I have been glued to the live webcast class with Oprah and Eckhart Tolle for the past three weeks.  It is two of my favorite hours of the week.  Being reminded on how to live better and easier with friends, family, colleagues and ourselves is such a gift from Eckhart and Oprah, especially the part about not being reactive to your own or other’s words and being present in the moment.(not thinking about past or future)

Eckhart’s favorite words, ‘be present’ in each moment as you live your day, are now mine as well.  His face pops up in front of me if I start thinking about the future or judging myself or others.  It hasn’t been easy in the last few weeks with the the NY Spitzer scandal or Jeremiah Wright’s(Obama’s pastor) negative rants -a little scary if I forget Eckhart’s words.

Its heart warming to hear Oprah speaking with Eckhart as I listen to her questions.  She’s so transparent that its bound to help those who are new to Eckhart’s words. It definitely helps me.  Get your 30 day free trial to XM Radio so you can listen to a repeat of the show and hear another spiritual wonder, Elizabeth Lesser, answer more questions after the webcast.(Oprah is usually there with her).

So Eckhart and Oprah, what do you think about his questions?

In my last post, Eckhart Tolle & Oprah-News About ‘A New Earth’ Chapters 3/4, I mentioned that every Monday night following Oprah & Tolle’s live webcast class, the discussion continues with spiritual teacher and Omega co-founder, Elizabeth Lesser. 

Lesser takes calls and questions live.  If you miss it, the show repeats daily on  Oprah & Friends XM Radio channel. Here is Oprah & Friend’s schedule.  You can see that ‘A New Earth Web Event’ repeats daily at different times and Elizabeth Lesser follows the Oprah & Tolle class.

Who is Elizabeth Lesser…I took a class with Elizabeth Lesser at Omega Institute where she took us on a beautiful meditation toward ‘our passing’-death.  I was so mesmerized by her soft, clear and loving energy that I went up after class and told her that my dream would be to have her close by at the moment of death. 

I don’t want this to sound morose.  It was such a beautiful experience that I felt much calmer about the prospect of death.  So I was smitten by this wonder of a woman and now Oprah is introducing her to the global community.  How fortunate for all of us!

More on Eckhart Tolle & Oprah-News About ‘A New Earth’ Chapters 3/4

Eckhart Tolle, in "A New Earth", writes that the ego is responsible for negative past or future stories racing around in our heads.  When we are anxious or fearful, it is also the ego(thoughts we are thinking). 

Tolle suggests that conscious breathing will take us out of our head and into our body.  See the Chapter 2 video at Oprah.com where Tolle shows Oprah how to use breathing as one way to feel the inner body.

Tolle writes:

More on Eckhart Tolle- Breathing Helps You To Be Present

Eckhart Tolle speaks about conscious breathing to help you stay present in your life instead of being in a state where your mind never stops racing.

If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe correctly. From my own experience and from working with patients, I have come to believe that proper breathing is the master key to good health.
- Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Natural Health, Natural Medicine

When you focus on slow conscious breathing, you take in much more oxygen which helps the cells in your body work more efficiently. Most of our breathing is too shallow and we lose the benefits of getting a good dose of oxygen.

Take longer to breathe out and you will take more oxygen in on the next breath. 

Here’s how you do it: 

More on Conscious Breathing-More Than A Health Benefit

Eckhart Tolle had his San Raphael Live Event.  I saw it on streaming video.  It was truly living in the moment…not one moment of multitasking.  You can still see him in streaming video on the internet until April 6.

Here’s Steve’s impressions after seeing Eckhart Tolle live.  

Our primary purpose in life is to be present in every moment. Even drinking a glass of water can be a sacred experience. Becoming conscious is not about what we do but the state of presence in which we do it.

Oprah issued a few statements  concerning last Monday’s first online class asking everyone who is signed up to come early to the second class, next Monday night.  They may have to limit the number of participants if the video quality starts to deteriorate again.  So take your seats EARLY! 

Most people that I know watched a half hour or at least captured a decent 15 or 20 minutes with Tolle and Oprah but after that the video faded in and out for the duration of the webcast.  Some recalled that their screen went blank altogether.  "It was very frustrating watching the connection fade in and out for 60 minutes- much easier to shut the video off altogether."

But then the next day was perfect watching the 90 minutes in peace, all worth waiting for.  Oprah asked Tolle very relevant questions.  Her personal involvement in creating global consciousness was obvious.  If you’re interested,  there are groups online and phone for discussions about A New Earth and the classes.  Click the contact in the navigation bar if interested.

Eckhart Tolle was on my mind because of his upcoming live web event with Oprah that starts on March 3rd and another live internet event Discover & Living Your True Purpose, taking place on March 7th-8th(in your home right on your computer).  So I wanted to remind you.

As I googled Eckhart Tolle, I came across a wise woman who was deeply affected by Tolle’s book, "The Power of Now" and then by a retreat with Tolle at Omega Institute. 

So now I want to talk about this spiritually evolved grand lady, Alice Gardner who herself authored a new book, "Life Beyond Belief, Everyday Living as Spiritual Practice".  She wrote the book after her experience with Eckhart Tolle.

About her experience before and after meeting Eckhart Tolle, Alice writes

I somehow figured out in the year 2001 that I was always in either the past or the future, and wasn’t really very much in the present at all. Because that didn’t seem like a good thing, I searched "living in the present" at amazon.com. Up came "The Power of Now"

Who is Eve Ensler and what has she done for women through "The Vagina Monologues" and launching the V-Day project to end violence against women around the world.

David Cuthbert writes about Eve Ensler and "The Vagina Monologues":

When playwright Eve Ensler first performed "The Vagina Monologues" in 1996 at a small downtown New York performing space called The HERE Theater, "There were maybe 50 people in the audience," she said.

Meredith Vieira on the Today Show interviewed Eve Ensler and Jane Fonda on the Vagina Monologues and V-Day.

Get ready to be awakened! Oprah and best selling author Eckhart Tolle("Power of Now") will teach an exclusive online ‘free’ class by LIVE webcast next month.  How can  anyone miss this amazing event.  I’ve been reading and listening to him on You Tube and just as he reminds us, it’s not the ‘facts of the words’ that bring people back to listen to him over and over again.  Tolle says words have an energetic quality and its this energy that draws people to him.

Eckhart Tolle’s book description of A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose: 

In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are—which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are — and learn to live and breathe freely.

You can find all the  details of the LIVE webcast held on Oprah’s site as well as information to sign up for the online class.
