Accepting Your Unhappiness to Be Happy | Eckhart Tolle

It can be hard to accept your unhappiness (or, as the Buddha calls it, suffering) and not resist the present moment. Fortunately, when you accept this moment as it is, unhappiness does not last long in you.

Everyone has a pain-body, but some versions of it can be more difficult to investigate than others. Do you recognize the experiential qualities that trigger your particular pain-body? When it asserts itself, have you been able to observe the pain-body even as it takes hold of your thoughts? Have you ever been able to interrupt and dissolve the pain-body before it grips you? What techniques did you use to do so?

[@zene5526]

I am dealing with chronic pain because of stomach inflammation. Its hard to hold presence while dealing with pain and anxiety. Although I am trying my best.

[@veraintuizione6497]

Feeling accused of something I haven't done instantly hurts me. The problem is that I think that they are accusing me, most of the time it is not true. I feel it as an injustice.😠😂 But I learned to remain silent immediately after I heard this alleged accusation better to say that I feel AS such 😥I remain silent and calmly answer and explain what my real intentions were. It is an immense liberation for me and yes now I can almost always figure out when I have to stop, but I'm almost afraid to say it because the days are constant challenges.🤐😳😵🤢 But now I KNOW and that's the huge difference! It's like stepping out of a shell and finally feeling free🥰. Not that I am under the illusion of always being PRESENT but this is what my heart would like....❤️ As far as I am concerned, it was the teachings of Eckart Tolle that revealed to me what I always was looking for 🙏✨🌟❤️ Am I just at the beginning? Perhaps, however, time doesn't exist we know it! Eternally GRATEFUL 💓🙏

Could I ask you if are you on treatment or are you trying to solve it on your own?

Trying to laugh at my pain body when I catch the thought ! Saying out loud e.g. to a friend when with them wow that triggered my pain body. Leaving a situation too so I can take some space and have breaths to bring myself back. :)

[@izabelajanuario2708]

@@veraintuizione6497 can I ask if somehow you feel you are sufocating the anger when you are calmly explaining yourself? The reason I ask is because my pain body is activated in similar situations and although I know that's not really me and can remain calm on the surface, if I dig deeper many times I find I'm repressing anger

[@bestill365]

If your mind is creating a narrative that things are hopeless, you can accept that, but it doesn't mean it's true.

[@cecilcharlesofficial]

You don't control your thoughts. Thus you don't know what you're going to think of next. No one ever does. Even if it's the most logical thing that you think of next...you still didn't choose it. You just thought it. And therein lies hope. Because all we're really chasing is the feeling of "Ahh, yes, this IS all worth it, after all." And a myriad of thoughts and feelings arise without our control. Therefore the feeling you're seeking (non-hopelessness) could be here, in this next moment. Isn't that exciting? You're not in control. Thus you COULD feel better in no time. You have before. You're not even in control to stop it. It's ALWAYS been that way, and you still made it this far, thinking you're in control, when really you aren't. At all. And thus you don't know what's gonna happen next. It's a complete surprise. And then life becomes insanely interesting.

Dear Mr. EcKhart Tolle, I am, so, grateful for you. Thank you, so much, for your tremendous teachings. ❤ Today, while I was in line to check out my groceries with the cashier, a person in front of me was having a few set backs due to either the cash register or her credit card. I was not bothered by the wait. In fact, I simply did what you taught me. I took in a breath and looked around. I focused on sound around me. Then the manager came to assist; she mentioned that she was outside smoking, and then I could actually smell cigarette smoke. I looked at the candy and gum rack in front of me and touched one of the plastic bottles of gum and could smell the gum. My senses seemed to be more alert. Everyone thanked me for my patience. I said it was nothing because I enjoyed using my senses in the moment. I practiced being in the now. What an excellent feeling. I’ve been practicing it while driving too. What a FANTASTIC difference.

Ditto and thank you too, Sasha and Shelly I had ADHD since childhod which was a very long time ago and in a time and country where these issues were not addressed or ignored. ET is helping me a lot also with the pain body, from many traumas and a difficult life situation.

Update, I’ve been doing EMDR therapy with a therapist with some CBT and other modalities, but the EMDR has been a game changer for me like nothing else has been in my life, I’m so grateful and feel relief and hope for the first time in many many years. Not saying it’s for everyone, of course, just wanted to share an update :)

The pain body keeps trying to reassert itself. I feel it bubble up and get carried by it sometimes. It’s powerful, so be the observer even when it carries you off for a time

Listening to Eckhart is like pressing an internal reset button. I have an evil temper when it manifests, to stay fully aware,has, is, helping so much. After returning home, the daily follies, stresses, and egoic episodes of daily life are mostly trivial on reflection. I make a cup of tea and listen intently to my children's accounts of their day and what new wonder has caught their attention, I'm fully present and realise I'm blessed in this life. I have along way to go yet but Eckharts teachings always bring me back to sanity when I forget the present moment is all we have.🙏

[@veraintuizione6497]

"Do not resist evil". I truly understood these words of Jesus with the teachings of EckartTolle. Only in this way can we be of help to ourselves and above all to others. The Universe opens up and we are no longer something else from it, this is truly the most precious freedom, the only one that no one will ever be able to steal from us. Not even death. What a incomparable gift! Eternally GRATEFUL 💓🙏

[@nindiapowers]

I have a sad, despairing, forlorn pain body triggered by social interactions in groups and with individuals. I was a sad child because I felt tamped down by my family but it really got strong due to a teenage trauma. I have recently identified it as a pain body. So I have been able to dissolve it after it has taken hold of me by saying that's the pain body and staring at it as you recommend in one of your talks. I have caught it pretty early a few times too. I've had success with relax and release in the past week. Today I asked myself who is feeling this? Who is seeing this? After maybe 10 repetitions I knew I was in my conscious self because I could feel the despair more distantly, but still strong. Stayed, stayed, stayed. Somehow I started smiling and became ecstatic.

[@lee_annhammant]

[@amyj.4992]

I love how your break down the concept of the egos need for others. Whenever people talk shit about you, it's only because they truly feel that your life or just you, is more interesting than their own existence. And that is a damaging thing to internalize, just keep doing you because it makes you happy.

[@jessicapatton2688]

I realize where I’ve gone wrong, thanks to your words as guides. I tend to strongly resist what we would label as negative and I grasp at the good. True peace is accepting things as they are without grasping for more or avoiding.
