'A New Earth' ~ 'The Power of Now'
Hello friends ~ living in the present moment is something I've been trying to practice for near on 20 years now! I'm a slow learner! lol!http://her2support.org/vbulletin/ima...ons/icon10.gif
It is something that has become increasingly important to me and now that this breast cancer has returned I'm realising more how essential it is for me. Anyways I thought I'd share with you something that is free and I reckon pretty amazing ~ about learning to live here and now and let go of all our ego based thoughts which can keep us trapped. Eckhart Tolle (who wrote 'The Power of Now' and Oprah Winfrey are doing 'webinars' which are on every Monday night and are free to download from her website www.oprah.com It's really helping me to live in and enjoy the present moment. I guess my 'ah-hah' moments have come when I have experienced that time expands when I am living in the now ~ for me it all comes down to precious time with my beautiful bubs. Perhaps you will find it useful too. If you would like to check it out you can go to: http://www.oprah.com/obc_classic/webcast/oprah_anewearth_main.jsp I think they ask you to join Oprah's book club, but that is easy enough. From Eckhart's invitation: I invite you to join Oprah and myself in our weekly online sessions. We will be studyingA New Earth, but not as an academic subject or in order to acquire new theories or beliefs. Our aim is to explore through the teachings of the book the most important question you can ask: What is the purpose of my life and how do I fulfill that purpose? It will be a course in self-exploration and awakening. It will help you see what the dysfunctional patterns are within yourself that create unnecessary conflict and suffering and prevent you from finding true fulfillment. Hopefully, it will also help you access a dimension within yourself that perhaps you didn't know existed or only caught glimpses of on rare occasions. Don't be trapped for the rest of your life within the narrow confines of your personal history and your conditioned personality and allow your life to be transformed from within, through the power of consciousness itself.— Eckhart Tolle Anyways - just sharing folks - hope thats OK. It maybe helpful to someone. Blessings all ~ for the journey. Hermiracles. |
Thanks for sharing what you've learned "hermiracles." I don't know much about the book "The New Earth" but do know about "living in the moment." I agree with you - it is hard to do but so incredibly essential in enjoying this journey we are on. Since breast cancer touched me it is something I try to practice as well. Each day when I rise, I thank my God for "today." I ask Him to help me "live for today" and to not borrow trouble from tomorrow. I mean really, do any of us know if tomorrow will come anyway? No, we don't. So, I try to enjoy each and every minute of the day we call "today." It truly does make for a happier, more content day.
Thanks "hermiracles" and I LOVE your little miracles. They are precious - just like you. Blessings of Peace for the day.... Mary Jo |
True Mary Jo - thanks for sharing.
There's that saying "God doesn't live in the future or the past ~ only in today. That's why they call it the 'present'" http://her2support.org/vbulletin/ima...ons/icon10.gif I like that. Thanks sis. Blessings Hermiracles |

Living in the "now " is important, but as you have mentioned a hard concept to achieve. I pray, like Mary Jo for this everyday.
Thanks for the reminder. Karen |
