About this listen
Discover the timeless Presence beyond thought in this collection of meditations from Eckhart Tolle
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.
This retrospective collection gathers rare talks and classic meditations from Eckhart's extensive teachings, many of which have only been available to retreat participants. Over the course of eleven sessions, Eckhart leads you in meditations for breaking attachment to the stream of thought, easing suffering, discerning your "formless" self, and embodying Presence in every single moment.
Here Eckhart will guide you in discovering:
- The power of asking "Who am I?" as an inquiry practice
- Why Stillness is much more than quieting the unruly mind
- The true source of all creativity
- The evocative poetry of Steve Taylor
- Why awakening is a process of unlearning your assumptions and biases
- The infinite space hidden between your thoughts
- Recognizing yourself as embodied Presence rather than an accumulation of narratives
- Understanding the movement of chi or prana in the body
- The joyous simplicity of present-moment mindfulness
- How to rise above the thinking mind rather than sinking below it
In Essential Meditations with Eckhart Tolle, you will find not only teachings about transcending the thought-based self, but a direct experience of Stillness itself.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
This audio collection brings us five essential sessions, featured in the Ram Dass documentary film Becoming Nobody, presented here in their entirety. Each beautifully illuminates a core dimension of Ram Dass’s wisdom. Through teaching stories, true accounts, eye-opening revelations, and his one-of-a-kind sense of humor, this legendary teacher helps show us the way out of the prison of our self-identity - and into the joy of being at once “nobody” and the universal divine at play in the world.

Story
Awareness awakens you to the truth that you possess everything you need right now to be happy and fulfilled. Happiness is your natural state. You don't need to do anything to acquire it; you only need to drop something. This audiobook shows you what that is. There is not a single person who ever gave time to being aware who’s quality of life didn't change. You see life differently because you are different. You respond to people and situations differently. You see things you have never seen before. Beautiful things. You're much more energetic, much more alive.

Life, Starr reminds us, is holy ground. Lyrical and tender, filled with profound wisdom and mind-opening insights, Ordinary Mysticism is about finding wonder in regular life, grounded in lessons from spiritual teachers across the centuries—from Julian of Norwich to Ram Dass. Starr combines their ancient wisdom with the story of her own personal and spiritual journey—from surviving the heartbreak of her fourteen-year-old daughter’s death to growing up amid the 1960s counterculture that introduced her to mysticism to her self-made spiritual practice of today.

"What would it be like to see all as one?" Alan Watts asks. "We hear about attaining great states of consciousness. But the only way to have a real transformation is to stop thinking about it - and simply experience it." From the 1950s to the 1970s, this seminal teacher sparked the West's love for Eastern wisdom. Now, in these rare recorded gems, he inspires a new generation of inner explorers seeking deeper insights into meditation - its myriad forms, how they work, and what happens when we practice them.

First introduction to Eckhart
I liked Eckhart’s reading and message in the Essential Meditations Audible performance. I listen to the night meditations when I am over thinking and find the quiet spaces help me fall asleep. I don’t like the chime, but it does help separate the chapters. This was the first book I have listened to where the concepts of presence and universal life energy was explained. I had used meditation apps and the Headspace videos but felt Eckhart hypnotized me and detailed what these terms meant and why they matter.
