  • Essential Teachings Special: Empathy And the Suffering of Others

    Essential Teachings Special: Empathy And the Suffering of Others
    Apr 16 2026
    Originally aired July 28, 2022. In this podcast Eckhart talks about our growing awareness and how it can be used in service of others. He says when presence is the foundation of our lives, we are more available emotionally. He explains why this is when the pitfalls of the ego no longer block us. Eckhart believes when we are confronted by the pain of others, if we have a clear channel connected to the source of consciousness, we will exercise empathy and compassion. In this state he says we will not be shaken when the winds of misfortune blow because we are rooted in the deepest part of our being.

  • Essential Teachings Special: The Individual and Collective Pain Body

    Essential Teachings Special: The Individual and Collective Pain Body
    Apr 9 2026
    Originally aired July 21, 2022. In this episode Eckhart reflects on the power of the present moment. He then answers a question about the individual and collective pain bodies. He says we all have both and sometimes one is stronger than the other. He believes those with a strong pain body are often more likely to awaken than those who don’t have one. He explains that either way, the great danger is falling into the trap of what he calls “victim identity.” Eckhart says we need to take responsibility for the accumulated suffering inside ourselves and learn to heal from it. Eckhart believes our suffering is transmuted into awareness and that is the beginning of awakening.

I’ve come across these after reading Tolle’s other books. I have found extra wisdom and calm here. I like being able to start and finish my day with one or more episodes to keep me calm and present throughout my day. Many thanks to Tolle for providing these free.

A dose of daily calm

Eckhart keeps it soo simple.
Presence.

For me, he is the only person on the planet who helps me sleep. He is soo boring while he guides to presence, that insomnia is no longer an issue because I'm either bored to sleep or peacefully present. Win Win for a long term insomniac ☺️🙏✨️

Soo boring and that's why I love it!
