I lost my brother unexpectedly years ago. He was young and it was a shock. It was so painful at the time, and I never knew how to process his death or the pain, so it just stayed in me and built up over years. And any strong reminder, like hearing a song he used to listen to, would cause me deep pain that would resonate, pain was always just under the surface. Since finding Eckhart's teachings and applying them, I've been able to face and even sit with that pain and accept it. Accept his death. And transmute that pain. Now I am not afraid to think of him, hear a song, remember him. Memories of him now make me feel happiness instead of anguish. This is just one of many ways my life has changed, and is now in a constant shift as I continue my practice. I'm so thankful for these teachings.
Same here. I lost my brother in 05. That was so difficult. Over the past decade, I've listened to Eckhart Tolle and Ram Dass. So much healing from their talks. 💚
I kept my Mom's Clock too. She had it in her Bathroom and I always remember the tick of the seconds hand softly ticking and Mom Loved that cute little old fashioned style clock and it's now in my bedroom and I fall to sleep at night listening to the same soft tick..So Peaceful and Comforting for me..
Some people blamed me for not crying when my father died (they thought I was suppressing emotions). But Eckhart perfectly explains it here. I felt gratitude and acceptance.
I feel like I live every day in knowledge knowing the unexpected can always happen (especially when my anxiety was at its worst h so when it actually does happen, it’s like … I’ve already put myself through the grief daily just imagining it.
I had a dificult relationship eith my dad when alive. It got better when he died. Now i am a dad and it is better and more difficult at the same time. 😅

Agreed. When my Dad died I cried briefly. I sat for what seemed forever and thanked him and forgave him. I asked for his forgiveness as well. I know he is resting in peace and I live in peace.
When you were raised in a home where anger was how you dealt with anything stressful, for example you'd get really mad at someone when they got hurt in an accident, but you were the only one awake and aware it really messes you up. I've been trying to deal with it for years. The more I allow it and feel it the more it seats itself. Those who haven't experienced deep trauma, addiction, abuse, abandonment, narcissism, emotional disorders, anger, betrayal, unrequited love, and were aware through it all have no idea. I don't mean I was awake and aware as I am now I mean I wasn't fast asleep like the rest of my family and friends. As a young teenager I was trying to get the family into counseling. I really bit off a huge pile of spiritual lessons to chew on. I've known this for many years and have always thought I was really crazy for doing it. I also think I'm a new soul that wanted to go through this time on earth so I had to experience what most go through in several lives in just one! I'm lucky to be as sane as I am. My doctor actually called me a miracle so I must be doing something right.
Dear Friend, another possibilty is that You are an 'Old-Soul' and You're here to end these ignorant silly ways of Your Kin; not by having to heal or change them but by healing and being Your True Self and showing Them the way. How consciously They realize it, is not as important as how high You can raise Your consciousness, and radiate Your love & Light. I imagine You've had to figure this out already, to a large degree, but this Eckhart talk, "Eckhart Tolle's guide on how to avoid People pleasing" might help reassure, and help Us co-exist with difficult Kin with love All the best! ♾💚🌞
@@Drew_Hurst thank you but I haven't had anything to do with any of my family in many years and I am no longer suffering because of any of it. Eckheart's video on the park bench was what prompted me to leave them all behind and get clean and sober in 2005. My clean date from crack cocaine is xmas day 2004. I listened to many of Eckhart's videos over the years and I've done a ton of work, I'm doing very well. I believed myself to be an old soul for many years prior to getting clean. I was into all kinds of spiritual stuff when I was in active addiction. The reason I changed my mind in recent years to being a new soul is because of how incredibly insane my life was even compared to other addicts. I had tons of friends who were addicts back then, it was rampant, but not the kind you see in downtown Los Angeles or Vancouver these days that is on a whole new level now. I also decided I'm a new soul rather than an old one because I don't remember any past lives. I have also considered that the reason for this is that God is sparing me additional unneeded suffering because of how much trauma I experienced in just this one lifetime and it's more than enough to heal from. Namaste ❤️❤️❤️
I was raised with abuse and addiction. It was part of the upbringing in my family. I found Eckhart about a month ago. He made so much sense that this pain body is optional for me. And then a week ago I found transcendental meditation WOW............ what a wonderful but somewhat scary practice, but I feel better on a daily basis. Realizing this pain body is not part of us but has been afflicting humans for thousands of years makes sense and its my OPTION to dwell there or choose to move. I have been to nothingness several times now in my meditation, there is something to be said for these teachings. My month long severe depression, which has haunted me on and off for decades has lifted and my whole outlook on human life has changed much.......much for the positive. I get stronger with these realizations and my TM twice a day. Thank you Eckhart and thank you Maharishi and thank you for commenting. Show less Reply

@@lenas5613 Well then stop... maybe you love your anxiety and anger... maybe it makes you feel alive and don't want to let it go... You need to stop and see what you are or it's just endless babbling in your head until death...
