Transforming Fear and Anxiety in the Process of Conscious Manifestation

Learn more about the 2024 Conscious Manifestation Program: A Four-Month Advanced Training Program to Create from Presence and Realize Your Highest Purpose. The program begins with an opening retreat from May 30-June 2, 2024. Enrollment open for a limited time: bit.ly/YT-Conscious-Manifesta...
In this episode we'll look at:
-How fear arises in the body and creates "emotionally charged thinking" and how to break this cycle
-​Replacing fearful and anxious thinking with Presence, and how this becomes powerful “fuel” for Conscious Manifestation
-Completely accepting fear as the most powerful doorway to its dissolution
-The need to go beyond suffering in order to consciously manifest

Eckhart Tolle is a spiritual teacher and author, born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of 29 a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. He devoted the next several years to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth-translated into over 52 languages-he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States”, and Watkins Review has named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.”
Eckhart’s profound, yet simple teachings have helped countless people around the globe experience a state of vibrantly alive inner peace in their daily lives. His teachings focus on awakening consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking, and can be seen as the next step in human evolution. In the awakened state of presence, we discover what Eckhart describes as our essential identity-who we are beneath the surface-and its power for transforming our selves and our world.

Roxana, To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath and mind [brain] are closely related causing stress-anxiety. For a better life sit on a chair, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. Change happens from within by itself. Day or night, when taking a walk, sitting in a park, when reading, at office, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce negative social media. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes. Senior Counsellor.

What truly has worked for me from Eckhart's teachings when it comes to dealing with fear and anxiety, is knowing that the thoughts and feelings such as heart palpitations are not me but are the pain body wanting to take over. I then bring my awareness to the feelings of fear or anxiety and assert "That is not me" while holding my focused awareness on my heart or whatever part of the body is suffering. Within seconds, the feelings dissolve and fear/anxiety is gone. Love you Eckhart!

@@rhondapelletier2141 Amen to that. For whatever reason, ever since I was a small child I'd have profound thoughts, mainly fear of mortality and concept of time. It's haunted me all of my life and really held me back from living my life. Deep bouts of depression and anxiety on the side. It really has affected my relationships too. Even though it's cultivated a huge heart, deep empathy, understanding, love and care-it still has prevented me from going outside of the house, having steady work, etc. Such a dichotomy. My best friend of 14 years broke it off with me just months ago. So I'm going through such a rough time in my life. I'm moving soon too, new job, trying to face it all head on, and its making me quite nervous to be honest. It's back in the same city I was living in with her, as well.

I’m studying Eckharts teaching since maybe half a year now, reading, watching and listening to everything that I can get my hands on. And slowly, from time to time in my daily life, I start to feel a calm sense of presence arising in the background, quieting the always humming fear that lived there for so long. I can’t put in to words how freeing this is. It’s makes me cry from relief from time to time. Thank you! You changed my life!

It took me several years of consistent daily meditation to be able to relate to what he’s saying. The fear never really goes away, just your relationship to it changes. I’ll at times say to myself, this is fear, or rumination, or this is me being irritated. Once you become aware and present with your thoughts and use your emotions as a gauge, they can’t really hurt you and you see it for what they are, just thoughts. I still have a narcissistic father in my life, thoughts of my childhood emerge, and present day issues happen, and sure I get caught sometimes but the awareness takes their power away..and you’re just left with now.

I'm sorry for your suffering but, as Eckart has said, it's the suffering that can lead us to a place of acceptance and awareness.

"INTENSE AWARENESS is the RESULT of TRANSMUTATION of YOUR FEAR and ANXIETY and then ACCEPTANCE follows."--Eckhart Tolle

[@voiseaumusic]

I reread Eckhart's book 'A New Earth' again recently after a profound spiritual awakening and there was something he said that literally transformed the way I see life, and practically obliterated all fear and concern I had about where life was taking me. In one profound sentence he said "life is the dancer, you are the dance". 8 years ago when I first bought the book, I would never have known what that meant. Most people think it's the other way around. Now I realise in that simple statement, there is nothing left to fear. Whenever anxiety arises again, I just think of those words and feel deeply that truth in my body. Awareness and allowing are absolutely the keys to shining the light on the soul and the deeper sense that there is a spiritual consciousness underneath it all that is guiding us to higher dimensions of self-realisation. We don't have to mentally understand it, just surrender and trust that it is so. For a further amazing read if you're scared about what the future holds, read Michael Singer's book 'The Surrender Experiment' and his first work, 'The Untethered Soul'. Changed my life. Much love and respect to all of you on the journey. xx

I felt like I was beyond terrors like that and my mind was running wild with REASONS why it was happening and eventually my thoughts started to even laugh at me because I couldn't stop it. This lesson was such a blessing because I now know how to handle it. It was a humbling experience more than anything. As it turns out being present isn't an instant problem solver. You have to STAY present and eventually the problem will go. But even as Tolle said in this video, is the terror really even a problem? Or an opportunity to grow? Brilliant lesson. Much love and respect to you.

