i would start thinking negative patterns. Now i can feel myself and be more present. I approach it as if i died, so no past, planning the future, but staying and realizing the present is where i am.
Great great great! Direct simple and clear, thank you Eckhart!
I tend to have thoughts when I'm in a familiar environment, or when I'm doing routine things like showering or eating. I've tried focusing on what I'm doing but I sometimes fail and I would messed things up a lil like dropping my clothes on wet floor or eating too much at once.
Thank You
Thank you Eckhart ♥️✨🕊️
Pulling power of thoughts and external things vs no pull from awareness. Choose, direct your attention.

Thanks, Master. This has been one of your most valuable messages for my life

Good stuff, true freedom is freedom from the self/ the lower self
Great teaching!! I read and still have his book : " The Power Of Now" and still try practicing his teachings. Always helps to be in the present even with iphones!!!
