The Most Important Spiritual Practice | Eckhart Tolle Teachings 

"Do you know what day it is?" Pooh asked. "It is Today" Piglet answered. "Aah my favorite day!" Pooh said.

I remember almost drowning as a youngin. After all my struggle to get above water I just couldn't. At some point I gave up and started excepting the fact that I was going to die. In that realization as I desended, I was completely aware of my self. Things seemed like they were in slow motion but wonderful. It was the most beautiful peaceful moment I had experienced. Suddenly a really tall swimmer white dude came out of no where and pulled me up. As I gasped for air I heard him say "I gotcha buddy". I knew it was him saying it, but inside I interpreted those words as the universe speaking to me. Saying I gotcha, no matter what you experience.

I have been in a bad place lately, and recently had the opportunity to snorkel around a clear lake, as I was observing my breathing, suddenly I was present. I observed the fish just being. I let go of all the stress and just was. Now I’m thankful for this help to be present.

This man is so wise and loveable ! Just watch one of his speeches and all discomfort disappears.

“Alertness keeps thinking at bay”. I will stay alert today. Thanks Eckhart ❤️

Dear person, who reads it. Yes, I mean exactly you! Maybe we don't know each other. Still, I want to say, that I believe in you! You will certainly achieve your dreams and your happiness! Just don't give up and be honest with yourself! Now you have at least one person who constantly believes in you, which means you are fated to realize your dreams! No doubts here ^) *Best wishes for you ❤️ from a small RU-vidr..*

*Today is a great day to have a great day* is a great quote I use to remind myself to not let life slip by.. while we obsess over the past, or get anxious for the future

Waiting for Eckhart to speak in the middle of his pauses, keeps me alert. It’s a perfect meditation❤️❤️❤️🙏🌿🙂

Beautiful takeaway from this video.... The only thing that's relevant is whether I'm aware NOW in this moment. Not whether I will be able to be continuously aware. Thanks Eckhart!

When I am down… I remind myself to write down 10 things I am grateful for. It helps me to stay positive.

“Everything we say, do, and think, aligns us with darkness or light, love or grievance. Thus everything is a spiritual practice, whether we are aware of it or not. We are constantly, in every moment, aligning with one way of being or another. The choice is ours to make each moment of the day.” ― Ted Dekker, The Forgotten Way Meditations

This is a great man. I can feel the truth here. I know he is sincere and has a kind heart, I can feel it. I've suffered long enough and he is helping me greatly. Thanks!

I find it very easy to get caught up thoughts of the past and future. I like to focus on the sounds around me to ground me in the present.

When I can't sleep and its already midnight, I know its time to listen to an episodewith Dear Eckhart.... always thankful and can sleep afterwards :)

One of the happiest aspects of Eckhart's personality, is his unassuming nature. There are musicians like that. They don't gyrate all over the stage, they just play, or sing. They "just" are. The music is in them, and they are in the music. That is awareness.

“A powerful spiritual practice is consciously to allow the diminishment of ego when it happens without attempting to restore it.” - ECKHART TOLLE 🙏🏽☀️💜

Love how he covered this beautifully! Who else agrees?

Such a lovely human to provide us with these life changing teachings :)

Beautiful pointer: 'AM I AWARE NOW?' 'Let me check...' And then you are!

Its not a practice of will but a practice of being. Thanks eckhart

0:30 Use your five senses as awareness rather than as the interpreting mind. This would be enough as spiritual practice. This requires alertness, otherwise thinking take over. 5:46 Relaxed alertness. Vibrational frequency, like a dimmer switch, according to the situation. Thanks Eckhart. 🎪🎡🛴🍇🍮⚽️🤩🦃🤡🍉

*LIFE is a spiritual practice. Whether it’s brushing your teeth or competing in the OLYMPICS*

I love it when he shares stories and when he shares about his personal life... so interesting:)

Eckhart really reveals deeper truth of life in a simple language.