3:26- Once you observe Fearful thoughts, you start to dissociate then you can break the vicious circle of fear/anxiety If you immediately replace fear with positive thoughts, it will not be effective Replace it with awareness/gaps Fearful thoughts may still arise, you recognize them and even their futility Dony try to run away from what you are feeling or to get rid of it, just accept the emotion as it is. Accept 'what is' as it is. Say "I don't mind being anxious", sounds weird but try it. Try this with any type of unhappiness Same energy that was fear after acceptance gets transmuted to power/higher intelligence

Aaron Farkas hi Aaron , I actually haven’t practiced in a while as I’m doing the buteyko breathing method now morning and evening and sometimes during the day... it’s a 20 minute work and it’s on “breath “a channel you can subscribe to on utube .... it’s all about nose breathing and it filters through my day and is very focusing and relaxing 😌 it really brings presence and nowness to your day 😌

[@aaronfarkas6890]

Clare Smith ... Thanks for your reply and the information on the Buteyko? method...I’ve heard about it before, but thought it was either controversial or difficult to practice...how long have you been practicing? How many times a day? How much time spent on each session? How come you didn’t continue with EFT? Sorry for all the questions. Good luck. Stay safe.

Your right my monkey mind is running away with me trying to multi task and can’t be living in the now.

The anxiety I experience is so severe that it is almost impossible to put up with it. But I hope it leads to something better 🙏🏻 "I don't mind being anxious, I want to be aver of it so I can let out all the energy" But how long does it take to feel better? I don't have long before I have to be free from anxiety because I have to move back to my own apartment In to munth, where I will be all alone... That scares me. I can't even go out alone.. And I don't want to be all alone in my home.. I can't even go to the store and shop for groceries by myself.. 😭 Please pray for me 🙏🏻

[@jyothil.pillai7932]

This is a very powerful teaching from Dr. Eckhart Tolle. I completely follow every single word he said about how to tackle this feeling or strong emotional state and tap in to that energy. And I understands it can be short-lived in the beginning also. I am so surprised the teaching from Mr. Tolle was so detailed and it will be helpful for a lot of people like me. Thank you Mr. Tolle for this profound teaching, it was absolutely the need of the time🙏🙏❤️🙇

[@barbarakyle9869]

The wisdom and genius of your presentation hit me at minute 11:30! What I have learned from your presentation today is the power of accepting my anxiety as it is right now. Right now. Not to embrace it, but to accept it. I tried this and I felt incredibly calm. I felt peace for a moment. I can do this work every minute that I feel my anxiety wash over me. I completely agree that trying to replace anxious moments with 'pleasant' affirmations is useless. I learned that embracing yet not reacting to anxiety is a powerful, loving embrace of my entire self. Thank you Mr. Tolle. You've given me a powerful resource.

Don't push it away. Be present.

[@landline516]

Holy Moly ~ 16:33 When you accept it, (fear, anxiety, pain, death..), COMPLETELY, there is a transmutation of this energy into intense presence. Intense awareness is a higher intelligence. Fear accepted is fuel for consciousness. ~ My personal add on is ground your energy by going outside barefoot and connect with Mother.

[@makeacomment1001]

Thankyou for your knowledge, insight, experience and help. I get fear in the pit off my stomach because of abuse. I practiced your meditation. You taught me how to feel energy In my body. It worked. When I practice being in the present and pre emptying my mind there is a wonderful peace. My mind is not attached to the fear even though it is there. It is like knowing it is there and experiencing it, but not claiming or feeding it.

The pandemic isolated me, but now on the summer of 2021, my leg broke and I’m forced into even more social isolation. I’m left Alone with my feelings, noone to blame for them so it gets easier to understand what emotions and thoughts come from within. So with these feelings I’ve been working and Failing so much! Total ego-fear and ego-anxiety on the surface and no tool suffixient enough to transmute it. Until KZbin algoritms recommended this! Awareness! So simply, sooo difficult. Have noticed it takes several Years to learn how to transmute emotions, so propably will master this is 2024! Wish me luck.

