The Art of Presence

The unconditioned is alive in you” is Eckhart’s message as he exquisitely guides us to go beyond the reactive tendencies and patterns of our conditioning to a knowing of ourselves through the surrendered state of consciousness. Both newcomers and those acquainted with the teachings will find beautiful inspiration as Eckhart deepens our discovery of this great power within us.

To be human is to suffer - and yet, according to Eckhart Tolle, all of these painful moments contain an opportunity for awakening. In Transforming Suffering into Peace, this celebrated teacher offers a new perspective on the ego and what he terms "the pain-body" - all the accumulated emotional wounds that follow us through life. Though the pain-body can easily rise up and hijack our consciousness with unpleasant emotions, in this program Eckhart reveals a hopeful truth - by turning the light of awareness on our suffering, that suffering becomes a powerful gateway to Presence. 

What is your relationship to time? For most us, the ticking of the clock propels our attention away from the here and now—and toward an imaginary future that our thoughts tell us is far more important. This leads to frustration and suffering and robs us of the richness of life available only in the timeless present.

The Doorway into Now challenges the thought-based concept of time, inviting us to “step out of the stream of mental activity” and discover the formless, eternal essence of who we are beyond the mind—what Eckhart often describes as “stillness.”

Awakening from this dream, explains Eckhart Tolle, starts by coming into a new relationship to the present moment—and discovering who we are beneath the noisy surface of our lives. Recorded at Riverside Church in New York City, Transcending the Ego offers Eckhart's helpful pointers for realizing what he calls our "being nature"—our deeper identity beyond the personal sense of self.

When we hear the word “purpose,” we tend to think about striving to reach a certain goal in the future. “There is another kind of purpose that has nothing to do with time,” explains Eckhart Tolle. “This is your primary purpose—to be here fully in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment remains paramount.” With Finding Your Life’s Purpose, Eckhart presents a two-session program on making the transition from “thought-based” living to the realization of presence as the foundation for all you do.

When we resist the present moment, we close the door to happiness. But when we align with what is, we access the source of lasting peace and contentment. On The Secret of Happiness, Eckhart Tolle invites you to experience how your sense of joy and fulfillment radically changes through the awakening of consciousness and the realization of who you are beyond the content of your thoughts.

Underneath everything you think and do, there is a stillness that is both vast and alive. This is who you are in your most essential nature - but once you’ve caught a glimpse, how do you integrate this discovery into daily living? This is the question Eckhart Tolle explores with you in Bringing Stillness into Everyday Life. Underneath everything you think and do, there is a stillness that is both vast and alive. This is who you are in your most essential nature - but once you’ve caught a glimpse, how do you integrate this discovery into daily living?

The essence of meditation is not something we do; rather, it is simply to be, fully present and aligned with life in the moment. This is the central teaching of Eckhart Tolle’s What Is Meditation? In this audio session, Eckhart helps us transcend our beliefs and ideas about meditation—including the tendency to turn the practice into a means to an end—in order to realize directly our formless nature as being that is primary to any doing.

On Awakening in the Now, Eckhart offers teachings to help you transcend the compulsive thinking that keeps us from creating a better world. This illuminating audio session will deepen your experience of what Eckhart calls “space consciousness."

When challenges arise in your life, what happens inside of you? For many of us, the larger the problem, the more we resist, contract, and react unconsciously. On the other hand, explains Eckhart Tolle, in any given moment we have the chance to remain open to life, align with what is, and experience the natural sense of peace and aliveness that he calls "the joy of being".

Once there was a student who asked the master, "How can I become free of the world?" The reply: "Love the world and everything in it." How do we handle this paradox? By allowing and accepting what is. This is the simple yet life-changing teaching Eckhart Tolle shares in Freedom from the World, a retreat with the best-selling author of The Power of Now.

If you go about your day trapped in the realm of thinking, it's difficult, if not impossible, to free yourself from stress and anxiety - and the interpersonal suffering that goes along with it.
