Be Alert without Thinking: A 20 Minute Meditation with Eckhart Tolle 

Such a beautiful soul. Endless pointers. If you get this, the shift within you has probably been activated and there's no going back from there. Thank you Eckhart for being an incredible teacher, an inspiration to millions, if not billions of people if you count the impact their consciousness may have on those around them. We love you.

“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.” -Eckhart Tolle

The same thing I teach to my mediumship students is the same thing that can be applied to success in spirituality as well as life which is: "When you're thinking you're not connecting and when you're connecting you're not thinking". Eckhart's teachings are amazing...Blessings in abundance

The space between the words and being aware of the space

Eckhart is the prophet of the modern era. Remarkable spiritual master

When we r observer of the mind isn't the mind obsering itself

If someone is looking for a daily spiritual practice/guided meditation, I really recommend to consider a practice of The Steps to Knowledge - The Book of Inner Knowing. It's a 365 days journey to your inner wisdom it has totally changed my life during these past two years I've been with it. It's so mysterious, yet its practices are so powerful to engage with the reality and everyday life. It's also available online for free, which is a real gift!

Thank you

Honestly...I felt like I was self destructing as I was watching/listening to this.

How could we ever be alone.. All one🙏

its healing to listen to ET ....

This man! Something special is reachable to ALL, because of your work spiritman.

We love you

Thanks for teaching Eckahart

We just have to be still to be aware of our thoughts, feelings and actions. Eckhart provides or guides us to take responsibility and honestly look at ourselves as we are. No teachers or gurus required.

Look at the sky for a few seconds. ❤

The purpose of meditation is to enter presence, being. You are doing (thinking) all the time. You are not consciously being. Meditation shifts your attention from doing and thinking to being. You are more than a person. You are conscious presence without which there can be no person. Waves (person) cannot exist without the ocean (consciousness or God).🐞🐞🦋🦋🦋🌷🪰 It's an amazing realization for most people that they can easily access the state of presence by bring their attention into the present moment, now.🌿🌿🌿🌹🌹🐌🐌🐌 There are some pointers: There is peace. Surface person can never experience peace for long. Ripples cannot be peaceful.🐞🐞🦋🦋🌷🌷🌷 You are the universe experiencing itself by manifesting as a person. The universe is conscious of itself as a person, but not separate from the universe. Universe is in the process of becoming more conscious (evolutionary universe). Your life is part of evolutionary impulses towards greater consciousness. Consciousness has to flow into what you do. If not, life becomes frustrated and pointless.🌹🌹🌹🦋🦋🦋 Being aware that you are now consciousness, still, being. Without consciousness, you can't even think and feel now. This realization now should energize you, when you enter alert presence.🌿🌿🌿🐛🐛🐛🦋🦋 Align your life with that presence. Direct your attention to presence which supports you in life. Fear and anxiety then occur less frequently.🐞🐞🌷🌷🐌🐌🦋🦋 Look at the sky for a few seconds from time to time, alertness without thinking. This is being. The rest is doing. You need to balance being with doing.🌹🌹🌹🐌🐌🦋🦋🌷 Thanks Eckhart. 6 November 2022.

Looking at the sky is great advice. I gaze at the sky all the time, often while also doing grounding. I ask mother earth to hold and heal my body, and father heaven to liberate my mind. Then I pray to Jesus, asking Him to look over my family and friends (sometimes someone special) and to liberate my heart from fear and anger. I live in Florida and we have "the big sky," and some of the grandest sunsets (and sunrises over the ocean), and I don't understand people who don't look up at the sky at least once a day,. I love it when there are clouds at many different altitudes. It enhances the feeling of the depths of all that space. I drink that beauty in like the spiritual nourishment it is. The same is true of staring intently at the ground, really focus in on the grass, flowers, insects, etc. It's very calming of the mind and nervous system. I like to switch between the two, that really increases the sense of the vastness of the Earth and sky..

The effect is found in the cause.

I love love love Eckhart Tolle.... GOD BLESS YOU FOR EVERYTHING. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

ET is blessed, both, by Gautam Buddha & Jesus Christ. That is why he is such a pure, simple, deep, vast & topmost Spiritual Teacher.

