Allow your dog to take you for a walk every day. It's good for the body and it's good for the soul.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are in touch with that dimension within yourself-and being in touch with it is your natural state, all your actions and relationships will reflect the oneness with all life that you sense deep within. This is love. Laws, commandments, rules and regulations are necessary for those who are cut off from who they are, the Truth within.

Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.
Eckhart Tolle

What I know for sure is that I am a temporary expression in physical form of the one consciousness that expresses itself throughout the universe. I am not separate from that.
Eckhart Tolle

I don't pray for anything, but I have used affirmations in the past a few times. They are really a bit more like realizations in that on some level they have already happened.
Eckhart Tolle

We can't escape from the world anymore we can't escape from the mind. We need to enter surrender while we are in the world. That seems to be the path that is effective in the world that we live in now.
Eckhart Tolle

Life is your deepest inner Being. It is already whole, complete, perfect.
Eckhart Tolle

What you react to in others, you strengthen in yourself.

If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The evolutionary impulse is towards disidentification from thinking and the arising of awareness or presence, but the gravitational pull of the old consciousness, or rather unconsciousness, is still quite heavy. It's been around for thousands of years.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Waiting is a state of mind that says we want what we don't have. Therefore, with every kind of waiting we produce an inner conflict between now and the projected future. This greatly reduces the quality of our life. Are you a 'habitual waiter'?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thinking is compulsive: you can't stop, or so it seems. It is also addictive: you don't even want to stop, at least not until the suffering generated by the continuous mental noise becomes unbearable.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Once bliss becomes normal it's no longer bliss, it's just peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
With awareness there comes choice. And so you are able to say: I allow this moment to be as it is. And then, suddenly, where before there was irritation, there is now a sense of aliveness and peace. And out of that comes right action.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Now is all you ever have. There never is anything else. So, you might as well make the now your friend. Otherwise, you are out of alignment with life itself.
