I agree with you 1000%

Hi Lisa. Very nice words. I had social anxiety issues in my 20's. When I'd leave the situations I'd feel better. Eventually kept exposing myself and got over it. Now in 40's, whether from habitual stress from a struggling business or another reason, I started having anxiety attacks last October. The physical anxiety attacks kind of diminished and for many months I'm having the toughest time with generalized anxiety all the time. It has put me in this weird state of being sensitized to everything. I feel nervous all the time, but it does get worse when having to do social things. I literally have this phobia I'm going crazy, into a state of mild psychosis, even possibly developing schizophrenia. Repeated dictors have squashed this and said its GAD. So if I had to pinpoint, I do have issues as Tolle first implies as to scary thoughts and this fear I have some scarier mental illness. But I also feel fear come out of nowhere. So I guess thats pain body. I've read power of now and been trying to accept everything, to flow through and let things pass. But I constantly feel this sensitized state I feel like I'm on a bad high from drugs but not taking anything. I've tried mindfulness meditation, when I sit with my thoughts I grow more nervous and worry more about mental illness. I don't understand how to accept this, when I constantly feel on edge and nervous. I don't understand how to step out when it's from moment I wake up to almost bed time. I'm still functioning, running a business with employees, marriage, 2 boys, their sports (I help coach), but everything is a struggle..i just want to find peace :(

320hp look into toxicity. Josh Macin’s story. There’s more to it than just your mind.

@@320hp Keep in mind that acceptance doesn't mean you "like" what's happening. You start by becoming aware and accepting that this is what is happening now even though it may not happen forever. It just means you call it out as soon as you notice it and stay with what you're noticing rather than spinning the narrative "I'm going crazy." So the next time you start feeling or worrying that you are going crazy, you say to yourself.... "Here I go again. I'm worrying about going crazy when in reality I'm just a victim of this habitual thinking." It's unlikely I'm going crazy. I'm just caught in this bad habit. It will probably happen again later, but I will remind myself that I am not crazy. So every time that thought comes up you stay present with whatever you're thinking and repeat that reassurance again. The reality is you are not crazy. You are just worried you are. You are just caught in looping thoughts that grip you. Trust me! I know how you feel. I used to worry that I would never stop worrying and end up sick or crazy. Worrying that you are going crazy is a common habit of people with anxiety. I couldn't stop the thoughts either. But I would keep reminding myself that the worries never last and it's the FEELINGS that come after the initial thought are more troublesome than the actual thought itself. How you feel, feeds on more bad thoughts and you are caught in a cycle. The key is stopping the cycle as soon as you notice it by calling it out. It's what you do immediately after you have that recurring thought. Once you get good at catching the initial thought and stopping the looping thought (I'm going crazy), your mind will learn that it can't grip you anymore and you will ignore it and move on. It takes time! Trust me. You can overcome this.

Thank you

Thanks! I needed to read this!! 🙏

Thankyou.

This book helped me look at my own issues with more perspective and objectivity. I agree with the author and how there are a lot of self-help books that just tell that “you that you can do it” or “appreciate what you have” so on and so forth. Anyone could write those kinds of books that look all nice and pretty without anything that actually GIVES. But this book actually teaches you step by step what you need to do, especially how to relax your nerves and anxiety levels which was CRUCIAL for me. This is a must-read.

I like that image and outlook. 🌸💙

I think it was not even to learn but just to dance in the rain and rest in the sun, but the situation of Earth during these times made it such that we have to relearn to be ourselves now...which is also ok because our soul might have wanted to experience this process.

So true! I need to remember that thank you!

I read that in a half Roche joke book years ago, very good and true

Very true. I also love watching GRIT&INTEGRITY KZfaq channel. It's creative and super inspiring

I do the same

Same!!

Anxiety worriers plz search for ' wonderbro ' on KZfaq. He really helped me .plzz go and watch him ,u will never regret.. much love

Beats meditating!

Yes I agree

Amen.

Life saving

Im with you in this , it is very profound the perception change that has taken place in me.

