thankyou for this comment x

please pray for me I'm doing all I can stay alive x

@@melanielukeman8407 I am that point as well. It sure what happened, I use to be in such a good place. You are in my thoughts 🙏

@@melanielukeman8407 Melanie and Donna...please know there are those here who care, and who are praying for you. 😇🥰🙏

💗

Wow will try this.. thank you

Thank you 😊

Really cool idea. I will try it too. Thank you.

love that idea!

Thank you so much , Mel . I am in my 60's , and through the majority of my life I've been known for my great attitude . I was also an athlete. After a series of negative things my body has been through, my attitude changed. I worked very hard to ' repair ' my body . Your comment about "mental pushups" just made me realize I hadn't "repaired" my broken spirit/mind . Please know by taking the time to share your technique, you literally saved someone . Now just as I do my physical exercise, I will add your suggestions , as well . God Bless You !

Constantly going back to the 'power of now!' It's like a reference book!!!

Keep being strong, always believe...the Lord will provide..you only need to 'ask!' ✨

This is like magic, «i’am not my thoughts, i can simply observ them»

I have problems with obsessive thinking and can’t sleep well because of it. And advice?

@@ElenaRata-iv5pk I have found that whenever obsessive thinking arises, it is important for me to switch to the perspective of the watcher. That way, I can simply observe the thoughts and they don't have to affect me. This is hard, of course, but the alternative is a great deal of suffering, as I am sure you know. Also, I think it is essential to develop this ability when things are good. That way, when things are difficult, I am better equipped to resist the tempation to participate in or buy into my obesssive thinking.

And what made that event happened that day, can you please share??!

@@sanatanayogavidya2341 I was in a group repeating a mantra over and over. When we stopped I started walking. I forget what the mantra was, but it does not matter. It can be anything.

Once you can do that everyday

@HareKrishna777hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama

@@ChristophBackhaus Is it ok to think about things that had happened before, good things, from time to time when we decide not to be present? Or is it bad if we are not present all the time?

So that's who you are. Lol.

All of you amazing followers 👌👌

🕊

How do you do that?

I still don’t know how to calm down my voices in my head. Talk talk I am still the same. Suggestion please

Me too

Yes you get that and more, when give the brain a rest. Don’t think just look around you relaxed, aware ( awake) 👍

Yes. Thank you . When you bless others , Universe already gave tolken of blessing to you.

You are great

Thank you, that's much appreciated 😊

q is

Yeah, we can't stop thought. Some call it the 'inner voice', 'inner monologue'. I've just found out there are people who don't have an inner voice or an image in the brain. It's a condition called Aphantasia. I believe that J Krishnamurti may well have had it. I've watched aphantasiacs on RU-vid, it's amazing to hear them explain how their mind works.

This is not a good approach. By not giving attention to your inner voice, you are not able to know what’s going on. Why you react to things the way you do? In what ways your biased point of view affect those around you? Specially your loved ones. It’s best to approach this voice with wonder and curiosity. See what you learn and grow from it.

@@ivceballos true for me. I read power of now, successfully shut my inner voice off. Now i realize how important it is to have a inner life , I survived worst situations in past because I gave myself company. Lol

but wait, isn't anything mental, my own attention given to occurring thoughts ? .. hihi (::)

@@tripzincluded8087 you can give attention without thinking..

@@carolineclaeys1856 attention is given to , any thing including thinking.. thinking, at least what we call thinking simply happens .. and by giving our attention to it, the thoughts, it than becomes 'my thought' .. attention is one of our strongest 'powers' .. and like Eckhart Tolle and many others always suggest is to keep the attention in the heart. (::) "in Grace & Gratitude" [I 'think' we are on the same page]

@@carolineclaeys1856 nope

Hello, whattzsapp Dr John lovespellss which can help you get your ex back immediately, prevent your partner from cheating or breaking up with you..

Thanks for sharing I will try that

Repent to Jesus Christ ““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:8-9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

It works because it's distraction. It isn't healthy in the long run, though. You're choosing to focus on something that is more pleasant than your negative thoughts, and since the conscious mind more or less runs on a single thread, you're feeling fine for the time being. However, suppressed or repressed thoughts have a way of integrating into your subconscious, where they become much more permanent and difficult to deal with. Healthy distraction in small portions is fine as symptomatic treatment. That is what single-pointed meditation is: a conscious choice to dedicate all your attention to a single point of interest - your breath, your fingertips, your sensations - so that it rids your conscious mind of the capacity to focus on anything else, including the negative thoughts. Contrast that with analytical meditation, which is a holistic mindfulness of the here and now, offering an opportunity to treat the real problem. The Dalai Lama talks about the difference between these two forms of meditation.

