Can we take a moment to recognize this mom? Here is an apparently single mom of three who is aware enough of how important her own inner work is that she found a way to attend this conference. Kudos to you sister, for your heart, for your desire to grow, and for your recognition that being a good mom to your boys means being a "whole person" yourself. I'd hazard to intuit that you're a really good mom and your boys are blessed to have you.

Tolle is the real deal: humble, patient, wise, and good humored. We are very lucky to him as a teacher in these crazy times

Create a World Within You where nothing offends you, and there are no enemies just different levels of consciousness.

“I lost it but I know I lost it, that's fine. ” This is so encouraging.

Other teachers or psychs would probably say: Go attend a 6-month Anger Management workshop. Instead Eckhart nailed it in 16 minutes and 16 seconds. 👋 You're the best Eckhart! ♥️

As many times as I have watched Eckhart, I always am learning and feeling refreshed.His whole demeanor and way of speaking puts me at ease. He is a meditation.

Controlling your anger can be difficult in some situations but I find that giving myself a moment of spaciousness before responding to stimulus is always a good way to make it beyond the anger.

„Ask yourself: Am I able to use this situation as part of my spiritual practice because that’s how you awaken.“ I love that ❤️

What just struck me is that if anyone has issues of reactivity, to sit and write down a list of triggers or situations that you know for sure. When you write them down, you tend to remember them easier. Then when you become aware of those but still react, you can then apologize for it (if needed, to yourself and to others). After that, over time you will find yourself being more responsible for yourself in that way. I am so happy to be in this process, as i have been extremely reactive my entire life (i'm 50 in january).

Learning how to know you’re unconscious, is the way to stay conscious through any situation.

It is a very subtle practice. I am a victim of crime. Driven from my home and now living in intolerable situation that I can't control or change. My tin shed is so hot I am passing out and must move. A very difficult situation with little funds, trauma , my pets to care for etc, etc. Your teachings are an an hour to me. To be able to remove myself and not react to the reaction. It's a constant and it is working....thankyou. God bless yoy

Reaction is an opportunity to breathe and come back to the present moment❤️💕🌏

Oh man! Being a mother- a single mother is overwhelming! Beside using her life as practice, getting more support would be good. Raising children is the most challenging practice. I could go on... Hang in there chica and forgive yourself for mistakes.

The best state of mind is when you always have a choice: reacting or not reacting - but that's very hard to attain!

"...and it is passed onto the next generation, until somebody like you awakens" Just to show how important we are to the healing process and clearing ancestral karma.

Phew - we are soooo lucky to have Eckhart as a teacher in these times. We are divinely blessed!

I understand that she is a single mum. I am a single mum too and i often feel guilty too. Guilty because i often feel that my son deserves a better life that the one he is leading. Being a single mum is extremely difficult especially if the father has left for good. I feel for her and like her, i am here tonight to grow and become a better mother.

It struck a chord with me when he said about it goes on through the generations. Hopefully we're the ones to change it.

Does anyone ever imagine what eckhart would do if he had to watch kids or toddlers for a week? Like I would love to see his reaction/how he deals with them!

“You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.” 😎 - Bruce Lee (maybe) 🔮♾

The Covid has been a blessing to me. ( In the sense of spiritual awakening) It might have been challenging but it's no longer a problem.

Nowadays I look at these "oportunities" as situations that arise to strengthen my "spiritual muscles", lol. Exercise on a higher level :-) no gym needed, haha.

This is so what I’m dealing with currently. For the first time today I let my guilt go for “loosing it” with my wonderfully intelligent 9 year old daughter. I feel like this video is going to help my life in so many ways.

What an incredible shift I’m my life this man has initiated.... I used to be very reactive to so many life situations... often not knowing why my reaction was so strong... feeling guilty and ashamed. Understanding the simplicity of acceptance has changed everything for me. I’ve read all Eckhart’s books and watch his videos daily... the impact that these teachings has had on my life cannot be overstated.... Looking back at who I used to be even 4 years ago is like looking at a complete stranger...it really is an odd feeling. It is truly amazing how a shift in consciousness can transform your world Thank you ET

A new T-shirt design = "I lost it but I know I lost it" 😃

The way you react to things can determine the future outcome of an event. We must always remember that we have full control of our reality and what we attract into our experience. Much love 🙏🏽❤️

This makes me want to cry. I just got triggered and then felt shame & guilty because i reacted. Now i realize, i accept it. Accept the present moment as it is, and accept all part of me reacting. Thank you so much!

