INSPIRATION #3 A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle


If there is ever a book I wish everybody could read, this would be it: A New Earth, written by the spiritual teacher Eckhart tolle. I have read it three times and each times it is full of enlightened moments, new insights and epiphanies... It is the kind of book you can keep by your bedside and refer to at anytime for a quick beautiful fix of purity.

A New Earth maps out the human psyche and explains the hold of the ego on us (the continues rant in your head) and how we can free ourselves from the ego, by practicing present moment awareness and eventually make the leap into a higher state of consciousness, which Eckhart Tolle sees as the only direction for human evolution if it is not to destroy itself... and don't worry he says the world will continue even if the human race don't.

But hey we are here to make sure we do make it in good style, so lets all join in good faith and take that evolutionary step one for all and all for one!



The beautiful thing about the book is that it is written from a higher state of consciousness, from a state of enlightened clarity, so even just reading it makes you feel connected to that part of your soul longing to break free of the confinement of your limited and rather annoying egoic frame of mind.

I got introduced to the book by a friend who was reading the book and watching the first ever live skype workshop on Oprah.com - Oprah was basically interviewing Eckhart about each chapter, and everyone who joined the workshop could pose questions directly to Eckhart via skype. So exciting! So I quickly got on board and started watching the episodes online... available on podcasts here!

There is no doubt that this book has changed my life. I want to thank Eckhart from the bottom of my soul for making this knowledge available to humanity. This is an important part of the awakening of the human spirit. Ahead lies an exciting and new earth. I feel blessed and honored to be around at this time in history to take part in making a better world.


I've also had the pleasure of reading The Power of Now, Practicing the Power of Now and Stillness Speaks which are all brilliant reading, but to me A New Earth stands out as the light tower that will guide this sinking ship to land.

Me and my husband also went to a talk by Kim Eng, in london a few years ago. She was a remarkable speaker with a powerful and very sweet energy. Kim Eng has produced some great yoga and meditation cds you can also enjoy including Meditations for a New Earth and Qi Flow Yoga (Presence Through Movement)
