The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

I had been keen to watch this DVD since it appeared on my horizon. I had no expectations although with all the amazing material becoming available on DVD I have become spoilt with amazing production standards.

I found it easy to watch. Deepak narrates well and his voice is easy to listen to. I would have liked to hear more of Olivia’s music in the main feature. Tracks from her last Album Grace and Gratitude are in the special features section.

In each of the Laws I gleaned a pearl of wisdom. Sometimes it was a reminder but often a new way of seeing or considering events in my own life.

When Deepak was talking about the 3rd law – The Law of Giving – there was some dialogue around how when we decline to accept something being offered to us, we stop the flow of energy in the universe for that moment and essentially we are interfering with nature’s intelligence. This got me thinking about all the times I decline an offer of help, often because I don’t want to be a bother, or because I am not present enough to receive with gratitude and thanks. So I have resolved to receive with grace all that is offered to me, knowing that by doing so I am supporting the flow of universal energy.

My recommendation is for you to watch the DVD… maybe get a group of friends together and share your individual experiences with each other.

Oprah and Eckhart Tolle join in a world first

An amazing event happened this week. Oprah joined with Eckhart Tolle to present the first of 10 workshops on A New Earth via the internet. As far as I am aware the concept is the first of its type and about 500,000 people from 139 countries joined Oprah and Eckhart. What a consciousness shifting moment!!
There was no charge to join in, aside from access to the internet and a broadband connection. Many, due to the sheer volume, experienced difficulties watching live, so a podcast of the show is available for viewing or downloading.
When I watched it, I felt a deep gratitude towards both Eckhart and Oprah for opening this life changing material to everyone across the globe. The format was a little stilted to start. I put this down to the newness and from time to time Oprah would exclaim with joy about the experience. Eckhart went many times into the deep presence he holds well and shared many of the teachings from chapter one of A New Earth.
During the session they were able to take questions from the audience via Skype and that added another dimension.
I will certainly be ‘in the classroom’ for the next session – Tuesday 1pm Australian Eastern Summer Time. Why don’t you join me? Here is the link to Oprah’s site for all the sign in information.
