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

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?The Shfit - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

[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.”

Check out Dr. Wayne W. Dyer’s first feature film—“The Shift!”

I’ve been applying Andrea’s 3 C Rule for the past few weeks and notice quite a change in my physical appearance and energy level. I’m not a total junk food eater. I just eat it every now and then when I am out because the foods available at the moment aren’t necessary the healthiest. Come on…you know that restaurant foods aren’t made to be healthy…they are made to tickle your nose of its deliciousness. So yes, I do crack every now and then when faced with a tempting dish of gourmet restaurant meal drenched in god knows what. The rule of thumb is try not to leave your house with an empty stomach. It’s just so much tougher to resist the temptations.

Anyhow enough about restaurant meals, you know that stubborn love handle, well…with the 3 C Rule it slides off more easily instead of me just doing series of crunches alone to fight it. And most importantly, I can feel my stomach area. No longer is it like a solid concrete area that I have little sensation of; I can feel my tummy as it processes the food I just devour. Instead of my stomach feeling heavy like a stone and me feeling sluggish, my body is more in tune and I feel so much more energize throughout the day. But, the down side is the process is not instant. The changes are gradual.

For those of you who don’t know about her ‘3 C Rule’, it basically means Count Chemical not Calories. I even posted a video on my earlier blog with Andrea going over more in detail about chemicals in our food. Here’s the link The Weight Loss Secret in case you haven’t seen it.

Andrea Albright explains how the food and diet industry made us believe counting calories is the way to eat healthy but she exposes that it is just a marketing technique to get us to buy more stuff that we probably don’t need. On top of that, you could be stuff but still hungry.

She talks about this ‘3 C Rule’ (which I think is half of the solution to our weight dilemma). This is one of the techniques that help her lost the weight she wanted and kept it off.

Watch this video as she exposes the ugly truth about chemicals in your food and how to use the 3 C Rule. Click Here to Watch Andrea Albright Expose the Ugly Truth About Chemicals & Reveal Her 3 C Rule Solution.

Are you poisoning your body? Making your body fat without knowing it? Andrea reveals the harms processed food does to your body. This is a valuable video with tons of information that really helps me see the danger of preservatives and chemicals added to my food that aren’t servicing me. For example, the preservatives are meant to extend the shelf life of the product. And our body is meant to digest the food we eat, not store it. This cause many problems for our body like digestive issues and bad food that just gets stuck in our system unable to flush out like normal natural organic food; thus, making us bigger and fatter!