I teared watching this video. Cause I just forgave myself that I lost it while being with someone

Eckhart, you changed my life. In fact, I CHANGED MY LIFE through you.

Listening to Eckhart and reading his books, leaves me speechless. So much timeless wisdom 🙏🏼♥️ Thank you for sharing.

I love reading the comments, as there are so many wise people who study eckhart in different ways and contexts to put the teachings into practice, which ends up making understanding even easier.Greeatings from Piraquara BR.

I’d LOOOVE to see a video about Misophonia! 🙏🏻

Resisting is noise Accepting is sound Honoring is music It's a choice.

Reactivity= complicated human mind=individual forms(anger)= lose consciousness See it coming= moment of practice(state of consciousness) use it to b part of ur consciousness. This forces u2 go deeper. Build up= see behavior as an alertness= element of choice allow it= reaction & surrender decide 2 not get angry at urself. The moment consciousness is broken u notice it= consciousness.

I can so relate to this, I would add forgiveness along with surrender.

A section of this, at the 5:55 minute mark, was very practical advice to help with the shift to awareness. Glad he spent time to help with the guiding.

Eckhart may have saved my life 😊.. he is so calming, logical and truthful .. so funny and warm too!

What a spiritual teacher, when he talks everything is clear simple yet very powerful !

That's me a single mom to 2 boys... It's taken a toll on me for many years and still is as my oldest son triggers all kinds of emotions and makes me not only angry but cry for days and days... Now I learned not to be guilted any more and just let t be... My only problem is I don't want them to be hit by karma of their poor choices!

I always imagined Eckhart is directly channeling his words, he just doesn’t announce it. This is the first time I heard him tell someone there is a shift happening in this moment. Just wonderful. Spirit is working with the person too.

I AM so thankful for this lesson every time it’s given

I never comment. But I loved & needed to hear this one! I'm glad she asked that question. Parenting with presence would be a great topic.

My partner SNORES!!!! I through meditation have turned this evil into a quiet resolve that I now find comforting! It’s amazing how we can change our thoughts like that! I love practicing these methods! Thank you darling ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹

Some Single moms have a very difficult time today as the family structure is not available to support young mothers the way it used to. I am thankful my exwife is there for her daughter and I have grown to see we all have faults and troubles in this world. I am grateful to guidance of spiritual teachers. It is also good to have practical tools to deal with everyday problems. I am very fortunate to have a brand new grandaughter. I am hopeful both Grandma and I can be good examples for her as she begins her journey on earth. Frances the Best to you! love, Grandpa

"The most important thing here is my consciousness" , and all external reactions , although seemingly righteous, fail in comparison to such a realization. Let the noise happen. "Surrender to it" . "The noise goes right thru you". WOW so much simpler said than done. I am hopeful for others to realize such a higher mindset, and maintain it, just as I strive myself. The guilt is perhaps best seen as noise from yourself; Encourge the passing of guilt right thru yourself, but not without taking note, as to raise the level of awareness until we are fully awake. Grateful for Guilt and Anger as such tools. Blissfully, Thank you

I love it when Eckhart give us all a good belly laugh. It feels wonderful.

I will remember this video next time I "lose it". Imagine. You have a choice. Watch a reaction arising. Do I unconsciously "lose it" or do I allow the present to unfold naturally. How many people wake up in a jail cell after "losing it" and cannot understand how they could do such a thing. They cannot even recall what happened. How the Ego loves negativity. It talked you into acting unconsciously and then berates you for doing what you did. I clearly see this and yet time and time again, I fall into the same trap. Listening to the mind/ego. It is like an addiction. You clearly see what is happening but, due to conditioning, you must react unconsciously.

I am so grateful to Eckhart Tolle. Thank you for being our teacher🙏🏻❤🌸

Angry is an anxious response,it's fear based. Unprocessed fear and anxiety explodes into anger. Sad is depressed and angry is anxious.

I love this 💙 That moment of catching yourself and surrendering that you lost it, is the crucial one. I am getting better and better at this.