[@relentless2685]

Living in the present is a gift and pushes anxiety away 🙏🏻 Amazing as always!

[@motownforever3475]

I am so grateful for this message from Eckhard. I am suffering from anxiety disorder and have this background anxiety in my chest almost every day since my childhood. When i started reading A New Earth it helped me already a lot to understand the connection between thoughts and the emotion "fear". Since 5 years a have a sleeping disorder and the anxiety grew bigger because i was fearful of not getting enough sleep. The anxiety pain in my chest was almost unbearable. It is still there but now i have tools to deal with it. Eckhard helped me so much improving my life and I know..if I am not in peace its because I not practise being in the present momnent enough. Being aware and holding still minimilizes the pain of the anxiety...but its something that needs to be practised...once i feel better for some days i tend to give too much attention to the surface reality again until fear comes back. The feeling of peace that arises when I am free from thoughts for a while and just be in this moment is so beautiful. No activity in the outer world can give me that. Again Thank you for this Video. I am sure many people with anxiety can relate to what Eckhard says. Much love from Germany

[@RobbeyT1]

I'm finding that by not labelling and classifying emotions as either good vs bad, or Joy vs fear then all emotions are just emotions wanting to pass through, they are a part of the body/mind experience . Emotions like Joy we let those types of emotions stay as long as we can because we enjoy them. However, with negatives emotions we either tend to run away, hide, or suppress them because we don't enjoy these, thus through resistance they grow and become problematic.

Surrendering to the anxiety is the gateway to get rid of it

[@arefriendsaseptic]

care to elaborate? what does surrendering to it implies?

[@sachinsharma-pl9kc]

Anxiety is an emotion but in our mind we perceive it as a negative emotion as it makes us feel uncomfortable.... so if we accept it as just another emotion without labelling it as good or bad , then we can allow our anxiety to remain inside us and accept it as a part of our personality...then anxiety starts losing its power...remember the more we try to get rid of anxiety the more it stays inside us....and the more we accept it, the more we actually get rid of it....so stop trying and start accepting ur anxiety as a part of who u are

[@arefriendsaseptic]

@@sachinsharma-pl9kc thanks

[@minnesota7010]

Doing nothing when the anxiety comes is surrendering. Your right.

[@petulaglave8992]

I am now able to sit with the feelings while being present and acknowledging the thought and feelings are there and let them go. The feelings and emotions subside gradually and go. However the body effect of the emotions of the thought has intensified but accept them by staying present because they are just thoughts that you are feeling or thinking at this time and don't make them true. Stay with it and they will subside giving you more power within you that you can overcome anything.🙏🙏🙏

Negative thoughts are the reminder that you are not feeling. and that you have lost yourself with time in a negative way. you must comeback to the present moment and feel the arising emotion in real time. that way you become present.

When my youngest son Jerome was about 10 years old (2003), he came to me at noon (I was preparing the food). He spontaneously said, "Daddy, you have to go through the anxiety through". Then he turned around and continued playing in his room. Another time he came to me and asked: "Daddy would you die if you could save the world like this?" I answered "Yes!" Then he said: "Me too!". Then he went back to his nursery.

@@jj80919 A psychologist told us that we have always been father and son, sometimes in reversed roles.

[@rumigirl]

@@jj80919 Totally. That was Spirit giving the message. Most of us 'channel' for the people around us, often without even knowing it. I came to realize I was doing it if I had a thought I wanted to share with someone, but wasn't able to do it immediately in the conversation. I would notice that I still remembered what I wanted to say, even if many minutes had passed; and when I finally got to say whatever it was, I remembered it (and spoke it) with no particular urgency. I thought, "Why am I able to hold onto this thought for so long, without any emotion compelling me to hold onto it?" My own puzzlement about that was the dawning of the realization that the thought was not coming from me; it was coming from The Universe. Oh, and I love Eckhart Tolle. (Just wanted to say that.) 😊

EXCELLENT!!!! The Truth!!!! Very very very helpfull. I also find that if I sit with anxiety and otehr uncomfortbale feelings, I can transform them in a dramtic moment, or maybe they trasnform me!?!!! ANd then there is sense of freedom and growth on the other side. Intense pain and then its over, just a very short time and then a sense of growth and freedom and on to th e next challenge, road bloc, difficult feelings, etc. I actually try to cultivate these difficult feelings now so I can directly engage them with my awareness. THis must be exactly what the Buddha did when he sat so long, even going into painfull feelings of his previoous lives!!!!!! This has really inspired me to face my anxiety!!! Its been there so long. About time I really faced and addressed it and I am defintiely ready even though I feel fearfull as well. My kingdon for the dissolution of all these thoughts and feelings!!!! Smile!!!

