I have a very active mind which is very difficult to switch off. However, whenever I listen to Eckhart it switches off completely. It's so wonderful to have come across Eckhart and I'm sure everyone here is as grateful as I am 🙏
Yes Amen❤🙏
There is already nothing wrong with absolutely anything including having a very active mind. That’s what’s happening = the absolute appearing as an active mind. How can that be right or wrong? The only apparent problem is that subtle belief you have that this as it already is shouldn’t be and that includes having or not having a very active mind as if you have any choice over that matter. It’s freedom, that you ignore noticing btw, appearing as a busy mind which is already everything you have ever longed for because it excludes nothing and is everything, and that freedom is the freedom to have a busy mind.
Yes, there is nothing separate from anything, not even that apparent “you” 😂
No one escapes freedom. ❤
You can only opt out of thinking, when you would rather die than remain trapped in thought
I also have very active mind and Eckhart helps me much with his guidance
“On letting go we find our grip”… the active mind gets in the way of greatness ✨
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
I personally think that acceptance is the most valuable emotional state to cultivate. Imagine if we accepted everything exactly as it is. Then we could have the opportunity to choose what to address, and not just be reacting to life all the time...
The Advantage of Acceptance is that when you really accept a situation as it is, you suddenly stop producing negative thoughts which generate suffering : Catastrophizing, Why this ? Why this happens to me ? This will never stop or go away and so on.
Remember "pain is necessary, suffering is optional" this is the main lesson of Buddhism
Absolutely! 😊✌
It's impossible to override the reptillian survival brain, if something truly traumatic happens in your life, you cant just simply 'accept' and all goes away. Sometimes a lot of healing needs to happen which can take years, especially childhood & ancestral traumas.
@@jayong1977 Meditate, Brother, meditate.....
@@jayong1977 Absolutely nobody ever said that Acceptance happens overnight, most of the time it needs a lot of efforts and time and as they say time heals everything.
This is wisdom... And it shows how difficult it is to accept ourselves. _You must start from where you are, not from where you want to be._ This is from Steps to Knowledge, from the very first Step, aptly enough. There are no shortcuts...
Thank you!
If you breathe slowly and just accept and acknowledge thoughts and feelings by saying “ I am aware I’m feeling sad/ angry/ frustrated/ frightened and it’s allowed , even I am aware I’m resisting feelings it’s allowed, it’s ok, this stops you fighting it and really helps because you are learning awareness and accepting the feeling or thought completely ❤it stains you to observe feel and allow
Autosuggestion is an overlooked tool. Emile Coue discovered it in the 1800s when he had half his patients say to themselves each morning, "every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better." The ones who said it (didn't even believe it, just doing what they were told) showed demonstrable improvement compared to the other half. It's been studied & repeatedly shown to be real.
EFT/Tapping is the same principle, but with more emphasis (knocking it into yourself).
My psychologist has alway told me that quote. Daily positive affirmations are very good.
But it is not fair that some ppl have it worst. I cannot accept my pain, fatigue, anxiety.
@@m3kbeatz _"I cannot accept my pain, fatigue, anxiety.."_ That too is a form of autosuggestion. If you tell yourself something isn't fair and you can't accept it, the odds are 100x higher that that's what you'll identify with, feel more truly as your reality, manifest it, etc. I don't know what your situation is. But, there's always someone suffering more. I see blind people and can't begin to understand what it would be like to be me (with all the wrongs done to me _and_ that impediment). Yesterday I saw a morbidly obese woman in wheelchair at a bus stop. I have the luxury of getting in my car when I want, go where I want, without that indignity (I actually saw her the day before. It stood out to me even more how down I'd be on myself if I had to struggle that way _in addition to_ my mental problems). There's a lot to be thankful for. Often we "get" something from dwelling on how unfair things are. We reject reality as it is (including the good things that others would feel blessed to have).
But, I know where you're coming from (without knowing your details). Wrongs/injustices/unfairness are real and worthy of recrimination. That's the irony. You're perfectly justified in focusing on that. But, where does it lead? What do you get from it?
Well said Jane., Accept your non acceptance too. Good
It doesn’t matter what the beginning of your story is like. The pages before you are blank. You are the one who gets to decide what is written. It is a story you will constantly revisit as you shape your path. You will discover interests hidden around the next corner, or the next.
So keep going. Tumble into this realm as often as you like. Write your story. Start where you are. And change the ending.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💕💕💕
Well-put.
👏 👏👏 love this you are absolutely correct
I love this teaching. It seems unnatural at first but with patience the space between you and the trauma increases. For years I have mentally wrestled with my trauma and the residual anger etc but it's the wrong path to go down.
Thank you, Eckhart - this is saving me.
You are such a gift, Eckhart.