Oh my goodness so spiritually uplifting set me up for the day. I'm not losing anything anymore 😂😂I've learnt to surrender in the moment and breathe through it until the next time😂This technique really works🙏Namaste 🙏

Thank you Eckhart for one of the MOST impactful lectures on controlling your anger. Most ALL of us can relate to this woman because we too suffer from this too. I am truly grateful for the way you explained how step by step how the anger comes and then we can observe and be aware which in of itself is so healing. You are one of the BEST spiritual teachers Eckhart ! With gratitude🙏

I have seen Eckhart 3 times in London - he's amazing

It’s more of a blessing to see who says or does what to gain status with majority💐🙏💐

Finally learned the truest meaning of that age old saying, "I'm going to lose it". Love happiness and prosperity ☯️🙏💛

Thank you so much, Eckhart. I am definitely dealing with the anger-reaction and old egoic habit, and realize directly or a minute afterwards. Good to realize that after I get angry and notice afterwards, at least noticing afterwards means I am awareness again. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks.

This is exactly what I’m dealing with and what I’m trying to learn. This pandemic has made me realize I couldn’t control what my parents and family decide to do. Go out or not wear a mask, etc. I had huge conflicts within myself with my reactions and surrendering control and frustration. I’m a lot more at peace now because of practicing the awareness of my reactions.

Our true nature and essence Is pure Love , Peace , stillness , bliss , pure Consciousness and pure Awareness 💚

I can relate to her. I just have one son and a supportive husband still I get her reactivity. And I understand the guilt part too. You're a great mom.

Eckhart Tolle and Kurt Tepperwein are really a blessing for all Humanities this time. If everyone will listen to their words and follow what they speak, this World will be a better place. Its hard when you are awake and everybody around you is still sleeping. Is very sad sometimes to feel alive, when the rest of peoples in this world, just existing.

i love ur sense of humor eckhart !! when i hear your long lectures, its like a laughing, calming n healing experience !!

Tolle's example about the jackhammer is in fact EXACTLY what happened during one session of our college meditation club. The loud noise continued throughout the session and stopped about when the session was over. I think for the most part we reacted in the skillful way Tolle suggests.

Thank You Eckhart Tolle!!!

I am so grateful for Eckhart and this awakened community. Much love.

This video has got to be the most impactful one I have seen yet. My interactions with my mother/greatest trigger have completely changed. I have so much more consciousness when interacting with her and I no longer ‘lose it’. 🙂

Good on You Mum!!! This Mum cares soo much fr her children. To This Mum, You are doing the very best that you can for now. I just want to give you some support about that. Eckhart is the expert 🙂

Practicing means "I forgive myself again and again so I can carry on more aware. I won't lose it again intentionally but unconsciously. And I'll see it when it happens and hug myself again."

This man is such a precious treasure! 🙏👍❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for being present during these tough times. I know the guilt can keep me stuck at times. I really like what you said about it being her Spiritual practice. I react alot with my partners unconscious behavior, the denial, or the justification really get to me and I then react and lose it, good message about when you react to toxic energy you become part of it unknowingly. Thanks again for your Wisdom friend.

I really relate to this mom; I have been having a similar problem lately. it’s so helpful being reminded of how we can be a better witness to hostile emotions, particularly the point on not judging yourself for “losing it.”

Such a blessing upon this earth...to all beings. Thank you Eckart.

One thing I like to practice that has helped me with shame and guilt immensely was not judging myself after the reaction and telling myself “I know that I reacted but I forgive myself because it wasn’t me who reacted. It was the conditioning.” And then try to surrender to triggering situations like Tolle has mentioned

Thankyou Eckhart for helping me in being more alert and present, i have come a long way from where i was and i continue to learn my way being more present with each passing moment🙏🏻

I’m so grateful to have found this tonight

I want to say thank you!! At random I saw a video of you were you read from your Book about the ego! I got frightened about it because I could really see that you are true and that the ego lives inside of me and my mother! I really was scared but I wanted to know more about it because it was so true I couldn’t deny it! For several years I watched your Videos and also those form beautiful mooji and you helped me very much finding my self! I still see sometimes the ego coming back but I am not so strong attached to it and therefor I am really thankful! In some years or maybe even from now on I can life completely without the ego. I don’t know if you are going to read this but whether you do or don’t, I Hope you know how thankful I am to you and also thankful for the love you spread to the world!

From the deepest Part of my heart, thank you Eckhart ❤️

I miss my mom. She passed away After surgery that was supposed to save her life.

I got this video when I actually needed it. This worlds need a spiritual leader like him🌺

Becoming conscious is the best thing modern social media can do to this world.

This is such a great message to all the parents with small children! Thank you

Thank you, with this Anger "situation" am I dealing with also , for a few days werry strongly. And actually I have no reason for. I am gonna take your advice. You are a beutiful soul and exceptional messenger. 💖💖💖

Lucky to be living in Eckhart's time !!

