This is a wonderful companion to "The Power of Now" as well as other Tolle books. So much is explained and made crystal clear. I also appreciated the exercises that are included. While they were in Tolle books, it's a real plus to have them all here in one book. You can take them in order and use them on a daily basis. Also, Parr touches on other religions as does Tolle, and brings out some real pearls of wisdom. This is a beautifully written little book and will add a great deal to appreciating Tolle's other books. Besides calling its self a workbook, I really believe it could stand completely alone without having read anything else. Get this book, it will bring you a wonderful sense of well being and enlightenment.
I would say this book is 100% aligned with the works of Eckhart Tolle. It's purpose is to offer insight and practical exercises to help the reader to understand how to interupt the constant 'chatter' of his/her mind. The goal is help them find a degree of inner peace, and a feeling 'connectedness' with the universe. The book is enjoyable and easy to read, and it helps in consolidating the ideas expressed by Eckhart and others. The difficult bit, of course, is finding the time and the concentration to do the excercises.
Eckhart Tolle has been my âspiritual guideâ ever since I read âThe Power of Nowâ back in 2009. He always says enlightenment is accomplished by degrees. And these different degrees are explained in detail in this revealing workbook, written by his experienced disciple, A.J. Parr. He also explains the historical origins of the voice in our head and Illusion, and presents a selection of exercises based on Tolle's instructions as well as on Hindu and Buddhist practices that serve to recognize the ego and the Self, to slow down the inner chatter, and to free ourselves from Illusion or âMayaâ, and experience the Now. I truly recommend it.
I loved this eBook! Together with âThe Power of Nowâ, âA New Earthâ, and âStillness Speaksâ (my three favorite books in the whole world), the simple exercises presented in this 200-page workbook include several âancient techniquesâ that will certainly help you observe our thoughts, slow down your inner chat and experience the present moment. I give it five stars!
I'm enjoying being in the present. I recommend this. Eckhart is one of those who makes sence, at the same time you are having to come to the present reading it second by second..Overall a Good Read, leaves you positive and catches you negative in any situation you grab your mind to be present..Takes an effort, but explained well. It's a book to keep going over, that is why they made this book to teach you some techniques, Its a book that you will have to decide on your own..
So far so good. In the middle of reading it and I just can't put it down, only started reading it this morning but darn it I had to come to work. Very inspiring!!!
Very good overview and description of Tolle's message. Really enjoyed it and I plan on reading it a second time. The methods work! My only criticism is the author/publisher should carefully proofread. Cheers.
I FOUND THIS VERY USEFUL. THERE ARE SEVERAL STRATEGIES THAT ARE EFFECTIVE IN KEEPING OUT THE INCESSANT MIND CHATTER.
