Essential Meditations with Eckhart Tolle

Discover the timeless Presence beyond thought in this collection of meditations from Eckhart Tolle
 
We tend to think of meditation as a formal practice we block time out for each day. But what if every moment of your life was your meditation?
 
For Eckhart Tolle, meditation shouldn’t be approached as a chore or a means to an end. Rather, meditation is something that you live. “The aim of meditation,” states Eckhart, “is that it eventually becomes your normal state of consciousness.” Essential Meditations with Eckhart Tolle points the way toward this quiet, constant state of Presence—where practice gives way to the realization of your innermost identity.
 
This retrospective collection gathers rare talks and classic meditations from Eckhart’s extensive teachings, many of which have only been available to retreat participants. Over the course of eleven sessions, Eckhart leads you in meditations for breaking attachment to the stream of thought, easing suffering, discerning your “formless” self, and embodying Presence in every single moment.
