The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle

After countless referrals and recommendations I was drawn to this book and figured it must be so rich of goodness, meaning and spiritual learning’s that I simply must read it. It was a challenging read as there is simply so much depth to his messages you simply have to mull over each of his teachings paragraph after paragraph. Yet the message is simple and I can see why the book has reached so many people and had such great impact on so many lives.

While the concept of the power of now or living in the now may not be new or may even be viewed as simple, Tolle packs this books with messages, teachings and inspirational ideas that will sure make you question your everything to a higher and more spiritual level. This is not a religious book although at times I did question it.

It is often not until people have near death experiences or even put on the count down to the end that then do they start truly living in the now. Tolle’s message is just that, to live in the now is the greatest path to happiness, enlightenment and a fulfilled purpose in life.

We so often get wound up, worried, concerned, stressed, anxious, you name it, all those negative emotions that make us forget everything we have right now causing us to miss great opportunities and experiences that life presents to us every moment of everyday.

Obviously a very passionate topic for Tolle and the enthusiastic insight he shares allows you to be absorbed into a new way of living, and that is in the present. He walks us through subjects like the falsely created self, the creative use of our mind, the impermanence in all life, and the battle with our ego and in doing so bringing us to a higher awareness of our eternal life and in touch with our inner body.

A great read and I will have to get the audible book and visit his messages again but certainly I have noticed an immediate change to my thoughts and emotions to assist me in living a life of peace and happiness. Practice is ongoing.