God, I LOVE Eckhart Tolle. Been listening to him and reading his books for years. His words are imbued with Universal Truth! 💛 I can feel that. Every time I listen to his soothing voice, I am lulled into deep peace inside below my mind. Mind movies do still run sometimes, but I find the gaps of mental stillness and feel the deeper dimension of peace within me. I am so grateful to be here! Thank you, Eckhart. 💛💖

To feel the open spaciousness of awarness is such a beautiful and peaceful experience. To remember that it has always been there and all one need do is focus there awarness on the living energy in their body and the space around them. Then the memory of who we are slowly returns.

Always love listening to Eckhart.❤️

Thank you 🙏 x

The gaps are our consciousness' in its fullest presence

I started hearing Eckhart Tolle before the pandemic and I find myself changing perspective a lot . His words and way of sending messages really enters to me and it helps me to realize many good realizations and senses. Thank you so much for Sir for sharing us your light ❤️❤️

Thanks Eckhart 🙏

I Love you so Eckhart...♥️🙏☮️

Read your book Power of Now long ago....so glad to see you again in my feed. I havent read a book in years so seeing you makes me want to read again when I get the chance.

I appreciate the positive specific descriptions. Very helpful. The sky, the waves, ripples of the ocean (or lakes or rivers here in Michigan). I also enjoy seeing the trees & sky from your window. Thank you for this one😇. I will be able to listen repeatedly and be still and focus on the positive. 🌈

This is so good.

❤✨thank you ET✨❤️

SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide} AND...YES.!!!

Thank you very much, for this wonderful meditation,for this present moment.🌸🙏

Thank you!!✌️

Thank you again, Eckhart!

Thank you so much Eckhart. See you soon in Sydney!!

Thank you again, Eckhart ❤️🙏

Thanks for ALL 🧘🏻‍♂️

i don't need this meditation for that, i do and did this my whole life already. also i awoke without meditation. because my mind has always been quiet. just needed to stop the medication i was on for ADHD and the anti psychotic drugs for tourette sysdrome and boom last may i awoke. been spiritual from birth already i realised that last september. just needed to ban drugs that surpressed my mind my whole life..

Wow. Thank you.

*EVERY FAMILY HAS SOMEONE WHO BREAKS THE CHAIN OF POVERTY IN THAT FAMILY,I AM THE ONE AND I PRAY YOU BE THE ONE TOO,EXPERT MRS BLOSSOM JEFFERSON CHANGED MY FINANCIAL LIFE FOR GOOD😍*

Wow, absolutely powerful meditation right here. I could feel My connection with Elkhart in the spaces of his speech. Made me feel like my and his personality are mask and thee beingness behind the mask is the ocean. Amazing

Brillant and simple explanation. Thanks a lot.

I don't know where else to put this question, so I'm going to ask here, hoping that it will be seen and maybe considered... Master Eckhart, what message would you say to Vladimir Putin? In present times there is a Russian invasion in Ukraine, the details are known, and fights are still active. If by some chance he saw your video directed at him, what words of advice would you find important for him to hear?

thank you

Love listening to you❤

i love you. thank you for being an ally for everyone.

Thank you. The word "stillness" is key for me to enter presence. As long as I can remember I've always thought that our soul or consciousness is like a battery that animates our body. Without this battery our body and mind could not function.

We love you too

You help me live, Master! God bless!

Excellent

Towards the end I got an image of me as a child, maybe 2-3 years old, in my room playing with toys. I saw how I would engage and disengage with the toys. So sometimes I was just 'being' while other times I was doing. So for me, this approach mimics our natural pattern of living before we are inundated with more and more life events that seem to or legitimately need our attention - events some of us never take a break from. There can be so many life events that need attention we get out of the rhythm of engaging and disengaging as we did as children. I think it's important to recognize that some people were not lucky enough to experience that pattern due to traumatic childhoods, but this lesson can still be applied as it seems almost necessary to manage one's life no matter how it started out. It also makes me think of successful people and how they use their toys or hobbies to take breaks from constantly focusing on a given situation.

