One way to become aware many times during the day is to take a conscious breath. Doing so breaks the stream of thinking.

If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The pollution of the planet is only an outward reflection of an inner psychic pollution: millions of unconscious individuals not taking responsibility for their inner space.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can be effective in this world without stress.
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
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The outer purpose belongs to the horizontal dimension of space and time the inner purpose concerns a deepening of your Being in the vertical dimension of the timeless Now.
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
To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The word Buddha comes from the Sanskrit word Budh, meaning, to be awake. So Buddha is not a name and ultimately not a person, but a state of consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Even running to catch a train or a taxi, you can enjoy the high energy of the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
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
A belief may be comforting. Only through your own experience, however, does it become liberating.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The future never comes. Life is always now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In the face of death, especially violent death, things don't make sense anymore. So death is the dissolution of either physical form or psychological form. And when a form dissolves, always something shines through that had been obscured by the form. This is the formless One Life, the formless One Consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now, and if the past cant prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Knowing yourself as the awareness behind the voice is freedom.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you accept everything for what it is without labels you are outside of your ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The atoms that make up your body were once forged inside stars, and the causes of even the smallest event are virtually infinite and connected with the whole in incomprehensible ways.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Don't get stuck on the level of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It's an abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself
