Thank you for sharing, Seongsook. I really appreciate it, especially that you took the time to share an inspiring quote

I haven’t read any book by Eckhart Tolle yet. I believe that a person always has the power to overcome or leave an unsatisfactory or intolerable situation (unless his freedom is hindered). However, I do not resonate with the word “surrender”. I believe it demands a lot of power. As I see it (and needless to say everyone sees things differently), to give ourselves permission to simply be is an active deed and not a passive surrender.

Hi, I recently discovered your blog and have been going through the archives. I am thrilled that you are going to be posting again.

What helps me when lifes happenings take over is deep breathing, yoga or meditation (even if it is for only a few minutes) and a nice cup of soothing tea.

thanks for coming back!!

Hi, good to hear from you. Although I am new here, I’d like to share what helps me. When life happens, I remember the following that Eckhart Tolle wrote in his book, The Power of Now.

“If you find your life situation unsatisfactory or even intolerable, it is only by surrendering first that you can break the unconscious resistance pattern that perpetuates that situation.

Surrender is perfectly compatible with taking action, initiating change, or achieving goals. But in the surrendered state a totally different energy, a different quality, flows into your doing. Surrender reconnects you with the source-energy of Being, and if your doing is infused with Being, it becomes a joyful celebration of life energy that takes you more deeply into the Now.”

Look forward to seeing your Inspiration Prompt often.

And I need to remind myself to stay commited and focused and inspired… my girls went back to school today which was happy but also a bit distressing. I am glad I will “meet ” with you again 3 times a week. Plese share about the workshop.
