How to Stop Creating Suffering | Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart Tolle offers practical advice on using unhappiness as a signal to return to presence and awareness. He explains that recognizing moments of unhappiness as indicators of lost presence can help individuals shift their focus back to the present moment, stopping the cycle of suffering. Eckhart Tolle emphasizes the importance of mindfulness, observing the mind, and questioning the validity of mental narratives to disengage from harmful thought patterns. By understanding and transforming one's mental processes, individuals can reduce suffering and live more harmoniously with the present moment.

I have a new line, when my brain goes into worry loops. I ask myself "What IF I didn't worry?" That then pulls me out of the loop and into the present moment. So much relief!

After 62 years of marriage, my husband and I divorced by mutual consent. The divorce went smoothly, as did the sale of the house and the division of common property. We shared everything half and half. My husband is going to another country and I am going to a nice little house in the village. I think it's the best thing that ever happened to me. I am vigilant that my mind does not lead me into destruction. Suffering. But if I'm already seduced, I pick it up fairly quickly, or come to my senses. Dear Echart, thank you for being my best teacher.

woah!!, yikes,i had no idea there are human beings concerned with this type of stuff, actually letting it affect them. how small could a life be that something like this would cause a person to be “upset the whole evening”? if that’s a problem worth giving that much attention to, what happens if something real and meaningful comes along, could a person like this even recognize or deal with it? what about things that actually matter? REAL things. i am utterly shocked that someone is wasting their energy like this. makes me really really grateful for my intelligence and knowledge of what life actually has to offer. this comment gave me a boost of confidence because im not a NPC like many obviously are. wow. get off whatsapp and all social media immediately. what you consider problems will begin to dissolve right away

@sonialoves444 with a comment like this you still have far to go within your concious unconscious you can tell by the way you speak about others & how knowing you are one up others give you confidence ego boost wow what's shocking is your response to someone's unconscious thinking unawareness if you really innerstand the unconscious mind you would know why people get so caught within little traps that get them upset the system we are build into doesn't allow us to self regulate so for others unfortunately are still in that mind made self don't judge others because once you were excalty like this in the state the unconscious mind still looks like you are with comments like this obviously you are not deep listener of eckart Live from your heart not mind you mite actually find compassion within it 🤍
Eckhart, 'The Power of Now' was a life-saver for me, so thank you so very much❤
To train the mind I say “ ty God” for all the little things that I become aware of during the day.
So simple, in fact elegantly so, but difficult to do - it will come with practice.
0:55 Millions manifest sufferings. Your unconscious mind manifests suffering. Bring attention to the present moment. What’s wrong with this moment? Nothing. Stop suffering first, then you can manifest others. From the foundation of being, you manifest others. Reconcile being and doing. That’s your purpose. Suffering tells you that you have lost the present moment. Once you know that, you can come back. Thanks Eckhart. 25 April 2024. 🍀😆🍀😆🤩💖👍🏻👍🏻🥂

2:22 virtually all your suffering is created by your mind, yes i agree, a lot of suffering can be self created/caused, and I'm glad he put in the caveat virtually, because not all suffering is caused by the mind.

Almost all suffering is created mentally, and the rest, can you even call it suffering or is it just the normal pains of life?

Practice looking around your surroundings and deliberately choose to focus your attention on the space(the air) of the room instead of the objects and as you do so attempt to empty your mind from any thoughts. You can use a timer. Begin with 1 min. Then set it to 2, 3, 5. As you feel better attempt more. This grounds you and makea you feel peace. Everytime I get anxious, the difficult part is remembering to use it, but if you use it you will feel much better. You know when it works because you will feel prone to simply smile as you can sense joy and calm. Initially it may take a while to empty thoughts for more than a minute, so you may even begin noticing 15 seconds and expand little by little as you become aware you are improving. Practice, practice, practice.

Maybe knowing and truly accepting the thoughts that trouble you are not really your thoughts, they are not even really about you. If it's the mind that produces the fearful and anxious thoughts then surely it the mind and not you that is in truth fearful and anxious. Let the mind do it's own thing while you do your own thing and all will be more than well 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for always shining your light on the shadowy aspects of the human mind Eckhart.
am suffering physically over 3 months now, it’s constant and very uncomfortable, have tried everything medication wise. I don’t know Eckhart if you ever read the comments but if by some miracle you see this, may I ask if you could hold this one in consciousness. Thanks. Carolyn
Hello from India
The one thing most don’t yet use in their favor and in the favor of others is the power of language. Mr. Eckart is assuming that people are suffering and giving suggestions to people that this is what will happen to them. Instead of “When it arises”, maybe a better suggestion would be “IF”, giving the person who is unaware of such suggestions the choice that there is a possibility in which suffering never arises.

Take a sheet of paper and title it "The most powerful questions for shifting your attention towards positive outcomes" and in it include questions like: 1. What is the beat thing that can happen today? 2. What are the best things that can happen this week(month,quarter, year, lifetime)? (Also you can narrow it down to life categories) 3. What can I do right now to immediately feel joyful, peaceful, happy, abundant, etc.? Have that sheet of paper handy in a visible place, and use it to redirect you focus or capture new questions. Change location every now and then so you dont give it for granted and stop noticing it. The idea is that you use it as a tool to quickly change your mental emotional state. It only can help you if you get started. Knowledge is not power, applied knowledge is. Good luck my friend.
Yes 🙌🥰🙏❤️🌼
Thank you! 🙏 But when we don't blame the others, but our past self-ego which made the same mistake and should be more careful and should have listened the instinct which was right, then what does it mean? That we are conscious? For example: our past non conscious self chose the wrong person although inside us we knew that this person is not for us and after a month we broke up with this person. But now, the current self after a trigger, blamed the past self: "it doesn't matter that you broke up early with this person. You should knew better after your experience and should have never get involved whith this person ". That blame to our past self, means that we are half conscious? and still not living in the present?. Thank so much for every speach !
As people the word suffering often leads to misunderstanding confusing it with hardship or something similar, and ain't exactly true. But the standard definitions are following bad situation or feeling small. So if you discern it you realise no more put inside inadequate places. Therefore removed from cloud continue to preach or speak about your own demand
Never neglect a moment.
All stories we tell ourselves that include victims and judgement of others must result in self inflicted suffering. We too often confuse not worrying and thinking with not caring but this is not the truth, we can care very much about situations and other people but only if we actually physically doing something about a situation can we influence it, all else is unnecessary and totally purposeless self inflicted suffering 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Liebe Grüße aus NRW / Deutschland 🫶🏼💐🥰
a little thing to help practicing presence and what hes saying for me is to Properly imagine tomoro the whole world is gonna end how many worries do u have now
There is only consciousness. Beyond that is Superconcious Just sublime bliss of absolute Detachment to time ego space body
All you need to know is what's said in the first 5 seconds of the video ❤
What if the now is always the same, worry or not. There is nothing that changes. It’s always the same now. I am starting to understand that even anchoring myself in the present moment to ignore where I am headed is an illusion. We are part of the whole and so, it is not only our mind that creates suffering. It is closely attached to our outer world and its dynamic.