I felt like this a couple years ago. I felt blessed and feeling a deep peace. The life was going and my pain body drained me again. Hope have a peaceful mind again... It hurts a lot

Some Buddhist monks have said depression is a state of mental exhaustion, and only by letting the mind relax by doing nothing, or somehow relaxing the mind, can the energy build up again. 'As long as you deliberately try to stop your thoughts, the thought of trying to stop them wars against the continually arising thoughts themselves, and there's never an end to it. Just don't bother with them, and then there's nothing else they can do but stop. When there's no one there to fight with, things can't help but simply come to an end of themselves.' Bankei

Im happy that you are out of it

Shanel Luna, God helps those who help themselves. Meditation is the permanent way to a relaxed and stress free life because it reprogrames the mind. Enter "Alternate nostril breathing meditation videos" on Google search and do the simple meditation for 10 -15 minutes if possible twice a day. Also read the benefits of alternate nostril breathing meditation.Try not moving too much when doing this meditation. It can also be done sitting on a chair. Best wishes. Do meditation daily to enjoy a relaxed life. Anyway you will loose nothing but gain a lot. . Best wishes--Shyaaam sir --Life Coach.

it's true! just listening to him - even if I don't understand what he's saying...it's calming

Agreed...he's so present and calm.

He is incredible espontaneous

Is the frequency !

Listening to him is like meditation

No doubt! His teachings have opened my eyes.

Hi Hunt. I've had many struggles on and off with anxiety. Unfortunately it's been back about a year now, however unlike when I was around 23-25 (I'm 41 now) when it was social situations, public ie: lines in big stores, church, waiting rooms ie: anywhere feeling trapped), I now feel a constant nervousness all the time and in the background (pain body?). I've read Power of Now and I feel I've relentlessly tried acceptance. Tolle talks about when you literally have had enough suffering, well I feel I'm way past that point.... I've literally broke down many times crying saying I surrender, waving the mental white flag. Yet, no matter what I feel this constant fear, on edge, nervousness from the moment I wake up. Literally I wake up, and stomach starts turning (butterflies, diaharea), and I'm then anxious and on high alert rest of day. I'm keyed up, yet feel tired. I feel strangely extra sensitive to anything and everything. Little to zero tolerance for stressful things, and even things that are normal. Just sending an email, going to the bathroom, eating with family or friends - I feel nervous all the time. Despite all of this, I'm trying to just accept it, to float through the feelings, to allow them to pass. I continue to go to stores, restaurants, my kid's sports events, anything that's normal, and unlike when the issues got better in my 20's with these times, I come out of these things now feeling more nervous, more drained. I do believe Tolle is on to something, but I've been trying acceptance for months and I don't feel any improvement. My mind races constantly, can barely meditate without feeling I' going crazy. Last thing I want to point out, I had a bad trip on weed once when I was maybe 23 or 24. Smoke weed maybe 3 to 4 times ever and this was only time this happened. Horrifying experience, basically became paranoid and freaked out, full blown panic, brain felt like it was melting, literally frying. I couldn't escape it (was in apartment and had to leave my party guests in other room). Lasted an hour, was longest and scariest moment of my life (and I've been through a lot including heart procedure). Anyways, lately my head starts to feel so scared and weird, and because this is much worse then the anxiety I had 15 years ago I now have this fear it's something worse. I literally have fear I'm going to go into state of psychosis, possibly develop schizophrenia. I know this is all probably hard for people to read but everyday these thoughts cross my mind. Keep in my I have an older brother (49) who around 20 was diagnosed with schizophrenia. No matter how many doctors tell me I'm well past the point, and even having a brother, I don't have it and not going into psychosis. But my monkey mind, because I feel so scared and having the brother I think the worst. Sorry this is such a long message but these specific things are consuming me. I wish I could find somebody else on this earth who a) has anxiety disorder b) has an older sibling with major mental illness such as schizophrenia and c) perhaps had a bad trip on drugs once so he knows how scary it feels console me and tell me they got over all this. Acceptance can work for this?? Love from Canada - Mike.

@@robhoffmann3434 mike, i want you to Know, that You're not alone. Dont believe your thougths. Im in the exact situation as you, Tho i might be the 20 y/o you. I believe u can get peace with your mind, and i hope you eventually Will. Stay strong lad. Seek the right Help, talk with your closest friends/family, find the place the gives your head peace. Just promise me you dont believe this is Going to eat u Alive. It feeds the anxiety. I send you the best of my thoughts to you. Stay strong.

Mike Corazza Hi Mike, I feel something like you! On the past Ive had many experiencies with psychedelic drugs (good and bad) and actually I smoke cannabis every day. I feel exactly the same you when awakening in the morning. I dont know why but I feel a lot of fear out of control: it causes me diaharea and panic. It is a nightmare waking up in the morning. After a feel hours I feel better, not in panic anymore. In public situations I feel very confused. Like Ive esquizophrenia, I feel very unconfortable to look into others eyes and the people realize it. Most of people think I have mental issues or think Im “crazy”. I became like this after using psychedelic drugs. The drugs made me awake spiritually but besides that it got me crazy. I cant handle public situations with a lot of people anymore and Im very sad about it. You are not alone, Mike! Sorry for my English. Peace from Brazil

