This manual-style book instantly dives into Eckhart Tolle's principles of "living in the moment," which could be a jarring experience for readers who haven't read his preceding book, The Power of Now. For the initiated, though, this makes an excellent companion guide--rich in exercises and meditations to help readers get out of their minds so they can live more peacefully in their bodies. Sometimes it's hard to fathom what on earth Tolle is talking about: "To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of 'feeling-realization' is enlightenment." Be patient. All concepts will be revealed (or at least more carefully explained). Ultimately, Tolle leads readers into a new form of thinking (or actually not thinking) that erases the consuming habits of waiting, worrying, and being in fear. The first step is ending the "delusion of time." He asks, "Are you always trying to get somewhere other than where you are? ... Is most of your doing just a means to an end?" If so, Tolle has a book full of advice for you. As simplistic as this may sound, Tolle's work has spiritual merit and depth, especially for frantic Westerners who find their lives diminished by packed schedules and busy-ness. --Gail Hudson
Product Description
Eckhart Tolle is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s most inspiring spiritual teachers, sharing the enlightenment he himself experienced after a startling personal transformation. His views go beyond any particular religion, doctrine, or guru. This book extracts the essence from his teachings in The Power of Now, showing us how to free ourselves from “enslavement to the mind.” The aim is to be able to enter into and sustain an awakened state of consciousness throughout everyday life. Through meditations and simple techniques, Eckhart shows us how to quiet our thoughts, see the world in the present moment, and find a path to “a life of grace, ease, and lightness.”

 Practicing the Power of Now June 26, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Practicing the Power of Now is a handy companion to Eckhart's wildly popular The Power of Now. Essentially, Practicing the Power of Now contains the same information as in the first book. However, I have to say that I prefer this format. The first book was written in a question answer format. These questions came from the author's students. He also included amalgamated questions that covered a variety of common queries. These question and answer sessions gradually took the reader from common perception through to an understanding of the illusions that we generally accept as real and the importance of the present moment.
Practicing the Power of Now is written in formalized chapters summarizing much of the material written that first book such as being and enlightenment; the origin of fear, entering the now, dissolving consciousness, etc. The best quotations, mediations, and exercises first previously presented are also included.

This is a must read if you want to change your life style. It contains material that has to be read more then once and put into practise. It will change you behavior if you follow the guidelines.

This book is a great follow-up to either The Power Of Now or A New Earth. If you were moved by these books, Practicing the Power of Now will give you more specific suggestions to continue. If you didn't "get" one of Tolle's other books, don't waste your time with this one.
An elegant paradox....a passage into inner calm, peace & happiness, that's always there for you. June 12, 2008
Paradoxically, in a society that desires immediate gratification, this book leads the reader to an immediate solution to the constant underlying discontent that pervades "normal" daily living. And, with this, dissolves the need for that very same gratification. Wow. The increasing degree of inner calm, peace, and contentment in my life are my measures of effectivenes with this book. I have given it (and Eckhart Tolle's book, A New Earth) as gifts over and over again. Eckhart's teaching is a beautiful blend of wisdom from many ancient teachers and many faith traditions (strong on Buddhist and Christian principles), I cannot imagine how it could ever offend anyone. It will deepen and increase the sacredness of anyone's spiritual life. The messages and the practices that are the basis of the teaching in this book are ancient...but they have been beautifully and uniquely blended and packaged for immediate application and practice in our world today. Eckhart is a very special gifted teacher and writer. I apply this same review to A New Earth, but recommend this book as a first read.

Eckhart Tolle, the author of the international bestseller, "Power of Now," highlights his essential teachings and then skillfully offers effective meditations and practices, so that the reader may directly realize the true power of living in the present moment. These exercises encourage a revolutionary shift beyond the mind-made self and its waiting, worrying and fear, so that we may get out of our minds and into the heart. When we are willing to step out of time into the refuge of our timelessness, we live in harmony and peace.