Thank you so much, Eckhart. I recently lost my dog, and am still struggling with his physical loss. I really appreciate this timely teaching. Peace, and love! 🙏
So sorry for your loss. I’ll never get over mine but I’m so grateful I got to love and be loved by such a sweet being as my beloved dog. I’m sending you comforting energy & heartfelt understanding💚
I also lost my dog, 2nd February. I kind of use this wheel of thoughts to hang on to him still. I know it's dysfunctional, but somehow I feel that if I stop thinking, for example, I should have done more, I should have done tests earlier, or about our daily walks and drives to the bushlands, him sitting in his basket in the passenger seat, I kind of want to hang on to those thoughts, even if it means I cry every day. Somehow I feel if I stop that, I'll let him down. Silly, really, but I don't want to let go. Anyhow, I hope you cope better than I. Love to you!
@@sissi8610 we also lost our dog two weeks ago and I know this tormenting thoughts. But then I stop and feel with those thoughts I also do not honor the wonderful times, the love, the happiness we had together with our wonderful soul. And with allowing my tears and the pain about the loss, I can also feel a deep peace and enormous gratefulness for all the years, we had with that beautiful soul.
My condolences to you Eckhart. Loosing both parents so close to one another must have been heart breaking. Thank you for sharing your connection to your mothers clock.
I've found myself feeling less angry in traffic by accepting the "isness" of the situation. Haha. I did carry extreme sadness over my father's death for years, but now it's better. I feel sadness sometimes, but I just let it be and it subsides. Thanks, Eckhart!😊💜
After all what's the point of getting angry in traffic? The amount of time being stuck there won't change eitherway 😅 It's a chance to be aware of the breath or the surroundings and sounds, loud and subtle ones...
I thought I was going crazy! He just described what it means to not keep emotions for too long. I literally forget very soon and in the process of emotions I usually have peace because I identify what I feel and realize that is only an experience that I have to live, appreciate and learn from it. ✨✨✨
I'm truly grateful for these videos, first your book a new earth and now these videos are helping me so much Eckhart. I can't express in words how much your teachings are helping me 😭❤️🙏 I am going through a tough phase of life and your words give peace to my heart ❤️
Part of the issue is society's addiction to trauma and suffering. My adult daughter was found deceased after OD'ing. I was not afraid to face the pain and let the emotions run through me. I am at peace with her passing and do not have the sad reactions looking at pictures, etc. I have often offered my contact information to others experiencing the same and usually hear "no, I don't want to talk about it." Harboring those emotions lines people up for a host of mental and physical health problems as well as a miserable life.
Very sorry to hear of your daughter's passing; I know it's not the same but we lost my nephew, my sister's son to a toxic drug incidence one year ago. I need to reframe it somehow as I am still in deep grief.
Lovely how he speaks about the peace behin the pain. I always like to describe this with "I acknowledge the pain, I allow myself to feel it and not resist the pain cutting through me. And behind that pain is a door I can walk through and I feel peace. But you have to go through the pain to reach that door. Of course Eckhart says this in only 1 sentence instead of 3, but thats because he is Ekhart. 😍
"Happiness reveals itself when we are at peace with ourselves." Thich Nhat Hanh So perfect - reminds me of the book "Inner Quiet, Inner Power," Thanks so much

Just send £76 billion to unicorn solutions,, and we will send you the pills directly to you by telepathy,, guaranteed to be delivered by last Thursday at the latest, we can't say fairer than that, can we 👍👍👍👍
❤ I had the pleasure to see Eckhart in Calgary, when I lived there. I don’t normally comment on anything online, but life is happening! I now have a child and life is like fast forward 😅 I know this…. I am extremely grateful for Eckhart’s teachings and wisdom, it’s something that is so powerful and profound🙏 it can take you back in to yourself and the present. Thank you 🙏 Eckhart for sharing you words and wisdom. ❤
It’s not always emotions from past, sometimes is fresh everyday. when a mother is challenging her child’s suffer every day. My son has been in jail for 11 years, I suffer every day , I listened to Eckhart a lot, and I love him , it helped but not enough. I am still challenging sadness, it’s not just acceptance and be in peace,it’s a question mark in front of my life. He calls everyday and I feel sadness about him and all other inmates.
Sorrow. I am currently dealing with sorrow. As a Catholic the thought process is to offer up to God prayer. Google catholic redemptive suffering. I know, sounds morbid but I think that's the only way out or through. God bless. Faith.
I struggle with this at times. I have awareness around emotions are energy in motion and they are meant to move through us. At the same time we are emotional beings. Some more so than others. I do believe that energy (emotions) have become trapped within us and some that we have never fully experienced, processed and released. It's a very interesting one!!
