Tip - don't pay the mind any mind...ignore any thoughts of past, future, or imagination/daydreaming. Instead, stay with the feeling/experiencing of the moment. Tactilely. Be 100% devoted to the moment...what is felt, seen, heard, smelt, and tasted. Just like how someone can be so in their head and in thought that they can bump into a lamp pole because they simply were not aware and did not see it...go to the other side of the spectrum. So with the here and now that there is no room for thought. In the absence of thought, there is only the present.

Something with what you will naturally indentifie through the moment you will realise it... ✌️🙂🙏
"Rise above thinking" This statement fixed my way of thinking about reaching the awareness. I was always looking to avoid thinking by sinking below it. As soon as he said that I immediately understood something. I probably don't make any sense and I cannot explain it but I found understanding in those words. Thank you for that.
Eck is so right. Today my cat struck a majestic pose in a tree in my back yard. Instead of appreciating the moment I ran inside to get my camera. Of course when I got back she was long gone from the tree

What works for me is I find an anchor point to the present moment. For example today it's the touch of my back against the chair. The feeling of touch. I mean you're sitting in the chair and the chair is in the present moment right? Find your anchor points to the present moment and keep on coming back to them when you find your mind is drifting to the past or the future.

I have been advancing on my journey and have made significant progress this summer. I have reached a state of deep inner peace and surrender. Yesterday I was at work and my mom called me to tell me my bathroom flooded and that my room was flooding too. I didn’t get mad, annoyed, sad, anything. I know this non-reaction was confirmation that I have grown.

@@gunnikrimply living in the moment and removing a reaction from yourself just like Ekhart says remove the mind and just simply be, not doing something just being in the present look around you what is the room like that you are in or the space is it chaotic or is it you that makes it seem chaotic? Remove judgments and just let the current present be just that
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.
We are so fortunate to have Eckhart in our lifetime.

I feel like Eckhart could have had a career as a comedian? He's so naturally funny. A profound message, but with these bursts of humour.
As someone who has developed really low self-esteem, Eckhart's teachings are the only thing that have been able to help me escape my mind and become grounded in the present. It's like your senses become heightened as you release all thoughts and negative projections from the outside world and focus on the awareness within. You experience the sounds, tastes, smells, and the richness of life and the magnificence of existence. To exist and not feel as though you have to be or achieve anything is truly a gift. You are already good enough without having to be good enough to the outside world. To be of the world but not in it to me is to take life for what it is and have gratitude for what you do have and to accept that which you do not have. Then you can find peace in the present, otherwise there will always be something to chase. It's like being a child again when you are off in your own world and you don't know loneliness because you don't know there are other children besides you and you are content and happy and no one has put the pressure of being anything on you yet. That you are good enough as you are just by breathing.

I can remember learning how to meditate as a teen and being frustrated with noises that interrupted my meditation; staring at a candle or saying a mantra. Now, noises are actually welcome and represent the present and reality and they keep me present along with sensing my body. It's so much easier to achieve getting out of your head; slowing down your mind.

Yes..yes, thank you for your humor Eckhart and I start the day with no devices, just me and God and I get so present as to lose my earthly form so to speak....I'm not a name, job or body, I'm energy, I'm Spirit and if I can capture that sweet spot of the present moment (as Joe Dispenza says) then I go into the quantum field and begin to consciously understand and create my life as a Spirit having a human experience.

i met a guy at a bar who argued that humans incessantly taking pictures and recording is a good thing. We are documenting history. He went on to say that this especially includes what we currently see as "boring" or "useless" pics like food, etc. In the past, we had to dig up bones, dust off rocks to make sense of human life. In the future, they will have endless amounts of artifacts.
the first time i actually laughed with the crowd 😊 really good work!
Wow. Just found this guy and never have I seen someone so wise merge it with such wittiness. There’s other people teaching a similar message and they’re fantastic, but their seriousness often makes them look like they’re perhaps not as happy and present as they claim to be. That ending sentence was brilliant, exquisite timing. This man is wonderful

Understanding the simplicity of this is life changing. I'm currently experiencing extremely challenging times. I feel it as it's what's happening now but I also let it go when the feelings ease. At points I'm totally present and there is no anxiety and at the times when it's overwhelming I remind myself that I'm trying to not think of the future or the past only what I'm doing now however hard now can be, im challenging myself to think differently and to accept what's happening however painful. When it doesn't feel simple I remind myself that im enough and I have it in me to just be with what is. Thank you for this video it's definitely something I come back to when I feel overwhelmed again.
Never been this early. I love your teachings Eckhart, it really helps me be a better parent.
Haha 😀...thankyou Eckhart 🙏🏻 Fun pointings...smiles to you, and much love as always, dear one ❤️
My house mates wake me up most mornings, they put the tv on and talk loudly over the top of the tv. This used to make me so angry, of cause I said something but they just keep doing it. Now I say to myself, its just sound and except it, I dont get angry and feel knots in my stomache anymore, its just sound. I turn the tv on in my bedroom and play Eckhart Tolle videos, up quiet loud I must say, and remain calm.

There has to be a deeper reason for experiencing an awakening than simply for one's own benefit. Unless we seek to awaken so we can be of service to others - to the world and humanity as a whole - it will never happen.

I also liked what he said about accepting when there are noisy people around. I am living in a bnb where there are noises that are disturbing, and it's tough to accept.
