Story
We tend to think of meditation as a formal practice we block time out for each day. But what if every moment of your life was your meditation? For Eckhart Tolle, meditation shouldn't be approached as a chore or a means to an end. Rather, meditation is something that you live. "The aim of meditation," states Eckhart, "is that it eventually becomes your normal state of consciousness." Essential Meditations with Eckhart Tolle points the way toward this quiet, constant state of Presence - where practice gives way to the realization of your innermost identity.

Story
Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are and learn to live and breathe freely.

Story
To be human is to suffer - and yet, according to Eckhart Tolle, all of these painful moments contain an opportunity for awakening. In Transforming Suffering into Peace, this celebrated teacher offers a new perspective on the ego and what he terms "the pain-body" - all the accumulated emotional wounds that follow us through life. Though the pain-body can easily rise up and hijack our consciousness with unpleasant emotions, in this program Eckhart reveals a hopeful truth - by turning the light of awareness on our suffering, that suffering becomes a powerful gateway to Presence.

Publisher's Summary
The Now is inseparable from who you are at the deepest level. It is the prerequisite of Being. As you listen to the words on this tape, you participate in the retreat. To "retreat" means to step back - not only from the outer world, but also from the world in your head, the thinking mind. Allow the sound of the words to take you beyond words and beyond sound to the stillness within. Allow the Now to be as it is and so realize the formless essence of the Now as consciousness itself.
Suggested practice: use the lesson throughout the day.
Blessings on your Journey into your Self.

A certain maturity level is required-good learning
It's more like Power of Now (PofN) snippets, but there is a bliss in the voice and the way he laugh, which only comes with peace. Did not learn a great deal though as the concepts discussed were part of PofN. Helped to align back..

The best Audible credit I've spent yet
There truly are no words to describe the beauty of what can be found in this audio book if you are able to really "hear" its message. If I could give it 100 stars, I would. I agree with previous reviewers also on Eckhart's subtle and wonderful sense of humor. I laughed so many times in the course of listening to this. And I cried. I've listened to about four of his other works, including The Power Of Now. And while I enjoyed them immensely (they had the soothing effect of slipping into a warm bath), my understanding of the concepts in them was largely limited to the cognitive realm. This is the book that had me listening from a whole other place, that brought me to a whole new level of "understanding". One for which there truly are no words.

A very calming, centering, enlightening experience
This is a recording of a Eckhart Tolle retreat. It amazes me how Eckhart Tolle is at his best at any given moment. Even though it's a retreat, the words spoken are clear, precise and contain the full essence of his teachings as if they are weighed in gold. There is plenty of wisdom, practical advice, new perspectives as well as the hilarious Eckhart Tolle brand humor. There several adjectives I can use. Most of all, though, it has been a very centering, calming, humorous and very enlightening experience.
So, yeah, you should get it :-)

Eckhart is a true master
I never heard of Eckhart Tolle until about five months ago when I was drawn to The Power Of Now on cd at a library. I picked it up and immediately knew I would find what I was looking for in it. Since then, I bought several of his audiobooks. This one is definitely one of my favorites! He is very funny! I laughed out loud a few times and had to even hold back my laughter while listening during quiet time (sleep, library, etc). He is a true master of our time. I have most of his teachings in my ipod and listen to them all the time. His relaxing voice is also great to listen to while going to sleep. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone who is looking to grow spiritually!

Wonderful teaching
This is a really wonderful audiobook. If you have a few other of his lectures you will likely find parts of it are family since Eckhart does say similar and familiar things. An interesting element of this recording is that there is one person who laughs throughout the lecture at the most random things. It grated on my nerves at first until I realized that this was an opportunity to accept what is rather than let the ego keep grabbing hold of it and being annoyed or wondering if this person was on drugs, which I did for the first few hours. Eventually, this person's laughter was just a sound I chose to not let distract me from being present while listening to Eckhart. Amusingly enough, there are moments when Eckhart begins laughing at things he's saying which I suspect was triggered by the seemingly randomness of this audience member's laughter. All in all, the lecture in itself is good, while that one person's laughter perhaps made it more than a lecture and into a putting the teachings into practice type of experience. As I continued listening I found I could gauge my presence by whether the laughter triggered judgment and/or annoyance or not.

