Learnings of Spiritual Teacher Eckhart Tolle
Nationally noted spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle currently lives in Vancouver Canada. In 1968, Tolle was born in Germany, where he resided until age thirteen. At this point he moved with his father to Spain. Then when he was nineteen, he attended Cambridge University and the University of London in the United Kingdom, where he had recently moved. Some of Eckhart's London activities included counselor and spiritual teacher roles with individuals.
At the age of twenty nine, Eckhart Tolle claims to have had a spiritual awakening after suffering for years with depression and thoughts of suicide. This awakening is what started his journey of discovering himself and spiritual teaching. His teachings are based on living in the present moment and not living in the past or becoming obsessed with the future. He also teaches people how to transform their conscious to a become more enlightened.
He does not focus his spiritual teachings on one specific religion, rather a combination of many different religions. He uses teachings from the Bible, Zen Buddhism, and Hinduism as well as many other sources. He believes that many religions have lost their spiritual substance due to placing too much focus on extraneous matters. He claims that most of our unhappiness is caused by the way we think about situations, not the situations themselves.
Eckhart Tolle is the author of quite a few popular spiritual books. The Power of Now is one of his New York Times bestselling books, and it is available in 33 languages. The Power of Now paired with sequel, A New Earth, are viewed as some of the most spiritually influential books of modern times. Another book, Stillness Speaks, was written by him as an aid to meditation. Tolle has many popular book titles regarding spiritual teaching. Eckhart Tolle also has created a range of DVDs, CDs, and picture books targeted toward both children and adults.
In addition to being an author, Eckhart Tolle is also a highly sought after spiritual speaker. Today he travels all over the world holding seminars and attending retreats teaching his methods to thousands of people. He also streams live meditations every month on a program called Tolle TV.