[@zentv-relaxingmusicsleepmu7296]

I learn so much from every single video of Eckhart's that I watch.

[@rumigirl]

"I don't mind feeling anxious." I sort of get what he means... This is a little different, but I learned something similar with loneliness a while back. I used to feel lonely, and I would immediately get upset. The two feelings (the upset and the loneliness) were so close to simultaneous that I thought it was all one big feeling: Loneliness. I finally realized that I felt so upset about being lonely because there was shame attached to feeling lonely. Feeling lonely meant I was alone; and the reason for being alone had to be that I was a horrible person who nobody wanted, and I felt ashamed of that -- of everyone "seeing" how worthless I was. When I finally saw the shame, I thought something like, Well, that's ridiculous, because I am human, and humans sometimes feel lonely. And I had slowly become more aware that being alone was a choice I'd been making all along; it wasn't being done to me. So why was I ashamed? So I gave up the shame. (It was the thought ABOUT the feeling that hurt; not the feeling itself.) And ever since, loneliness has not been a problem. I feel it and acknowledge it when it comes, but there is soooo much less pain with it now. I think in Conversations with God, Walsch and God are talking about something similar, and God says something like, "You can have less suffering with your suffering; you can have less pain with your pain." I think that, at least with loneliness, I now know what that means. The full transmutation thing hasn't happened, but I have a sense of what that could be like now.

[@sandragilfillan]

Thank you! I think that's really helpful.

[@Chloe__________xx]

I get what you mean, loneliness can be reframed as having freedom just like anxiety feels the same physically to excitement, so if you’re anxious about something you can reframe it and say no I’m actually excited about xyz :)

I'm 60 now but I went through so much anxiety, depression and PTSD in my younger years. I was bullied in school mercilessly. My family was always fighting. My mother was a leader in the Charismatic Renewal and an extreme narcissist. My father was bi-polar and always yelling. My sisters would backstab me in a heartbeat. My 1st husband was an alcoholic and beat me. My 2nd wasn't much better. I lost my homes repeatedly because I couldn't hold a job. I've move 59 times in my life. Not exaggerating at all! Some of it was my parents moving us around. I ended up a crack addict in Vancouver. Despite all this I was seeking and awake. As a teenager I was trying to get my family into counseling but of course they never wanted to. My now was almost always threatening and I was aware but knew nothing of what Eckhart teaches. In early 2004 I saw Eckhart's video with the guy on the park bench. I had sat on that very bench many times. Xmas eve 2004 was the last time I smoked crack and I decided to leave everyone behind to get clean. I actually hated being high. So I sold everything I had and got on a Greyhound bus in March of 05 and moved to Calgary by myself. I've been clean since but the road to enlightenment was brutal. I've been alone since 06. I've done so much work on myself my Doctor actually called me a miracle. I've learned to stay present for most of the time. I don't allow the made up anxiety in at all BUT when I actually feel threatened by something very real especially the roof over my head which just happened 06/02/23 I lapse into deep sobbing almost constant crying. I was blaming myself for not doing it right until I saw this. Everything did work out great BUT I live in Alberta and my roof was dependent upon the UCP getting in. I had very little control over the situation. If the NDP had won my landlord would have raised my rent by $200.00 and there was only 1 listing in the paper for a place that was even more expensive. There was no where to go. As it turned out my rent is only going up $25.00 and that's only because I'm such a good tenant. I am extremely grateful but how does one stay calm in the face of something like that?! Now I'm crying again. Things will calm down shortly. I'm pretty good at returning to calmness but it's very fresh. It's only a couple days after this happened. The world is in such insane turmoil and I can't just ignore it. I do what I can to help on a very small level and I can't not watch what is going on politically. I have to keep vigilant. Its my way of feeling safe. ❤I'm thankful for my strength, the ability to see truth in myself and the world around me, my ability to stay present most of the time and that I get to be in my home another year which will make 7. A record for me. I'm hoping someday to live in true peace where no one will ever be able to scare the shit out of me again. Thank you Eckhart for making it all possible. Here we are almost 20 years later and you're still helping me. ❤❤❤
