Eckhart Tolle addresses the critical question of whether a person on psychiatric medication can still experience spiritual awakening. He explores the impact of these medications on the awakening process, acknowledging that while medication might obscure awareness in some cases, it is not necessarily true for all. Eckhart Tolle shares personal experiences and observations, highlighting that awareness can still arise even while on medication, depending on various factors such as the type of medication, duration, and the specific psychiatric condition.

Great video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her
I can assure you it does happen!! Lol
What a beautiful Soul! To have the courage to stand up and offer himself as representation for millions of people! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Eckhart… this is so powerful to so many people who feel stigmatised by the Western views on mental illness. ❤ much love. This has made me tear up for the people who have been defined by the harsh labels of Western Countries
Yes there is Opening in awareness 🎉😂
Yes 🎉😂❤
Children often are vey receptive of energies in the home, and channel these energies without being aware of it, so they believe the parents or doctors that tell them they are crazy. That is very sad.
i'm a schizophrenic on antipsychotic medication, i always wanted to ask eckhart if awakening was possible with schizophrenia.. i guess it is… thanks eckhart!
An important discussion. Thank you, Eckhart ❤️
I took gabapentin for years for neuropathic pain. I do know it is used as a psych med. And my mind didn't feel like it was all there. I quit cold turkey after they wanted to up my dose higher than recommended dose. My awakening was accelerated after my mind was clear. EDIT DO NOT QUIT ANY MED COLD TURKEY WITHOUT MEDICAL INTERVENTION! I have medical training so I was able to do it without any major side effect but that is not common
Great answer 👍 very useful
Does Ekhart know about the extreme violence that exists in Tibetan Buddhism and between Indian castes?
Great question and awesome answer!
Sometimes it's difeiciencies in vitamins and minerals. Sometimes it's infections and parasites causing inflammation leading to psychiatric symptoms.
Sometimes no matter how awake or enlightened you are the symptoms will be there unless you address the cause.
It's not always identification with thought that is behind the symptoms
Thank you so much to the questioner and to ET of course!
taking a medication which causes calming down and many sidde effects, this would be a problem to become enlightened.
Awareness is healing. What a wisdom❤
Thank you. A much needed reminder. So grateful
finally I can watch Eckhart ' s videos❤
I love you ❤❤
Thankyou😊💚🙏
A drug is a drug is a drug. They are a hindrance. I have some friends who take meds and some friends who do not on this journey and those who do not take drugs have a higher connection and more success to the awakening process. It can be done either way but completely clean is best.
