Digital Detox: How to Set Healthy Tech Boundaries for Mental Well-Being | Eckhart Tolle 

Love this guy more and more he’s so wise but also hilarious 😂

He's not only spiritual and wise , he's sense of humour cracks me up , made my day 🤣 😄 😆

Intentional phone usage vs. Me just going down a rabbit hole scrolling has helped my anxiety SO MUCH!😊

I'm addicted to Eckhart and Alan Watts 😮

I have been on methadone n benzodiazepines. Since I was 12 . It stops me from moving forward I got into drugs after the death of my sister she drowned. I feel that was the start of it all . However I found childhood very challenging. When I started using Opiates it made me feel like I had come home so to speak . I see know just how wrong I was . The need to be able to feel and be at peace in my own presence. ❤

Without this technology, I wouldn’t have the teachings for me to practice to live happily 🙏

Eckhart Tolle, YOU ARE THE BEST!! Thank you so much for BEING WHO YOU ARE. Lots of love from Barcelona (Catalunya, Spain). I send you a huge hug full of love and kindness 🤗🤗🤗❤

Go for it, love yourself. Becoming at peace by letting go of the past. It's no longer relevant now. Forgive, lay it to rest and plant a new field of creativity.

This was exactly what I needed. I'm working in the technology industry and I want the technology through which I communicate with others to be a vehicle of presence. Thank you Eckhart for sharing this wisdom💫. and you narrate your experiences in an extremely funny way. 🤩

100%! Separating individuals from the dependency on their mobile phone/device is vital before any further meaningful understanding of any condition can begin. I see it at the hospital where I offer emotional support to the patients, however the fundamental awareness of this fact is still not built in to the hospital's recovery program. It needs to be as soon as possible. Thank you Eckhart x

I am so very grateful for technology because without it I couldn't see or talk to my brother and his family who lives thousands of miles away. Plus, I would not of met my beautiful girlfriend if it were not for this channel, and she also lives thousands of miles away. But because of technology me and my girlfriend are able to talk to one another everyday and are now in the process of planning our future together. So I agree, technology if it's used in the right way is a wonderful thing. Thank you so much for giving us a brilliant explaination and trustworthy advice on this topic Eckhart.

Got rid of my playstation, and I realised it was an addiction as soon as i got rid of it. I instantly felt better

Yes. I keep my digital devices out of my bedroom. 📵🛌💤

I like to just sit and talk 😊 and I can't stand it when someone is sitting on their phone all the time. Be here with me now !!! ❤❤❤ btw I type with one finger only 😅😅😅

Thanks Eckhart! It can definitely be helpful to be mindful of how social media is used. I find it helps prevent info overload as well as connect with others as well! 💜

Excuse me, Mr. Eckhart, how can I talk to you privately?

Still we are forced to take in moving digital images because its a survival reaction of nature, if we spot a movement we have to look at it and identify. Thats the first reaction. And yeah ok if the human mind comes in, which is social, it will be a subjective avalanche of meaning thats added to the initial reflex. Another thing that keeps us hooked is the artificial light especially when using devices in the dark in bad. We have artificial light, daylight and the light of being born, when we literally reach the end of the birth canal for the first time.

its not the smartphone technology that brought you this insight. If the badguy is compulsive thinking that was there before the tech, its also the one that gave birth to the tech you hold so dear. So insight must be the memory of the now that always rebelled against externalization. It means the now is not subjected to desire and the world. Then its like a sun that cannot even explode or die.

This is not a reaction, simply an objective response. Firstly, if no one is wrong, then everyone is right... right? How blasé, superficial. When people make erroneous statements, they ought to be directly challenged and given the opportunity to challenge their own stance. Kind of like, when the Zen Master will strike a practitioner when they are nodding off. It's a wake up call, nothing more. Terming it “unconscious” or “ego” is just not on, that in itself is a put down. That is saying “do not question me”, “I have no interest in your point of view”, “I am not open to dialogue”, "you do not know as much as me", etc, etc, etc. So again, Eckhart, not actually understanding human psychology very deeply makes himself out to be a hypocrite. So full of contradiction, that it is just sad that so many sit there hearing with gullible ears and not actually listening to a word. There is the part where he's promoting apps for meditation. However, if we look at these, what do they do? Any process that the mentality follows will simply stupefy. Why, as it is encouraging the mentality to be Master in the most insidious way. Do you get what that means? I'll give a hint, comparison. It made me laugh when Eckhart said “young people who are totally un-centered”, then immediately follows “they have no space-ness within”. Well what does that mean? An un-centered mind has space, that's for sure. Whereas a centered mind is one that is a construct of thought, narrowed down to conform to whatever state is desired. So again, Eckhart is off the mark here. The mind in its natural being has no center, so I wouldn't go looking for one. As for the communication aspect. The only issue I have with folks always on their phones is they are missing the greater aspect of direct communication. All the gestures, the intonations, etc. The written word is a poor means to convey one's meaning. Yes, most apps are purposely designed to boost the ego, (how many pressed the like button?), and that is due to ego's writing the progams to extract as much cash as possible. It's the same with business. All business is about ego, yes, even so-called non-profits. Money is the ultimate delusion. So maybe, if Eckhart is a “spiritual teacher”, he ought to get an understanding of just how grossly harmful money is to all and steer folks in a way beyond that murky messy business which has corrupted almost every human for the past few thousand years. There is a simply way too.