100% loved it with exception to the laughing monk
first off i love eckhart tolle and enjoyed this entire audiobook... but did anyone else hear the annoying guy in the background at the retreat laughing louder than an ass after everything tolle says? the first 4 hours i was like totally accepting the "isness" of the idiot but i really think, after 10 hours of hearing his dramatic reply to every single thing tolle says, i actually felt his incessant laughter was to ridicule and dismiss anything being talked about... who knows. who cares.
there are many moments where tolle makes hilarious jokes and you hear the entire retreat audience laughing and i laugh as well but this guy is seriously stoned or something. i think tolle may have addressed it by pointing out how some zenned out monks laugh at most things they hear, which i guess is his acceptance and alertness to his surroundings (lots of "students" and one noisy monkey).
i still loved "the journey into yourself" and was eventually able to pay no mind to the audible annoyances in listening to an audiobook to learn to pay no mind to such things... but it's actually totally annoying to listen to a 10 hour unabridged audiobook by a genius and hear some drunk heckler buzzing in every 20 seconds, my thanks to the peanut gallery!

Next Step on the Journey of Enlightenment
Start with "The Power of Now" and then follow with this recording of a retreat he hosted. I have noticed comments about the man laughing in the background of the audio. I will admit that it is challenging to get past the distraction, but I would argue that it just drives Eckhart's point home even stronger, and if you were truly in the present while listening, it wouldn't bother you as much. Use it as a method to bring your focus even closer to what he is teaching, as well as a way to make yourself more "transparent" to the annoyances that occur in our everyday lives.

Learned a lot!
Eckhart Tolle is always great to listen too, every time I listen to it I learn something new. The whole talk is over 10 hours so you always miss something and pick up something new. There is some very annoying guy laughing in the background throughout the talk with it unfortunate. Still Eckhart is a great spiritual speaker.

I totally agree with Jeri of Maryland (who is being kind) because this man's inappropriate laughter was impossible to ignore and a testament to Tolle's tolerance.

Funny, unusual, profound and life changing.
I just loved the whole retreat. It was serious, but also really funny and in fact light-hearted. In the beginning I wasn't too sure what to make of Eckhart's unusual approach, but ended up laughing out loud quite a few times with people staring at me if I wasn't in the comfort of my own home. I just couldn't help myself! His dry sense of humor and funny remarks, which sound all too familiar, would have the room roaring with laughter in no time including myself.
His teachings are reflective and such an eye-opener. You just realise that this knowledge is all you would ever need. I found it made a real difference to my life.

The Journey into Yourself
If you've listened to or read "The Power of Now" or any of Ekhart's other works and enjoyed these, I don't think it's possible that you could listen to this and not find it an awesome recording. The Journey into Yourself was recorded at one of Ekhart's three day retreats. Delivering a magical mix of insight, humour and serenity there is no doubt that this man has awakened an energy in himself that we all unconsciously or even consciously seek to reunite with. Ekhart, in the most gentle of ways, is on a mission to facilitate this process for any human being who is open and ready.

Reaches the parts other teachings can't.....
I bought this audiobook after reading The Power of Now and A New Earth. This recording works very well as it has a relaxed, conversational quality to it.
There is something about Eckhart Tolle's teachings that reaches into a person and awakens a realisation of something that had been forgotten.
I found the audiobook entertaining, funny, heart-warming and full of insight, and promptly started listening to it all over again once I reached the end of it, such was my reluctance to end the connection. It felt like coming home.

Such a shame
I am somewhat of an eckhart fan, for many years I have listened to his words. This is a VERY good structured listen BUT..... Certain members of the audience are incredibly annoying, to the point that I am unable to listen to the second half. It was giving me a good lesson in accepting sounds as they are. But this was too much!

A Must Have for Tolle Fans
This is a live performance recorded at a seminar. Eckhart Tolle is a fine and eloquent public speaker and spiritual teacher. I find his audiobooks calming and helpful. This title is no exception. It gets me to focus on the here and now and brings peace into my life. He is totally without ego which is incredibly rare and refreshing. The only downside to listening to a live recording is that some of the audience like the sound of their own laughter and are inappropriately noisy but that does not happen a lot and there is something refreshing about listening to a live performance from such an inspiring and genuinely humble man. Well worth a listen.

