Feel the energy of your inner body. Immediately mental noise slows down or ceases. Feel it in your hands, your feet, your abdomen, your chest. Feel the life that you are, the life that animates the body. The body then becomes a doorway, so to speak, into a deeper sense of aliveness underneath the fluctuating emotions and underneath your thinking.
Eckhart TolleMuch suffering, much unhappiness arises when you take each thought that comes into your head for the truth.
Eckhart TolleCreativity arises out of the state of thoughtless presence in which you are much more awake than when you are engrossed in thinking.
Eckhart TolleYou can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.
Eckhart TolleFor some people, it's the beginning of an awakening when they hear or read, "You have a voice in your head that never stops talking. Have you noticed that?" And suddenly they become aware that the thoughts go through their heads, whereas before they were so identified with them that they were those thoughts.
Eckhart Tolle
