Perhaps
you can recall a time when you felt more alive than at any other moment—when
you had a sudden recognition of beauty, a feeling of deep contentment,
and a sense of connection with life greater than you had ever thought
possible. And then, this fleeting moment was gone.
What
if you could recapture that remarkable opening, and make it a consistent
way of living in the world? Throughout Europe and North America, a
man named Eckhart Tolle has emerged as a teacher with the unique ability
to draw us into the awakened state he calls “presence.” With Realizing
the Power of Now: An In-Depth Retreat with Eckhart Tolle, you have
an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the timeless dimension
— “a place within us that always is and ever will be beyond the turmoil
of life, a world of calm beyond words, of joy that has no opposite.”
Return
to Presence — Again and Again
A walk in nature. A personal crisis. A moment of laughter. These can
all serve as “portals” that take us to the depth and wonder of the
Now. But how do we access these portals so that we dwell in presence
more and more often? With Tolle’s guidance, you will discover many
simple ways to leave behind the chaos and suffering of the mind-made
world, and enter this state of serenity and grace. On Realizing the
Power of Now, Eckhart will show you how to go beyond the endless stream
of thoughts, and simply allow whatever is happening to occur ... use
sense perceptions and your “inner body” to find a peace that exists
independent of conditions ... see past “the little me and my story”
and find your home in the “living Now.”
An
Extended Retreat with Eckhart Tolle Since
the spiritual transformation that changed his life more than 20 years
ago, Eckhart Tolle has replaced the park bench where he gave his first
lessons with a chair and microphone, and helped countless men and
women from all walks of life perceive what it really means to be alive.
Recorded at a momentous five-day retreat led by Eckhart Tolle, here
is a special invitation to transcend the finite world of fluctuating
thoughts, ambitions, and fears, and touch your true essence — that
which has “no form, no time, and no name.” Spoken simply, with his
hallmark warmth, humor, and compassion, here is Eckhart’s full presentation
of a beautiful way to live that arises through Realizing the Power
of Now.