You are identifying with the mind. Practice disidentifying

​@@regulareverydayhalfbirdguy You've hit on something I've often wondered about. At first glance, it would seem that replacing negative thoughts with positive ones is good. But positive thoughts are still "thoughts." So in other words you're saying while being positive is much better than being negative, what we really want to do is simply "be?"

I hope you are doing well...enjoying peace that comes from awareness of the moment.

You are not alone, I'm doing the same.. 🙂 Enjoy your present moments. Namaste 🙏

I too am an overthinker due to a cruel childhood. Mine only strikes when I have a disagreement with my partner if she pushes me away for her own space, rejection. I keep myself busy and I'm building in my hobbies and getting out in nature and finding my own place in this world at 54. Every time I hear that voice I tell it to shut up, I visualise it and I get a spade fill it with soil and bury it, I muffle it and find something positive to do with my time, walking my dog, the gym or simply creating something with my hands. But seeing that voice as a foreign invader and burying it, focusing on the earth I bury it with and listen to the muffled sounds as the voice becomes choked and eventually buried until I can no longer hear it, then I smile and go about my day. Your not alone.

@@sarahdowling2478 I love your metaphors about burying that voice.

@@ywriteu it really works as I am plagued by that inner voice it can be destructive.

how sweet , my dad did the same thing to me when i was a child and still i remember those moments and it always brings me sense of peace ,i hope your child will remember those moments forever

Dear friend, I have very strong feelings and memories about my childhoods perception, at that time I was true natural. And I remember how it was terrible, when a thinking mind of adults took away the naturalness of my being, as their thoughts and behavior shackled me in chains. And that entry into me of the thinking mind was accompanied by nightmares and horrors. Therefore, right now you are witnessing how your born magical divine child is turning into a rationally thinking being roughly shackled by adults.

@@backupviber6285 that what’s the Thinking 🤔 mind tells us,but ask it: ist that veal so??? Pause and feel!! Inside 😲And the Answer is, I don’t know!Never believe the 🤔 mind! 🙏💜🙏 🌹

Keep teaching him that so he will never forget it. I wish I was taught that as a child!

Lovely 🙏

That would be good.

or parents can too :)

It is not the future of education if communists have anything to do about it, which they do.

The oligarchs won’t let that happen…they just want everyone to obey and be sheeple.

It’s the very definition of “Enlightenment”: the dis identification with mind. Once that realization happens everything is effortless

hope you’re doing better now john!

I hope you’re keeping and feeling safe John, you are a valued person on this planet. We all have our purpose even if it takes us some time to understand what that is ♥️

Maybe U should, or could, is a better word, Check out some AA meetings. I myself startet my spiritual journey in a 12step fellowship some years ago🌸 Noe I do not have the need for it longer🙏 But for a time, this was paramount for my fysical, mental and emotional healing🌸 Wish

Wishing you well.

Hope you’re doing better 🙏🏻

For me, it’s imagining you are standing up and flows come shock on your head (thoughts), you need to lie down and peace with come back

SO TRUE! ❤

And Suffering is only a thought

You as well!! 🦄🤗Namaste.

May all your dreams come true too.

For you too, Varsha !

That was lovely! You're a good person! I really liked this comment!

Ending the mandates FREEDOM

What was the purpose of this comment? Was it to have others "feel better" or was it (far more likely) a cry for help and for you to "feel better". If it's the latter then... You matter... go get professional help!

I think that person who replied to your post is just unconscious. I don’t know what they are even doing on this channel. I thought that your comment was very nice and thoughtful. Love back from the US. We are all one.

The thing that is subtle about this idea is that the past may not really be what we think it is. So trying to undo it or change it may be pointless. Which it is anyway.

@SorcererCatori Halona I get it. Scammers like you pick a channel that gets a lot of hits so you can try to promote your thing to many people. Clever. Wouldn't you rather do something constructive?

@@harmoniabalanza Imo you are projecting. Trait of NPD people.

@SorcererCatori Halona You're busted! By RU-vid

I start counting numbers but I know this is another thought, better than the negatives ones though. Do you have more ideas but paying attention to breathing?