This mom continues to awaken. Love it

Thank you! So meaningful to me! I always thought I needed to get “rid” of the stressors but they are the practice. Beautiful ☺️

I needed this SO bad!! I was trying to meditate today and trying to make it a quiet place, perfect pose, ideal location etc... all the things we think it should be. He helped me to realize it doesn’t have to be! Also, needed this as I have a 5 year old daughter and my roommate has a 7 year old on the weekends. You never cease to amaze me Eckhart! Thank you!!!

I believe this dialogue just saved my soul. Thank you to E.T and to the lady who engaged this question. ❤️

He changes my way of life. What a revelation in this challenging year we are in

4:17 The most important thing here is my state of consciousness. Am I able to use this situation as part of my spiritual practice ? [ That’s how you awaken. ] Not by eliminating situations but by using them, incorporating them, into your spiritual practice. These annoyances are a great opportunity to awaken much more deeply. When the situation starts to build us you there is an opportunity coming right at you.

This is the first time I’ve heard him say “yeah, yeah, yeah” when someone was talking instead of being completely silent

Ive learned that I react angry when threatened, it’s unconscious pattern to protect my space..but no more I need it..another pattern in paralyze or leave situation that is uncomfortable. Both are out of fear..fear of unfamiliarity what is going to happen. I surrender to the uncomfortable and notice that I need space..I eventually learn to communicate that effectively and in loving way and do my best.

Thank you, dear Eckhart, this subject of reactivity is beautifully explained for what it is, with the moment of awareness after "losing it". I've noticed that the practice of observing what happens, and what's likely to trigger a reaction in me, is fruitful when familiar thought patterns begin to run through my mind and I can stop that stampede, and choose a point of view that is a choice instead of an instinctual response. And family patterns show up also!

Adorable and so loving towards that Being...and all.....and such clear explanation of the mechanism of.mind made suffering.... Thank GOD for your awakening and sharing truth for a more awakened world..🙏🌍🙏🌍 Hugs...

Thank You For The Insight & Heightened Awareness, Eckhart Tolle, Your Teachings Always Inspire Me . You Are Truly A Blessed Soul, Please Continue To Shine Your Light Ever So Bright.

Thank you for sharing this. It gave me such a deep appreciation for my own circumstances, annoyances, disruptions, etc. I realize now these are my own tailor-made opportunities for practicing presence and going deeper. What a blessing they are, lol!🥰

this video made me laugh and cry and forgive my self. Eckhart Tolle, magic

THANK you, your videos have changed my life for the better🙏❤️

I don't know if anyone will ever read this comment, but I'll write it anyway, more to myself I guess. You can be happy anywhere you are, you don't need anyone's approval, you are enough, you are strong, other people can be part of your journey, but they can't and never will be destination. Never put your happiness in another person's hands, it doesn't work like that, it's more like a state of mind, but you get to make it, not anyone but you. You can be happy in a small cottage, you can be happy in a big city, as long as you are a friend to yourself. You're loved and worthy, don't allow others to make you believe otherwise. Only you know yourself well, they see just a picture of you their mind made. But it's not you. Not exalty. You're capable of anything your mind can think of. If it's there - you know it's possible. You're the centre of YOUR universe, you can do anything you want. And yes, you're strong enough to achieve it. You just are. Even if you're scared or insecure, trust me, and trust yourself. You are capable. You set your own goals. Remember: the point is to be happy. You can never dream too big or too small. Your goal is to be happy, so go, do whatever it takes to achieve it! I believe in you and I love you. You know it's true. If you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true. We wait for you on our channel ❤

Become an alchemist and learn to turn it into gold. I am totally practicing that because anger has been a life long issue for me, but am completely aware it must be transmuted into something healthy, otherwise is destructive. Blessings Everyone

And yet, all the guided meditations out there suggest us to find ourselves in a quiet place, silent. But i understand that it's the best way to start meditating. But as Mr.Tolle says it so well here...you have to take it further, even when the environment is not so calm. That's why i meditate with my windows open in summer, i hear cars passing by, noises, and it becomes part of it all. I also do it on the bus. It never stops getting easier and better. I consider meditation as a survival behaviour i truly need, today. It's only this year that i made the commitment to meditate every single day, just as i brush my teeth daily for a good dental health; it's a mental health habit. I can't go without it, just as i wouldn't forget to brush my teeth. Some people don't like Mr.Tolle, but he speaks to my human condition, make it easy to understand for me. Thank you for this.

A reaction is an opportunity. This feels good! 🙏🇨🇦❤️🌈🌎🏄‍♀️