Such a blessing to have discovered The Power of Now, in a secondhand shop..it truly is Life changing, life enhancing, it has helped me with letting go of so much stress, so much anxiety. I am now 80yrs old and the fact I can stop thinking even for a moment is a gift.

You saved my life Eckhart. And I love you. Noone doctor could and the pills that were gaving me. I read all your books, starting from "The power of Now" which made me thinking kind of "here is something", but I did not understand it then fully, and later I went through all your books... Multiple times... And then I saw video "Wisdom 2.0 Eckhart Meditation" and I suddenly just in one second understood everything what it is in all your books I read before and didn't fully understood. Video have some power :D Just big thank to you curring my depression lasting for 10 years... Now I want to live and I am enjoying being alive, not dependent on external circumstances

I'm a sri lankan Christian. I learnt the real spirituality from eckhart & osho.

“Alertness about the background of your awareness”. And “Zen is entering the state of consciousness”

This man is an Angel sent by God

Listening to some sound from the environment without judging it, feeling the body at this moment, feeling the breath coming and going, looking where I am, the use of any sense without judgment.

Alert and awake disciple sending you all hugs and love 💕 from Beirut

It's the same as the process required to bring on creative thought, pay attention to everything without thought and without judgement. Keep letting go of the busyness in the mind, let it go and pay attention to the detail of what is happening around you, especially to nature which has no thought and just IS.

The power of now changed my life beyond recognition. I am indebted to Echart he is truly a Master. Divinely inspired and inspiring. May GOD Bless you and yours. M

I love this man.

His sweater is so calming 😌. Love this. ❤️

7:34 Asking the only true relevant question, ‘ am I aware now ? ‘ Is very a powerful pointer to awareness. Asking it, you may find yourself there now in awareness.

You can just feel that what Eckhart says is true. I can feel his presence and just listening to him speak gives me comfort. Imagine if the majority of humans had this awareness and positive aura/spirit/consciousness (whatever you want to call it). I hope he's correct that humankind is being prepared for a large spiritual awakening in the future. I may not still be around, but I want that for posterity.

I never know how busy my mind use to be. I think constantly about anything and most of it was just imagining things that never happen and mostly senseless things. But I was one day just downloading books and I came across his book (the power of now) it was when I realized how sick my mind was but I thank God that I had access to such knowledge now. And now I realize whenever I’m off track and I know how to come back to the present.

It's always lovely to listen to Eckhart's variations of now and being present; listen with a quiet mind and leave with a more open and less distracted heart. Thank you Eckhart.

Thank you!!! This is exactly what I needed to hear. By the end of this video I could hear my own vibration again...a sound that brings me peace and has been blocked from my awareness for a few years. I'm so grateful 🥲.❤

I have been a student of Echart's for over 10 years. It's so amazing that some of his teachings, like this video impact me so strongly only after watching it a handful of times.

Rub your fingers across your lips for ten seconds, like you're putting on lip balm. It will activate the parasympathetic nervous system to calm anxiety. I wish you all success, good health, opportunity and prosperity. ~ Much love from a Law Of Attraction RU-vidr💜

Thank you for keeping my faith alive. Gets hard sometimes but I know I can get through it. Bless us all!

The most precious gift in life!!the awakening of consciousness!! magnificent,great,great value indeed!,the strong presence is coming after a while of practicing and it exists continuously in myself!! knowing who you are,then the action is wise too!!🙏🙏my gratitude!!

Alert, aware and awake! Ahhh, living in the moment.... thank you, Eckhart, for reminding me of this tonight....✨💞

This morning I was walking my bicycle to a tunnel that passes underneath a busy super highway in downtown Grand Rapids (pop. 300,000). On my journey walking the bike to the tunnel, I met a large white tail deer (a doe). I talked to the deer, and she did not flee. We were 100 yards from danger, the highway which calls to the deer to cross during rush hour. I told her to stay safe. I never met wild animals until I began to bicycle, which heightened my alertness by a factor of immeasurable multipliers. I have a lot of white noise in my brain when I bike in traffic, and this man Tolle has helped me to block the verbal self babble and begin to replace it with the mountain stream.