I just started trying transcendental meditation, it's helping a lot. I'm a serious over-thinker. I just researched it, made up a 3 syllable simple word that has no meaning, and started for 20 minutes right when I wake in the morning. I sit comfortably in bed, breath in without thinking about how I'm doing it, very quietly say the word slowly as I release the air. It works! I can go longer than 20 minutes now, with no thought, and it's wonderful! I'm about to start doing it in the evenings as well. It's really calming, I need that!

Thank you!!! I concentrate on my stomach and get that tinggling in my solar plexus but can‘t stand it for long and start giggling and go back to my head then 🤨 So from now on I listen to my breathing 🙏

I wonder if concentrating in any doing, like dish washing, won't have the same awareness effect. I counter numbers just when I go to bed and can not sleep.

@@reginafarias Be aware of being aware is the best thing you could do

He said the "body" cannot distinghuish between reality and thoughts. I think that is an important difference, since your body is what makes you feel certain things.

I couldn’t agree more. I love when he has a little chuckle.

he's a true gift to people.

🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍

right?the man made a career just because of that alone!

@@classicalperformances8777 that alone not quite sure ....

@Phileas VanderLydon the mind talking continuously is not a fraud its a fact, searching to relax from it is the goal from spirituality to psychiatri, but from this fact they might be some fraudulent guru no doubt about it, you need to see from yourself ultimately no need to believe anybody just check ✅ your experience.

@Phileas VanderLydon Yes i m French, if you don't understand its ok, maybe this teaching is not for you, maybe your mind dont talk in your head, perfect you alredy free no need to hang around on youtube just enjoy life 🧬

@@DavidDarnaud I understood you completely. I’m Australian. I guess some are just open to it and others aren’t. And that’s ok. It’s like anything. Awareness of self and ego

So beautiful

Did you write this?

This is so beautiful! Peace to the one who wrote it

That is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!

maybe you are a nut case? ever think that???

I am so sorry to hear that. 🙏🏻❤

🌺 'Whatever works' quote by Eckhart (German talk) Sometimes it helps to get a massage, but its a bit more unlikely. 🍀

I went through something horrible last year at this exact time. Power of now got me through that. Looking back, it could not happen any other way. You got this, because someone/something knew you are so strong that you couldn't fail. I know these are just words, but I send all my blessings to you 💜

Michael Singer’s lectures are very complimentary to this message. Both of these men have been tremendously helpful for me in my awakening. You are seeking, and you will find what you need. May you find peace and joy. One Love.

I wish I knew how to start thinking more positive I'm scared now thinking about it!?

Very good

Thank you! I’m going through a very difficult time after a traumatic couple of years, and I keep hearing in meditation “just say thank you”! Thank you for the re-affirmation of the message.

Thank you. To you, too! ❤

I have always known that I would have enough, _+guess what.....

That's very very true..! Eckhart Tolle really knows what he's talking.. he's probably the greatest living spiritual teacher..!

Agree. That's why I started being aware of my thoughts. It's made a difference in a short time already 😊

@@IndraBartona yes, quoted from Master Eckhart in this talk! He makes it so clear. Just tell them to "keep it down up there, I'm trying to Be!"❤️

@@CBbehereNOW So true! Lol 😂

So true..!

This is a huge thing to realize. It explains a lot in our culture--the nervous system doesn't always know what's real and what's not. That's why horror films and violence are so bad for children to watch. They program the nervous system with trauma that's not even real! No wonder most people are crazy. My mother wouldn't let me watch stuff like that when I was a kid.

Bahahahahaha 👌😂😂 it’s hilariously true

@@SavannahVu1985 Yoda does fit although the first Star Wars movie was way before Eckhart's books.Yoda was inspired by another short wise man, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

😄😄

Actually Yoda was created after Maharishi who brought Transcendental Meditation to the West. George Lucas is a transcendental meditator and put Maharishi into Star Wars by creating Yoda

Yes!!!!

Something about his laugh just makes me smile. ❤

It is as if he is observing his thoughts not connecting with them.. Great achievement. I find myself meditating about these thoughts as Eckhart talks about them. Safe journey...

Same here! I live a different life now and I’m grateful I was able to conquer myself. Where are you from?

@@scottrichard5792 I'm betting she didn't reply... because she recognized you as a sociopathic predator.

I have read and reread The Power of Now, many times and it is a wonderful book. Now I am enjoying life in the present, not waiting to be happy in the future! 💕

Also A NEW EARTH from Eckhart is worth reading.