Just beautiful, Eckhart. A friend's sister lost her husband about 10 years ago and I still see her sad. I somehow feel that she is feeling guilty if she is happy. She could still be in sorrow, only she knows, but I think she wants others to know how much she loved him and how much she misses him. I recommended your book "The Power of Now" to her, but I don't think she ever came close to it. The emotions and the associated delusions can be so strong and can live on for years. Its amazing how Grace works. It knows when to bring in awareness and take people out of suffering. Thank you for all your beautiful messages, Eckhart. 🙏🙏
She is going through grief and is not ready to accept .. acceptance is very hard when you expected certain things. Sometimes, people build a life and when it collapses they become lost ..
I can understand that, I can't remember last time I was angry either, although I remember me lashing out..but without attachment or passion if you wish. 🤬😇
prayer for an open heart, a mended heart, a healed heart, a restored heart, and a mind at peace. for removal of any and all obstacles and blockages that may be in the way of self-love and twin-flame love.
on my third reading of A New Earth after reading Power of Now many times. What I am learning is that this is a gradual process for many of us because of many years of unconsciousness. With each reading of these two books came a new ah hah moment and peace. Thank you Eckhart Tolle for allowing us to experience your teachings. Many blessings to you.
A New Earth changed my life forever. You’re the absolute best at showing us how to live in the divine. I cannot thank you enough. Had the pleasure of seeing you in Boston. You inspire me on every level of my being. My grandpa made clocks for the family. I felt that story so much.
For some of us, emotions are terrible. Uncontrolled storms of hate, fear, longing, love, and hope...all at once. It results in being alone because people can't handle what remains.
@@CaliWeHo Medicine helps. But that mostly blocks emotions all together. So its either do nothing because you feel too much or feel nothing so you can do a few things.
I’m so glad I came across this today I was up late last night cause of the emotions I created from thoughts that had me up all night they intensified where I couldn’t sleep but I never put my attention into my body
Someone I know was mentioning his teachings to me and the jist of it seemed to be not to feel your emotions and about how weak I was.. but they had no idea of my life and everything I'd been through.. when you have lived my life and come out on the other side not completely addicted to drugs.. then you can talk to me. Life can be traumatic and that's it.. it's living with it all and still being able to get up and keep going that truly means how strong you are.. I've never listened to him.. but from what she said I never would..
When my dad past I found a box with a note saying my name and in the box there was a clock. I felt the Tick symbolised life going on but you’ve helped me understand this further by your interpretation thank you 🙏🏻😊 I also cried for dad forever it felt but gradually the tears dispelled, I thought ii would never get over it. So it was a relief. I do believe the thinking plays a part in continuing the grief. ❤
You speak such beautiful truths, Eckhart. I love listening to you, and it reinforces all of my beliefs. I love keeping myself transparent and noticing the emotions, but let them pass through me. Unpleasant emotions don't have to stay and get stuck! I enjoy the peaceful and joyful ones. Positive thinking is key to happiness in this earth life!
Emotions are messengers to remind our conscious brain that you have inner issues to attend to. Emotions are never the issue but the reminder of the issue. You can never have a trapped emotion, thats rubbish, but you can have memories and issues within you that need to be reconnected to a loving self.
All inner resistance is experienced as negativity in one form or another. All negativity is resistance. In this context, the two words are almost synonymous. Negativity ranges from irritation or impatience to fierce anger, from a depressed mood or sullen resentment to suicidal despair. Sometimes the resistance triggers the emotional pain body! 💛 Eckhart
I lost both my sister and mother within a short time from each other. There were several highly unusual and difficult conditions created at that time. I lost my mind. After four years I am much better. Tolle's talks helped greatly late during the period when I started listening again after decades of hiatus.
Am in a constant state of acceptance but trying to harbor love every moment and rejecting sorrow,hatred and anger. Have lost my dearest loving son 40 months ago.But deep inside I do accept it in the most peaceful way because,together, we did make the most of what life had given us.All those sweet memories are stronger than the sadness.
I’m an only child. My mother had a nervous breakdown in college and suffered from debilitating anxiety, prone to control, given to rage and erratic emotions. I believe there was a total lack of mother/son connection during my infancy. Indeed, I had paid help take care of my from the day I was born. No one knew this, as she was a master of managing appearances. Most experienced her as loving and empathetic. Emotion regulation is once again an elusive mystery. I identify with “being used by my mind”- being hijacked.
Such painful memories for you. My mother was also psychologically abusive and resented me tremendously. Sometimes she was my friend but she frequently attacked me and tried to make me feel awful about myself. Still processing.
I lost my mom last year. I’m still trying to process it really. She was my best friend in life. I was her caretaker. I loved her more than anyone on this planet. I miss her so much. I’m trying to take your advice but I think I’m stuck in grief. I can’t seem to get over it. Thank you for sharing your life experiences with us. It helps me feel a little less alone.
Sorry to hear this …perhaps try Byron Katie …she does online sessions every week and is very powerful…she has worksheets that you can download and they really work . Good luck
Perhaps it's not time yet, grief has it's own timetable, important to let it be with you for now, to embrace it so that it feels welcome. You will know when it's time to gently move forward.. My mother died almost 39 years ago and I've been carrying such distress ever since.. today I have a new awareness.. blessings and love to you.