I love you Eckhart ❤

Alertness is the key to everyday. Every day we look and listen and we see what is going on, because we are spirit and all beautiful things are available to us all. Awareness in every minute. Intuition is our best friend. Love it and listen to it. Spirit loves us in all ways. Sometimes we are interfering with information, but try it and see if you can get the message to help and love you on your path. Many blessings to all who hear this! I love you more than you could fathom. We all are working each day and shouldn’t be without gods divine messages. Thank god for all the people who try and succeed with sharing love. Love is all there is and all else is irrelevant. Stay the desire to commune with spirit and eventually all will be revealed.

Respect is only word for him .

I am autistic and I have synaesthesia so I hear colours and see sounds. 💖

Eckhart the Rockstar!

Now after some weeks having watched your videos, I begin to use them as a means of coming to the present. As soon as I see you I’m starting to be present. That’s really helpful.

It’s always enlightening to listen to you! Thank you!

Tks for all your Love and Compassion given always to us ❤ Dan

I really believe in power of our thoughts! So much love for everybody here!

RELAXED alertness... The relaxed part is such a key component to those of us who have had life experiences that have given us the growth opportunity of transcending living from a hyper-vigilant state (high alertness).

I like the way he pauses to think about what he will say

Tracking animals in order to figure out what they are up to is good practice for alertness.

Beautiful~ Thank You Eckhart~ love hearing you laugh!

Love you Eckhart.. Can't ever thank you enough for the space you have been... This teaching is life changing...

Thank you! You are absolutely right. I have been in situations where the light is dim but gets brighter and it’s not a problem with the electrical either. I have also experienced were I have seen waves in the air which was really different. I had to stop and think whether I imagined it but I know I didn’t. I was just so alert at what was happening before me.

Thank you dear Eckhart 😊😊😊😊

Hey Eckhart love your videos. 🙏🥰

" a relaxed alertness"....yes!

I love your laugh Eckhart. Thank you for being you. Stay blessed everyone ❤️

You make me smile ..... God bless you.

This man has upgraded my life. 🤎🙏🏻

We teach meditation in therapy. Literally can calm a frazzled over thinking mind. Sometimes we call it having faith instead of questioning everything. I discovered that in my life. Stop thinking and just live. The birds singing help us do this. Wind whispering. The feeling of the water. Notice 5 sounds. Then notice 5 things you can feel. Now taste. This helps being us from an anxious state to a state of peace.

When will I ever met Eckhart Tolle, the Great Teacher of the world.

This was incredible. Thank you Eckhart.

Eckhart Tolie is a true Guru a guru who can point and uncondition the listener to close towards presence stillness ..one can learn where one stands when we listen to him in a very serious sense ..ppl may lack the confidence to learn they have some degree of presence Eckhart puts one on the place and makes further progress ..it's a freedom typical.of a neat guru ..THANK YOU SIR ECKHART TOLIE..A GURU

I am so grateful for all the talks of Eckhart... He is and was a great help, my whole life through.... May this videos reach all these people, who are ready... Thanx. Thomas

Watching this man's videos makes me feel so anxious and uncomfortable and that's when I know I'm learning (or maybe unlearning) something.

Let’s all be here, in this very moment ✨

Thank you so much for bringing me back to my purpose of healing.

I have my own mountain stream. My ears ring constantly..

Whenever you feel that you are over there, ask yourself, "Where are you?" The right answer is " I am here." And "What time is it?" It's Now. Whenever or wherever you are, ask yourself "I am present?" When you're driven by thoughts, the question replaces you to the present. If you're alert, or present and not away, you don't need to ask yourself any question, just you are! With time practice, you will observe that time becomes shorter more and more between these questions.

