The New Earth

Just finished reading (for the second time) The New Earth

The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle 

LOVES IT:  life changing, fantastic, brilliant, start reading it today!

Yes, The New Earth is so insightful and powerful that I had to read it for a second time.  And I am sure that I could read it several more times and get even more out of it.  It is well written and the concepts presented are explained in a way that makes them easy to understand and apply in your own life. 

I am not going to summarize the book…as it would be extremely difficult.  But I thought I would share some of the concepts that I connected with in reading it this time around. 

1.       Live in the NOW.  This means focus on what you are doing and feeling in the Now.  Constantly focusing on the past or the future takes you away from what you are doing and feeling in the Now, which is not good.  (ps. This idea is illustrated by the Alice in Wonderland quote below).

2.      Be Present or conscious.  This means to be Present, physically, emotionally, mentally and spirituality when in engaging with people.  This must happen in the Now. 

3.      Ask yourself “what is my relationship with life? What is my relationship with the Present Moment?”

4.      See and feel the positive/good in your life.  Don’t focus on the negative/bad and do not generate negative feelings…very similar to The Power.

5.      There are 3 responds you can have to any situation you encounter- acceptance, enjoyment or enthusiasm.