What an immense gift these words in these days than I have to decide on the destiny of the house of my mother and my sister , who died so close to each other and for which I still had some small resistance... It is SO true 🙏 what the spiritual teacher E. Tolle Is talking about, it is SO true that I once again needed to immerse myself in this TRUTH. It may seem like a paradox, but the TRUTH is a magnificent paradox!❤️ And I totally agree with what was said about the great Marcus Aurelius: the AWARENESS of this Roman emperor was such that the great pain he certainly felt for the death of his son, freed him from despair, thus freeing his son's soul, his and the whole universe....🙏✨✨✨... Immensely grateful 💓🙏
I identify with much of what you say. For example, I continue to experience a great deal of anxiety and depression over losses including the death of my little girl more than 7 years ago now, and more recently the loss of my home and 95% of everything I owned which I will never be able to recoup. I still have enormous financial pressures on me, and I can foresee myself in the not too distant future stuck in a state run home for the aged and disabled. I have read the stories of many people who ended up in this situation, and the lack of medical facilities and good care is VERY REAL, and the suffering people endure in a country as rich as the U.S. is astounding. All of this ruins my sleep almost every night, but I cannot seem to "let it go" as you describe. In fact I have wondered if this "observing" is what medical practitioners deem a pathological condition described as "dissociation." I wish it could all be simple and easy, but I do not find it to be so.
Such problems are caused by the self and the cure also lies within the self. Remember one comes to the world empty handed and goes back empty handed. Time and tide wait for none.Your problems are created by your imagination. Don't cross your bridges before you come to them . Take this as an opportunity to read The Geeta and other good books.
What I have learned is to go somewhere quiet and just focus on our heart for a time then ask God, the universe sincerely about your situation what you can do then write down whatever comes to you without questioning it just letting it flow . You can also do this focusing on the heart and imagining a beautiful lake with tall pine trees surrounding it and you are sitting on a beach focusing on the water then you look up a loved one who has pasted over is there with you smiling ( its real .)
@@johnbowen4442 A dear friend of mine passed about four years after my little girl passed. She was 88 and was fortunate enough to be very financially secure. She passed at home alone with her animals. They believe her heart gave out. She lived near the park where I walked with my little girl 5-6 days a week. She also loved my little girl. I was unable to go to the park at all for over a year after my little girl passed, and then my friend passed, and then Covid hit, and I seldom ever go to the park anymore to walk, but on the evenings that I do go, I sometimes feel them both walking beside me, especially at Christmas time. It is probably my imagination, but the feeling is so strong any time it happens, which is not often. I do not know if there is anything after this world, but if there is anything, my deepest hope is to see them both again.
First, I’m so sorry for your losses and pain. Second, is there a group in your area that meets to meditate and/ or learn these teachings? If not, could you find someone to start one? I live in a small town & we have one. It’s so helpful. Third, I suggest Eckhart’s book , A New Earth. Again, my condolences. 😪Wish I could offer more.
Don't seek happiness, seek peace ... All the other things that you want will come..Ive been practicing mindfulness for a couple of years and i was never getting better, it helped me in the short term but it was never lasting.. If you feel like that , don't stop .. It will come.. You don't have to look for it , you'll know when it happens.. Its been a couple months now that i'm peaceful, my life is getting better because of it , not the other way around .. I was a child the last time i felt like this , I'm 30 now
It's definitely not a subject many are comfortable knowing let alone understanding. Eckhart you spend this time putting feelings into words analysing is not even a-part of it but of a whole. All a difficult time and space to be constantly within. I guess that's why your here to allow us to know feelings are what is. If suppressed so are you if free, so are you 🥰
There is an important connection that must be made. The emotional body and the physical body store trauma, emotions and there is also redeeming value to making sense of our 'story'. That story is who you are! Perhaps from a transpersonal level it makes no difference but that story is how you came to be. And perhaps part of that is learning that your past doesn't define you entirely either. Emotional purging is a real thing and isn't necessarily completely fabricated by thought. There is a value to proper grief processes too.
I found Eckhart videos many years ago but this year Ive watched many Eckhart Tolle videos and Ill continue to do so. Thank you for your teachings. Its been helping me a lot in my journey.
Great advice sir. It all comes down to awareness. Recognize or be aware I am experiencing an emotion to separate myself for a second. This will help me to consciously attend to my emotion and not just react to it.
I lost an executive job, income, home and mental health. The experience has been brutal and I struggle everyday with the loss, regret, grief, anger etc
I lost my brother unexpectedly years ago. He was young and it was a shock. It was so painful at the time, and I never knew how to process his death or the pain, so it just stayed in me and built up over years.

