  • Essential Teachings Special: Discovering Our True Nature
    Feb 12 2026

    Originally aired May 26, 2022. In this podcast Eckhart talks about our dependence on people, places, things and concepts as the source of our identity. He says most of us derive a sense of self from our attachments. He believes the essence of who we truly are is much deeper. Eckhart calls it the alive stillness at the center of our being. Once we become aware of it, our attachment to external things fades and we discover our true nature. Eckhart illustrates this idea with the story of a Buddhist monk who sought to release worldly things. His difficulties were great, until he let go absolutely.

  • Essential Teachings Special: Transcending The Self
    Feb 5 2026

    Originally aired May 19, 2022. In this episode, Eckhart reflects on his signature teaching about being aware of the present moment. He says when we focus on the here and now our senses become heightened. Eckhart says when we give any experience our full attention, we are taking the first step towards what he calls “self-transcendence.” He explains why we need to release our limited perceptions and connect with the aliveness of the universe.

This is a wonderful reminder of what matters in life. As someone who doesn't prioritise spirituality in their life, this is a great way to vaguely keep a connection to this part of my life, through someone who is totally connected.

Always insightful
