Has anyone read "The Power of Now, A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle? Or listen to Oprah's Supersoul Conversation podcast? I must say, it's been a blessing for me to have experienced both of these!

Eckhart's book "A New Earth", is truely one of the best books ever! He teaches how to transform the way we think. How important it is to be in the Now!!! We shouldn't worry about our past nor our future as it is completely out of our control! This is definitely something that does take time and practice to learn. But, it can be done! Especially with his teachings!

There's a site you can download it at audiable.ca https://ebookscart.com/a-new-earth-by-eckhart-tolle-epub-dow... or buy it on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Eckhart-Tolle/e/B001H6GZ5K%3Fref=dbs_...

I first heard about Eckhart on Oprah's Super Soul conversation podcast! She interviews the most amazing influential people. It's very heart warming, fun, and entertaining! You will learn a lot about people's life situations that we can all relate to or understand in some way.

Oprah's podcast can be found on the i heart radio app if you don't already have it! It's amazing and it's ALWAYS my go to when I'm having a hard day and I need inspiration. There's always something to learn from every single guest she interviews. It's a definite app to download. Here's a link to the podcast https://www.iheart.com/podcast/649-oprahs-supersoul-conversa...

I highly recommend Eckart's A New Earth book and Oprah's Super Soul podcast to anyone that feels like they need some true inspiration or help to just how to feel better!

If you've experienced either of these, please like and leave a comment below. I'd love to know what you think!

Here's to a fantasic week of inspiration to all of you!!!


Cheers!!!

Hi, Mirzy

I don't think I can live outside the NOW. 8-))

I was told that when we have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, we pee on today. lol It is so easy to live on tomorrow, including the anxiety we collect for comfort??? Or in the past over regrets that we will never understand. So, the most comfortable place to exist is in the Now. Lady Gaga sings, "I pray to make the worst seem better". I am captivated knowing we can think anything we want to think. Bruce Cockburn sings, "we need poets to see new selves and experiences." Whenever we humans use our consciousness, we create a new tomorrow with every decision we make today. I'm not sure that is the best of all positive worlds. Dr. Jeff

Love this!

Lady Gaga was just on Oprah's Supersoul recently. Very inspirational!!!

I am learning to live in the now as much as possible and getting better every day! I like being "in the now" moment. I can focus on being more productive and feel happier because there's no worry. I used to worry most about the future but we can't predict that.

Thanks to Eckhart's teachings! I wouldn't have known otherwise!

I am very thankful:)))

Hey Mirzy:
.
Yea, I'm somewhat familar with the Oprah. Never heard of Eckhart nor his book. Not to say this all ain't greatly helpful material, yet I've disagreements.
.
For example;
"We shouldn't worry about our past nor our future as it is completely out of our control". I'm getting you've gotten this via Oprah or Eckhart. I agree our past is like a cashed check, it is gone & is now history. Not changeable.
Yet "our future as it is completely out of our control"? Then what are you / we doing here within WA? Thinking we can change our future? What a bunch of nut-sos to think such a thing. Change a future. Geeeze!
.
Soul surgery is an extremely dangerous arena to "play" within. Extremely dangerous for the one being cut open.
And I'm stating that soul surgery is painful for the one under the knife. There are counterfit teachings & implementations of out there. I've seen them. I've talked to people who've been under such a knife. In reality, a crazy mindset could be released whereby the individual has NO concept & NO identity except for that state which was uncovered or brought forth. Serioiusly.
.
Yes, soul surgery works. And works wonders. Yet such takes a trained skill that a multi-billionaire TV personality book sales empire just doesn't walk into & declare she's qualified.
The brain is one thing. An organ just like the heart or the liver or the skin. Yet it is the brain somehow connecting the soul to the 5 physical senses we live as reality. And connects the 5 physical senses to the soul. All this goes way deeper, yet WA ain't a psych ward and why I only lightly touch on this tremendously deep topic.
.
Sure, such things counterfeit work. In the least they appear to work or work in-part. And perhaps in reality, they are simply covering over what it is that needs to be removed for the true healing to take place. Masking over so to be able to function for a few more days / months / years. It's what aspirin & the meds are for, right? To cover over, to mask the symptoms so to function within today's acceptable society?
To the point -soul surgery is character adjustment. Mess with someone's character without their permission & they will bite your head off.
Just say'n, Mirzy.

