Image
Feel the energy of your inner body. Immediately mental noise slows down or ceases. Feel it in your hands, your feet, your abdomen, your chest. Feel the life that you are, the life that animates the body. The body then becomes a doorway, so to speak, into a deeper sense of aliveness underneath the fluctuating emotions and underneath your thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life wants to support you. But first you need to be open to life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Any action that arises out of stress is of low quality, and it contributes to human suffering. You are making yourself and others suffer.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Joy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you live in surrender, something comes through you into the world of duality that is not of this world.

Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean.
Eckhart Tolle

Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. … The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into this world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Surrender is surrender to this moment, not to a story through which you interpret this moment and then try to resign yourself to it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nothing that you plan is going to work out. Everything is going to be totally different than the way you expected. And things will constantly challenge you. Wherever you look the world is not as solid it seems to be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A self - a me - exists in every thought and every emotion. Suffering arises through complete identification with thinking and emotions.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and listen. No more is needed.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The most powerful state for a human to be in is the state of embracing completely the reality of what is - Now. It is to say Yes to life, which is now and always now. There is a vast power in that Yes, that state of inner non-resistance to what is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.
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.
