The Journey Into Yourself

By: Eckhart Tolle

Narrated by: Eckhart Tolle

Length: 10 hrs

Publisher's summary

The theme of this four-day retreat: "It's Always Now"

The Now is inseparable from who you are at the deepest level. It is the prerequisite of Being. As you listen to the words on this tape, you participate in the retreat. To "retreat" means to step back - not only from the outer world, but also from the world in your head, the thinking mind. Allow the sound of the words to take you beyond words and beyond sound to the stillness within. Allow the Now to be as it is and so realize the formless essence of the Now as consciousness itself.

Suggested practice: use the lesson throughout the day.

Lesson 1: What is your relationship with the present moment?

Lesson 2: Get into your body! Practices for inner body awareness.

Lesson 3: Using sound as a portal into stillness.

Lesson 4: A day spent in silence.

Lesson 5: Questions & answers. Being present, amidst the world.

Lesson 6: Questions & answers. The power of detachment and surrender.

Blessings on your Journey into your Self.

Eckhart Tolle is the most influential author in my life.

Love his voice and the words spoken. No need for much more than what this book offers.

enjoyed

I liked it. it was fun to listen to. some good laughs. I enjoyed going into the body.

Amazing Journey deep inside

Would you consider the audio edition of The Journey Into Yourself to be better than the print version?

I love every single part of this journey. Specially the silence between words (you will appreciate them too after you listen to this audio). Lots of laughs and many things (or one thing actually) you learn about yourself like drama, body pain, living in the vertical dimension.If you are looking and discovering enlightenment or i think it is important if you are deeply into this and you like to understand the core concepts beyond techniques, this will be something that you will enjoy.The questions add lots of value and to listen to this couple times and try to be listen to it in the "Now", you will be amazed how each time you will get fulfillment from it.

What does Eckhart Tolle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Although, you might think that when he talks very slow and low steady tone, that this will be really boring! However, you will find him really funny and his way of narrating this is very useful and it is aligned with the topic. Because Echart talks about silence and stillness, he resembles all aspects of stillness.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Be still and know I am God.

Had some good points but annoying laugh

I'm halfway through this and while i enjoy some of the stuff he has to say. Every second sentence he makes himself laugh. Example Him: "When something bad happens your ego looks for someone to blame" /laughter and crowd laughs even harder Me: /scratching my head in confusion cause i don't understand why he is laughing.

There is also one member of the crowd who has a very annoying laugh. I would love if someone did a version where his and the crowds laughter is edited out

Another great course by eckhart.

This book is a compilation of sessions from one of the retreats that eckhart has run. His words have enduring meaning and arise from pure consciousness. A great course overall.

There Are No Words

There are no words to efficiently describe how wonderful this book is. Then again, I am a very different person from most, and I find things of deep intellect very desirable. I am always seeking to improve myself so that I can have the greatest positive effect on anyone that comes across my path and to whom I may have the capability to effect in a larger capacity, if my life is directed that way. I recommend this book to anyone seeking to have a grander existence with a happier future and continue on with the rest of Eckhart Tolles' books.

Practicing everyday

This is another amazing teaching by Eckhart. I had to practice my presence and scold my ego when the person in the audience would laugh so loudly and very often. I found it a bit distracting but then used to experience to notice what going on inside my own body. :)

Another excellent audiobook by Tollee

This isn't actually an audiobook, it's recordings of a retreat he held. When you listen, it's almost like being there, but you do miss a lot of visual aspects of the retreat, gestures he made, etc. But still worth listening to. I will definitely re-listen to this again and again

just absorb this

if you don't get it, you aren't ready to.
you can come back later and try again. the messages here are powerful. the humor is humbling.
I am thankful to have this to bring realization and words for feelings I previously didn't understand.

Love the humor!

Awesome book! Anyone who wants some guidance into themselves, this book is a must read!!!
