Is it possible for meditation to be utterly effortless? To experience the depths of being in any given moment of our lives-not just while we practice? Not only is it possible, explains Eckhart Tolle, but it is the very way we come to touch the essence of meditation. With Meditation, we join this treasured teacher as he discusses the many methods of meditation and their shared purpose: accessing the richness and power of pure presence.
This illuminating program explores:
– The role of meditation in everyday life
– How to discover “inner space” as a portal to presence
– The traditional art of meditating on an object, including the breath
– “Just sitting” and living in alignment with what is
– The true meaning of acceptance-meditation’s central goal
In its deepest sense, meditation is never a means to an end. It is about fully being and honoring the entire range of our experience-what Eckhart calls “saying yes.” Whether you’re just starting a practice or looking to go deeper than ever before, Meditation offers vital insights for anyone eager to taste the fruits of this revered discipline.
This is a fantasic CD for anyone interested in meditation or learning to meditate. He focuses on keeping your mind in the present moment, and that helps to put a great spin on his genre of meditation. Eckhart Tolle has wonderful insights, and I highly recommend it!
All of life can be our meditation. I always get something new from each of his CDs and just listening to his voice is meditative for me. In this cd, he talks about meditation objects and how we can use the many distractions in our daily lives as opportunities for meditation. My favorite Tolle cd is still Practicing the Power of Now.

Eckhart Tolle has most definitely obtained a level of knowledge and understanding about “life” that all of humanity strives to know. In his normal patient, loving, all-knowing way, he gently explains why he does not define ‘meditation’ in the way most spiritual teachers do. And his logic is so simple and full of common sense that it’s a little crazy to think of all the people who “try hard to meditate” and get frustrated in the process. While he pays great respect to various techniques that have been taught and practiced over thousands of years, and even guides you through the benefits of some of them, he then stays true to his message of just “living in the now” as being the only meditation anyone needs at all. He does an excellent job of explaining how to be the observer of your thoughts rather than…
