Twenty years of depression, and he asked Eckhart Tolle one question

Someone at a retreat tells Eckhart Tolle he has lived with depression for more than twenty years. It affects his concentration, his ability to be around people, and his capacity to work. What happens next is the reason to watch. He does not reach for a teaching. He asks him questions. How does it show up in your life. Do you have a practice of any kind. And when he says music is his meditation, he asks whether he listens or whether he sings. He sings. Ah, he says. Excellent. Very good. That exchange is the heart of it. Rather than replacing what he has, he tells her that what he is already doing is genuinely helpful and worth continuing, and he suggests adding something alongside it if he wants to, a mantra perhaps, or vipassana, which is a structured way of coming into contact with the inner body. He also says something about an experience he had after one of his talks, when everything seemed lit up for a few days and then faded. That light, he tells him, came from within him. It did not arrive from outside and it was not given to him by anyone. It was uncovered for a while, and what covers it is dense layers of mental and emotional conditioning. Which means it is not gone, and it is not somewhere else. A note from us. This is a conversation about presence and practice, and it is not a substitute for professional support. If you are struggling, please talk to a doctor or a qualified professional, and if you need someone to talk to now, help is available in your country. Eckhart goes much further into this in the full session. Join Eckhart Tolle Now to watch. 👇