Thanks for the awarness its books, speeches and reflexions give us as a sweet cotton and light to our souls. Thanks it helps to heal ♥️🙏🏼👣

What does pain body mean?

@@bridgetjones5695 Eckhart addresses this in his book, The Power of Now. Page 27. 📖 His wife also gives teaching on the "pain body". She operates under her own Surname which i now forgot. You can also follow Aaron Abke, Mooji & Rupert Spira for great teachings. Lastly, you can also read the book The Shack by Paul Young. Great stuff !

Amen🙏

I have never heard this before. Powerful!

I think I accidently reported your reply...sorry. I was actually enjoying reading it..just not used to watching on my phone

@@niamhmaya9348 Okay, thanks for letting me know.

I too laugh when I see the same thought again. I’m like really? Didn’t the mind just think that? Paying attention to these things really takes the load of stress off us.

i use this too and then i laugh

Its only now im beginning to realise my thoughts are almost...normal lol..

...that s a high practice... a voice says🤣... nur Spaß! We will get there! We heard and understood - moments count! NAMASTÈ 🙏all you wonderfull & loving souls

Thank you.

The comment above goes back to a channel that has 1 subscriber. Why would someone do that?

@@mindalandrith3487 because this channel is fake and all about Whatsapp fraude!! There are more persons here Ramatu Haruma, Salvadore Loise, Halona, JJ Glory, Obo, etc etc . I've reported this to RU-vid.

The Law Of Attraction is totally real. The body don't know the difference between the actual event & the thought of the event alone. Pretty sure science proved it by now ;) Close to unbelievable.. Great times

Of course as we really live fully in the present, all the time

Thank you! You too

Bless you, thanks. The same to you my friend

Yes Lucy!! You too ❤️🔥🚀🙏🏼

Thanks. You too! Kind regrds

Sending hugs 🤗 and wishing good luck on your way too 🙏

That's nice to hear 😊

Its def a daily journey

I am doing the same, trying to practice consciousness each day.

That's also my thought. Each day I keep continually working on being present 😊

Same here

And if it goes on long enough day after day so you become addicted to the chemical dump from those emotions you become to expect them at a certain time of the day everyday rush hour traffic in the morning leaves you stressed and angry at 10 this was going to happen Saturday morning when you're not at work at 10 you going to be stressed

It is ABSOLUTELY TRUE!

This is exactly what I want to write every time I watch the videos!! Thanks for saying what I couldn't.

😂🙌🏽

🕉

Yes, this.

These are the positive thoughts..But they are thoughts..So be cautious...Thank u

imagine if you'd read Seneca and the stoics as well:-)

listening "You are not your mind" was the most liberating statement i ever heard

@@carlosmunoz2148 Yes! This resonates with me too. It frees you from your thoughts. Very powerful.

I wish it was that easy for me Oscar

@@ricka0917 it truly is that easy, just pay attention to the NOW, the very moment outside of you.. breathing, your hands, nature or just smile. In all of this, there will be no thoughts at all. Once you realize you are not in yr body or thoughts, but you are spirit and only the observer, you will realize the illusion of thoughts (bad visitors). The book of Eckhart will be of great value: THE POWER OF NOW. Also follow Mooji and Rupert Spira on yt. Great stuff!

@@eekay5710 Hello OK thank you for your response it’s not that easy for me I have anxiety and panic and social anxiety and depression I wish something would help me

@@ricka0917 Richard, you are bind by your very own words. Look all the negative things you are saying in only one sentence: 1. its not that easy for me.2. i have anxiety and 3. panic and 4. social anxiety and 5. depression. Do yrself a favor and stop thinking /saying any negative thing about yrself. Speak the words you want to see yrself. Picture a healthy, free, successful man and speak words accordingly. i don't say fool yrself, i only say stop breaking down yr being, as this is no good. it ís easy for you, just start doing the right thing .. and remember, nothing will change unless you change. Blessings!

@@eekay5710 I appreciate your help I guess the bottom line is you’re saying to change my train of thought I guess?

Yep 😞

Thankfully and it is a beautiful thing to see. The fact that people start to recognise the root of years of negative overthinking and get the tools to change this, that’s absolutely brilliant.

🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 YOU BET !!!

Understand totally, me too 😞

The past just consists of memories, the future only consists of expectations. Live in the present. The rest are just thoughts. Every time you struggle at night, think of this comment. I care, you are loved, you can move past it. You are awesome.

Your not alone , if that helps . Mindfulness….