Haha yes. Such laughter and wisdom he inspires and imparts. :)
I woke up one day feeling that my physical body is just a shell. Then whatever emotion arises, I consider as vibration only not affecting the real me(Spirit). It works every time!
Love this!
Acceptance is the key to everything. In my deepest meditations I stopped trying to catch my thoughts. I started not only accepting them but appreciating them genuinelly. Then it took a really long time until the next thought appeared. Several days actually.
If you can't accept something, can you accept the fact that you can't accept it?
Sometimes this will move the boulder out of the way.
Accepting is everything. ❤❤❤
No its not. It is not fair some ppl have it worst and must live the same life.
@@m3kbeatzyou're right, it's not fair, but what is the point in resisting that fact of life? It solves nothing, and causes you more suffering in the mind.
Stress is the result of non acceptance of this moment
What you resist persists ✨
Our challenges at work (in the factory) the lads often say "it is what it is"
However they dont realise the depth of its wisdom .
No they don't. Whoever said youth is wasted on the young? But someday , if they live long enough, they will get it.
I love the gentleness and humility with which the wisdom is offered. "One way of approaching it, which may be helpful to you.... And next time we meet, you can tell me how it went.... You need to try it first. If it didn't work, we'll talk again."
Doing away with the conflict between what you want and what you have by WANTING what you have
I noticed this feeling when I got stuck behind a tractor once. I wanted to over take but it wasn't safe. So I had to stay put and to accept this. As soon as I did this the tractor turned off. I have noticed this many times now.
Lmao
It's not what you want versus what you have.
You want what you have.
Then spaciousness develops around the condition.
You focus on the spaciousness.
Resistance (condition) becomes less strong.
Thanks Eckhart. 24 March 2023.🍁🍁🍍✡💖👍👍🐘🌹🌴
I always hear people saying “Once I’m back to my old self”. I’ve accepted that that’ll never happen mostly because it’s impossible🤷🏻♀️
Well-said. I never try to "go back" but work from the point of changed reality. Also: Sorry, Angela... I think I might have responded to one of your comments before. Are you the one with the sick husband? Not trying to creep you out... but I am German and (I think) I clearly remember the name...and the woman was in pretty dire straights
@@moonhunter9993 yes! He was in a coma all of November on life support. Thanks for remembering. He’s still with us and doing better. It ain’t over until it’s over right enough. I had a freak out that day I posted. Hope you are doing well❤️
I once experienced had a kensho experience where my body and mind dropped. Felt like I melded with everything and as they say returned to my true home. Felt a happiness that was so familiar. Didn’t last but that taste of myself was so familiar. So I felt like my old self.
When you find acceptance, you can make real change happen.
Acceptance is not liking or disliking. You can accept something that's a reality and don't like it at the same time. It is no passivity in no way.
On the contrary with acceptance comes the drop of any resistance, thus great inspired actions with peace of mind can arise, if needed...
He means stop resisting, Stop seeking the peace and stillness. Allows what is, then peace will automatically decend.
I never have trouble accepting what is partly thanks to Eckhart's teachings.
When I go into presence I shift into unified consciousness, or the quantum field and just feel so grateful for the present moment and as my heart activates so does my brain and my connection with spirit solidifies...from this place I've healed things doctors can't and am consciously created my reality and am living my dream. It all starts with presence and from there cultivating heart-brain coherence.
Ohhhh
@@Maribelinda63 it all starts and ends with presence. Reading the “power of now” in the year 2000 really changed my life.
How do YOU go into Presence? Thank you...
@@gloriasilence Everytime I think about it I stop my thoughts and place gentle focus on breath body and everything but focus on n othing..just BE. I go deeper into it in meditation and augment it with heart-brain coherence and a simple breath formulas I use that I teach students that allows you to hold your presence longer...
@@TheMediumChannel Thank you for your reply... It's the heart-brain coherence I must be interested in...or so it seems...in this moment... 🤗
She speaks for me as well on all this. Bless her honesty.
Her statements about getting back to source, really makes sense. I call that source God and I believe we long for that connection.
Ну как ему удается объяснить все так понятно и правдиво?
Как же здорово, что Экхарт есть!!!❤️❤️❤️
- I just want to let anyone who’s reading this comment to know; Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not ✨
Im allowed
❤
That is very profound. I have written that down in my diary. Thank you.
❤❤❤
Simply start occupying the mind ..drawing knitting this is a simple but successful approach.
This is very interesting, but when I sort of experienced something like a very strong pull towards up, at the same time I realised that all is gone, all that I was used to - all is meaningless, darkness, unreal, so I naturally cried very much, and the experience of "the pull towards presence" at the same time meant mourning of the world as I knew it before. Again, it is 15 years since it has happened and know I sort of understand it all better, but I cannot go to that state anymore.
I loved her question and Eckart's reply. Not too long ago, I wouldn't have had the slightest clue what both are talking about.