Any one if you praying must honest to yourself

19:58 So good spiritual work ❤❤❤

I often feel so separated from other people (not from friends or family), but to the most humans...i feel alone when I see the most people to be not conscious..sometimes it felt like there ist cold energy and no connection. How can I change? Xoxo

I love you Eckhart 🙏🤍🍀

I have been listening and learning from you for years Sir. This morning, I thank you for this lesson. I am so grateful for your patience and consistency. Such an incredible gift you are sharing with us. ☮️❤️

Gratidão Eckart

Thank you❤

A wish fulfilled for me Thank you Eckhart Tolle

Thanks Eckhart: I love your strait way of explaining that the whole universe is becoming more conscious, and that we are doing exactly the same as part of this wonder!

Always infinitely moved me to listen to pure Consciousness that with infinite goodness and wisdom takes care of us small sparks of light of Consciousness.. How much love in this how much gratitude for it....💓🙏

Is this him now, today, November 5 2022?

Hi Eckhart!

Pure Bliss 🙏❤️

I had heard many times promise

Our stomachs growled at the same time! Haha how funny

This has been a really helpful exercise. Thank you Eckhart.

Consciousness is a concept, thought can't touch the living.

Love Tolle. Someone also recommended the book MAN BEING VOLUME 1: THE TRANSMISSION while I was at one of his talks. The book is mind blowing. Deals with Mankind’s lost origins and afterlife secrets. How is this book not mainstream yet? Search authors Dramos & Bohemias. Has anyone out there read this??

🙏

God bless you Eckhart. You are the only spiritual teacher that touches my soul. Tears of joy 🥲. May we all feel our true presence and be united ❤️🙏

wonderful !!! letting go of the false self remembering the beauty and purity of pure awareness thankyou Eckhart 🙏 💗

Maravillosas enseñanzas. Solamente quiero expresar mi gratitud a Eckart por sus esfuerzos para hacernos llegar tan valiosas enseñanzas. Muchas bendiciones y los mejores deseos para que estos mensajes lleguen a más personas... 🙏🙏🙏

🙏😊🔥

Thank you. I liked several parts, including the idea of consciousness flowing into doing. I am so grateful that I am more than form self. I sometimes wonder why I have this particular form. Realised that when Dad and his mother, my grandma, went fishing, they were being conscious in the gaps between catching fish. The Murray river is currently in flood. Last night the sky held a lunar eclipse. Thank you for your help Eckhart.

The Thinking Mind is always not satisfied. It always Needs More. It has been Trained that only objects of the World will make them Happy. In the long run it only makes us Unhappy.

I feel that this is a lecture, rather than a meditation. Not sure if I misread the label.

I would like this video a hundred times if I could. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world, Mr. Tolle.

I have been following, listening and reading what Eckhart teaches for two and a half years. I was a bit surprised at the end of the meditation when he stated something to the effect, those that are just in "being" will just self-destruct. I get it on one level, but not on a different level. Is there more about Eckhart's other videos or readings that address what he is saying in his self-destruct comment? Could one say it is a "recycling" or "cleansing" or "absorbing" process within the Universe or the mi d og God; Or, since someone can't sense presence, they are not part of presence?

I need you so badly, how can I talk to you now? I can’t stand just the superficial way of learning, I can’t bear only a video. Thank you!

🙏💚

Great meditation but what a dark ending -- back to the thinking and panicking I guess! (joke)

Is this video of Eckhart recorded recently, or these are past videos which are now uploaded?

hi i am roy i am 18 years old i am looking ths video since thanks some thinks has change in me i can write without thinkng

I am recognising that ocean daily and this limited person with it's stories is not so significant anymore.

​ @Staci B To answer your question on how the book and practice Steps to Knowledge has impacted my life: My life has changed not only on the inside, but also on the outside. Shortly after beginning this practice for the second time, I knew where I needed to be, and to get there I had to leave my current, "ideal" life at the time. Once I drove across country, at the age of 52, and got to the right place, I found my true relationships and my true work. On the inside, there have been so many changes for the better. I have learned greater compassion in place of judgment, greater forgiveness-of others and of myself, a greater sense of who I really am and why I am here in the world at this time. I have become unburdened of so many things that weighed me down. And the list goes on. Thank you for asking, Staci.

