The Secret of Happiness

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. 

Eckhart Tolle tells us that every encounter we have with another human being offers the opportunity for profound connection and transformation. For those who've made it their life's work to help others, this insight is especially powerful.

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.

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".

If you really want to know how spiritually awake you are, spend time around other people. For each of our relationships - from the brief interaction with the barista to our bonds with lifelong partners or family members - reflect back to us our predominant state of consciousness. On Enlightened Relationships, Eckhart Tolle offers an insightful two-session program for bringing the transformational power of presence into this often challenging yet deeply rewarding area of our lives.

In jedem von uns gibt es eine tiefere Dimension des Bewusstseins. Doch die meisten kennen nur das Ego, die Identifikation mit der Geschichte, die man über sich selbst und sein Leben erzählt. Sie leben nur an der Oberfläche, und wenn man nur an der Oberfläche lebt, muss man Angst haben. In diesem Vortrag erklärt und demonstriert Eckhart Tolle, wie man eine tiefere Dimension in sich selbst erkennen und vertiefen kann, in der es nur noch Freude gibt, Freude ohne Angst.

Spoken simply, with his hallmark warmth, humor, and compassion, here is Eckhart's full presentation of a beautiful way to live.

Warten wir nicht immer auf den nächsten Moment? Der jetzige Moment scheint nie genug zu sein. So lebt jeder unbewusst, als wäre der jetzige Moment ein Hindernis und die Erfüllung läge in der Zukunft. Auf der Suche nach uns selbst übersehen wir ständig die Tiefendimension des JETZT, die untrennbar mit der Dimension der Stille verbunden ist. Das ganze Leben findet immer im JETZT statt, es gibt nichts anderes. Mit dieser Erkenntnis vollzieht sich, wie Eckhart hier sagt, eine Bewusstseinsveränderung, eine tiefere Dimension des Seins wird erfahren, die jenseits von Gedanken liegt.

Through the centuries, countless people from around the world have been coming to India, thirsty in their search for truth. Considered to be the birthplace of spirituality, India has produced more great mystics and spiritual teachers than any other country. What more fitting place for Eckhart to speak of the eternal Now? During this seven-day retreat, Eckhart speaks with humble authenticity, wisdom and humor on a wide range of subjects.

In Eckhart Tolle on Great Western Classics, Eckhart shares from his personal bookshelf five works he holds dear to his heart and continues to turn to for guidance and inspiration.

What is the most essential trait for an effective healer or teacher? Intelligence, skill, and compassion are important, explains Eckhart Tolle—but without presence, our work in service of others falls short of its potential. Practicing Presence is a retreat for health practitioners, educators, spiritual teachers—or anyone who shares wisdom—offering more than seven hours of Eckhart’s practical advice for those fostering transformation in others. Covering a wide range of challenges and concerns specific to the helping professions.

Eckhart Tolle encourages you to step into the space between thoughts and discover the joyous treasures that lie within. If your true self can’t be found in your job, your possessions, your body, or even the contents of your mind, then just who are you, anyway? Tolle has long considered this question - and with The Journey into Yourself, he guides listeners on a fascinating exploration beyond conceptual identities and into the timeless consciousness of the present moment.   

To make the journey into The Power of Now you need to leave your analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Access to the Now is everywhere - in the body, the silence, and the space all around you. These are the keys to enter a state of inner peace.

Wir können die Welt nicht im Außen verändern, sagt Eckhart Tolle, nur in uns selbst. Und wie tun wir das? Wir öffnen uns einen Moment lang für die innere Stille, für einen inneren Raum des Bewusstseins ohne Gedanken. Dann stoppt für einen Moment die Geschichte, die wir uns über uns selbst und die Welt erzählen, und wir erkennen, dass wir Bewusstsein sind. Diese Dimension des geistigen Erwachens wächst ganz leise, sie entsteht im Inneren und wird immer mehr zur Basis unseres Seins.

Best-selling author and spiritual guide Eckhart Tolle led a remarkable two-day retreat at Findhorn, Scotland, a community on the leading edge of personal and global transformation. His weekend talks, captured on audio, create a deeply moving experience for listeners. Speaking on the subject of stillness, which he describes as a doorway into the Now and to true personal enlightenment, Tolle shows listeners how to find stillness in the present moment and enter a deeper dimension of peace and fulfillment.