Eckhart ... listening to you helps so much. All those exercises & pointing to where to practice how to practice. Thank you so much.

Reminds me of the saying "I took a lifetime to become an overnight sensation!"

Sometimes my ego gets the better of me, but a lot of people around me notice a positive improvement with me. I thank great people that I have listened to, and learned from. I'm just starting to learn from Eckhart, great man.

cant even play an 11 minute video without an ad interrupting 😳😳😳 SERENITY NOW !

This is my best day I listened to Eckhart,today I am so grateful,thank you:)

listening to him itself is meditation. especially when the mind chatters non stop. that's the greatest blessing. the presence of an enlightened master even if it is indirect, as here .🙏

„Thank you very much.🙏❤️🧚🏾“

Am I aware now. Wow the only mantra I might need throughout the day.

His speaches are always interesting, and often with some humour ! But, here I have to say that not all fully enlightened or aware humans are here just because it's enjoyable! On the contrary! Often, these beings are here to show the path to enlightenment to others seeking, and often those light beings have a very tough time on this plane. Because of their good nature and kindness. When not protected by a community or so, then they are very vulnerable. And the lower vibrational people seek to harm them to the core. This needs to be known. Because those few of the fully conscious beings need to be protected in order to help, whilst in a safe environment. 🙏

Lol love Eckhart always his so funny 🤣

Mr. Tolle is a marvelous teacher. Thank you.

Observe with awareness rather than the interpreting mind. Alertness keeps thinking at bay, or thinking over-powers you. There is no straining or willfulness behind the alertness. It's relaxed, like vibration can be higher or lower. Thanks Eckhart. 😊🍾🎺🌴💯🌲📯🍁

I love you and your presence and your teachings thank you so much :)

As the Buddha pointed out, mindfulness/presence might be the only spiritual quality you simply cannot have _too much_ of

I pretty much don't have a thought process, I have to actually take a few minutes & figure out exactly what I want to say or question that I may have. I've always have done everything from my Heart, think, feel etc.... Ever since I was a very young child (5 to 6yrs old) A year or two ago I also don't have a sense of time anymore either. I didn't even know that I had an Ego before my Spontaneous Spiritual Awakening a few years ago.? Then I learned & discovered that I had one but it's a Spiritual Ego instead of having a "Normal Ego" But I've always have been Present & Aware of everything around me without realizing that it was/is called Be Present or called Awareness, I was just Always Naturally in that State. I Feel & Believe that I was Born that way to prepare me for this Awakening.? Thank You for everything that you do & teach, Eckhart Tolle. 🙏🏼😊❤

He's a lovely man . A pleasure to listen to .

Thankyou eckhart, your wisdom is just what I need now at this moment, I’ve done absorbing everything I wanted to know, that was a fun time, sometimes overwhelming myself with information at times. However now it’s a wonder to just be free from myself, to sit and be, and in that being there is a deeper gratitude just for sharing space with a plant and even just being while everyone is busy and still I appreciate there being, it’s a state that I can’t even makes words of. This way of explaining an experience doesn’t even begin to define the wonder available to us in every moment, I can’t tell of it to anyone. I was a very unconscious person, parent etc, then life as it does, broke down and I was slowly born anew. Thankyou eternally, I feel like I got off with a life sentence for a crime I never committed, so every day feels vibrant and realer than I thought life ever would be. I am in love with this entire creation. Thankyou eckhart for supporting us through these times with words and wisdom for what we all can all become with some conscious effort. All it starts with is a thought to change your mind and use it as a tool rather than you be a tool for the mind to use. We are spiritual beings having a human experience, not the other way around. Love to alll.

Thank you Sara for your help for our family. You have helped us all grow and confront our pasts and the effect it has had on all of us. Blessings on you 💜💜💜💜🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Thank You Eckhart ❤️

Thank you😊🙏❤
