Talk by Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart Tolle is one of my favorite figures in today’s mindfulness world — direct, honest, humorous, even impish at times. His book A New Earth is one of those that I read over and over again. This excerpt is more of an informal talk than a meditation -- indeed, he doesn’t often give very specific meditation instructions. I suggest that after starting out, you move away from the computer and just listen to it, in a comfortable position, with eyes closed, for as long as you wish -- the talk is about 35 minutes but any segment of it can be very nourishing.