So sorry for your loss. I’ll never get over mine but I’m so grateful I got to love and be loved by such a sweet being as my beloved dog. I’m sending you comforting energy & heartfelt understanding💚
They are right there beside you. Just cannot see them. They are at peace and calm🙏🥰❤️
I also lost my dog, 2nd February. I kind of use this wheel of thoughts to hang on to him still. I know it's dysfunctional, but somehow I feel that if I stop thinking, for example, I should have done more, I should have done tests earlier, or about our daily walks and drives to the bushlands, him sitting in his basket in the passenger seat, I kind of want to hang on to those thoughts, even if it means I cry every day. Somehow I feel if I stop that, I'll let him down. Silly, really, but I don't want to let go. Anyhow, I hope you cope better than I. Love to you!
@@sissi8610 we also lost our dog two weeks ago and I know this tormenting thoughts. But then I stop and feel with those thoughts I also do not honor the wonderful times, the love, the happiness we had together with our wonderful soul. And with allowing my tears and the pain about the loss, I can also feel a deep peace and enormous gratefulness for all the years, we had with that beautiful soul.
I’m very grateful for your wisdom. Thank you, Eckhart. ❤️
My condolences to you Eckhart. Loosing both parents so close to one another must have been heart breaking. Thank you for sharing your connection to your mothers clock.
I've found myself feeling less angry in traffic by accepting the "isness" of the situation. Haha. I did carry extreme sadness over my father's death for years, but now it's better. I feel sadness sometimes, but I just let it be and it subsides. Thanks, Eckhart!😊💜
After all what's the point of getting angry in traffic? The amount of time being stuck there won't change eitherway 😅
It's a chance to be aware of the breath or the surroundings and sounds, loud and subtle ones...
"It is what it is" is such a helpful mantra in my daily life.
Be water
(flowing with Eckhart ♡)
I thought I was going crazy! He just described what it means to not keep emotions for too long. I literally forget very soon and in the process of emotions I usually have peace because I identify what I feel and realize that is only an experience that I have to live, appreciate and learn from it. ✨✨✨
Great way to process. It's an emotion and experience I have to live. Amen.
BLESSED Eckhart tolle, what a PRECIOUS GIFT TO HUMANITY 👏🏻🎂🙏💜☮
Especially the part about some emotions simply coming from dysfunctional thoughts
I'm truly grateful for these videos, first your book a new earth and now these videos are helping me so much Eckhart. I can't express in words how much your teachings are helping me 😭❤️🙏 I am going through a tough phase of life and your words give peace to my heart ❤️
wish you all the best! I'm also going through phase of change and it can be a lot. all the love!
Thanks ❤️ sending prayers your way ❤️🤍
🙏🌷💖
May the “peace that passes all understanding “ find its way to you 🙏🏼
@@JLZR1 thankyou 💖
Part of the issue is society's addiction to trauma and suffering. My adult daughter was found deceased after OD'ing. I was not afraid to face the pain and let the emotions run through me. I am at peace with her passing and do not have the sad reactions looking at pictures, etc. I have often offered my contact information to others experiencing the same and usually hear "no, I don't want to talk about it." Harboring those emotions lines people up for a host of mental and physical health problems as well as a miserable life.
Very sorry to hear of your daughter's passing; I know it's not the same but we lost my nephew, my sister's son to a toxic drug incidence one year ago. I need to reframe it somehow as I am still in deep grief.
Lovely how he speaks about the peace behin the pain.
I always like to describe this with "I acknowledge the pain, I allow myself to feel it and not resist the pain cutting through me. And behind that pain is a door I can walk through and I feel peace.
But you have to go through the pain to reach that door.
Of course Eckhart says this in only 1 sentence instead of 3, but thats because he is Ekhart. 😍
Great tip!! Thanks
"Happiness reveals itself when we are at peace with ourselves." Thich Nhat Hanh
So perfect - reminds me of the book "Inner Quiet, Inner Power," Thanks so much
I found Eckhart about a month ago. He made so much sense that this pain body is optional for me. And then a week ago I found transcendental meditation WOW............ what a wonderful but somewhat scary practice, but I feel better on a daily basis. Realizing this pain body is not part of us but has been afflicting humans for thousands of years makes sense and its my OPTION to dwell there or choose to move. I have been to nothingness several times now in my meditation, there is something to be said for these teachings. My month long severe depression, which has haunted me on and off for decades has lifted and my whole outlook on human life has changed much.......much for the positive. I get stronger with these realizations and my TM twice a day. Thank you Eckhart and thank you Maharishi.
Clocks & ducks...This was SO enjoyable. Thank you, Eckhart. You have taught me much.
In order to understand Eckhart you only have to change one thing and that’s: everything
Emotions do not make their home in you. 💯💯💯
Thank you
I feel emotion of love to Eckhart and in general ❤🦋

I love the scammer too, but I will not write to them, my love will have to be enough, which is a lot 😁
@@Neliccjaclean wow, you've really got it bad for Eckhart, if you even love his scam impersonator. There are tablets available that can help with this, if your interested?