Beautiful to see u laughing and smiling dear Eckhart
Love this as well ❤
WOW after listening to this today I’m now in my bed accepting every feeling thought and feeling in my present moment and YES I feel the space that alleve, self soothing or a cup of tea could never give me ever
I ACCEPT, and THANK YOU FOR YOU ECKHART🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
It’s a small space but a GREAT space for me, the relief is magnified by the acceptance 🙏
The last three years has been particularly difficult to accept what is…the best I can come up with to date is that my fear (anger, sadness, anxiety, etc.) helps exactly NO ONE. Myself included. Not a single being benefits from it. In fact it most certainly harms me and anyone near me. I dont wanna feed the darkness anymore so I work on declining all feelings that feed it. Not rejecting or fighting them. Naturally thats what it wants. More energy in whatever form it can get. I simply try to find a point of neutrality. As in “whatever is happening in the world has been,
and will be, happening with or without my existence so as one tiny little soul the best I can offer to the world is peace. I cant change the world but I can change it for myself and those who come in contact with me”
Hope that helps someone. We’re all in this together thats for sure 🙏🏼💕🤗
You become more interested in that little space around it than in the condition
acceptance is the price of freedom
Acceptance is freedom.
Now you allow the universe to unfold infinite possibilities according to your preference, not resistance.

This is so powerful and of course useful. I started a job recently and we were being trained remotely. I had one monitor while others followed with two. I had trouble following the instructor on camera while clicking in different browsers and felt quite nervous when I wasn't keeping up. Immediately I thought about Eckhart, and told myself to own my nervousness and discomfort. It worked very well. I wasn't relaxed, but I owned my reality and it gave me peace and confidence at the same time. Amazing! Thank you Eckhart! 😊
... 😮... It worked for me... Instantly 😊
Acceptance would cut down on stress levels I’m sure.
Acceptance can be hard. But you really cannot change what is in the present whether good or bad. Acceptance is always a work in progress
I've had the same physical tension for years, even though I was already aware that I am awareness itself. but the physical tension could not be solved by devotion alone. Only when I could accept complete love for myself, which ultimately is SELF, as a person, did the physical pain dissolve. Realize that you are valuable and God only wants what is good for you. You as spirit are all that exists. Infuse your body with awareness that you are and know yourself as the Spirit of God and all will be given to you. Listen primarily to your inner voice. Forgive yourself what you thought of yourself, it wasn't God's thoughts.❤
Thank you Eckhart. You helped me today.
He is a brilliant teacher. He gave the best advice this and other times.
Reality has a way of getting our attention if we resist what is. For example: Conflict is a symptoms of resisting the Truth. It’s not a punishment but a guide to let us know that we are missing the mark. 🕊
I like the way you've put it at the last line that "its not a punishment but a guide to let us know that we are MISSING a Mark"🙌
Endlessly grateful to you, ET❤
This is sooo great!!! Along the way, I discovered that the degree of suffering is proportional to the distance between my current experience and what I want or what I'm resisting . A process that arose, was getting real and naming what is going on when I'm not feeling ok, and being tender toward it. Welcoming each 'guest' : thought-feeling-mood- sensation, as if it is God/Source, visiting with a gift to wake 'me' up and come back to the reality of this moment.
Like a letting go, surrender, acceptance of here and now.
God bless all the fair dinkum (means for real) teachers out there. We are so bloody lucky to be living these lives, and being drawn to these blessed Teacher Beings busting suffering through their authentic awakening . Love it. 🌻🙏💗
What a kind, open hearted person!
SUCH A GIFT YOU ARE 🙏
Thank you for being you🙏🏻❤️
Tolle, you've become sort of an Ivan Pavlov for me. I hear the bell ring and/or just your voice, and I've automatically snapped out of my current toxic conditioning (thoughts) and feel a sense of peace and ability to be more still and "observe the observer". Thank you, sir!!!!
What you give energy, grows. So true.
Thank you so much, Eckhart. Peace and love. 🙏
I love you Eckhart and the pure joy that you radiate. You always lift my spirit.
Eckhart has the sweetest smile ❤
Yes!...relaxing into physical pain, creating a space around it, helps immensely. ❤️🙏🏼
I needed to hear this.. Thank you Eckhart for sharing your wisdom
This is just what I needed today. This gives so much strength! 🙏🏽❤️💫💫
I just love you Eckhart Tolle!!
Eckhart is a wonderful person.
Brilliant indeed! Acceptance of your inner reality to bring a little space...wow!!
All inner resistance is experienced as negativity in one form or another.
All negativity is resistance.
In this context, the two words are almost synonymous.
🕊
ECKHART TOLLE
Eckhart is so amazing 🙏❤️
This was a VERY useful "question", exactly my state of mind, and a very useful answer, as usual.
