Controlling Your Reactivity | Q&A Eckhart Tolle

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! ♥️

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

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.

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).

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.

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

“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) 🔮♾

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.

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

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.

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

"...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.

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

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