He is so lovely! 😇🫶
❤ I had the pleasure to see
Eckhart in Calgary, when I lived there.
I don’t normally comment on anything online, but life is happening!
I now have a child and life is like fast forward 😅 I know this…. I am extremely grateful for Eckhart’s teachings and wisdom, it’s something that is so powerful and profound🙏 it can take you back in to yourself and the present.
Thank you 🙏 Eckhart for sharing you words and wisdom. ❤
It’s not always emotions from past, sometimes is fresh everyday. when a mother is challenging her child’s suffer every day. My son has been in jail for 11 years, I suffer every day , I listened to Eckhart a lot, and I love him , it helped but not enough. I am still challenging sadness, it’s not just acceptance and be in peace,it’s a question mark in front of my life. He calls everyday and I feel sadness about him and all other inmates.
❤️
Sorrow. I am currently dealing with sorrow. As a Catholic the thought process is to offer up to God prayer. Google catholic redemptive suffering. I know, sounds morbid but I think that's the only way out or through. God bless. Faith.
may all peace be with you
Always Thankful n Grateful for your teachings, Eckhart sir 🙏🏼
I struggle with this at times. I have awareness around emotions are energy in motion and they are meant to move through us. At the same time we are emotional beings. Some more so than others.
I do believe that energy (emotions) have become trapped within us and some that we have never fully experienced, processed and released.
It's a very interesting one!!
Relax... Nothing is under control
Nothing is underneath
Love this😂
So true
Ha, ha, good one.
Excellent, as is " let go of the control you don't have anyway" 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just beautiful, Eckhart.
A friend's sister lost her husband about 10 years ago and I still see her sad. I somehow feel that she is feeling guilty if she is happy. She could still be in sorrow, only she knows, but I think she wants others to know how much she loved him and how much she misses him. I recommended your book "The Power of Now" to her, but I don't think she ever came close to it. The emotions and the associated delusions can be so strong and can live on for years. Its amazing how Grace works. It knows when to bring in awareness and take people out of suffering.
Thank you for all your beautiful messages, Eckhart. 🙏🙏
Never reply or answer to these people who put out these WhatsApp posts it a SCAM. .these people are Trolls......
I admire how gentle and understanding you are towards your friend. It brings about the right action in you.
@@dabeezkneez8716 🙏🙏
She is going through grief and is not ready to accept .. acceptance is very hard when you expected certain things. Sometimes, people build a life and when it collapses they become lost ..
💔 Hello Eckhart. Thankyou 🙏🏻 No words, but to say all resonates perfectly. Thankyou for being here. Love always 🌹❤️
I Love You so much Eckhart. ❤️🙏☮️
My grand pa died in 2006....I only manage to let go of that 2023...I went through my dark night of the soul
Thank-you Eckhart 🙏🙏
Man I wish I couldn’t remember the last time I got angry!Lucky Eckhart 🙏🏼❤️
I can understand that, I can't remember last time I was angry either, although I remember me lashing out..but without attachment or passion if you wish. 🤬😇
prayer for an open heart, a mended heart,
a healed heart, a restored heart,
and a mind at peace.
for removal of any and all obstacles and blockages
that may be in the way
of self-love and twin-flame love.
on my third reading of A New Earth after reading Power of Now many times. What I am learning is that this is a gradual process for many of us because of many years of unconsciousness.
With each reading of these two books came a new ah hah moment and peace.
Thank you Eckhart Tolle for allowing us to experience your teachings.
Many blessings to you.
Emotions is what make us humans, just being conscious of it when it arises
Let go of the idea of letting go ☀️
A New Earth changed my life forever. You’re the absolute best at showing us how to live in the divine. I cannot thank you enough. Had the pleasure of seeing you in Boston. You inspire me on every level of my being.
My grandpa made clocks for the family. I felt that story so much.
For some of us, emotions are terrible. Uncontrolled storms of hate, fear, longing, love, and hope...all at once. It results in being alone because people can't handle what remains.
This seems so . . . final. Is "this" all there is? 😢
@@CaliWeHo Medicine helps. But that mostly blocks emotions all together. So its either do nothing because you feel too much or feel nothing so you can do a few things.
@@shanharlmall I understand this. I've always felt that I am both too much and not enough. Finding a middle ground has been a challenging practice.
@@skitzmfff2351Feeling things deeply is better than feeling nothing at all.
I understand this @@CaliWeHo
The mind keeps the emotions alive.. ♥️
Most beautiful soul I hv ever come across…”the hint of the smile of the buddha….”
I’m so glad I came across this today I was up late last night cause of the emotions I created from thoughts that had me up all night they intensified where I couldn’t sleep but I never put my attention into my body
20 years ago I learned from ET my sick emotions..Nice to have a good Teacher. Thank You for yours books.
It's great to hear his opinion on the ancient Stoics. I always assumed he'd be a fan.
