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.

Funny and wise

Reed one or two of his books first, but definitely get this one at some point. Lots of great stuff here.

bravo well done

enjoyed the many pearls offered .
author has a calming aura . worth lustening over to gain more insight.

Again and again

Infinite value in this. I turn to this recording over and over when I am struggling and when I’m not, when I need answers and when I want to deepen my practice. It is worth so much

Wisdom for new millennia

Deep meanings delivered in a peaceful blend of wisdom, and humor that is inspiring and illuminating.

a ten hour present.

Would you listen to The Journey Into Yourself again? Why?

The journey is a daily dose of reality served up by Master E. His wry sense of humor is tangible.

What about Eckhart Tolle’s performance did you like?

There is a genuine sense of intimacy in the setting. You are given a wonderful opportunity to attend this momentary event.
I particularly enjoyed the narration from this extraordinary individual.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

More of a daily read to touch home in this moment.

Any additional comments?

A.udible is a great & inexpensive way to stay in touch with books

Elkhart' s voice is soothing and his laughter

divine.. I struggled with loud distracting laughter at times from someone in the audience. His message is worth the annoyance. All his books are as divine as he is. Thanks Eckhart.

Great audio book except for background noise

As always Eckhart teaching us great things. Every chapter is really nice and gives you a different way of see life. Only issue is that while it was recorder at a retreat there was a guy that laughs really hard and ruins every chapter audio. In my opinion it should be edited. The rest is all good. Very nice to have this on audio!!

Long and sweet

What made the experience of listening to The Journey Into Yourself the most enjoyable?

I read the Power of Now years ago and it pretty much told everything that Eckhart teaches. Then after months of reading it I started to forgot certain concepts and when I got into everyday situations, I saw myself reacting the same way like before. This recording of a retreat and some of his other works are a good refreshers. It's a long recording, it took a few weeks to finish it and I didn't feel that I had to come back to it; I almost wanted to be in the calm atmosphere that characterizes him and the entire recording. It certainly worked for me but I can imagine some people who are looking for fast pacing discussions on some over-stimulated mind objects (whatever they are), they may be unsatisfied. But for the rest of us, it's a good use of a credit.

Any additional comments?

I loved the laughing man in the back. It certainly gave a little different background to some part of the presentation but I loved as the presenter reacted and the fact that he left the audio as is, didn't try to cut him out or re-record it. This is part of his teaching to allow things happen, don't try to "fake it". The other thing is that even if some of the topics are quite serious per se, if you take out the ego from the picture, things lighten up.If you are annoyed of the laughing man, ask yourself why. I admit, I even practiced his laughing a few times :)

a scientist’s adventure, a listener’s delight

I started with the Kindle sample, listened to the full Audible presentation, and have just now bought the paperback. The audiobook was special, Merlin Sheldrake’s narration powerful in a deep way, and the paperback will allow me to go back over the substance to refine my understanding.

The subject matter is fascinating, revealing so much about Fungi that I never knew or even suspected. Merlin’s writing is clear and, though with a few terms I didn’t understand without rereading carefully and sometimes required some Googling, the scientific story and logic is presented without unsubstantiated overstatement. What was particularly interesting and important to me was Merlin’s ability to put the scientific information in a broader context of the interplay of life forms and to suggest how this information plays into the meaning of life broadly and human life specifically. As a skilled scientist, Merlin was able to look at questions and connections from fresh perspectives, often turning his questions and suggestions about face to open up new connections and possibilities.

As a bonus to the rewards of reading and listening, I enjoyed Merlin’s evident passion for his subject and its broader meaning.

Definitely a full and enthusiastic five stars for me!

Love this book!

This audible book is easy to listen to. Eckhart is very funny at times and keeps you pulled into the moment. This book kept me engaged throughout and constantly reflecting inwards.
