The Little Things in Life
In this talk, Eckhart emphasizes the importance of honoring the small moments that make up most of our lives and being at peace with what is arising in the present moment. Rather than focusing on arriving in the future, we experience the most fullness in life from the present moment. Subscribe to find greater presence in life: bit.ly/EckhartYT

Eckhart Tolle is a spiritual teacher and author, born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of 29 a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. He devoted the next several years to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth-translated into over 52 languages-he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States”, and Watkins Review has named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.”
Eckhart’s profound, yet simple teachings have helped countless people around the globe experience a state of vibrantly alive inner peace in their daily lives. His teachings focus on awakening consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking, and can be seen as the next step in human evolution. In the awakened state of presence, we discover what Eckhart describes as our essential identity-who we are beneath the surface-and its power for transforming our selves and our world.

Erm??? Didn’t you understand what Eckhart is saying. Now is the Real. That’s where the treasure lies.
I had a “weed” growing around my mailbox. I stopped cutting it down this year. I don’t go down to get the mail my husband does. Today I went down to check the mail. Today I saw the blackberries and it made my day. My lack of action gave way to fruit. I have many birds that live around my home. People will hear them when I am talking on the phone. The sound of the birds bring them joy. The birds bring me joy every day. I am able to give them a special thank you treat of fresh blackberries and it warms my heart and soul.
Often times when I listen to Eckhart, the stress and anxiety just melts away and I feel so grateful.

Hi Eckhart! Last week, something incredible happened to me. I'm 22 years old, and have struggled for many years with anxiety, stress, and low self esteem. I was introduced to you and your books late last year, and since then, I've had small glimpses here and there of a state of silence, peace. Last week, I took a walk with my dog through our small village that I live in. I was not too anxious this day, just a little general unease like I often feel. I then thought to myself "Ok, now I'm actually gonna try to observe all these thoughts I have and this feeling in my body". And so, I started paying attention to all these thoughts, as well as my surroundings, without adding any additional thoughts to them. And suddenly... I got this strong sensation of understanding. It was like I saw all these thoughts of good enough and not good enough, should and shouldn't do, the future, all of these for what they really are - just thoughts, ideas. There was this detachment from these thoughts and reality, and I suddenly understood that I had been completely glued to these thoughts and made them my identity, and now I saw them as just a thought, an idea, that has nothing to do with who I am, and is simply unimportant and serves no purpose. I felt such joy all of a sudden, and a simplicity towards everything. I almost started laughing a bit, so I was happy no one was around to see me, haha! The sensation went away a bit later that day, and this week I've been overthinking again (of what thoughts really are, etc.), but I've had several more glimpses of this peaceful state. You have really shown me something I never knew existed, and I hope and believe this will be my permanent state eventually! Thank you Mr. Tolle!

It comes and goes, but I think it comes more and more often :) Eckhart has really taught me that instead of forcing away negative thoughts, I instead take a step back and redefine what thoughts actually are. And in those moments where I understand that they're just ideas, it brings a joy that I haven't felt in a long time! God bless you too🙏

Every time Eckhart pauses, reflects and blinks many many lives are uplifted.

Yesterday I felt horrible. I had a headache, and an inability to exert myself. I felt so discouraged. After eating dinner, I decided to go on a walk. As I passed a group of trees with the sun behind them, I caught a quick glimpse of the silhouette of a deer. That fraction of a second transformed my whole day. I immediately began to smile. It eclipsed how I physically felt.

The ongoing inflationary use of the word 'hate' in the media pisses me off, so to speak. 'Hate' is the most extreme comparative form of 'not liking smth.' and should be used as such. Where are the different shades like 'dislike' and 'don't like', 'don't love' for that matter. So, think, before you use the word 'hate' the next time!

I’ve tried to find this video again, 5 months later and my life has totally changed. I’m glad that I was able to watch this video with my best friend and husband. He passed away short after and it was one of the most terrible experiences in my life. Ever since I am watching your videos to get to the place of acceptance. I’m grateful that Scott was able to read your book to me. I am still grieving and crying a lot, but I am also trying to be aware of what’s happening when those thoughts of our wonderful life together are arising. It’s physical pain that I feel in my heart in those moments and I know now, that I’ve lost the love of my life and that I can’t do anything about this. Thank you for your videos Eckart

These short Eckhart clips are the little things of my life. These alone have helped me to reach a better quality of life. Never needed to even buy the book or 'subscribe for more'😄 as we often see written in the end of the video.
Just listening to Eckhart is relaxing..♥️
This video just made me shift in consciousness and realize what it means to be present. Life is really just composed of small things! We shouldn’t base the way we live on the ‘story’ of ourselves, we should live it in presence

Actually I thought of this when I took a Short walk today. Sometimes I get to occupied with doing great and fancy things in life and are missing the small but very important parts of existence🌷
You can't forget or remember anything in the present! You certainly can't remember or forget anything in the future!! Much love to my fellow beings👉🙏
love that he knows he is a rockstar
You are a master I know. I hope you completed your quest! my mum completed hers but she passed away last aughust. She graduated from this illusion and lives in the Now! miss her so much not only as a mother but her wisdom and knowledge. So when you talk about the little things in life I appreciate the little things I have even though it's not of true existence. You give me great comfort and I want to say thankyou for your videos and teachings ❤️
Currently I am going trough a hard time in my life (just my inner voice, that has become stronger since a very stressful event). I was trying to figure out what I was missing. And now Eckhart just said what it was. My attention is more in the compulsive-thinking mind than in the present moment and the events that take place. I can recognize it when I barely remember what I did 30 minutes ago, specially if it is something small and simple. Eckhart is truly a compass of awareness.
The little things are the wind on every little hair of my arms. Each breath I get to take, my toes and fingers. Moist eyes, being able to stretch my body, having this body that carries me where I need to go. A pillow in my bed, a bed, a sheet, water to wash with, being able to eat something, being able to feel. So glad to be here, now.

Hello there, In my daily life I have been noticing that there are some things that I do purily aware, doing my bed, putting books or other stuff in a table. It started randomly, but afterall it's the narrative that makes things being either good or bad because, we usually are just breathing, walking, eating, talking ahaha mind is insane
all speeches must be translated into all languages, humanity needs it. This should be your first task please