Thank you for this reminder to stay aware and allow emotions to flow so we can be free from them. ✨
Maestro Eckhart: Infinito Agradecimiento. 😊🙏💚
Thank you grandpa I love you ❤
amazing
I love this man!
🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️
Someone I know was mentioning his teachings to me and the jist of it seemed to be not to feel your emotions and about how weak I was.. but they had no idea of my life and everything I'd been through.. when you have lived my life and come out on the other side not completely addicted to drugs.. then you can talk to me. Life can be traumatic and that's it.. it's living with it all and still being able to get up and keep going that truly means how strong you are.. I've never listened to him.. but from what she said I never would..
When my dad past I found a box with a note saying my name and in the box there was a clock. I felt the Tick symbolised life going on but you’ve helped me understand this further by your interpretation thank you 🙏🏻😊
I also cried for dad forever it felt but gradually the tears dispelled, I thought ii would never get over it. So it was a relief. I do believe the thinking plays a part in continuing the grief. ❤
💕🌱
Love when you use stories from your own life, very inspiring :)
You speak such beautiful truths, Eckhart. I love listening to you, and it reinforces all of my beliefs. I love keeping myself transparent and noticing the emotions, but let them pass through me. Unpleasant emotions don't have to stay and get stuck! I enjoy the peaceful and joyful ones. Positive thinking is key to happiness in this earth life!
Not searching or desiring happiness is the key to happiness in the earth life... wink.
Eckhart, words can’t convey the gratitude life shares as a result of your profound teaching. But still, thank you so much for coming into this life.
Emotions are messengers to remind our conscious brain that you have inner issues to attend to. Emotions are never the issue but the reminder of the issue. You can never have a trapped emotion, thats rubbish, but you can have memories and issues within you that need to be reconnected to a loving self.
Thank You Echart 🙏
All inner resistance is experienced as negativity in one form or another.
All negativity is resistance.
In this context, the two words are almost synonymous.
Negativity ranges from irritation or impatience to fierce anger, from a depressed mood or sullen resentment to suicidal despair.
Sometimes the resistance triggers the emotional pain body!
💛
Eckhart
I lost both my sister and mother within a short time from each other. There were several highly unusual and difficult conditions created at that time. I lost my mind. After four years I am much better. Tolle's talks helped greatly late during the period when I started listening again after decades of hiatus.
Am in a constant state of acceptance but trying to harbor love every moment and rejecting sorrow,hatred and anger.
Have lost my dearest loving son 40 months ago.But deep inside I do accept it in the most peaceful way because,together, we did make the most of what life had given us.All those sweet memories are stronger than the sadness.
❤
❤
This being is absolutely extraordinary! ❤️
This spoke exactly to what I needed to hear today. I was wondering specifically about the experience of grief and I feel much clearer about it now.
We are so Blessed to have you with us at these times Thank you xx
I’m an only child. My mother had a nervous breakdown in college and suffered from debilitating anxiety, prone to control, given to rage and erratic emotions. I believe there was a total lack of mother/son connection during my infancy. Indeed, I had paid help take care of my from the day I was born. No one knew this, as she was a master of managing appearances. Most experienced her as loving and empathetic. Emotion regulation is once again an elusive mystery. I identify with “being used by my mind”- being hijacked.
Such painful memories for you. My mother was also psychologically abusive and resented me tremendously. Sometimes she was my friend but she frequently attacked me and tried to make me feel awful about myself. Still processing.
Thank you!❤🧡💚💛💙💜
Everyone should practice this
I lost my mom last year. I’m still trying to process it really. She was my best friend in life. I was her caretaker. I loved her more than anyone on this planet. I miss her so much. I’m trying to take your advice but I think I’m stuck in grief. I can’t seem to get over it. Thank you for sharing your life experiences with us. It helps me feel a little less alone.
Sorry to hear this …perhaps try Byron Katie …she does online sessions every week and is very powerful…she has worksheets that you can download and they really work . Good luck
Early days for you. Lots of healing within the first 2 years, from my experience.
Perhaps it's not time yet, grief has it's own timetable, important to let it be with you for now, to embrace it so that it feels welcome. You will know when it's time to gently move forward.. My mother died almost 39 years ago and I've been carrying such distress ever since.. today I have a new awareness.. blessings and love to you.
