Be Aware Now | A Special Meditation with Eckhart Tolle (Binaural Audio)

It at this moment, you are aware of where you are. You are aware of the room, you are aware that you are breathing. In addition to that, sense perceptions, perhaps some feelings, a few thoughts floating through your head, or maybe no thought, maybe just a clear sky inside you with just little puffy clouds here and there, little thoughts and then disappear again. So perhaps you are the clear sky and the clear sky is the awareness. So the essence of our meditation is to be aware. Right now. Whether or not your eyes are closed or open doesn't matter whether you are aware that you are aware, whether you are conscious that you are conscious. Can you sense your own consciousness? It's kind of subject and object merging within you. Because usually when you're aware of something, the subject is aware of the object. But when you are aware of awareness, the subject is no longer aware of an object because there's just awareness. You are aware that you are aware. Object and subject merge into one self, awareness, presence. That's the sky, the clear sky. Occasional thoughts may come. Not a problem. And you can be aware with every cell of the body. And alertness that pervades the entire body. It's not the body anymore, it's just the space. You are that presence. There's nothing to know about it beyond that. You can't know it. You can only be it. And as you no longer identify with the mind, the thoughts, the presence, can shine through the mind, can even use your mind and inspire your mind. Another word we can use is stillness that see stillness within you. Vibrantly alive stillness. And of course, you don't necessarily need to sit still to be in stillness. You can move as you know and be in stillness. That's the beauty of it. You can do things and be in stillness, can interact with another human being, can even speak to them and be in stillness, as I'm speaking to you now, but I'm in stillness. The words are just floating around the stillness. And you can bring stillness to nature, and nature will love you for it. And you can share stillness with a tree. See, if you can be as still as the tree, that's something. Or if the sky is clear at night, you look at the sky, there are stars, but there's the vastness of space, which is also stillness. There's not a single sound in space. Only in science fiction movies. But there is no sound in outer space. The deepest stillness. And even a flower, this, it's surrounded by stillness too. The flower exists in that still field. So if you need a little bit of help to find the inner stillness go to a tree, look at the sky, the night sky, or the sky at sunset as it gradually darkens, very still and spacious. Or you can touch the earth, it's also very still. So many things can teach you stillness and help you. And the quickest way to stillness in any situation, no matter where you are, whether on top of a mountain or Times Square or Piccadilly Circus in the midst of traffic, is to welcome the present moment. Just that little thing, no matter what form it takes, whatever arises in the present moment, you welcome it, or at least you allow it to be non resistance. Immediately you can sense in the background of your being that field of stillness or peace. So that simple thing, allowing this moment to be as it is, connects you with the transcendent in you. Couldn't be any easier than that. All you have to do is remember that this is possible, and then do.