@@Nick199607 Hi Nick. Thanks so much for taking time to reply. I am trying to do all the things you said and will continue to do so. There are many days I feel hopeless, feel it's impossible to get better which puts me in deeper fear and depression. However I will continue to stay strong. Question: are you practicing living in the now? Is it working for you? I feel so weird and uncomfortable at times that even stopping to meditate, focus on my breath etc make me feel even worse. My mind races, worries, ruminates on past events, worry about future events. Every moment it happens I refocus my attention on breath, feeling the sensations in body etc. But regardless, it doesn't seem to be taking the edge off. I almost feel high and it's scary :(

Just wanted to say Love the name haha clever

Thank you. Hope all is well with you too! ❤

Thank you

@@geraltvonriva9873 Clearly you have a fixation on money and are projecting it on to him. Envy and resentment , I suspect, are behind it. Try some self reflection.

Eckhart Tolle has inspired me to begin reaching out to the public. I read The Power of Now at a pivotal moment in my life and it completely shifted my perspective in ways I cannot even describe in words. Thank you!

All these poor folks be hatin. Don’t hate - participate. Instead of whining about others having money, start creating value - and money will come.

@@geraltvonriva9873 Benjamin, you may try to learn how to love yourself. It seems like you have the will to change since you're here and watch Eckhart's videos. This takes time and practice. It's like you've never run in your life but want to run a marathon. First it'll seem absolutely impossible. As you learn about the preparation required to run a marathon, you still probably won't trust you can do it, but you'll rely on these sources and start practicing. This might be painful. You may stumble and have to come back on your feet. But as you continue, hope will start arising. Months will pass, and then you'll develop confidence you can do it. It doesn't really matter if at the end you will or will not run a marathon. What matters is the path that will get you there. It's the same here for you. You probably feel lost and that's ok. You are a human being and as such, you are perfect. Everything you are experiencing is perfectly normal. You are human. If i take what you say here, it's a mix of facts and thoughts. You have no money may be a fact or a thought. It's all relative depending on what your reference is. But let's assume it's a fact. If you never had any girlfriend, that's a fact. No job, no friend, no social contact, these can be facts, although I'd argue you are here on KZfaq interacting with people. This is a social contact, even if I'm assuming you'd rather have actual ones instead of virtual. Now, saying you are an introvert, not good looking and that it's not very easy on this world for you at the moment are all thoughts. This is where you can start acting, with a lot of benevolence. Again, it's ok and human to have these thoughts, but I'm just saying these are not facts in the sense that you may consider them as facts, but an external observer may not agree with you, as I am for instance. Make space for these thoughts. Don't necessarily fight them. Try to identify where these thoughts are coming from, what generate them, what forms/sensations they take when you experience them. Meditation could potentially be a great exercise to help with this. The idea here is to become an observer of your thoughts, not an actor. Again, that may take time, so I would recommend to focus on being benevolent with yourself. You are not your thoughts. Believe in yourself. You can do it. You have the resources for. You just need to unlock them.

This was a wonderful talk. I look forward to reading Mr. Tolle's books. Check out Dr. Claire Weekes, too. For me, she feels like a literal Godsend. Though long gone, she was a pioneer in "nervous illness". If you've not heard of her, please check out her recordings and books. This one helped me enormously. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g66iZ8Rolr6renk.html

Hi! Hope you are doing good. How is it working for you?

Good luck mate, hope it's helped.

I am rooting for you!

Hello 👋 Annie . I'm having social anxiety ,not able to do even simple things also.I don't know why . I don't know what to do.

💯

@Ann That's your opinion. I'm entitled to my own.

@Ann people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks, sounds like quantum physics is awakened you should join him/her.

People like Eckhart wouldn't run for office because they don't seek power.

@@madeleinestar-child92 which is why the cycle continous.

He would never be part of it, but I understand what you mean. If his teachings could reach individuals in politics, slowly everything would change. They’ll have to be ready for it. Hopefully soon. ♥️

Exactly!

Amen

Totally true! The present is the only moment we can find true peace 🙏🏻

@@Lindsweightloss yet in trying this the whole time it can be seen this underlying subtle stress

@@joemctaggart3920 focusing on the present is definitely not easy, especially when the mind is constantly trying to find ways to stress us out.

@@Lindsweightloss sit quietly notice the flow of mind notice thoughts lead from one to another in a constant flow and cant be stopped then take deep breath or 2 notice then the thoughts gone but soon return they are automatic yes they are stress the whole chemistry of the body is fear and stress stop a moment observe thought itself see how its a tightening sensation inside the brain itself relax that sensation by breathing and simple noticing in time thinking will relax and be controllable by breathing but as for fear itself thats what the entire worlds religious history is about take care

This is so very true but therein lies the struggle...

