Eckhart Tolle
Image
I do not put much emphasis on periods of meditation - if you do meditation, it's fine - but the important thing is to bring the awareness into everyday life, into every little action that you do, into the varied challenges of everyday life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Be aware of your breathing. Notice how this takes attention away from your thinking and creates space.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Instead of being lost in your thinking, when you awaken you recognize yourself as the awareness behind it. Thinking then ceases to be a self-serving autonomous activity that takes possession of you and runs your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally.