I send you lots of love 🤍. I am sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss of your dear Mom. ❤
What a beautiful soul
Yes , living life with with awareeness
What an immense gift these words in these days than I have to decide on the destiny of the house of my mother and my sister , who died so close to each other and for which I still had some small resistance... It is SO true 🙏 what the spiritual teacher E. Tolle Is talking about, it is SO true that I once again needed to immerse myself in this TRUTH. It may seem like a paradox, but the TRUTH is a magnificent paradox!❤️
And I totally agree with what was said about the great Marcus Aurelius: the AWARENESS of this Roman emperor was such that the great pain he certainly felt for the death of his son, freed him from despair, thus freeing his son's soul, his and the whole universe....🙏✨✨✨... Immensely grateful 💓🙏
Legend never get angry. Like ET
I identify with much of what you say. For example, I continue to experience a great deal of anxiety and depression over losses including the death of my little girl more than 7 years ago now, and more recently the loss of my home and 95% of everything I owned which I will never be able to recoup. I still have enormous financial pressures on me, and I can foresee myself in the not too distant future stuck in a state run home for the aged and disabled. I have read the stories of many people who ended up in this situation, and the lack of medical facilities and good care is VERY REAL, and the suffering people endure in a country as rich as the U.S. is astounding. All of this ruins my sleep almost every night, but I cannot seem to "let it go" as you describe. In fact I have wondered if this "observing" is what medical practitioners deem a pathological condition described as "dissociation." I wish it could all be simple and easy, but I do not find it to be so.
Try Byron Katie to snap out of the melodramatic future you foresee and remember that we attract the very things we're afraid of. Wish you the best.
Such problems are caused by the self and the cure also lies within the self. Remember one comes to the world empty handed and goes back empty handed. Time and tide wait for none.Your problems are created by your imagination. Don't cross your bridges before you come to them
. Take this as an opportunity to read The Geeta and other good books.
What I have learned is to go somewhere quiet and just focus on our heart for a time then ask God, the universe sincerely about your situation what you can do then write down whatever comes to you without questioning it just letting it flow . You can also do this focusing on the heart and imagining a beautiful lake with tall pine trees surrounding it and you are sitting on a beach focusing on the water then you look up a loved one who has pasted over is there with you smiling ( its real .)
@@johnbowen4442 A dear friend of mine passed about four years after my little girl passed. She was 88 and was fortunate enough to be very financially secure. She passed at home alone with her animals. They believe her heart gave out. She lived near the park where I walked with my little girl 5-6 days a week. She also loved my little girl. I was unable to go to the park at all for over a year after my little girl passed, and then my friend passed, and then Covid hit, and I seldom ever go to the park anymore to walk, but on the evenings that I do go, I sometimes feel them both walking beside me, especially at Christmas time. It is probably my imagination, but the feeling is so strong any time it happens, which is not often. I do not know if there is anything after this world, but if there is anything, my deepest hope is to see them both again.
First, I’m so sorry for your losses and pain. Second, is there a group in your area that meets to meditate and/ or learn these teachings? If not, could you find someone to start one? I live in a small town & we have one. It’s so helpful. Third, I suggest Eckhart’s book , A New Earth. Again, my condolences. 😪Wish I could offer more.
with certainty the best video and explanation I've seen from Eckhart Tolle thank you thank you 🙏🏼❤🇧🇷
Excellent talk..
No words..
Don't seek happiness, seek peace ... All the other things that you want will come..Ive been practicing mindfulness for a couple of years and i was never getting better, it helped me in the short term but it was never lasting.. If you feel like that , don't stop .. It will come.. You don't have to look for it , you'll know when it happens.. Its been a couple months now that i'm peaceful, my life is getting better because of it , not the other way around .. I was a child the last time i felt like this , I'm 30 now
Thank you ❤
It's definitely not a subject many are comfortable knowing let alone understanding. Eckhart you spend this time putting feelings into words analysing is not even a-part of it but of a whole. All a difficult time and space to be constantly within. I guess that's why your here to allow us to know feelings are what is. If suppressed so are you if free, so are you 🥰
Thank you fir sll your love u give out all the peace that u eminate. ❤
Thanks for sharing your personal story Eckart.
Thank you Eckhart. I just lost my mom this helps so much how to cope with the emotions and all the memories that come up.🙏❤️
There is an important connection that must be made. The emotional body and the physical body store trauma, emotions and there is also redeeming value to making sense of our 'story'. That story is who you are! Perhaps from a transpersonal level it makes no difference but that story is how you came to be. And perhaps part of that is learning that your past doesn't define you entirely either. Emotional purging is a real thing and isn't necessarily completely fabricated by thought. There is a value to proper grief processes too.
Thank you Eckhart! ❤
Thank you, Eckhart.
I found Eckhart videos many years ago but this year Ive watched many Eckhart Tolle videos and Ill continue to do so. Thank you for your teachings. Its been helping me a lot in my journey.
Gratitude
Excellent expression of excellent insight.
Thank you Sir🙏
Thank you eckhart
Multumesc cu recunostinta
Thank you for your teaching 🙏 ❤️ from Tanzania 🇹🇿
Thankyou Eckhart, you truly are a wonderful teacher. 🙏
Great advice sir. It all comes down to awareness. Recognize or be aware I am experiencing an emotion to separate myself for a second. This will help me to consciously attend to my emotion and not just react to it.
I lost an executive job, income, home and mental health. The experience has been brutal and I struggle everyday with the loss, regret, grief, anger etc