Better than being there ! ?
I appreciate this recording so much....it is full of rich moments of insight and wisdom...humour, logic and Tolle's own unique brand.of teaching that goes right to the heart and head! It is , as are all his teachings, a caralyst for personal and universal change and I shall be re visiting it often to absorb, apply and evaluate my personal journey. I shall listen again to note particularly relevant, challenging or favourite moments....but I must.say that the person with that amazing laugh is as much another lesson in accepting what IS as a delight to hear! Very much enjoyed and valued my Mothers ' Day Audible gift!!

If you can ignore the annoying laughing man...
I find it difficult to remain focused on the true messages of the monologue. The audiobook was recorded at a community retreat and as such there is an audience. I like the idea because you receive immediate feedback and there is a natural unscripted flow. Unfortunately there is a terrible distraction in the form of a man who just cannot seem to stop laughing. As Mr Tolle expounds on topics such as death and grief there is a man literally 'dying' of laughter in the background. That in and of itself is enough to make my mind take over and I lose concentration of the moment and the message. The laughter doesn't even seem to follow the message. it reminds me of early 80'S comedy on TV where they would edit in fake laughing. In this case the laughter is annoying, unprovoked and out of context. it is almost like this guy is in another room watching Mr Bean while Mr Tolle tries to continue stoically.
I appreciate that I am now applying a literary manifestation of my lack of tolerance and probably therefore am exactly the sort of person who should try harder to be 'in the now'.
The content will not disappoint you.

The laughing man.
He is a spiritual teacher. Accept his laugh for what it is. Surrender to it. Let it be. Eckhart is on great form and maintains a high level of humour for almost ten hours. I highly recommend this book but almost didn't select it due to the comments about the laughing man. Rejoice in his happiness and the beauty of this wonderful book.

Just as I enter a meditative state I'm jolted back into the present by irritating- and loud - guffaws from one or two members of the audience.
Tone it down, pleeeese. Otherwise a great experience.

A wonderful journey of self discovery
I was expecting this audiobook to be similar to Tolle's previous work The Power of Now - and in many ways it was. However, it is far more powerful, emotional and interesting. I wonder if this is in part because the recording was made at a live seminar, and you can here the audience participation as well as Tolle's laughter and can sense the atmosphere. I am finding great joy in being in the current moment, rather than either thinking endlessly of past moments or living for future ones.
Everyone should listen to this groundbreaking recording.

A daily dose of Eckhart
How can I review something so transformative? Eckhart has such a gentle, light-hearted yet nuanced way of opening my eyes to the step back, into the self which observes each present moment for the treasure it is. Simple yet profound teachings which at times seem really complicated! It's not though, I just needed to be very present to understand it at times. Highly recommend. There is a challenging aspect which I'm not sure if I should mention (as you can treat it as part of your practice) but there is an audience member with a very persistent, loud laugh for the first two thirds of the recording.

Loved new earth and power of now, I don't know how this made it on here
Love Tolls, but this shouldn't be on audible. It's live classroom teachings- no streamlined content, slow, and most of it is people laughing/breathing. Not recommended. :(

Excellent
It’s wonderful to hear Eckhart Tolle explain the ideas from The Power of Now. A lot of practical examples come out in the audiobook, particularly from the Q&A chapter.

Good!
Really good except for the person in the audience laughing the whole time, a bit distracting.

Loved it!
The condition of the human mind was so wonderfully illustrated with humour. Personally, I think the laughter of the live audience (and Eckhart’s unusual chuckle) made it perfect!

Loved it!
I soak up anything from Eckhart. His humour, humbleness and simple delivery make listening to his teachings a light & informative journey back home. Thank you Eckhart!!

A great listen.
This is such a great listen. Elkhart Tolle speaks very well and clear and really takes you on a journey of seeing a complete different perspective of yourself in life and the way our mind has such a huge influence in our daily lives. I feel that everyone shout take the time to listen to this book.
