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.

The image of your mother's clock was so sweet. Thank you, Eckart.
So sweet, Eckhart talking about his mum and dad! It touched my heart. Eckhard is so lovely. I love him. 🥰🙏🙏🙏😊😊
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.

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 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!

I thought I was going crazy! He just described what it means to not keep emotions for too long.

I am (suddenly - ha) elderly now. I am certainly trying to accept the impermanence of my form.
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.

In order to understand Eckhart you only have to change one thing and that’s: everything
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.

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.

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.

Thank you kindly
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. 🙏🙏