Thank you!
Love the water fall. Thank you dear Sir.
It is working, I feel it and will continue this acceptance , great wisdom and love Eckhart
I love the calmness and the wisdom ❤
Bless that girl
I just love Eckhart
Eckhart you are such a blessing 🙏
Thank you for this!
I definitely felt space increase around my heart and my brain region when I was practicing wanting the way things already are.
I feel like there is less strain....
Eckhart, you are our gem, our menthor, our guide! Your wisdom, your knowledge, your presence brought me through my dark night of the Soul. I am slowly starting to living the now, I am fully dedicated to enjoy life just as it is in the now! Sending so much love to you and to everyone else!
Thank you, I need to use this technique too 🙏
To me a keystone, this teaching.
It dissolved my restlessness once and for all and for all times for once. Not that I have no problems indeed! Just I don't see them as problems anymore...
There is no other way to sink into life to the fullest.
It opens many doors without us even noticing it.
To accept pain,- life is full of pain!-
it means accepting the life that we are and that will reciprocate our humility by showing us the way...
IT is so generous...
In the words of Christ it is
"Not resisting evil..."
Resisting hardens the heart,
to accept is to go back to living the life that we are, IT opens to life and there is no greater LlBERATION...
SO grateful 💓🙏
Exactly, thank you, it is also to have the awarness of the acceptance ❤
I love this man, he's a true blessing to humanity. This particular piece on acceptance in the, and of the 'now', starting with becoming aware of all the internal and external elements of the'now', is right on the money. Meaning that it works, a simple and powerful technique indeed.
Great, wonderful guidance.May God always blesses you Dear Master
Ahh I recognize what this lady is saying about a kind of resistance is setting in. Something I struggle with too and don't understand either. It feels like some part inside me does not want to grow in this new proces. So I am very thankful for the answer and advice that mr. Tolle gives. I will definitely try this. Bless you sir 🙏
Thank you for making and uploading the video!🙂
Gratitude
Total and Complete acceptance... 🙏🏻💐
God take care of all those beautiful people because you see there true beauty 🙏thank you
Thank you so much sir for your presence and wisdom. Lots of love and light
The right advice at the right time. Thank you 💖
This is one of the most poignant videos I’ve seen yet! I love it. ☺️
Wonderful! Thank you Eckhart i need this teaching!🙏🏼
My therapist talks to me about radical acceptance- regarding my son estranging from me and blocking my love for him and my baby granddaughter. I can’t seem to get there. It’s so painful that I’m struggling with wanting to live. I don’t like this world. It’s cold and cruel. There has to be a better place.
Radiate the tiny bits of love within you, moment by moment , with attention to your direct environment . We are are children of earth climbing the stairs of universal conciousness . much love to you , walk on and have faith . Much love to you
Never give up on yourself….just hold on each day, each moment and practice self care because your open and honest message has helped others (with the same issue) not feel alone. YOU are not alone ….there are many out there suffering the same.
I am going to try and practice this acceptance myself it’s not something I will find easy! ❤having been a fighter all my life
Thank you
@@lab4389 🌹
_"I don’t like this world. It’s cold and cruel."_ Liking it (or not) doesn't change it. That's radical acceptance. If you were dropped in the middle of the ocean with 5-20 minutes to live, almost nothing you think about (value judgements about how reality should be) would enter your mind. You would have an entirely different, un-narrated reality. The chattering mind wouldn't be of any comfort. You would face raw reality, this is how it is; nothing I tell myself will change it. You can have that without being dropped in the middle of the ocean. It already exists. You're just believing your story because you can, it's a habit, etc.
Thank you once again.😊
i love this man so very much!!! Thank you Ekhart, you are wonderful
That little space as small as it may be is HUGE!!!
Thank you Eckhrat 🙏🏾
It totally works. My marriage has been so difficult. I finally accepted it is what it is. I feel almost zombie like in a sense but it’s far better than the horrible emotions I was experiencing.
Literally exactly what I needed 🙏 thank you and love you Eckhart
Than you very much, Eckhart ❤
... Accept it totally... Want what you have😊.
Beautiful Sir!
I am an older woman. After listening to Mr. Tolle, I am aware that I resist what is. Moreover I've done so FREQUENTLY throughout my life. It is very unintelligent. Fear is the basis of my resistance I think, especially now when I NEED to address one of the biggest issues I've ever experienced in life. I thank Eckhart for his help.
Danke Eckhard das war jetzt genau das was ich geraucht habe ❤
“What you resist not only persists but grows in size.” ~ Carl Jung
This resonated with me right now.😇
Thank you
Vintage Eckhart is still the best Eckhart.
I professionally failed in my engineering career and now I am in some clothes business which is very difficult and for me it is so difficult to accept what is in my case. I cry on my destiny.
Accept that it's difficult to accept.
