Can we take a moment to recognize this mom? Here is an apparently single mom of three who is aware enough of how important her own inner work is that she found a way to attend this conference. Kudos to you sister, for your heart, for your desire to grow, and for your recognition that being a good mom to your boys means being a "whole person" yourself. I'd hazard to intuit that you're a really good mom and your boys are blessed to have you.

I literally say " pause" in my head when i feel like i'm about to react. I might look dumb to many, slow, but in fact i'm tuning in with myself and emotions that are present within, at that moment. Only after that pause ( where i take two or three conscious breaths) that i respond to a situation. I even had people asking me " uhhhh, are you there, hello??? " And i always say: hold on a minute. I don't care how it looks on the outside , i might have seemed lost to some, but i am not. I am right there. More than ever. I just won't let anger take over me again, even if that means that i may look detached or passive.

What just struck me is that if anyone has issues of reactivity, to sit and write down a list of triggers or situations that you know for sure. When you write them down, you tend to remember them easier. Then when you become aware of those but still react, you can then apologize for it (if needed, to yourself and to others). After that, over time you will find yourself being more responsible for yourself in that way. I am so happy to be in this process, as i have been extremely reactive my entire life (i'm 50 in january).

Whether that’s a need for help from others, a request of the child etc, all important. Sometimes, we have gotten into patterns of denying our own needs and boundaries.

How many people wake up in a jail cell after "losing it" and cannot understand how they could do such a thing. They cannot even recall what happened. How the Ego loves negativity. It talked you into acting unconsciously and then berates you for doing what you did. I clearly see this and yet time and time again, I fall into the same trap. Listening to the mind/ego. It is like an addiction. You clearly see what is happening but, due to conditioning, you must react unconsciously.

"The most important thing here is my consciousness" , and all external reactions , although seemingly righteous, fail in comparison to such a realization. Let the noise happen. "Surrender to it" . "The noise goes right thru you". WOW so much simpler said than done. I am hopeful for others to realize such a higher mindset, and maintain it, just as I strive myself.

Hi

I have seen Eckhart 3 times in London - he's amazing

Practicing means "I forgive myself again and again so I can carry on more aware. I won't lose it again intentionally but unconsciously. And I'll see it when it happens and hug myself again."

That's me a single mom to 2 boys... It's taken a toll on me for many years and still is as my oldest son triggers all kinds of emotions and makes me not only angry but cry for days and days... Now I learned not to be guilted any more and just let t be... My only problem is I don't want them to be hit by karma of their poor choices!

Eckhart Tolle and Kurt Tepperwein are really a blessing for all Humanities this time. If everyone will listen to their words and follow what they speak, this World will be a better place. Its hard when you are awake and everybody around you is still sleeping. Is very sad sometimes to feel alive, when the rest of peoples in this world, just existing.

This man is such a precious treasure! 🙏👍❤️❤️❤️

This is the best Q&A portion yet. ❤ Eckhart gives banger after banger and with such ease too.

Finally learned the truest meaning of that age old saying, "I'm going to lose it". Love happiness and prosperity ☯️🙏💛

Thank you so much, Eckhart. I am definitely dealing with the anger-reaction and old egoic habit, and realize directly or a minute afterwards. Good to realize that after I get angry and notice afterwards, at least noticing afterwards means I am awareness again. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks.

This is exactly what I’m dealing with and what I’m trying to learn. This pandemic has made me realize I couldn’t control what my parents and family decide to do. Go out or not wear a mask, etc. I had huge conflicts within myself with my reactions and surrendering control and frustration.

The mind creates reality. Wearing a mask or not is not the issue.. controlling the mind is. I’ve not worn a mask once in London and people have coughed or sneezed near me and I just controlled my mind ‘it’s a smokers cough’ ‘they must have hay fever’. What people don’t realise as they are not awake is that the mind creates the result not the thing outside. That’s why a deadly virus cannot harm animals or children .. because they give it no attention.. also they live in the NOW so no thought pattern.. they aren’t in fear or worry. They just live in the NOW. What people don’t realise is a virus won’t select who to infect.. it’s the mind that creates the result. We are all creating our own reality in the world. So even if a person does test positive in their reality and they sneeze on me.. in my mind I’ll change it to ‘hay fever’ so my mind changes it in my reality and body is protected ❤️

I’m so sorry. I am asking the angels to comfort and surround you.

I like to think my Mama is my #1 Guardian Angel. My old Guardian Angel needed to retire anyhow because I really put her through it. She only had one wing and was stuck flying in circles. 😇😉

I’m so sorry 😢 hugs and caring thoughts to you ❤️

Tolle's example about the jackhammer is in fact EXACTLY what happened during one session of our college meditation club. The loud noise continued throughout the session and stopped about when the session was over. I think for the most part we reacted in the skillful way Tolle suggests.

Becoming conscious is the best thing modern social media can do to this world.

this video made me laugh and cry and forgive my self. Eckhart Tolle, magic

Thank you for being present during these tough times. I know the guilt can keep me stuck at times. I really like what you said about it being her Spiritual practice. I react alot with my partners unconscious behavior, the denial, or the justification really get to me and I then react and lose it, good message about when you react to toxic energy you become part of it unknowingly. Thanks again for your Wisdom friend.