I completely agree...I think if I ever met him I would just burst into tears..such a lovely gentle person xx

Much blessings to you as well.

Yes his frequency statements are very insightful.! That can be a whole area of studies unto itself. Peace2u.!

Best wishes to you! I hope you are doing well.

It sounds like something is hidden and wants to tell you something. I would suggest you try body (psycho) therapie and/ or trauma therapie methods (not the hard one like EMDR), because they work a lot with the body. This helped me so much after 20 years of just normal therapie. Good luck.

I'm happy for you! Continued Peace of mind to you!

May I add, the key isn't to "tackle" the thinking and worrying. It's not modified thinking that brings freedom, its the rising above, the transcending of it, that brings the peace. thoughts happen. That's a fact. Just see them as passing phenomenon in your awareness. Don't try. Allow the thoughts to come and go, you be that which knows the thoughts and worries are happening. Much peace to you.

Paul G. Thanks for that! Much peace to you and your family too.

Same happens with me… identifying with fear and fearful thoughts-----

Great point

How do you accept anxiety? It's so very uncomfortable and alarming to me I find it a struggle to accept it. What is anxiety? Please let me know I need help.

Lee Davis Me too Lee. Bless you.

Definitely grateful to have found him and his teachings.

This will turn around, you are life itself, not merely a "poor little person" like we all think ourselves to be. You got this

WHY IS MANKIND, you and me as we are? Without covering it up with all kinds of lies and excuses which do not satisfy the soul, that by the touch and grace of our Maker seek's light in the darkness. please take one hour of your precious time for the straight up Truth that will bring Light in the darkness I know this from my own experience check out (What happened with us) on my channel.

YogiJer's Sangha “who truly knew”... knew what?

Marijane I’m a far cry from Eckart, Marijane, but I want you to know that I read your comment. We are in collective empathy and love for you. You are going through such a difficult time, and the burden of life is heavy. I can’t imagine how it would feel to lose your partner to Alzheimer’s. You have not lost your way. Eckhart’s teachings are part of your spiritual dna now, and you are tapping into unreal power. I’ll join with you the best I can to keep pinching myself and “waking up” out of the dream state. I’m taking a deep breath right now, gazing around the room, and feeling the presence of my body. Hang in there sister! We love you! =)

Thank you for writing all this. It was very helpful.❤

I think it just goes to show how we can think ourselves into a panic attack and think ourselves out!

@@joesmith9472 no, It's the opposite: if you don't get your thinking mind in control by these methods, it will control you

Same here :))

Anna Bogma hey Anna, same feeling here. Tolle taught me a lot of things about presence and being mindful of y thoughts! Wish you all the best ❤️

@@Lindsweightloss thanks)) wishing you the same :)

Yes our bodies are, the soul is not

Sleep Timing, Inactivity and vitamins minerals are other factors too

@@nw3877 for sure. I heard a quote recently: "Consciousness is a status report" An unpleasant conscious state (anxiety/depression) is an indicator that something is wrong with our physical status.

I’m struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety over my now 9 months old baby’s health and future. Hope we find peace someday

@@k8niedzialek our children are the only humans we love unconditionally in this entire world! Just the thought of anything happening to them is debilitating! My daughter has a huge swollen lymph node on her neck! Having a biopsy this month! That’s what’s triggered my anxiety! Although her bloods all came back normal, her scans and xrays all ok! It’s still the ‘ what if’ in the back of my mind! It’s been there 3 months now so a bit of a worry. This has probably triggered your anxiety 🤦🏽‍♀️ but we have to think, we made it to adulthood, along with many others! Keep listening to his teachings, they help 💓

Love this. So liberating

I think I am going to try no thinking so much. I live in anxiety, fear and depression then i drink to relieve it. I think i just quit thinking. Just go to work and save money, then get out of my head. I try to hard

Hope your doing better :)

@@garylennon5115 Thank you so much! Yes I am!

Our mind is designed to constantly make up stories about the world and ourselves. You just have too Much imagination. Keep remembering that.

Me too

You are very wise. Yes, we would have to be unconscious to be completely free of anxiety or fear. Like a dieter must learn to eat the right amount of food, folks with anxiety need to be shown that it's OK to feel it in normal amounts. It is the very fear of those thoughts and feelings that leads to severe and sometimes crippling anxiety in most people.

Practice, practice, practice. We unconsciously trained mind with fears we can consciously train it to the positive path of wisdom and faith in Goodness.Everything will be alright........ In Reality 💝😊
