Can You Overcome Anxiety through Presence? | Eckhart Tolle 

When one becomes consciously aware of the voice in the head and realize that it's the main cause of all suffering and unhappiness in life then they begin to learn how to silence it and live happily in the present moment more and more each day. Thank you so much Eckhart.

My God, I don't think I ever heard Eckhart being so sharp and crystal clear ever before! His wisdom really shines through in this video. 🙏

I gave up trying to be present...and then I slowly felt more present. It was like the more I tried to "get it" or "be" it or "let it"...the more my ego played games. In essence, I got burned out, and then I felt lighter. Books like 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels helped be to get to a point of not caring to "get it"...because it can't be gotten with the mind...yet it's my mind that's even reasoning this, so be it.

We struggle because we think there should be songbirds and sunshine in our lives wherever we go 24/7 and that something is wrong when clouds and thunderstorms appear, clouds and thunderstorms are not the real problem, the real problem is our judgement and non acceptance of the clouds and thunderstorms right to exist that causes us to suffer most. Into each life a little rain must fall, and then the sun comes out again 🌞🙏🙏🙏🙏

I lose consciousness in social interactions. I realize a strong emanation of resistance in me. I quickly get entangled in these moments. I start fighting like a person by losing awareness of my true nature. This has been happening for 2+ decades. However, I don't overthink or replay these moments in my head when I'm alone. Granted, it's easier to stay present in private than in public. This is my personal opinion though. I deeply know that I'm going to transcend these mind attacks and emotional storm. Thanks eckhart for your timely insights. Love you.

ET lights up a portal to allow us to become aware. May his presence stay with us to remind us of who we really are…

*Inner peace* is not the absence of conflict, nor the absence of challenge, but rather the *capacity* to be with what is, *in each moment, without prejudice or judgement.*

I’ve found that I became more present from living alone. This happened after my fiancé and parents died a few years ago. I could have my own thoughts and quietude. I can go out and see others whenever I want to break up the silence.

Silence is not the language of supreme. It is the personal experience when you become the supreme.

I died at the end "You get it?"

Thank you

just a few seconds in this state changed my whole life

One of the best Talks of ET, I have ever heared.

I get it Eckart. I got it even 3 years ago when I started reading the power of now in italian. I dont need other help than this you are teaching and sharing with people. I love lots of spiritual teachers, ancient and nowadays. You have a special place in my heart. Thank you❤.

Regards, thank you.

This teaching was incredibly helpful for me. Thank you.

I got it! Thank you so much for being the great teacher, Eckhart. I am grateful that I am in this world in the same time as you are.

Just the best, Eckhart. Forever grateful ❤

I appreciate this man so much 🙏

Thank you Eckhart.

Thank god for eckhart

For me, this is Soul Self and human Self. The more Soul Self is present the greater the disconnect to all who are unconscious. The longer the Soul state, the harder the acceptance that Soul is having a human experience and must accept "human days". 🙏 Eckhart, yesterday was a particularly difficult human day, consciousness was jittery and at odds, it was an awful body feeling. Meditation, aura cleansing, more meditation did not ease those feelings. Spirit guided me to listen to you this morning and your explanation has provided peace. 🌹🪷💞

I got it, listen it 5 times and on 5th times I listened it very attentively that shift did happen, I felt exactly what he was talking about. And I got the process of opening that portal . Just listen to him very attentively and do what he is telling and you will feel that presence in you.

Thank you Eckhart❤

My favourite Eckhart’s teaching ❤❤❤

This video is one of your best. Thank you.

I was in the middle of a fight or flight, he brought me back into the present moment, into present moment awareness. Thank you so much Eckhart for sharing Presence 🙏.

This is the essence of mindfulness in one video.😍

Lol, that's why I like these segments from live talks, they almost always have that spontaneous humor that is only possible in live interactions. And I really like Eckhart's sense of humor 🙂 Thank you very much!

I find that I feel most in touch with this feeling Eckhart is describing the exact second I wake up every day in the morning. I feel like after having an entirely private night to myself without all the clutter of the world getting in the way gets me really in touch with my inner being. It is hard to describe, but the moment I wake up each day I feel this really warm feeling and connection between my heart, my mind, and my entire being. I can even feel it now to a small degree as I recollect it, but it is very strong when I first wake up.

Very interesting and enlightening. Thank you so much. Finally we have reached a stage where we humans, through people like Mr. Eckhart, are trying to become intelligent about our core evolutionary issue, of the need to make a transition from primarily an ego centric biological identity/mind to a post biological, nature centric identity/consciousness. It seems that all serious philosophies and religions in human evolution are actually directed at resolving this core human evolutionary issue.