Thankyou Eckhart for helping me in being more alert and present, i have come a long way from where i was and i continue to learn my way being more present with each passing moment🙏🏻

How do you that? I am grateful to know. Thks

I got this video when I actually needed it. This worlds need a spiritual leader like him🌺

Such a simple, yet powerful teaching. I needed this today

I’m so grateful to have found this tonight

This video has got to be the most impactful one I have seen yet. My interactions with my mother/greatest trigger have completely changed. I have so much more consciousness when interacting with her and I no longer ‘lose it’. 🙂

I really relate to this mom; I have been having a similar problem lately. it’s so helpful being reminded of how we can be a better witness to hostile emotions, particularly the point on not judging yourself for “losing it.”

Lucky to be living in Eckhart's time !!

This is such a great message to all the parents with small children! Thank you

it's a great message for us all, as adults also behave as children ..😂

From the deepest Part of my heart, thank you Eckhart ❤️

My goodness this man is so wise

Ok moms! Let’s accepting loosing it sometimes and keep moving forward! ❤️

Adorable and so loving towards that Being...and all.....and such clear explanation of the mechanism of.mind made suffering.... Thank GOD for your awakening and sharing truth for a more awakened world..🙏🌍🙏🌍 Hugs...

I can relate to her. I just have one son and a supportive husband still I get her reactivity. And I understand the guilt part too. You're a great mom.

This lecture reminds me of the Lucinda Williams song, “I Lost It”. She sings about losing something important to her and accepts the loss replacing it with love and authenticity.

And yet, all the guided meditations out there suggest us to find ourselves in a quiet place, silent. But i understand that it's the best way to start meditating. But as Mr.Tolle says it so well here...you have to take it further, even when the environment is not so calm. That's why i meditate with my windows open in summer, i hear cars passing by, noises, and it becomes part of it all. I also do it on the bus. It never stops getting easier and better. I consider meditation as a survival behaviour i truly need, today. It's only this year that i made the commitment to meditate every single day, just as i brush my teeth daily for a good dental health; it's a mental health habit. I can't go without it, just as i wouldn't forget to brush my teeth. Some people don't like Mr.Tolle, but he speaks to my human condition, make it easy to understand for me. Thank you for this.

Thank you, dear Eckhart, this subject of reactivity is beautifully explained for what it is, with the moment of awareness after "losing it". I've noticed that the practice of observing what happens, and what's likely to trigger a reaction in me, is fruitful when familiar thought patterns begin to run through my mind and I can stop that stampede, and choose a point of view that is a choice instead of an instinctual response. And family patterns show up also!

One thing I like to practice that has helped me with shame and guilt immensely was not judging myself after the reaction and telling myself “I know that I reacted but I forgive myself because it wasn’t me who reacted. It was the conditioning.” And then try to surrender to triggering situations like Tolle has mentioned

This mom continues to awaken. Love it

I believe this dialogue just saved my soul. Thank you to E.T and to the lady who engaged this question. ❤️

Deep sense of gratitude always, and especially to the lady for sharing and expressing what she experiences. I, we, many can relate to...(I experience this plenty of times, on daily occasion) This information helps very much and explains what we go through on a routine basis...Dear Mr. Eckhart Tolle, everybody, "Thank you always!!!" Love you, Love thy neighbors, Love thyself, Love for the Universe...Thank you, Infinitely, Indeed!!! Namaste❤🙏

Thank you! So meaningful to me! I always thought I needed to get “rid” of the stressors but they are the practice. Beautiful ☺️

Yeah but you do need a break from them ❤️

Feeling a sudden rise in consciousness. This wave, through which world is changing, is beautiful. Thank you Eckhart, now and forever. ❤

Thank you for sharing this. It gave me such a deep appreciation for my own circumstances, annoyances, disruptions, etc. I realize now these are my own tailor-made opportunities for practicing presence and going deeper. What a blessing they are, lol!🥰

I needed this SO bad!! I was trying to meditate today and trying to make it a quiet place, perfect pose, ideal location etc... all the things we think it should be. He helped me to realize it doesn’t have to be! Also, needed this as I have a 5 year old daughter and my roommate has a 7 year old on the weekends. You never cease to amaze me Eckhart! Thank you!!!

Thank you, with this Anger "situation" am I dealing with also , for a few days werry strongly. And actually I have no reason for. I am gonna take your advice. You are a beutiful soul and exceptional messenger. 💖💖💖

Believe me, I've been dealing with it for over 30 years, unconsciously. Only after a mental breakdown, just over a month ago, I've finally woken up. I have a long way to go to finding some peace, but at least we're on the road to recovery. At least we're aware now. That in itself is beautiful.

Note to self: 'When unconscious neighbours allow their dogs to bark continuously it is an opportunity for me to go deeper into meditation'. (love dogs, can't say I feel the same about unconcerned/irresponsible owners).

Exactly (Love dogs too)place your attention on the sound of the dogs barking dont "do" anything ..& there is a peace stillness there..always😊

I want to say thank you!! At random I saw a video of you were you read from your Book about the ego! I got frightened about it because I could really see that you are true and that the ego lives inside of me and my mother! I really was scared but I wanted to know more about it because it was so true I couldn’t deny it! For several years I watched your Videos and also those form beautiful mooji and you helped me very much finding my self! I still see sometimes the ego coming back but I am not so strong attached to it and therefor I am really thankful! In some years or maybe even from now on I can life completely without the ego. I don’t know if you are going to read this but whether you do or don’t, I Hope you know how thankful I am to you and also thankful for the love you spread to the world!
