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.

The best way to heal trauma in my experience is to be completely 100% present in the discomfort, and the feelings that arise in the moment. Be the awareness of the feelings that arise, rather than unconsciously attaching to them as "who we are". It's all just patterns conditioning that is playing out and is something that needs to be "completed" by shining the light of awareness on it. It is not always easy but when you fully accept the feeling is there, it then eventually goes away. Thanks as always Eckhart for the impact you're having on the planet right now. Much Love. 🙏

[@schargiel7033]

Your comment gave me the energy to do it. I cried and felt a really strong pain in my heart. But not only emotional but also physical. Does someone know how to reduce the physical pain, because it really feels like the heart is braking into pieces.

[@regulardude7961]

@@schargiel7033 I cannot tell you how to reduce the pain immediately, but I can help you solve the issue so the pain is released from your body to diminish over time. Tell yourself this when you feel the pain and believe it (because it's true) : "I can handle this."

[@schargiel7033]

@@regulardude7961 That's what I made. But in that moment I really thought that if the pain would be bigger my hard could be hurt physically. It was only for a short moment. It was not scary because I could control it very good. But I thought if I go there next time, I would be happy to have something in my hands to handle that pain. I think when a muscles relaxes after a long time of contraction, some flexibility is lost. Today I have the feeling that a lot of energy came out of the pain body because I can feel some pain in some other parts of my body. Mainly the skin of my bones. But I know that's short term. Thanks.

[@anajadwa6875]

I watched this video sometime ago and thought I had understood it. I've been working on my trauma in multiple ways and though I'm getting better and better theres times when the fear or hurt and sadness just comes up again. I got so discouraged I cried in sheer helplessness and despair thinking this will never end, I'll never get better. Then a little later the feelings of fear and sadness came up again but I was aware "There it is again" and I literally just watched it, acknowledged, allowed but did not become identified eg I felt so sad and scared but I just registered it and kept doing what I was doing and just noticed everytime a wave of it hit me but I realized it's not me, I dont feel like that it's just something inside me, how I felt before and its stuck inside me and keeps coming up ( and usually I would become it, terrified or sad, or angry). Today it came up repeatedly and I was aware, felt it observed it and eventually it subsided. I find that when you identify with it, give it what it wants it goes away but that's not good because its fed and it will never end. Anyway now i have understood what he means in this video since having experienced this and yes this is the only effective way to deal with trauma. Edit: Not an easy way but with awareness and practice I guess you finally get there.

Pain comes in waves. Look at the pain, respect the pain, accept the pain and then transcendance of pain, with a willingness to give it over to the universe and an open heart of self-love and nurture can take place. Gratitude, hope and your imagination; this is the innocence in you that can be rekindled whenever you call upon it. A combination of journaling, energy work with emotional and energetic release, verbal declarations with spirit, meditation and walking in nature, affirmations and engaging in the creative arts has helped me. Rise from the ashes of tragedy, reborn.

[@ellennabuurs33]

Like his words. " The pain is there and you are in the space around it. " In my sessions with clients I sometimes use a meditation of "the safe". A way to distance yourself from old pain. Recently I did this meditation with a couple who have spent their lives (60 to 70 years) fighting against their terrible childhood traumas. By now daily putting their bad experiences in their imaginary safe, (where only they can access) the worst nightmares and flashbacks disappeared. As a result, they no longer identify with their old pain. Beautiful how he explains this!

Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.

Thank you🙏🏼 I've learned about trauma and trauma informed dharma only last year. I've been living in Buddhist communities, studying and doing retreats for years. I thought I was doing well until circumstances changed and I opened myself to an intimate relationship that I tried to avoid before. Oh dear... Suddenly all the teachings I learned were forgotten and there was only pain. After months of anxiety and agony I finally gave up and looked for help. I ended up with a fantastic psychotherapist and the EMDR sessions helped me so much - it's been quite a miraculous journey from them on... Also I did a course on trauma informed dharma which was mind blowing😅 Really fantastic stuff! Ever heard of spiritual bypassing? Well... I certainly have ☺️ May all the healed from trauma 🙏🏼❤️

[@margathea7072]

thank you can explain trauma informed dharma a little please ?

[@GildaLee27]

Spiritual bypassing? Please say more.

[@RaiseTheWorldProjectNow]

@@GildaLee27 Spiritual bypassing is a "tendency to use spiritual ideas and practices to sidestep or avoid facing unresolved emotional issues, psychological wounds, and unfinished developmental tasks" There are many ways of spiritual bypassing. It's fascinating. I personally used the idea of cherishing others to not look deeper. It looks like a virtuous activity to care about others but my underlying motivation was to avoid facing unconscious pain from my childhood (unprocessed trauma). And I wanted to become a Buddhist nun for a long time. No one ordained me though and only later I realised that the teachers knew that my motivation was not pure. I thought it was but actually I tried to avoid intimate relationships etc... Another example is being easy going to avoid conflict. We all love easy going people. But what is their motivation? SB is nothing bad. We all do it to some degree I'm sure, but if we really want to heal we have to dig deeper. It's painful but the result so worth it 🙏🏼❤️

[@RaiseTheWorldProjectNow]