Thanks Eckhart I found this video very helpful! 💜🎁💜

so so Greatful 🙏

Omg please go to New England♥️♥️♥️ Portland, Maine NEEDS YOU♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thank you. Good message

Beautiful!

what a guy!!! love echart! ❤

Masterclass 🙏🏻

Thanks!

This was so great. I even loved the humor, it kept me present longer 😅 like the human started to be like we’re still here but the being was like just listen 😂

Brilliant, thank you. Your comments at the end - re:boredom vs. interest - were very striking. I came into this video with a worry in my mind, but by the end "something" inside my self slowed me down and even brought tears to my eyes. That, I believe, was a response from the universe. Each of these little talks works like a meditation. Thanks again.

My anxiety was beat when i got introduced Eckart’s teachings ❤

Thank you ET❤

Thank you!!!!!

The best video. Thank you Echart Sir 🙏🏻

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! I work 24/7 awareness where possible that it may come as to overcome....

He really is a Firestarter!! So good and light - love you Eckart 🥰😍😁

I was in my lonely path in my trip searching the way home, and when all around became dark and hopeless- Elkhart,s deeper self arrived to help - and I saw the blessed banks of “New Earth”. And each moment I can swim closer to it, Thank you cordially dear Captain Elkhart for ruling your ship to New Earth- and we know the destination. 🌈🙏🌍

Thank you for being you.😊

It’s working. Much gratitude. Beautiful teaching.

🙏 Wonderful... " Consciusness knows itself" E. Tolle. We are IT.❤ That's the only thing you need to know. Everything is there❤ Immensely grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨🌺✨

It's very a very lighting. Thanks so much.

So much help from him - thank you, Eckhart, for your loving heart

❤ sending you love and light ET

Thank you Eckhart for spreading the light of consciousness towards us. ❤ I come from a war and conflict background, because of which I suffered tremendously for years in my life. Your teachings changed me. I cannot express how grateful I am of it. ❤️ however I know that it’s my call to help others especially those who live at war and conflict areas. I would like to ask if you could speak to that in any sessions. Or if you already have, we could have some videos on that. Much love ❤️ ❤

Beautiful Eckhart❤🥰🙏

Thank you very much, for this wonderful teaching.🙏😊

As I listened to you, Eckhart, an aliveness welled up in me, a lightness and joy. I knew my deeper self stepped forward and I am deeply grateful. Thank You.

Thank you, dear Eckhart, for this precious teaching, the only thing that can liberate me from the suffering of the thinking mind ✨️ ♥️

Thank you very much!

'You get it?'. I am going to use this catch phrase and finger pointing to annoy my colleague at work... 😆

Feeling so much JOY and ALIVENESS listening to you and sensing your PRESENCE!!! Deep GRATITUDE from the bottom of my heart 🙏💛🌹

I Love You Eckhart. ♥️🙏☮️

Sometimes you gotta surround yourself In good places, presence won't come if your in a bad field of energy gotta put yourself where you find comfort, your home, nature etc etc we a going threw different things but aiming for the same things : peace and love and serenity ❤ whatever may be challenging or troubling you will get threw no matter how hard It seems or will seem light outshines darkness always ♾️

I love and I deeply appreciate Eckart's sense of humor so much!!! Thank you from the bottom of my smiling heart 🙏💛🌹😊

Such a wonderful talk! 💕

Totally did experience what is means to shift from the human to the deeper self, the being self😊

..I observed the person writing this reply overcome acute anxiety by observing the mindbody realise that thoughts, feels and form know nothing nor can unknow anything about I that is observing the thoughts, feels and form. I observed the mind surrender and give up trying. I observe anxiety as the fear/desire of knowing/unknowing. An indication of Ego. Ego Sign is the pain and suffering. I observe this because I am neither knowing nor am I unknowing. I am. I observed the anxiety immediately stop and be replaced by silence and stillness. I the person was amazed. The anxiety returned a few days later but had no hold and vanished as quick as before. I no longer observe anxiety or suffer from the acute Ego Sign of anxiety. Sadness, guilt and anger are still present but are just alerts to the presence of the unconscious misidentification with thought. I call it Ego Sign. I observe. Love. I observe the person Surrender with a Sigh of Relief to Ego Sign. I observe gratitude for the heads up to the misidentification. I live quite a different life now. I am Ask the question "What do these thoughts truly know about I that is aware of the thoughts and feels?". Nothing. A blank mind is the only true answer to that question. So Surrender with a Sigh of Relief to Ego Sign. Thank you, Eckhart Tolle for the brilliant realisation that it is always now and I am that same presence that is aware that I am now! The mind is a logic tool and eventually gets the gist and gives up. But I am without beginning and end. I am neither more now nor am I less now. I am neither knowing nor am I unknowing. I am neither position nor am I opposition. All of that is Ego Sign. The indication observed as the pain and suffering. I observe it. I love it. I Surrender to it with a Sigh of Relief because I see it as nothing more nor less than an alert to the presence of Ego! In reality I observe an aspect of I surrender in harmony to the very same surrender that is I am. You cannot win a fight with yourself! Ego Sign says "Hello, I. No, not this! I am", as does the living symbol of form. I'm living the dream because I am! Thank you!...

