Image
One way to become aware many times during the day is to take a conscious breath. Doing so breaks the stream of thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Allow nature to teach you stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not a problem that needs solving.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you recognize that there is a voice in your head that pretends to be you and never stops speaking, you are awakening out of your unconscious identification with the stream of thinking. When you notice that voice, you realize that who you are is not the voice - the thinker - but the one who is aware of it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you accept everything for what it is without labels you are outside of your ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Present-moment awareness creates a gap not only in the stream of mind but also in the past-future continuum. Nothing truly new and creative can come into this world except through that gap, that clear space of infinite possibility.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If the price of peace were a lowering of your consciousness, and the price of stillness a lack of vitality and alertness, then they would not be worth having.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Music creates a bridge for people to move out of thinking and into presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Many people live habitually as if the present moment were an obstacle that they need to overcome in order to get to the next moment, and imagine living your whole live like that. Always, this moment is not quite good enough because you need to get to the next one.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When great loss happens - deaths close to you or your own approaching death - this is an opportunity for stepping completely out of identification with form and realizing the essence of who you are, or that the essence of anyone who is suffering or dying is beyond death.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The past has no power over the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The ego says, ‘I shouldn’t have to suffer,’ and that thought makes you suffer so much more. It is a distortion of the truth, which is always paradoxical. The truth is that you need to say yes to suffering before you can transcend it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not what happens in your life. You are the space in which it happens, which is consciousness itself.
Eckhart Tolle
