Realizing The Power of Now – My Ode to Eckhart Tolle

Aug.26, 2009

It was 3 years ago, my father had recently passed away, I was at his funeral and experiencing one of the most spiritual connections I had ever felt. I felt what is called “Peace That Surpasses All Understanding,” for it didn’t make logical sense that I would feel so much comfort and joy on a cellular level after my most beloved father had left this world forever.

Shortly after I remember feeling as if I was so close and yet so far from reaching enlightenment. I was so close to knowing what I needed to know to start living life, to start enjoying my life. I had read hundreds of books, attended several self-help seminars, workshops, and events. And yet I always felt an inner desire for more. No matter how amazing my previous experience was or how much I had learned, I still felt an internal deficiency. During this inner longing one of my friends recommended I read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I quickly delved into it, not knowing what journey lay ahead of me.

As soon as I finished reading I felt a distinct knowing that this was it. This is what I had been searching for all along and I no longer needed to search. All knowledge was already inside of me and I didn’t need books anymore. Sure I would read and learn and grow but the feeling of needing to get somewhere or not knowing enough fell away. I remember that night I cried out of gratitude for the peace that had returned to my soul.

Now 3 years later I am revisiting the sacred and profound teachings of Eckhart Tolle and re-realizing my inherit perfection and connection to source. So today I give my ode to Eckhart Tolle. I am grateful for his ability and willingness to share this message to the world. Below I have listed some of my favorite quotes from The Power of Now…

“Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have material wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love, while they have a treasure within that not only includes all those things but is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.”

“Intellectual agreement is just another belief and won’t make much difference to your life. To realize this truth, you need to live it. When every cell of your body is so present that it feels vibrant with life, and when you can feel that life every moment as the joy of Being, then it can be said that you are free of time.”

“All you really need to do is accept this moment fully. You are then at ease in the here and now and at ease with yourself.”

“Your outer journey may contain a million steps; your inner journey only has one: the step you are taking right now. As you become more deeply aware of this one step, you realize that it already contains within itself all the other steps as well as the destination. This one step then becomes transformed into an expression of perfection, an act of great beauty and quality. It will have taken you into Being, and the light of Being will shine through it. This is both the purpose and the fulfillment of your inner journey, the journey into yourself.”

If Eckhart Tolle has touched you too, I encourage you to add your own favorite The Power of Now quote below and give gratitude for the teachings Eckhart Tolle has brought to millions! I look forward to your comments:)

Feeling Juicy – The Foundation Of Success

Aug.03, 2009

Did you know that FEELING JUICY is the most important ingredient for your success? You don’t believe me? Well, read on to find out why feeling good is the corner stone of health, wealth, love, and happiness…

It’s all a simple matter of like attracts like. When we feel good, we invite positive people, places, and events to come into our life. It is very difficult, for example, for a negative complaining person to be around a happy smiley person. They just don’t vibe on the same level. Healthy people are full of life and energy and wealthy people are usually passionate about what they do. If a=b then b=a. If to be healthy, wealthy, and loved means being happy and following your bliss, then choosing to be happy and follow your bliss means you will be healthy, wealthy, and loved. This is why some of my most important breakthroughs in my career and life have been after I did something that made me feel alive, grounded, loved, and happy! When we make pleasure a daily priority we keep ourselves inspired and powerful. It works even better for me when I only take action while I am feeling turned on and tuned in. Anything I do from that space always produces AMAZING results! On the other hand, anything I do when I am feeling grumpy or forced turns out less than ideal to say the least;)

So today I recommend we all make a list of about 10 things that turn us on and make us smile. Then everyday do at least one thing on our list. I look at this as a daily vitamin, a daily dose of pleasure to keep us fine tuned and at our peak. For me, I love to get massages, take walks outside, enjoy warm baths and showers, read good books, eat delicious nutritious food, play with friends, do yoga or belly dancing, cuddle with my man, write in my journal, and live in a clean home.

When we pay attention to what delights us and excites us, we stay in touch with our passion, intuition, and strengthen our love for ourselves and our world! When we live in a state of pleasure we remain open and receptive to new and fun possibilities. Miracles tend to flow into our lives quickly and easily. And once we fill ourselves up with joy we will have more than enough to give to others. And this, my friend, is the basis of all attraction marketing! Remember, when every day is play, you will never work another day!

Please leave a comment below letting me know the top ten things that rejuvenate and inspire you. I bet you have some great ideas!! Oh, and please share today’s post with your followers on twitter and facebook to help spread the word that self-love and feeling juicy is truly the foundation to our success.

Live in Bliss,
