It sounds like you independently discovered mindfulness meditation. Good for you!

  I actually practiced mindfullness meditation with, lets say it, zero results. The method I used is more, like: "love your enemy" or rather "love your pain", or more precisely be aware of the areas of the body which are feeling pain. Negative thoughts are just light energy sparks causing pain within the body. This bodily pain is heavier, more resident energy that could become alive on it's own, even without further thinking. It was really frustrating to me to wake up in the beautiful morning and within 2 seconds feel heavy wave of depression dawning on me again. I didn't even had time to think and was wondering why it is happening to be. Until i realized that depression lives in the body, not in the mind. Once I started paying attention to the body, the depressive thoughts and depressive emotions starts to disappear. This is more what Eckhart Tolle was writing about, albeit without specifics that I added to my practice. As i started to see results - I started having fun with it, like looking for negative emotional reactions within me on different thoughts or situations and then frying and washing these emotions off and away by applying the method.