@@margathea7072 I can certainly try ☺️ Dr Miles Neal is a Buddhist Psychotherapist & teacher. He called one of his Modules 'Trauma informed Dharma'. From my own experience I know that trauma is not a subject much discussed within spiritual communities. There is very little knowledge about what it means and how to integrate it. I only learned about the Buddha's teachings but they alone (although beautiful & deep) did not help me to deal with the energy of emotions that were lurking deep in my body and mind depending on the circumstances. To some extent knowledge helps but when one is flooded with anxiety then no knowledge helps. Trauma is stuck in the body and we have to acknowledge that and work with that. Anyways, Miles and others teach Dharma (here Buddhist teachings) combined with psychotherapy. Buddhist teachings through a lense of trauma. Or something like that. Hope that makes sense☺️

Wow. He has sooo much insight into this subject. I think that when anyone complains or cries out or is hurting that that is a big deal and should be met with the most compassion I can muster. This is because sometimes people have been through so much and they may just need to complain about something menial because really they can not explain the deep pain in their life that they may be experiencing if they are only an acquaintance. So I listen and I am sensitive to all others. I love this talk. I need to hit the repeat. I fully agree with it. I am excited to navigate trauma better; my own and perhaps be used as a tool to help heal others trauma, those who are open to it. It's so exciting that we can heal together, if we are willing to.

It took me over 25 years to clear out the trauma. I spent 20 years in therapy. Spaciousness is not going to just appear by osmosis. You're going to have to face what you don't want to face in order to release it. It has to be felt and faced and released. That's been my experience. I'm not accumulating other new trauma because o don't put myself in those situations. I've had to learn how to take care of myself, how to love myself and how to release all that pain.

There is a part of you that is already healed, that has never been anything but whole and perfect. Pain and trauma happens to the body and mind but not to the awareness that is truly YOU.

We mistakenly identify with events that happen inside that space . But we ARE the space which holds all things .

It needs a great amount of presence for feeling the pain-body in its entire insanity. There are many repressed feelings we also carry in our bodies. We need to heighten the presence so as not be endlessly caught in the grip of old patterns, ancient schemes. It is not easy; from my experience it is an everyday training of the presence muscle. Patience is a virtue to enhance little by little. It is an ongoing process😊 I often get caught in the threads of my own pain-body. In the middle of its manifestations or at the end of them, I somehow remember the teaching of Eckhart. Thank you!

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

Your posts are so timely for me. Thank you Eckhart. Your always on topic for me.

Eckhart Tolle, please help people with PTSD or CPTSD by recommending The Body Keeps the Score. Psychology does have a place in healing.

Beautiful Thank you very much Brilliant explanation Very worthy to practice Very good

[@michellespear6661]

This is very timely. I'm processing some pain that my mother unearthed yesterday. I was until then unaware that I had been resisting that pain for decades. So today, I'm experiencing waves of pain and crying. But I'm just allowing that pain to be what it is and acknowledging its origins. Not attaching any judgements to it or wishing for justice or any external acknowledgment of wrongdoing, but just allowing it to flow through me. I'm watching the thinker and doing my best to feel the fact that I'm the watcher, not the thinker.

[@objectsinlookingglass7898]

I know what you mean by dispersed trauma. There were certainly events as well. I used to live in every time period but the present. Now I live in the present and I am FOREVER filled with gratitude for the pain that caused my conciousness. I wouldn't trade anything for this ability to see clearly. I always thought I was incredibly unlucky, turns out the opposite was true. My mom is deep in egoic narcissistic patterns so we only see each other once a month. I'm so proud of my dad. He has even started watching and loving an Eckhart vid I sent him. He's not the most tech savvy so I was SO pleasantly surprised. I love all of you and wish you presence and I feel all of your conciousness all the time and it fills me with joy.

Tough question and answer. The explicitness is so good here. This is going to help a lot of people with their trauma. Love u!

Such a wonderful Being you are,E.T! ❤❤❤

[@pattybeck5101]

Such a compassionate man….his initial response to her question brought tears .

[@laatmaarzien927]

to anybody suffering from trauma I suggest Somatic experience therapy. This is a therapy by Peter Levine who is specialised in trauma threatment.

[@DeannaAKADeanna]

This was good to find. My trauma is like Eckhart's in that it was concentrated throughout my childhood (with some sifting in until our parents had passed and I could go no contact with a sibling with NPD). Learning to spend most of my time in the present has been priceless.

[@rainncorbin8291]

Same here. I was married to one as well. I'm not identified with that pain. I don't care to keep recreating it.

[@DeannaAKADeanna]

@@rainncorbin8291 It feels good to be out from under those kinds of energy & thought processes!

I find the following to be so true, in the past and then present I suffered with many things and people yet wished I could keep them and that they were good for me or that would work out only if I did my best and made enough effort. Today I see it was never meant to be and I'm better off without them. "People retrospectively become thankful for their suffering" - Eckhart Tolle

[@agatevictoria6432]

I Read A New Earth many many years ago and it completely opened my eyes and holistically changed my life direction. Thank you!!

[@truthala]

Excellent...... Everyone acts according to their consciousness..... Learning to be with whatever feelings are moving through us, whatever sensations are moving through us, whenever thoughts are moving through us, without resistance, simply allowing ourselves to experience whatever is moving through us

[@divyayadav6019]

you are a beautiful soul Ekhart, God Bless you always