❤

After a while all I saw was your eyes. Have we actually inadvertently replicated this state with computers? The mainframe is the ocean and the terminals all feeding into the main drain, are us?

💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿🙏

Soul?

Just being alert and suspending thoughts all the time?!?!? How do run country? Who makes food? Who brings food to the table?? We need to learn to balance between Present past and future awareness.

I'm confused?😁 are we just to listen to this or is there a specific meditation video? Thanks!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I appreciate Eckhart’s contributions, but the concept presented here is not his original idea. This is Transcendental Meditation, which is already an established style of meditation taught by experienced instructors at TM centers across the world. I wish he would have said that. The only thing he left out is the mantra provided by the TM teacher, which can be used to gently return the mind to the present & release thought. He only says “go back to presence” but doesn’t say how, which is the one part we all struggle with. 🧐 I took the TM training just 2 weeks before the pandemic isolation began & it’s been the most important thing I’ve done for my mental & emotional health. It’s referred to as “restful awareness” or “aware restfulness.” But as with any meditation style, making it a regular/daily practice is how one really gets the benefits from it. It is meant to be done 20 mins a day, twice a day. I’ve only gotten to doing it daily once a day but that alone has benefitted me immensely, changing my nervous system, physiology, and bringing me more peace. I encourage anyone who is truly interested in this to visit a TM center, where you can learn about the proper technique and how it’s been proven across many studies to be more effective than many other types of therapy. It helps with PTSD, anxiety, depression, EDs, addiction. It helps us to release these things in a way that’s hard to put into words. Eckhart is touching on the key concepts but there’s a lot more to it, and again, i wish he would have directed people to learn about it from an expert (which also provides students with a teacher who works with them in the initial months to help solidify the practice through having an accountability partner, as well as a community), rather than presenting himself as the originator, or failing to give credit to its origins.

Sehr geehrter Herr Tolle, vermutlich werde Sie meinen Kommentar niemals lesen oder mir antworten können. Dennoch möchte ich eine Frage stellen. Ich leide seit meiner frühen Kindheit an einer Angststörung und Depression ausgelöst durch massives Bindungstrauma. Ich gebe mir die größte Mühe in meinem Alltag präsent zu sein. Dennoch ereilen mich immer wieder Phasen in denen mich meine Angst komplett einnimmt. Dann erleide ich massive Anspannungszustände die ich kaum aushalten kann. Der "logisch" Weg meiner Gedanken ist, dass ich nicht mehr existieren möchte weil dieses Gefühl von Panik und Anspannung so unaushaltbar ist. Meine Frage ist, wenn das Bewusstsein doch so viel mehr ist als das menschliche Sein, wie halten Sie dann aus an einen Körper und dessen (unaushaltbaren) Emotionen gefesselt zu sein? Meine Gedanken unterbreiten mir immer die Idee, dass ich mich von meinem Körper "befreien" soll um endlich frei (von Emotionen) sein zu können. Haben Sie eine Lösung für mich, wie ich es schaffen kann meinen Körper nicht als Last und Feind ansehen zu können? Ich würde mich unglaublich über eine Antwort freuen. Lea

There are TWO✌️ here and nows ,one is outside of your body and is based on the five senses and is always changing. The other Here and Now is on the inside ( eyes closed) and is Consciousness prior to the world the body and prior to your thoughts and memories and is Eternal ....that is the inner Here and Now of Eternal Life and Spirit as taught by the Avatars throughout the evolution of the Human Race overcoming the world i.e the material plane i.e. to" subdue the Earth " and overcome it ......and Returning back to your original state as Eternal Spirit again. This original state after Meditation is known as Self Realization by Yogananda,😇 Samadhi, 😳Moksha,😀 Nirvana, 😁Heaven within Luke 17 21, 😃Awake as Eternal Spirit again-Buddha, 😍non Duality, ✌️Cosmic Consciousness,☺️ Born again -Jesus ,🤫Garden of Eden, 😇Prodigal Son.all the same❤️
