Unleash the Authentic Woman in You – Faey Szeuw

Watch this clip from Eckhart Tolle as he speaks about the pain body. And how it seduces you and keep you unconscious in your own drama.

What is a pain body?

Here is Eckhart’s very own definition right off from his book, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment.

As long as you are unable to access the power of Now, every emotional pain that you experience leaves behind a residue of pain that lives on in you. It merges with the pain from the past, which was already there, and becomes lodged in your mind and body. This, of course, includes the pain you suffered as a child, caused by the unconsciousness of the world into which you were born.

This accumulated pain is a negative energy field that occupies your body and mind. If you look on it as an invisible entity in its own right, you are getting quite close to the truth. It’s the emotional pain-body. It has two modes of being: dormant and active. A pain-body may be dormant 90 percent of the time; in a deeply unhappy person, though, it may be active up to 100 percent of the time. Some people live almost entirely through their pain-body, while others may experience it only in certain situations, such as intimate relationships, or situations linked with past loss or abandonment, physical or emotional hurt, and so on. Anything can trigger it, particularly if it resonates with a pain pattern from your past. When it is ready to awaken from its dormant stage, even a thought or an innocent remark made by someone close to you can activate it. (pages 29 & 30)

Found this neat interview of Eckhart Tolle with George Stroumboulopoulos. If you still haven’t heard of Eckhart and his teachings…this is the video clip to watch.

Eckhart talks about the moment of separation he experienced that rid him of his unhappy self  and his story.  How that anxiety night attack made him  realize…he’s the consciousness behind the “I”. This shift of consciousness –the awakening… allowed him to reach a deep peace within.

Listen to this spiritual teacher as he shares how your life is always ‘this moment’ and what prevents you from being in the NOW.

Eckhart Tolle – is considered one of the world’s most influential spiritual teachers – a master of inner calm and peace. In a nutshell, he teaches that you are not your mind. In fact, Eckhart says, your mind is your worst enemy. It overtakes the real you and creates thoughts that make you miserable. So if you want to achieve peace, you’ve got to disassociate yourself from your mind. The key ? Live in the present. Eckhart sums it all up in his book ‘The Power of Now.’ He wrote it in Vancouver, where he now lives. The book came out in 1997 and has sold more than five million copies, thanks, in large part, to an on-air plug from Oprah. She’s also a big fan of Eckhart’s follow-up book, ‘A New Earth.’  -George Stroumboulopoulos

What does it mean to live a full life? What do you compare it to? How do you gauge it? Will you be lying on your death bed hearing yourself say, “I should have done that when I had the chance 25 years ago?”

My fiancé  and I had just finish watching this movie last night. I highly recommend it for those of you who are into personal and spiritual growth. This is a film of inspiration for people at a crossroads in their life.

What is the SHIFT? What is it about?

[Spoiler Alert] Dr. Wayne Dyer is great. (I didn’t even know who he is until this very movie.) So for those of you who don’t know him, he is an internationally renowned author and spiritual teacher, and speaker in the field of self-development. In this film, he stars as himself — sharing his life experiences and insights. Who knows, you might actually learn a thing or two about yourself while watching it. I certainly got a few ‘ah-ha’ moments.

The movie is beautifully shot on coastal California’s spectacular Monterey Peninsula … and every frame is gorgeous and the characters…I could pretty much relate to them in one way or another. (Except for the homeless black man, that guy — just does not feel like a real homeless man to me, it was just too fake. I think the people making this film really don’t know much about what homeless people’s vibe feels like. They ought to do their research more. Or perhaps, this is one exceptional homeless man?)

The story centers around three main characters’ modern lives in need of new direction and new meaning. For example, Shannon Sturges’s character is an artist but she abandoned her passion to take care of her husband and two boys. She was so busy worrying about others’ needs that she neglected her own true calling. For her, art is the spark that lights up her fire. Yet, she stopped listening to her heart.

Now, how many of you out there know what you love to do but feel you just can’t because for one reason or another, you feel it is not enough or it’s not the appropriate time or place to do so.

For years, even to this very moment…I still cringe a bit when it comes to sharing my artwork (photographs, paintings, drawings, poems, and even these blog writings) with others. Shannon’s character lost touch with her fire, herself, –her spirit.

If you are curious about how she lit her life back up again, then The Shift is definitely on your movie list. Or maybe, you are searching for a more purposeful, soul-directed life. Then this film is worthy of your watching for inspiration, motivation and a spiritual lift. “The Shift not only inspires, but also teaches [you] how to find the path to [your] spiritual purpose and therefore [your] greatest joy.”