I appreciate your comment!

For me, I used to worry a lot about the future too much. Now if I focus on the moment, like right now, just typing on the computer, instead of what I need to do tomorrow necessarily, I can be a lot more productive. That's just how I'm learning to become more productive in my life. I believe learning this technique has helped me focus on what I need to do right now for a better future.

I know we may not agree and I totally understand! I just wanted to share how this has made a positive impact in my life:)

All the best Jim:)

Hi Mirzy:
I woke up this morning with finding you on my mind.
I could not find you so I quickly created a post asking for help so to locate you. Let me explain.
The comment I posted yesterday, well I wrote a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff that was overboard. So I apologize, Mirzy.
And now after reading your response, I really do agree with you. I do not disagree nor did I disagree in that comment I'd made earlier, that you'd commented on. I just went off on a tangent because the topic is dear to my heart. I understand what it can do & has done. {{After I get my long bio completed -working on the website- I'll send you an invite to look it over & comment, if you'd like. I'd find it difficult to expose & a huge reason I've not advanced within WA through these years.}}
And Mirzy, I too was soooo consumed with "tomorrow" that my focus on the now was nearly non-existant. And before I'd know it, the sun had set & it was getting closer & closer to the time that I should be going to sleep. But how could I go to sleep? I did not get anything done! And these days would just repeat & repeat & repeat & . . .
So Mirzy, all the very best to you. I know you'll get it done. I know you'll have that focus & will be able to develop it through our time here. I know that time is our friend in that it allows for us to do &/or be what we could not yesterday. So how do I see tomorrow? Like a trust fund full of time. Time alloted to me to use as I please.
.

I just saw this! Sorry for the delay!! We get so many emails, it's easy to miss some of them...

I understand! I'd love to look over your website! Let me know anytime for sure😁

I'm glad you are doing well! I am now following you, so it will be easier to find each other at WA!

I appreciate your comment and you got this my friend ❤😁

Miranda😊

Hi Miranda:
Yea, I know what you're talking about with the "too many e-mails". Definately understand.
Well thank you, Miranda. I'll PM it to you.
The site is not fully up, only doing it as I go along within the trainings that Kyle (& Carson) have developed & put together for us. The purpose for being here.
.
Last night or way early morning, I bought a domain from the Site Domain here in Wealthy Affiliate. Great deal, Miranda. Not just the domain, also the privacy & e-mail address are included.
And so I activated the domain & clicked on the button so to transfer my website onto this new domain. Now Google is gonna rock with it. And now I gotta get my act better together & copy write articles for to publish within the site. Then I gotta . . .
.
I'll PM you the site address.
It is in my WA bio too -"long version".
Miranda, best to you & yours,
JIm

Sounds great!!

As a tennis player, I am acquainted with "the now", advanced by Billie Jean King and others. We are by ourselves and coaching is not permitted during a match. Our thoughts tend to wander. We may think continually about a set, game or point that we lost. Or we may begin to think about how to celebrate a win that has not yet happened. Either mode of thought is destructive. Our only thought should be something simple as a point begins - our footwork, racquet back immediately, bent knees and the like
But only one simple thing, no more. We are on automatic pilot, with no need for emotion or complication. (Practice is different)

Richard

Very interesting Richard!

I've played tennis, but just for fun. This makes total sense that in order to play the game well, it's very important to focus on exactly what needs to be done at the moment!

All the best to you and thank you so much for taking time out to reply to my post:)


The power of now pushes us to do as much as we can and take notice of everything around, enjoy the things we have and the places we see, the joy of living and how blessed we are, in spite of everything.
