I had read this book a few years back, but I have just re-read it. I have certainly evolved since my last reading.

They say when the student is ready the teacher will appear. Well, when I first read Eckhart’s book – I found the information to be good (not great). I recall trying some of the exercises/suggestions in the book and almost immediately dismissing them.

The truth is … I was not ready for the information. I had certain beliefs that did not allow me to buy into what he was teaching.

I do know that all of your power is in the NOW. The time you have is NOW. The only way to deliberately create your life is NOW.  All of that makes perfect sense.

But that is only part of his message. The part I was not into was the stillness part.

I could not keep my mind quiet for the life of me. Meditation – are you kidding? I cannot even sit still. I have a million of thoughts flying in my head.

Every book or course on mastering the law of attraction talks about quieting the mind or controlling you mind.

Why?   Because you need to walk before you can run.

If you cannot control your mind – the thoughts that you think – then there is not way you can deliberately create the reality you want.

“You either control your mind … or your mind controls you”

Back to “The Power of Now” … thanks to reading a different book, I decided to re-read this book again … and I am still re-reading it again and again and again.

I don’t know how many times you read a book, but I always re-read books that have life altering information. I highlight the text. I read from cover to cover – then I re-read from cover to cover again and again, etc.

Why? Because you forget the information. We all fall back into our habitual way of living. So I re-read to remind myself of a different way. Eventually it sinks in and becomes the new way.

Eckhart’s book, to me, is one of my top 5 books that have influenced my life – has provided me with a life altering way of thinking and living.

I cannot recommend this book enough.

If you own this book – re-read it. Understand it. Apply it. Feel your BEING. Practicing feeling your presence. It is wonderful.

If you do not own this book – get it – if you are ready that is. It has over 1,000 positive reviews on Amazon.

Who would be good to read this book? I would say this book is for anyone who is unhappy with their life. This book is for someone who is hoping the future will make them feel better. This book is for the person who is always searching for some missing thing in their life – whether it be happiness, relationship, wealth, or whatever it may be. This book is for the person who would like to be enlightened.

Apply the concepts from the book. It is really just the beginning of something special.

Head over to Amazon and pick up The Power of Now.

Enjoy.