It’s very helpful. Thank you. 🕊

I learned from THICH NHAT HANH that mindfulness of "intrusive" feelings (anxiety, stress, anger, fear, depression.....) means to embrace and acknowledge them as a part of our being when they are triggered in us so to have them calm down and lose their grip Similiar to the embrace a loving parent provides to console their traumatized child

Love you Mr Eckhart Tolle 🎉🎉

Yes, I got it!

Dear Eckhart, I’ve been following you since 2007. Your teachings, demeanour and personal history have always resonated with me in a deep and silncere manner. Thank you for that. As you have, in a consistent manner, brought anwers to me on topics I that I never contiously questioned, I thougt I might be able to return the favor? So, why are your gatherings so expensive? I have thougt of you as a channel that allows us, less priviliged, to gather knowledge and wisdom through you. So, when the Universe ao generously shatw it’s deapt with you without any limit, charge nor any expectance at all, how can your teaching be made avalalble by you, to your own public , on the exact opposite terms? I highly appreciate your reaponse aa I seel to understand and accept where you stand. What is always your intemd to monetize your gift? Or, is that the price you pay to reach the largest audience possible? Just trying to be in all honesty. 🙏🏽 Ursila

Thank you soooo much🥰💞

Great talk man

ET’s words are meant to silence the mind, thus bringing peace to you. That is to say you becomes You

What helps me get a glimpse of that essence that I am is when I tell myself "I'm here." When I'm truly present and say that a couple of times, and focus on that "me" that is here, the part that I really am becomes aware of itself. I've noticed that every time I experience this, it feels the same, but also different at the same time. Usually, I can only become aware of the superficial levels of that which I really am, while other times, especially right after waking up or falling asleep, I feel my real beingness on a much deeper level so intensely that it’s very scary to a part of the brain that, I guess, doesn’t want to accept the realness of me. Also, it makes me feel like I'm going crazy when I experience the deeper levels, so the fear makes me stop experiencing it immediately, and I'm desperate to go back to "normal." It’s funny because when I'm not aware, I want to become aware, but once I do, it can get very intense and I stop it. But then, when it stops, I want to experience it again. It's like playing hide and seek with myself all the time 😄 And it took me a while to figure out the right "pointer" that works for me. When I was younger, I used the question “Who am I?” But I found a better pointer for me is just saying “I’m here.” Sometimes, what also works for me is saying what Eckhart says in this video: “if I wasn’t here, I wouldn’t have perceived this room.” That makes me go, “Oh, so I really do exist. If I'm perceiving this room, it means I really am here, nowhere else but here.” And it feels so good to realize that; it feels as if my whole life I've been looking for confirmation that I'm real, that I really exist, through external things and past and future, and suddenly I realize I was right here all along.

Super video again...😊🙏😇💚

Good stuff.

God bless 🌎

Om shanthi

Gratidão ❤

I’m so close to Portland! Please go:D

Very good

I also understand what he says about me going into this moment when I'm stressed or feeling anxious, what I feel is stressed energy but I feel it from the outside as if it's something separate from me and it gives me the option to overcome it

I have suffered anxiety most of my life, it started when being bullied at high school, then college, then in employment, then by job centre staff being unemployed from quitting my job due to being bullied.

Hvala.

I was just riding the bike when I listened to the video, and it was amazing because I was also listening and I was inside the body and smelling things around, there is a calmness all around that gives it something amazing and also the color outside is changing, it is getting stronger.😊

Amen Amen 🙏 Master Amen 🙏 Master thank you papa

Yes. Feel the world around you, the sky on a clam day, the warm breeze, nature speaking to you from all around. Become one. Relax let go. The birds in the trees keep you company you are not alone. Archangel Michael

You have to go out of your mind before you can come to your senses 😋💞

Best advice the being can know...the mind wants to dismiss
