Eckhart Tolle warns that watching extreme horror movies can "lower the frequency of your consciousness," leaving viewers "open to invasion," and that certain types of music are "destructive and toxic." He advises awareness of the content consumed—questioning what music sings about and its frequency—and compares knowingly consuming toxic media to knowingly eating toxic food.

If you watch horror movies where the most dreadful things happen, that can lower the frequency of your consciousness, and then you're open to invasion. People watch the most toxic things. If you knew this food is toxic, would you eat it? No, you wouldn't. There's also certain types of music that are very destructive and toxic. So you have to be careful and just be aware. What is the frequency of that music? What are they singing about? And sometimes they are horrible, unbelievable.
