Oprah And Eckharte Tolle On Awakening

We’ve been participating in Oprah and Eckhart Tolle’s free web class on his new book, A New Earth; Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose.

As many spiritual teachers do, Tolle talks about
being in the NOW, the Present moment as a way to awaken. He suggests stopping for a moment to sense the “Aliveness” in your body, to sense your hand without moving it, to tune into your essence and become aware of where in your body you have a sense of well-being.

Tolle suggests that tuning into your body and
nature, and feeling their essence — unattached
from past preconceived notions or future desires
about these “things” — is a way to enlightenment.
A way to feel more alive, less dense and bogged
down by heavy thoughts, feelings, demands etc.

We see the awakening process happening at
different levels and speeds everyday in our office.
Everything you are doing here leads you to your
true authentic essence — an awakened state
of consciousness.

What does it mean to you to be "awake"?
