‘Tis the season to be JOLLY….

LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH every chance you have and enjoy your best Christmas EVER!

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:)
