Tip - don't pay the mind any mind...ignore any thoughts of past, future, or imagination/daydreaming. Instead, stay with the feeling/experiencing of the moment. Tactilely. Be 100% devoted to the moment...what is felt, seen, heard, smelt, and tasted. Just like how someone can be so in their head and in thought that they can bump into a lamp pole because they simply were not aware and did not see it...go to the other side of the spectrum. So with the here and now that there is no room for thought. In the absence of thought, there is only the present.

As an amateur carpenter, I’ve realized it is very, very important to stay in the present to avoid horrible or even merely measurable mistakes. Focus on the moment and the actions you are engaged in. Keep all your fingers.

I have been advancing on my journey and have made significant progress this summer. I have reached a state of deep inner peace and surrender. Yesterday I was at work and my mom called me to tell me my bathroom flooded and that my room was flooding too. I didn’t get mad, annoyed, sad, anything. I know this non-reaction was confirmation that I have grown.

[@faresar]

And did you solve the problem later on?

[@Idontgothatway]

@@faresar yes we fixed it

[@gunnikr]

What did you do to get there? Lots of meditation?

[@Idontgothatway]

@@gunnikr I just surrendered . It sounds simple but it really is. Took my years to finally get it though. You just have to live. Focus on what you’re doing in the moment and let go of everything else. “Let go and let God” approach.

[@jaysco2293]

@@gunnikrimply living in the moment and removing a reaction from yourself just like Ekhart says remove the mind and just simply be, not doing something just being in the present look around you what is the room like that you are in or the space is it chaotic or is it you that makes it seem chaotic? Remove judgments and just let the current present be just that

[@SirFency]

"Rise above thinking" This statement fixed my way of thinking about reaching the awareness. I was always looking to avoid thinking by sinking below it. As soon as he said that I immediately understood something. I probably don't make any sense and I cannot explain it but I found understanding in those words. Thank you for that.

[@angelina-xe3vz]

As someone who has developed really low self-esteem, Eckhart's teachings are the only thing that have been able to help me escape my mind and become grounded in the present. It's like your senses become heightened as you release all thoughts and negative projections from the outside world and focus on the awareness within. You experience the sounds, tastes, smells, and the richness of life and the magnificence of existence. To exist and not feel as though you have to be or achieve anything is truly a gift. You are already good enough without having to be good enough to the outside world. To be of the world but not in it to me is to take life for what it is and have gratitude for what you do have and to accept that which you do not have. Then you can find peace in the present, otherwise there will always be something to chase. It's like being a child again when you are off in your own world and you don't know loneliness because you don't know there are other children besides you and you are content and happy and no one has put the pressure of being anything on you yet. That you are good enough as you are just by breathing.

What works for me is I find an anchor point to the present moment. For example today it's the touch of my back against the chair. The feeling of touch. I mean you're sitting in the chair and the chair is in the present moment right? Find your anchor points to the present moment and keep on coming back to them when you find your mind is drifting to the past or the future.

I can remember learning how to meditate as a teen and being frustrated with noises that interrupted my meditation; staring at a candle or saying a mantra. Now, noises are actually welcome and represent the present and reality and they keep me present along with sensing my body. It's so much easier to achieve getting out of your head; slowing down your mind.

[@Initwithlove]

Awesome ❤🎉

[@TheMediumChannel]

For me doing presence meditation first thing in the morning get's me in the state for the whole day. Yes..yes, thank you for your humor Eckhart and I start the day with no devices, just me and God and I get so present as to lose my earthly form so to speak....I'm not a name, job or body, I'm energy, I'm Spirit and if I can capture that sweet spot of the present moment (as Joe Dispenza says) then I go into the quantum field and begin to consciously understand and create my life as a Spirit having a human experience.

@@labab1048 The only thing I do directly from Joe is supernatural breathing upon rising then simple presence meditation and i use a lot of my own processes and techniques..but I love Dr. JDs teaching and for me he explains this stuff better than anybody.

This is not about universe returning desires. Ugh. Just please listen instead of preaching. People keep putting senseless words into this trying to make it sound flowery.

[@myrealnameisawareness]

This is not about law of attraction.

[@myrealnameisawareness]

These videos are supposed to help you get out of mind and thought identification. You might be a master manifester and everything but if you don’t truly know what awakening is or how extremely life changing it is, why would you keep pushing things you know about into this space? It takes effort to get out of this thought identifying addiction. This is what awakening is. The whole world going on indulging in the addiction and helping each other. For once people are able to guide some. Ekhart tolle being one of them. People who scroll through these comments will see you comment and maybe they were going to be affected positively by the video but you started talking about manifesting your desires. And they went right back into the matrix. It is not so mind based. Nothing you think brings you here. I am sorry i ranted but i just cant with people. They dont want to accept that they are totally lost and then misguide other people who are honest enough and courageous enough to go through this process by accepting that they are lost. You clearly cant do that.

Understanding the simplicity of this is life changing. I'm currently experiencing extremely challenging times. I feel it as it's what's happening now but I also let it go when the feelings ease. At points I'm totally present and there is no anxiety and at the times when it's overwhelming I remind myself that I'm trying to not think of the future or the past only what I'm doing now however hard now can be, im challenging myself to think differently and to accept what's happening however painful. When it doesn't feel simple I remind myself that im enough and I have it in me to just be with what is. Thank you for this video it's definitely something I come back to when I feel overwhelmed again.
