Summary

What is the most essential trait for an effective healer or teacher? Intelligence, skill, and compassion are important, explains Eckhart Tolle, but without presence, our work in service of others falls short of its potential.

Practicing Presence is a retreat for health practitioners, educators, spiritual teachers—or anyone who shares wisdom—offering more than seven hours of Eckhart’s practical advice for those fostering transformation in others.

Covering a wide range of challenges and concerns specific to the helping professions, Eckhart discusses:

  • Rooting one’s work in stillness to become “a teacher of presence.”
  • Finding the balance between structure and formlessness in your teaching or healing modality.
  • The question of readiness for the would-be teacher or healer.
  • Financial considerations and the inherent egoic risks of charging money for services.

“To be there as nobody special—simply as a field of awareness—that’s the essence of being a successful healer or teacher,” explains Eckhart. For anyone working to support the well-being of others, Practicing Presence brings you an empowering series of pointers and guidelines for lasting transformation and healing.

Please note that due to the environment in which these talks were recorded, the listener may notice some extraneous noise or hiss. This should not significantly affect the overall delivery of Eckhart's teaching.

Excellent

Depends on how well you can look inside yourself, I found this book intresting & helpful.
Tolle talks alot from his experiences which I find extremely intresting, not all of the theory's are actually scientifically proven but I would agree with most of his theories.

Powerful, uplifting and thought provoking.

This is my 5th or 6th book of Eckhart's, having started with The Power of Now. I was hoping that it wouldn't be repetitive and just rehashing what's already been said and I'm not disappointed at all. I had several more 'a-ha' moments with Practicing Presence and it's really helping me to bring what I connect with during meditation and quieter periods into my interactions and more frantic parts of life.
Thankyou Eckhart you really are a prophet of our times, I'm going straight back to the start now as I enjoyed it so much!
